OK.
I am digging my bunker.
A shit tin, an absolute shit tin of rain in the gauge, and still going. Be even better numbers for Top Ender if he is where I think he is.
BOM only says 30mm for D-town, which is horseshit.
Can I just say I have no opinion either way on Credlins show.
I am ferociously ambivalent about it.
Victoria has come up with the same.
Even if an adult wants to disclose the abuse they suffered as a child, they couldn’t do it.
Even the family of an adult rape-murder victim could be gagged.
Weird.
I see that Red Kezza is refusing his Australia Day honour because he thinks Margaret Court is a poo-bum.
I suspect what really riled him is that she is getting the highest honour (AC) whereas he was only deemed worthy of a second tier AO.
Don’t these people know who he is?
Yes. That one’s been kept very quiet. Hairy, as an international researcher of some experience, was onto it very fast once he’d checked the funding. Ballarat implicated too.
It was actually a CSIRO Vet Science Lab in Geelong. They have a long track record of collaborating with WIV on Gain of Function virus research (engineering viruses), evidenced by their joint publications in research journals. Their publications boast about making viruses more transmissible and/or virulent in the name of researching vaccines.
This very dangerous research was banned under Obama, but reinstated by HIH under Fauci’s leadership.
This virus clearly escaped from WIV. It has all happened in plain sight. Like so much the left gets away with.
He was just revisiting the old parliamentary tradition of the Norse where any man could have his say in the ‘Thing’, the basic speakers’ meeting. We visited the site of the main ‘Thing’ in Iceland, on the fissure of the earth that cuts Iceland in two. Odin’s territory.
The oldest parliamentary ‘Thing’ is now in the Isle of Man, the Tynwald. It is a hill composed of earth clods brought regularly there by the relevant groups meeting.
Ha, ha.
I guess that is where I am too.
Especially since I turned Foxtel off (although I think it might be on FTA somewhere).
The thought of AJ five days a week wouldn’t get me back to Foxtel either.
Heading for my book. King Coel will have to wait till after Straya Day now.
Just watched Lauren Southern on PML interviewing some denizens of Newtown about Invasion Day.
lol. She offered a colourful ‘ticket’ back to Europe for those who wanted to go. No-one took her up on it, even those very few who were for ‘invasion’. Actually, most people she talked to were pretty hot to trot for Aussie BBQ day. It’s a beat up, in other words. No-one wants it to change, not even in trendy Newtown.

I quite like the idea of Harmony Guides myself. Who wouldn’t want to reach Harmony Master Level 15 with all its perks?
Which of you thought I didn’t ‘get’ this bloke’s schtick?
He isn’t even a useful idiot.
Just an idiot.
Here he is arguing with a Trot that the Trot should engage with a Boogaloo boy.
The Trotskyist rightly points out that as the left is Internationalist and wants to abolish the nation state and the right believes in the nation state, the two have completely conflicting aims: that’s political reality.
This Dore guy really believes all the soppy bullshit communists come up with to justify power.
He really believes it!
At least the Trot knows what it’s about: get power by any means, then crush your enemies both to the left and right.
This is why the current mess is not good. Not good at all. The commies are the more realistic about gaining power. If the USA further disintegrates into the establishment v. radicals of various strains, it’s the hardcore communists who have the ability to come out on top.
They are always in a minority, but always more realistic in the later stages of revolution: they close the deals that matter.

I don’t mind harmless nutters, or eccentrics if you like … but falling for something that was planned by the bad guys is not a good look. What’s worse is they just keep lapping it up … forever!
Actually, can one be “ferociously ambivalent”?
Shucks. Ballarat, Geelong, not much difference. All in Victoria, gold fields stuff.
And very subject to influence. Honest mistake. Honest.
Ooops. Have just checked. Geelong wasn’t a gold field.
Look, I haven’t done Australian history since primary school, when it was all explorers.
I’ve been to Geelong. It had a lot of gold money in it, I am sure of that. Big buildings.
Correct.

Delightful. Couldn’t happen to a better fuckwit.
Wool, Lizzie, not gold. From the days when the nation’s financial success rode on the sheep’s back. And lamb chops were cheaper than chicken, not $45.00+ a kilo.
If the establishment doesn’t come up with some plausible bullshit to address the problems of covid, wealth gap, crumbling society, institutional capture by radical ideologues, deep structural unemployment and increasing homelessness, then it’s obvious to everyone at this point that the centre will not hold: the USA experiencing a communist revolution is no longer an absurd idea.

