    Pretty bummed at the FASCIST country and world I inhabit today. Played music with old mates today and then was removed from the pub before getting a beer. My old mates just got on with drinking and I had to drive home parched in the 38 degree heat. Not a soldiers’ sacrifice but just pissed me off today. The town has a pop of under 1000 and all the people at the pub were sweaty old unhealthy pissheads with a few bleary-eyed years left and I was too unhealthy to enter. Give me a break.
    The people on the street here happy to see Novak punished and removed is crazy. It also means your tennis tournament is a farce, a movie it’s not real if the best player/s are removed. It’s just a club and a pantomime.
    Arrangements for an alternative economy are being executed but I miss the old ways and the old days sometimes.

    Well, the galoots in DC gave Putin basically an ultimatum; stand down on Ukraine or else!

    Putin called their bluff and upped them one; guess who will back down?
    Ha Ha, not a fair question; the U.S, of course…if they do not? War!
    And that’s a fact!
    We’re close, very very close…the warhawks in DC are itching for a fight…which is really pathetic; they’ll lose and get us all killed in the process.
    This is just plain stupid human tricks and we’ll pay the price…

    For Gary and his comments. This is by a far-leftist cartoonist.

    “That said, deaths have continued to remain remarkably low.”

    “Low” generally does not mean “zero” in journalism. If you have zero, you write zero. Why? Because wouldn’t zero imply no causation? Thus no action? Thus possibly, no story?

    “Australia’s strong border protection policies have kept us safe during the pandemic, resulting in one of the lowest death rates, strongest economic recoveries, and highest vaccination rates in the world.”

    One of these things is not like the others. Name that Non Sequitur.

    “43 Million vaccination doses have been administered.”

    The point of the vaccines is the vaccines. It’s an article of faith, not medicine. Oz rates are skyrocketing. Like every other vaccinated place worldwide. That’s why they say “Mandates are a success” here. “Success” means “We made you obey”, not “Rates were lowered at all” because they weren’t, they rose. But any time I can express power over, now THAT, is true success that makes life worth living.

    But that’s so weird, it would be like Australia saying “We love being happy, prosperous…and owning a bag of hammers. There’s nothing like a bag of hammers to describe how successful we are. Hammers are their own reward.”

    I…Guess? I mean, congratulations? We were talking about that other thing tho…

    And like SCOTUS, the Judge avoids all law and reason and makes some weird third case like a weasel. I mean, just say it if you believe it. They don’t. We don’t. “We know they are lying. They know we know they are lying. We know they know that we know that they are lying. Yet they are still lying” – Solzhenitsyn

    Rogan posts Gupta, great! And like Malone. Great! And people who believe in Aliens and Bigfoot. Great!

    Why is that great? BECAUSE HE’S A REPORTER. Or what we have now that 60 Minutes is dead. This may not have come to your attention before now, but REPORTERS TALK TO PEOPLE.

    These people are terrified ninny-pants that someone will think differently and won’t obey them. Why? THEY LITERALLY BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE INSTANTLY OBEY ANYONE THEY HEAR. Who does that??? The only explanation I have is that THEY believe anything people tell THEM, so they naturally project and believe that’s true for others. Since THEY would be persuaded by whoever they last heard on the radio, they have to allow only people they agree with on the radio.

    Meanwhile, the non-retarded part of the population — that is, most of it — are ABLE TO DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES when they hear ideas whether they are credible or not. That this weirdo fringe doesn’t seem to feel that’s possible and are terrified of presenting their ideas shows how weak and, frankly, mentally deranged they are. The point of posting people who believe in Bigfoot IS NOT TO BELIEVE IN BIGFOOT, it’s to open your mind and hear someone with ideas different from yours.

    They don’t want an open mind, they want universally CLOSED minds. #Anti-Diversity. Or they would just debate it in the open, and win or lose, like we have for 5,000 years.

    And as I have to remind people here, “Doctors call out”. Translation: SOME doctors disagree with “Rogan” (actually not, wtf, but his guests, who even HE does not agree with, so why “Rogan” unless your mind is made of pudding). OTHER doctors agree with “Rogan”. So “Rogan” is like all other subjects on planet earth, including Pineapple Pizza. Some like. Some do not like.

    Ban Pineapple Pizza NOW! I do not like it, YOU must not have it. It is an affront to all things Woke and Holy. Everyone must be the same as me and my ego.

    Experiments are suicide“. No payout! But also the Brighteon zoom conference where the doctors could clearly tell the Pharma running new, different mass-human experiments in coordinated rotation. What are they for? Why be related to Covid or the vaccines at all? You could turn them into cyborgs or something and really get the jump on the competition. There’s literally nothing written on the bottle. No liability, they could be testing anything, it could be anything in the bottle, and is.