O.K., here’s the plan: We give them the segregation they want, but only two tribes: the Productive, and the Unproductive (I know. I’m being generous with the language). Think of the TV show Survivor. Each tribe gets to choose which parts of Australia they want, and then we wait for the Unpros to lay waste to their territory, march in, reclaim and rebuild. All done ‘by the book’.

But he did read out two of my e-mails, so there is that.
The establishment, at this point, appears to have decided that the answer to increasing radical factions from both left and right is to censor, silence and repress.
If it works we are left in an authoritarian repressive state.
If it doesn’t work, we get a revolution.
They need to rethink their approach.
Kudos to the bloke who decided that, instead of using them for stock, thought, “You know what. I am going to stand these on their ends in a bed of mash, with a moat of gravy … no, jus around them and charge $30 a copy.”

‘two of my e-mails’
Nobody approved that. Let me check the minutes. I’m sure one e-mail, formulated by the steering committee was agreed on.
This virus was cultivated in the WIV Laboratory to increase its transmissibility. Many scientists, such as Petrovski from Flinders attest to this. There are no scientists presenting cogent arguments against this, other than those saying ‘no it isn’t’ (is this the right room for an argument?), such as the WHO.
We have the first ever ‘pandemic’ generated by an engineered virus.
Do you want another one, next year, or thereafter?

Eli Lily has made an antibody based treatment for Coronavirus “COVID 19”.
Okay:

Can it be mimicked or analogous in a synthetic form which can be more cheaply mass produced at much higher volumes of doses?

The former host of the ABC’s Four Corners and 7.30 programs wrote to the Governor-General’s secretary Paul Singer on Sunday knocking back his appointment as an Officer (AO) of the Order of Australia — the second-highest honour.

NEW VIDEO #TrumpsNewArmy VOLUME UP
On January 20th Donald Trump will no longer be The Commander in Chief.
He will lose control of the U.S. Armed Forces and take control of a NEW ARMY.
Seems a complicated way at giving violent people more money
Last year Indianapolis’ homicide total jumped to 245 violent deaths, a 40% increase over the year before, and if the first three weeks of 2021 are any indication, that rate has not slowed.
The City is betting $400,000 of its 2021 community crime prevention grant money on an aggressive and admittedly “dangerous” program to send so-called Interrupters into the homes of the most violent people in Indianapolis in an attempt to convince them to not retaliate in the wake of murders or shootings and perhaps even give up their guns and their violent lifestyles.
“We have kind of recruited some of the people that we know who are in the business and have the nerve because this is dangerous work and so we sometimes don’t know what we’re walking into, so these guys have stepped up to do that,” said Majors. “They have lived similar lives. They either used to be gang members or used to be drug dealers or used to be just in the life of violence themselves, went and served time and came back and have now adjusted their thinking to want to help those to be what they wish they had when they were going through those lifestyles to be able to transform.”
Six Interrupters, ex-felons or those familiar with violent crime, have been hired by the Indy Public Safety Foundation, the City’s partner in the project, to hit the streets both before and after violence goes down in an attempt to cool tempers and talk sense, sometimes greasing the conversation with cash, while trying to stem the flow of bloodshed.

This will result in a secondary epidemic of burnouts and stress-related absenteeism in the latter half of 2020

Mark A….you are concerned about commenting about Credlin after you witnessed a pile on of me ?
Don’t be too concerned. A couple of scared old farts having to lie about what I said, having to make shit up and repeat it, having to put MV’s words in my mouth (apparently I have said something about today being a day when I said no such thing) make them look like the gooses they are.
They have to do it, because they’ve been proven wrong and can’t stand it.
Especially from a truckie.
(I have not been just a “truckie” all my life, far from it, but I push that image to get up people’s noses, and even worked in a joint defence facility called Pine Gap for some years….quite an insight)
They’re gutless sneerers.
I was right about Credlin.
She achieved nothing, and the point I made has been born out to be correct.
You don’t go after communists when you half agree with their tyranny and expect to win.
Remember, she big mouthed and told everyone how she wasn’t “going away” and that she’ll never give up.
She’s given up.
Why?
Because she lacks the integrity of true right wing values and conviction.
That’s what I was pointing out. She is not what she claims to be.
People should have been able to see that a mile away. Sticks out like dog’s balls.
She is a political game player from a back ground of agrarian socialists who like to think they are conservative.
If she hadn’t put herself out there as being the great fighter for the right when she wouldn’t know right wing values if she fell over them, she wouldn’t have made herself out to be the joke she now obviously is.
Nikki Haley is always impressive.
https://twitter.com/NikkiHaley/status/1353709213202206725
I was right about this being nothing to do with a virus when most shit themselves here in February, and I was right about Credlin, and although the sneerers have nothing so need to put MV’s words in my mouth, who is no associate of mine, they’ve got nothing.
Hollowmen.
People aren’t stupid here, they can see that, but somehow we live in a world where people care about pixels on a computer screen as if it is a concern.
I don’t.
Not here to make friends with jerks.
Don’t mind making them with good people.
But I’m not here to be friends with everyone.
I’m here nowadays , and I’m starting to believe I am wrong, because I believed this site to be where right wingers hang out and I could gauge where they were up to in understanding what is going on around them, that I could gauge where people are up to on this coup d’etat.
This blog has fallen behind many others , now, when it counts.
And Catallaxy used to be miles ahead and predicting things way before they happened.
Fear and overwhelming propaganda aimed directly at the demographic here, has had a massive affect, as we witnessed with the likes of Notafan.
Now it is behind, and that in part is due to people like Frank who care deeply about what other pixels think of his pixels, and is a piss in his pants denialist, sneering away at others for being conspiracy theorists when the facts are what we present is straight from the enemy’s mouth and after a year we can see it all being put in place, but these guys, when their nation needs them the most, turn on the cricket and help the ratings and therefore the money made by the media corporates pushing the propaganda.
Believe me, Mark, at this point in time, you don’t need enemies when your friends are people like Frank.
He’s helping things along, trying to keep people off target.
You’d swear he was a Liberal party hack.
Happy Australia day……bye.
Loved Spooner’s take on Australia Day Grinches.
Happy Australia Day everyone!
It would appear that once again I have missed out in the Australia Day honours list. Once. Again.
It’s okay though in some respects, because there are aspiring rappers, who have risen to rank of alleged rappers like this bloke who made the grade (NT News):
‘DANZAL Baker, known onstage as Baker Boy, has been awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia for his service to the performing arts as a musician and a singer.
‘However, he won’t be celebrating the honour today, declining media opportunities and releasing a statement indicating he would instead be in mourning of Invasion Day connotations surrounding Australia Day.
‘“I’m grateful for this recognition, and look forward to being able to share and celebrate it but I do not wish to comment any further at this stage as I am in mourning for Invasion Day,” the statement read.
‘“I look forward to a time where we celebrate our country, our people and their achievements on a different day out of respect for all of my First Nations brothers and sisters.”’
But he’s keeping the gong, which puts him a step above Red Kerry.
Two epistles, straight off the bat, followed by a bit of sniping and then gorn.
St. Ruth, as I’ve repeatedly said you make SOME good points, you really do – but it’s buried in the bullshit and the people you associate with who are not only squarely in taxi-driver grade nutter territory, but who continue to associate themselves with you. And you let this run.
‘I believed this site to be where right wingers hang out and I could gauge where they were up to in understanding what is going on around them, that I could gauge where people are up to on this coup d’etat.’
See this? It’s this condescending, pompous shit that jacks people up. Whether ‘the people’ are up to the St. Ruth level of requisite understanding. You’ve walked back every Great Prediction of your own, never mind Faulty’s, you were all for armed punch-ons ‘when we have a chance of winning’ until you decided that – according to your interpretation of where the people ‘were up to in understanding’ – they weren’t going for it.
And then you walked it back. Along with the other stuff. I fucking loathe Credlin, but you’ve made me a fan of hers just by your slagging off that her questions didn’t follow those you sent her in your letters. And going on about about it for weeks like a jilted teenage girl.
Stop telling people what to do. They’ve had enough of it recently, and don’t need it from Mr. ‘I have done enough’ from his couch.
This is apparently real. Warning: crikkit:
‘For all of his quirkiness Labuschagne does have one thing in his favour as a leader – an incredible zest for the contest.’
That was Robert Craddock in The Hun, pondering over Tim Paine’s successor. Labuschagne is yuuugely entertaining when he’s not copying the sooking cheat’s batting mannerisms, but the leader of this nations, crikkit team he is not. Yet.

The 107-page complaint and demand for a jury trial claimed Mr Giuliani and his allies manufactured and disseminated the “Big Lie”, which “deceived millions of people into thinking that Dominion had stolen their votes and fixed the election.”

I think people should appreciate ScoMo’s trolling culture warriors by elevating Margaret Court.
He is smart.”
Morrison had nothing to do with deciding the award…and given his unwillingness to fight anything to do with the “cultural wars”, I doubt very much he would have gone into bat for Court.
I’m a victim.
Of a pylon.