    “Covid in the UK: Reported Cases At Lowest Level For A Month (BBC):”

    So they lowered the number of tests being issued, right? That’s how we do this, right? Remember Pelosi: “Testing Testing Testing”. How we gonna get cases without testing? No one would know they had it, and THEN how we gonna steal $3Trillion and an election?

    “Endemicity was written into this virus,” says Dr Elisabetta Groppelli,”

    Genius. Endemicity is written into ALL viruses, dum-dum. It just takes time.

    “Official Covid ‘Narrative Has Crumbled’ (WND)”

    No it hasn’t. Now they have their religion and have met their God (raw power and control) they will never let it go. I’m sure people hold out for Comet Hale-Bopp. Or say, the Rapture. Oh the Madhi. Don’t they?

    Tenet of religion: “There’s no such thing as natural immunity. That’s Science!” And with two years and 5 billion test participants, “MASKS WORK! Masks stopped Covid dead.” Especially in New Jersey, as opposed to Florida and Dakota. We can tell ’cause there’s no Covid around. The proof is in the pudding(heads).

    “Going for a walk miles from home: Not Essential” (maybe)

    And also COMPLETELY SAFE.

    Tenet of religion “Exercise is bad for you and especially fresh air and sunlight. That’s Science!”

    Children playing = “Affront to all things holy and good.” They. Must. Be. Stopped. That 0.00003% death rate isn’t going to triple by itself you know. It’s going to need a lot of help from us parents!

    Oh noes! Whatever will happen?

    If you thought I was kidding above, Kimmel has his sketch on “Anti-vax Barbie” Obviously he believes in this vaccination, so good on him. However, the skit includes “Barbie Laptop, so she can do her own research at home.” That is, to Kimmel and this weird group, “Reading” is a sign of the enemy. “Learning” is the enemy. “Informing” is the enemy. Because, again, according to what beliefs I can distill here, they think any human who reads something, instantly believes it. It is impossible that a human could read two differing accounts and choose between them.

    Or put more simply: “You must DO WHAT YOU’RE TOLD.” Like I do. Unthinking. Unlearned. Unwavering. Unquestioning. and may I add, entirely un-HUMAN obedience to whatever authority I post up today.

    That’s your Kimmel and pals! And Colbert, unfortunately, the Caesar Flickerman of the day.

    ‘Bad bots’ make up nearly two-fifths of all internet traffic

    The report, titled Bot attacks: Top Threats and Trends – Insights into the growing number of automated attacks, also included a breakdown of bad bot traffic by location. It revealed that North America accounts for 67% of bad bot traffic, followed by Europe (22%) and then Asia (7.5%).

    Interestingly, the European bot traffic was more likely to come in from hosting services (VPS) or residential IPs than the North American traffic, most of which originated from public data centres.

    Back in October, CJ Hopkins wrote:
    “The Unvaccinated” are the new official “Untermenschen,” an underclass of subhuman “others” the New Normal masses are being conditioned to hate.

    Along those line, some research was published last year about the psychological deficiencies of The Unvaccinated, with the following generalizations about “vaccine hesitant and resistant persons”:

    more emotionally unstable
    less conscientious
    higher levels of neuroticism
    lower levels of altruism
    higher levels of paranoia
    lower levels of agreeableness
    lower levels of conscientiousness
    lower cognitive reflection
    more self-interested
    more impulsive in their thinking style
    more disagreeable

    In the UK sample, the combined vaccine hesitant and resistant group differed most clearly from the vaccine acceptance group on the following psychological variables: lower levels of trust in health care professionals (d = 0.39), scientists (d = 0.38), and the state (d = 0.16); higher levels of paranoia (d = 0.27) and religious beliefs (d = 0.21); lower levels of altruism (d’s ranged from 0.17 to 0.22); higher levels of social dominance (d = 0.21); lower levels of the personality traits agreeableness (d = 0.22) and conscientiousness (d = 0.17), and higher levels of neuroticism (d = 0.11); higher levels of internal locus of control (d = 0.16) and belief in chance (d = 0.17), and lower levels of beliefs about the role of powerful others (d = 0.19); lower cognitive reflection (d = 0.14); and more negative attitudes towards migrants (d = 0.11)…

    Specifically, COVID-19 vaccine hesitant or resistant persons were distinguished from their vaccine accepting counterparts by being more self-interested, more distrusting of experts and authority figures (i.e. scientists, health care professionals, the state), more likely to hold strong religious beliefs (possibly because these kinds of beliefs are associated with distrust of the scientific worldview) and also conspiratorial and paranoid beliefs (which reflect lack of trust in the intentions of others). They were also more likely to believe that their lives are primarily under their own control, to have a preference for societies that are hierarchically structured and authoritarian, and to be more intolerant of migrants in society (attitudes that have been previously hypothesised to be consistent with, and understandable in the context of, evolved responses to the threat of pathogens)56. They were also more impulsive in their thinking style, and had a personality characterised by being more disagreeable, more emotionally unstable, and less conscientious.