Happy Australia Day people.
“Renowned journalist Kerry O’Brien has rejected his Australia Day award, saying the decision to give former tennis great Margaret Court the country’s highest honour is “deeply insensitive” and “divisive”.”
Good. Message to Red Kezza, the only insensitive and divisive person here is you and the organisation you once worked for.
Happy Australia Day everyone.
Happy Prison Island Day!
University of Rhode Island and Director of Graduate Studies Erik Loomis recently claimed “science, statistics and technology” are racist.
“Science, statistics, and technology are all inherently racist because they are developed by racists who live in a racist society, whether they identify as racists or not,” Loomis tweeted in reference to a New York Times article.
“This is why I have so much contempt for those, including many liberals, who ‘just want the data.’ The data is racist!” he continued.
Erik Loomis Bio
Swamp creature. Romney in a dress.
The world is going through another phase of mass insanity, never ends in anything other than mass bloodshed.
Erik Loomis is too dumb to get a STEM degree, or publish any quantitative, empirical research.
He could be weeded out with an IQ test.
Yeah I never got the fawning over Haley.
She’s no Rand Paul or Joni Ernst.
As opposed to the rest of the team?
saying the decision to give former tennis great Margaret Court the country’s highest honour
What a retarded statement.
Made up ribbons given out to most for doing what they were well compensated to do.
In the words of the great Hale and Pace:
‘Australia. The world’s most luxurious open prison.’
‘The World’s First Gender-Neutral School Uniform’
You’d think the Taiwanese would know their own local history.
Maos’ Red Guards had the whole gender-neutral thing happening yonks ago.
‘As opposed to the rest of the team?’
Yup. That’ll be news to all his teammates – that they don’t have ‘zest’.
The class clown hardly ever gets to be school captain, and for good reason.
“Nikki Haley is always impressive.”
I like her. Haley, along with Mike Pompeo and Richard Grenell, was one of Trump’s successes.
Can’t say the same about warmonger John Bolton.
Thanks for that image, Dover. 😂
The lamb is about to hit the oven. All garliced and rosmaried, a slurp of olive oil and lashings of pepper and salt. Serving it warm (it’s going to be boiling here) with mint and salad. Mum is bringing the prawns.
Happy Aussie Day!
Numbers I cannot wait for defamation cases to hit court , Powell also had same charges ..I suppose because you seem to know everything you have read Dominion’s instruction manual and read the Antrim County case. Among your credentials I assume you are an expert in computer security systems so you can present some evidence or do you just repeat opinions from the MSM ?
Richard Grenell is one of the names been thrown around to run against Newsom in CA.
Might be good profile raising for him.
Wrong, another coffee first.
I no more associate with anyone than I associate with you.
Stiff shit.
People who I never talked down to lost their minds with this crap, and if you think enough of your fellow countrymen you’ll do what you can to bring them back, and tip toe-ing around it wasn’t going to do it.
Many here needed a reality smack in the mouth…….I give you Notafan as an example.
Was she going to come around without a does of hard hitting smelling salts?
She hasn’t even got there yet.
You speak as if everyone else was meak and mild and polite and not getting stuck into old “playing gigs you selfish bastard and you’ll kill my nanna”
So enough of the victimhood, please. It doesn’t wash. People give it hard here and I’m not the only one.
Many here, in my view, have had a disgraceful reaction to this coup d’etat and I don’t back away from talking down to them, as they don’t with me.
That is a straight out lie, and only one have I walked back, which I have admitted to, which was in regards to the supply chain.
Everything else I have said I stand by and do to this day.
Another complete lie.
But it suits your narrative.
Calling you a liar, is not me walking things back, it is calling you a liar.
Big difference.
This is you putting MV’s comments in my mouth.
For the hundredth time, I was asked after MV’s comments whether I agreed to this coming to violent conflict, which I agreed with and still do, and if you look at the protests in Melbourne , already has… I stand by my comments 100%.
No good fighting against this when everyone wants this, as many here did…….you can deny it all you want, but back at the start people on this very blog were calling for the place to be shut down.
You can be a thick dishonest bastard if you like and conflate fighting with violence, but in stating we cannot fight until people want to fight, that wasn’t in reference to violence. You guys decided that’s what I meant. But you are fucking liars and spinners.
So not walking back there either.
No.
I made a comment that she wasn’t going to get anywhere and that she’s doing it wrong.
I was then pounced on by her fanclub if you remember, by one in particular who I can’t remember now as he doesn’t post here often anymore, with the “at least she is doing something line” and was up me for the rent.
So in fighting back, you clowns don’t like it.
Well guess what , she achieved not only nothing, but reinforced the lie that Andrews killed people therefore reinforcing the propaganda of the deadly killing power of the socialist sniffles.
Overall she did harm, not good.
So, unfortunately, I’m correct again.
Never told anyone what to do, however translating that comment means……I have ignored the pile ons and attacks of the rest of many on catallaxy, as we are all angelic Kumbaya peace nicks who never say a cross word to anyone, are never sarcastic and full of abuse, just innocently sitting here being attacked by Struth.
Spare me your pathetic drivel.
For example.
If you actually cared for the likes of notafan you would have got stuck into her as well.
On the “honours” list.
It seems to me that fewer and fewer ordinary people doing extraordinary things voluntarily are being gonged. Volunteers are shrinking, meanwhile activism is on the rise. As for doing your job well…don’t you get paid for that?
The pool of worthy recipients is getting more and more shallow. As for Kezza – he doesn’t value the gong. He prefers to signal his empty virtue. Never, ever, ever offer him one again.

Thanks for letting me know that….Grenell is very impressive. I was also wondering about the prospects of Elon Musk going up against Newsom
I looked in my diary for last year, in which I recorded not only my dwindling engagements, but also landmarks in the Covid “crisis”.
Sunday marks the first anniversary of seeing someone in a mask. In Brisbane.
Oh shit, don’t predict that Zippy….that means you’re calling for an armed uprising around this ‘ere blog.
‘Renowned journalist Kerry O’Brien has rejected his Australia Day award,’
Best remembered the days for his slobbering and fawning over public figures he approved of and his gushing over fashionable lower middlebrow celebrities.
A few years back, the taxpayer funded O’Brien’s trip to London to interview the late Clive James. O’Brien was his usual servile self, but James, not, so far as I could tell, intentionally, made him look dull and ordinary.
What was interesting about that interview was O’Brien’s extraordinary appearance in his older age. With his bloated cheeks, pencil-thin neck and huge swag gut, he looked like someone going to a fancy dress party as ‘Mr Squiggle’ .
Naturally, the media pictures of him that accompany his current search for relevance are mostly ‘ from the archives’.
Are people bothering to nominate volunteers?
Me personally don’t give a fig about ‘straya day awards’ madga includes them in her title, nuff said.
I actually think I have an Australia Day medallion in a drawer somewhere. Lol.

Oh.
The best thing he has in his favour is Delta, enough said.
Must admit, I read that the wrong way at first before the context made it clearer. Along the lines of a minor tweaking of things hitting the fan.
Volunteers are shrinking, meanwhile activism is on the rise.
From personal experience, the process of nominating volunteers is quite tortuous.
I suspect they have a streamlined approach for activists and celebrities.
Frank , Nick has come in proving my point that you guys are putting MV’s words in my mouth.
You need to have a little word in his ear………
Remember there is now a duty of care for all gang leaders, no matter how small the gang.
For some groups, eg dealing with the homeless, the waiting list is quite long. I helped one group that in theory was a great idea, but they got greedy, became too heavy and treated their volunteers like dirt.
How could that ever be the case that MV would ever speak of anything you’ve said to him, given you don’t ‘associate with anyone’. How would he know what you thought privately? Oh wait.
The jam is fancy. I repeat, the jam is fancy.
GO GO GO!!!
Oh.
Seems AO awards go to some tax leach or other for doing his or her ‘job’. Just another gewgaw that the loathsome establishment gives itself. Does not impress me in the slightest except for the amount of tax that is extorted from me.
Spike Lee: Trump ‘will go down in history with the likes of Hitler’
Meanwhile, Biden just extended funding for abortion.
He gets excited at the prospect of killing babies, especially coloured ones.

Chronic alcoholism will do that.
You’re telling the lies, er story, so you tell me?
How does MV know what my stance on anything is, and why would you take his word and not mine?
Explain yourself.
Never liked Clive Robertson but Kerry O’Pooface was a good name. Very apt.
As we are now seeing quite clearly.
All that matters in this world is who has the guns.
Who has the power.
I stand by that comment 100%
Frank, get in here before you have to come in swinging your pathetic sarcasm about to deflect from Nick’s lack of basic comprehension.
You have a duty of care.
If Ric Grenell runs in CA, re will rediscover for the nth time that it means nothing to be one of the left’s protected species (i.e. gay) if you’re a member of the wrong political tribe.
He will be like the black man who discovers he’s an Uncle Tom because he thinks for himself. The antifa death threats will be personal and Silicon Valley will publish all the details of his personal life, his movements and the names of his associates.
In any case. the US judiciary’s blanket refusal to hear evidence of cheating by their friends in the
Democratic Party in the November election green-lights massive vote fraud in every election, state and federal, for the foreseeable future.
The USA is now a one-party banana republic (controlled by the Chinese Communist Party) in which Republicans who take on the swamp can never win key offices like the presidency because the result of all elections will be pre-determined by state Democratic Party officials shipping in the necessary number of ballots after the polls close to ensure Republicans can’t win.
C’mon Frank, nothing funnier than watching the village idiot come out demonstrating his karate prowess thinking the rest of the gang is behind him.
Ah, well, not quite.
The original words spoken on your behalf came from Faulty.
So there are only two options:-
1. Faulty was telling the truth and was repeating a private conversation between you two; or
2. Faulty is a liar and roped you into his Dad’s Army fantasy.
Which is it?
Which Frank are you referring to?