    INSURANCE COMPANIES live in the real world. They can only cope with a certain number of ‘excess deaths’.

    I would think they would be studying research into problems with vaccines in order to exclude as many claims as possible. Unfortunately once vaccinated it can not be reversed so the vaccinated will have to live with the threat with no personal insurance, or possibly even health insurance.

    Notice all Cohen’s d values show small effects. Talk about much ado about nothing.

    Also, previous research showed people who scored high on agreeableness and high on conscientiousness were most likely to turn the voltage all the way up on “learners” in the Milgram experiment.

    This is for Mister Roboto:

    The highest scores for quality of life were observed among habitual cannabis users, followed by occasional users, while both non-users and dysfunctional users presented less favorable scores. Subjective measures of well-being were higher among habitual and occasional users than among non-users, whereas dysfunctional users were the most affected. Poor quality of life, depression or anxiety were more prevalent among dysfunctional users, but non-users of cannabis reported more depression or anxiety symptoms and less quality of life than both occasional and habitual users.

    I could pick this crap apart all day. How did they measure “cognitive function”? Per other “evidence”.

    “Verbal declarative memory was assessed using both immediate word recall and delayed word recall tasks.”

    Knowing full well that level of recall declines as one gets older. No true general mental ability tests were conducted.

    “For semantic verbal fluency, respondents named as many animals as they could in one minute; the final score was based on the number of unique correct responses.”

    Again, processing speed declines with age.

    Also, this bit:

    ” That we were able to replicate known predictors of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy – being female (Detoc et al., 2020, Freeman et al., 2020, Wang et al., 2020), younger (Detoc et al., 2020, Freeman et al., 2020), non-white ethnicity,(Freeman et al., 2020, Robertson et al., 2021, Williams et al., 2021), and having a lower prevalence of physical morbidity(Ruiz and Bell, 2021) – gives us some confidence in our novel results for cognitive function.”

    So wait? They’re all democrats?

    Correlational results are moderate values.

    The data isn’t strong, so have to sound authoritative to fool the masses.

    On NATO, Russia, USA: … look-back to 2017 – what was written and said back then:

    Member states taken in since the late 1990s cannot, of course, be expelled. But NATO expansion could be demilitarized, its forces withdrawn back to Germany, from which they crept to Russia. This may have been possible in the late 1990s or early 2000s, as promised in 1997. Now it is mostly a utopian idea, but one without which the world is in ever graver danger—a world with less and less real security.

    I wonder how the Catholic Church will view all these new ‘suicides’ from the Vax.

    Do you still get to be buried in ‘consecrated’ ground?

    Inquiring minds would love to know.

    Is death by Vax unintentional Euthanasia?

    Could be, we’ll see.

    THE VALUE OF HUMAN LIFE

    Human life is the basis of all goods, and is the necessary source and condition of every human activity and of all society. Most people regard life as something sacred and hold that no one may dispose of it at will, but believers see in life something greater, namely, a gift of God’s love, which they are called upon to preserve and make fruitful. And it is this latter consideration that gives rise to the following consequences:

    No one can make an attempt on the life of an innocent person without opposing God’s love for that person, without violating a fundamental right, and therefore without committing a crime of the utmost gravity.[4]
    Everyone has the duty to lead his or her life in accordance with God’s plan. That life is entrusted to the individual as a good that must bear fruit already here on earth, but that finds its full perfection only in eternal life.
    Intentionally causing one’s own death, or suicide, is therefore equally as wrong as murder; such an action on the part of a person is to be considered as a rejection of God’s sovereignty and loving plan. Furthermore, suicide is also often a refusal of love for self, the denial of a natural instinct to live, a flight from the duties of justice and charity owed to one’s neighbor, to various communities or to the whole of society – although, as is generally recognized, at times there are psychological factors present that can diminish responsibility or even completely remove it. However, one must clearly distinguish suicide from that sacrifice of one’s life whereby for a higher cause, such as God’s glory, the salvation of souls or the service of one’s brethren, a person offers his or her own life or puts it in danger (cf. Jn. 15:14).