Tom, excellent comment and 100% true.
The other Frank, Frank.
I am outraged by the AC awarded to the odious Malcolm Turnbull. So I am returning to the Governor-General the medal I was given when I was in primary school to commemorate the 1954 Royal Visit.
Maladroit Blight Trumble Esq.’s award is a consolation prize from the prog-left for losing the Liberal leadership to the odious suburban dag Scott Morrison.
He certainly doesn’t have any achievements to warrant it.
The groovy gang is here early, musta checked their emails.
Ha ha they gave one to Trumble? What for? Services to himself?

note also that O’Brien’s taxpayer-funded junket actually let Red Kezza self-produce the taped interview
ie we chumps paid the ABC to get him there, and then pay his production company to broadcast it in prime-time to boot
Former ABC journalist Kerry O’Brien rejects Australia Day honour in protest over Margaret Court award
Wrong reason but right call. Useless overpaid turds shouldn’t get awards.
Our small town has dozens of people more worthy. Kind acts supporting the elderly or disabled and they do it every day of the year for nothing more than a thank you.
Yes spot on Tom. All this talk about DJT or someone else running in 2024 is irrelevant.
I’ve already told you, smart arse.
You know what my stance is on all issues from what I have said.
You don’t need to go to MV to know what I think.
But you do, you attempt to put MV’s words in my mouth, and that is dishonest , low class, bitchy school girl stuff.
Putting MV’s words in my mouth because you are devoid of argument so you need to attempt character assassination by association.
You may think you are a smarty pants Frank, but it never wins against straight forward honest conviction and integrity.
People don’t have to be smarter than you to make you look like the C..nt you are, they just have to have a bit of integrity. It fucks people like you up every time.
It takes a while, and it takes persistence, but when the likes of you come up against it, you are shown up to be the shit you really are.
Every single time.
Waffleworth gets a gong. That’s more offensive than a C00n cheese sandwich.

The ABC then claims that practice is adding value to the government’s – i.e. the tax payers – investment and contributing tot he economy by employing people outside of the corporation.
Seriously..
‘Both Struth and I accept that it may very well come to that, Struth even more so than me. And we are both prepared to go whatever lengths necessary, including violence and armed resistance.’
You’ve never distanced yourself from this nuttery. Ever. Except to go ‘oh but when we have a chance of winning.’
You’re a fence-sitter. That’s all.
‘I don’t back away from talking down to them’
And yet you scream and bitch when people quite rightly take the piss out of your pompous, omnipotent ‘I’m just a Stubbies-wearing battered hat-having steely-eyed genuine Aussie type looking over the top stockyard rail’ schtick.
‘we cannot fight until people want to fight, that wasn’t in reference to violence.’
Liability Bob-grade dissembling. After you were taken to task on it, and discovering some of ‘the people’ weren’t on board. And then there’s this:
‘So enough of the victimhood, please. It doesn’t wash’ – followed by ‘I have ignored the pile ons and attacks of the rest of many on catallaxy’. Alinsky.
All you’re doing now is justifying your very public hitching you wagon to a star – that star being a pair of world class nuffies. You do know this. Right?
I’ll make a prediction of my own. The Great Furniture Shop Schism is imminent. No room for fence-sitters there.
Yes, Tom.
The die is cast. It will take a great cataclysm to change direction now.
Waffleworth gets a gong.

Really, she should return it in protest…no?
I wish carro would go back to London.
Happy Australia day from NQ. Some observations from the trip across country. Rural Australia is on it’s last legs unless there are mines or funnily enough the old school family owned farms. The absence of chilren & frequency of the elderly stark in some of the more decaying regions.
A large jump in people idenifying as ATSI especially pasty red haired types.
Parts of the Gregory Developmental rd rd especially round Clermont are in such poor repair they would be better maintained by returning to gravel and sending a grader along every few months to smooth out. The current configuration is dangerous.
Lastly, silver lining to Adani. First time ever I had almost constant mobile service along the 400km of nothing between Charters Towers & Clermont. New railway under construction too. Good to see.
Dover is right about Nikki Haley (Romney in a dress).
She talks a good game, but was one of the backstabbers who deserted Trump.
Never mind what they say, watch what they do.
I wish carro would go back to London.

Apparently if I don’t denounce whatever the opposition says, I’m a fence sitter.
Could it possibly be that i disagree with some of what he says and not other things?
Because a lot of what MV has said in the past is completely lookie and to be laughed at.
And he was told by me.
And we had a big blue about his behaviour with women, even though i was trying to be sympathetic because his wife had just died.
But , as explained before you tribalist git, I am my own man and agree with some points people say and not others.
So once and for all for you fuckheads….I agree with the proposition that this will all end in blood shed, and we’ll probably end up fighting against it, physically and not just peaceably, and it doesn’t matter who says it, I agree with that proposition.
How hard is it for you Schmucks?

Yes it certainly is. Good to see resistance against the marxist attempts to destroy our economy. Is Ardani getting any help from our miserable, treasonous banks?
lookie equals kookie, or kooky, even.

Turncoat gonged, eh? The Australia Day awards lost all credibility when Flanners got Oz of The Year in 2007. It’s now a ‘celebration’ to be mocked. Annually.

I don’t if the elites think that they are making everyman jealous. I just hold them in contempt.

Just typical Asian youth cuteness. Quite amusing.
Note that you can still tell the girls from the boys, no matter what they’re wearing.
Something called biology still at work there if you look closely.
Those bastards should never get a gong. They are a big part of the problem. In Perth there are literally 50 groups make life comfortable for the derros. Great incentive to stay a derro.
Awards.
I think at this point most adults realise awards are given to the worst stooges, not to the best or greatest contributors.
If I see someone in any field of endeavour has an award, I just think, “Ah. You’re a dirty, back stabbing fucking stooge”.
Not always. But often enough.
Those individuals doing actual hard work to preserve what’s left of our crumbling civilisation do it in silence and in the face of opposition, neglect or sabotage from those who give the awards.
Cassie. ‘ I doubt very much he would have gone in to bat for Court.’ You should be very proud of that one Cassie. Maybe the whole thing’s a racket anyway.
Where would we be without such words of wisdom, on Australia Day?
Never distanced yourself. Ever.
No amount of ‘over there!’s will change that.
Colorbond or picket?
KD, I’ll repeat what I said last night. It’s funny watching some Cats develop a few hangers on, thinking they are part of a movement until that one day peterfile allegations are made, or comments about how they really feel about guns, women, violence etc are made, when the penny drops and they distance themselves like a dropped pie.
And while we are at it. If any of the sneerers club want to put up an alternative web site, a blog, for when, (which is now more likely than if) this blog gets closed down, I would happily and heartily congratulate you on being proactive in the situation we find ourselves.
NFA set up the furniture shop and although we all don’t agree on everything, good on him for doing it. Doing something, would you not agree?
And when Sinclair shut this blog down, people could go there.
It was meant as a back up, as NFA explained to me.
I went there to get away from the denialism that was here for much of last year, which was important for me to do for my sanity.
So sue me.
You may never go there and that’s fine, but to criticise people for starting another right wing blog while doing nothing yourselves is beyond pathetic.

Saying it doesn’t make it so, cockhead.
I don’t distance myself from anything I have said and stand by the lot.
As I have proven again this morning.
And you can’t prove I haven’t.
To wake up and find that Red Kezza and Malturd have both been given a gong proves that the whole award system has become a racket.
I have lamb and a very full bodied, smooth tannined, and almost shiraz-peppery Pinot Noir, standing by for lunch.
How brilliant has the lamb marketing board been persuading a nation of steak eaters that lamb is the meat for their national day?
And we call this freedom and prosperity.
A lot of righties shooting at each other.
Whatever happened to Gary Cooper? You know, the strong, silent type?
Nick, you’re relatively new here, and there is a history that many people know regarding myself and MV.
He’s always been someone I argued with more than most.
But I agree with propositions and statements and they are not based on who says them, but what those statements are.
You guys being tribalists, little gang types, don’t get that.
I’m just saying, you’re making a goat of yourself, and your gang leader has a responsibility for your mental health.
Margaret Court’s award made it to the end. I assumed it would be withdrawn. These days, the minute the
Left and their acolytes begin caterwauling the response is, that everyone runs for cover. Someone must be held to account for this lapse. The shame and guilt are there: ‘hurtful, divisive, disgraceful and costing lives’ should have been taken very seriously
To wake up and find that Red Kezza and Malturd have both been given a gong proves that the whole award system has become a racket.
Of course it is Cassie. You get one for having the ‘correct’ opinions and/or doing your job and/or services to yourself/your family.
The sickest one of all is the PSM. To think that such an ‘award’ even exists.
The guy you’ve never associated with ?
It’s interesting reading the SMH and of the self righteous comments about those who want to change the date are a sizeable group, despite Fairfax’s own polling putting them at about 33%, when, say 50% of Australians would want more Conservative voices at the ABC is derided.
Completely correct … but at least Kerry O’Brien showed remarkable integrity admitting himself unworthy and thus boosting the reputation of Australia overall.
So from now on, I will not take kindly to people putting other people’s words in my mouth and claiming I said them.
There is still some laws that can be upheld.
People holding me to account for my own words is fair enough.
You start putting me in with p…e..d.os and fringe types there may be consequences.
You quote me on what I have said from now on, and only what I have said.
This comment above is actionable.
How brilliant has the lamb marketing board been persuading a nation of steak eaters that lamb is the meat for their national day?
Ah…you must be a young’un, ML.
Lamb was often on the table growing up – several times a week as chops, stew or roast on Sunday.
Beef was eaten as mince or corned more often than a cut of steak as I recall.
And in those pre-battery farm days a roasted chicken was reserved for special occasions.
So they’re building on a solid tradition, but it is very clever marketing, no doubt.
The Left in this country speaks through the ABC. It marks whatever it wants to be targeted by the commentariat, twittermob, and the like. It always begins the two-minutes of hate which is now a 24-hr calumny we call a news cycle. My wife bumped into a neighbor who is a regular viewer of the ABC and you could already determine what her talking points were knowing just this: impeachment, Court, and ‘Invasion Day’.
The ABC is the most partisan news outlet in our political landscape.
Strange you assumed I was speaking about you, Struth. Go for it.
And you claim I walk things back.
FMD.
It’s why I say stuff like that. To create that impression.
Tennis legend Margaret Court says she is praying for Daniel Andrews because their beliefs have skewed ‘so far left’ they have lost touch with Australia’s values.
Is there still a Patron Saint of Lost Causes?
Lot of smoke being generated around Australia Day. Expect an “it’s all too hard” approach to this problematic day shortly. Until a comfortable and relaxed John Howard draped himself in the flag I don’t remember much being made of Australia Day at all growing up.
Does God have the numbers?
Lol
Saint Jude,
Tennis legend Margaret Court says she is praying for Daniel Andrews because their beliefs have skewed ‘so far left’ they have lost touch with Australia’s values.
I would say this was magnificent trolling but she is no doubt sincere…and correct.
Grace under pressure.
Nick, you’re not that bright, so be careful, Frank isn’t always going to be here for you.
I hear he told others he’s sick of having to come in here and save your butt with tedious sarcasm.
I was listening to MMM 90s last week and their news characterized her similar statement, where she responded to Andrews with, Bless, as ‘bizarre’. But a man in a dress is ‘stunning’.
As I remember, Australia Day was a Bob Hawke “invention”, first step to republic.
We started first celebrating Australia day in 1808.
Those trying to demean it as not a worthy thing to worry about are surrender monkeys to the left.
don’t remember much being made of Australia Day at all growing up.
There were many such things we simply took for granted back in the day. Now they arouse suspicion and then subject to the torch of intersectionality. A few, like Labour Day, Sorry Day etc survive; others begin to flag under interminable assault.
It’s why I say stuff like that. To create that impression.
You must remember “mock chicken” sandwiches then?
And Devon sandwiches too, smothered in the condiment of choice – tomato sauce!
White bread only, of course. (How racist we were.)
“Tennis legend Margaret Court says she is praying for Daniel Andrews because their beliefs have skewed ‘so far left’ they have lost touch with Australia’s values.”
I love this by Margaret because whilst I have no doubt she is sincere about “praying for Andrews” and from what I know of her she doesn’t have a mean or spiteful bone in her body, I just love the fact that she’s talking about such things as “praying” for her critics….because she’s rubbing the noses of Andrews and all the rest of the progressive left Marxist scum in their own shit.

Guy Fawkes Night was more eagerly anticipated.
People still celebrated Australia day when I was growing up , but being Australians, thought they were too cool for school for all the flag waving stuff the yanks carried on with………well look where that’s got us.

I’m reading some of the comments on an article on Australia Day, on the Sydney Moaning Hemorrhoid site – so much ignorance about Australia’s history!
