AN AUSTRALIAN'S LAMENT

— Critical Thinking 101(Expert of Expert Evaluation) (@critica18495985) August 31, 2021

"And then, later, how we burned when they hauled our family and friends to the covid internment camps (for "everybody's safety" -- that's what they always tell you), and we realized that there was never going to be any such thing as a return to 'normal', that the conditions engendered by the pandemic were permanent, and then later, thinking, what would things have been like, if every yellow-vested masked goon, when he went out to enforce the lockdowns, masking, and social distancing edicts, had been uncertain about whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if during periods of extreme lockdowns, when they forced us to stay indoors on pain of arrest, if we just said, "oh, bollocks to this, mate, we're going outside and have a picnic", and families had not simply acquiesced when the police showed up, but had understood, in the very core of their beings, that without their liberty they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers or whatever else they could bring with them to the picnic, perhaps hiding them under blankets and tablecloths until they were needed, and they brought bows with flaming arrows and practiced shooting the police drones out of the sky? What if every time the mask police showed up to make an arrest, they were quickly and speedily beset upon, not by people filming them with their smart phones, but with angry citizens armed with clubs, axes, and other improvised weapons? Law enforcement would have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and notwithstanding all of Victoria and Melbourne's tyranny, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if..., we keep telling ourselves. But the truth of the matter is: we Australians didn't love freedom enough. We didn't understand that no people or nation in the history of the entire human race, once they've voluntarily surrendered their liberty, ever got it back except by force of arms and the spilling of blood. In short, we purely and simply deserved everything that happened to us."

For those of youse who don't know, the lament is my reworking of a famous Solzhenitsyn quote. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw that video.

Update: I tend to view Australians, descendants as they are of convicts and the riff-raff of England, as basically Americans who talk funny. Well, according to this City Journal article that JJ linked to yesterday, that is a mistake. The video is kind of an outlier and the majority of Australians don't seem to have a problem with the increasingly draconian measures that have been imposed on them over these past few months.

Which is actually kind of depressing.

"Weird. The guy in the middle looks
like Doc Brown"

This. Is CNN:

I'm old enough to remember when Jimmy Carter sat on his hands while Nicaragua fell to commie thugs, and then was all surprised when they started acting like commie thugs, i.e. killing people and destroying the economy. The clueless naivete in this tweet makes Carter look like Henry Kissinger.

AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List

Please submit any prayer requests to “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com.

Prayer Requests:
8/2 – She Hobbit and her young children need prayers on the passing of her husband, Kate Winslet’s Boobs. He succumbed to a lengthy struggle with kidney cancer over the weekend.
8/11 – Grannysaurus Rex requests prayers for her sister-in-law’s father, who has gone into hospice for lung cancer. Please pray for a peaceful passing and God’s grace and comfort for his family, friends, and medical staff.
8/16 – Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) asks for prayers for his mother, who is undergoing a (hopefully minor) surgery next week.
8/16 – Joe Mama sends his thanks for all the prayers. He is on the mend; his blood clots are slowly dissolving.
8/20 – Pooky’s Girl sends thanks that she has received preliminary approval for the VA Caregiver Program, so she can cut back her hours at work while she takes care of Pooky full-time. They have lots of appointments in the next month as different specialists try to tackle his mental and hormonal problems, so prayers would be appreciated as they try to find viable solutions.
8/25 – Eeyore mood requests prayers for a friend’s grandson, whose child was murdered by the child’s mother’s boyfriend.
8/30 – Prayers are requested for strength and healing for Pug Mahon’s family, at the passing of his father Keith.

For Healing:
7/26 – Polliwog requests prayers for her sister and dad. Her sister is having back surgery Wednesday (7/27). It should be an out-patient procedure. Prayers for a successful surgery and quick healing/recovery are welcome. Her Dad has tested positive for Covid. He mostly just feels really tired, but the concern is that if he caught it even when vaccinated that her grandparents could get it too, and they’re in their 90s. Prayers for Dad’s complete recovery and protection for the others in the house would be much appreciated.
8/2 Update – Her sister’s surgery went well, and she had immediate relief from the constant burning pain in her legs. Her recovery seems to be steady and she’s working hard on the physical therapy so she can get back to work. Also, her dad has recovered from Covid, and her grandfather may have caught it too (no test done), but seems to be recovering pretty well even though he’s in his late 90s and has much reduced lung function. Thanks for everyone’s prayers.
7/28 – BignJames asks for prayers for his big brother BignSteve, who has pancreatic cancer. A course of chemo went well and he’s scheduled for a “Whipple Procedure” on 8/12. Any and all prayers are sincerely appreciated.
8/4 – IllTemperedCur requests prayers for his mom’s husband, Jan. He is going through chemo right now for stage 4 lung cancer. They are keeping him as cheerful as possible, but any prayers from the Horde would be appreciated.
8/10 – Katya, the designated driver, sends an update on her cancer treatments and continuing care. She is struggling with lymphedema now. It’s getting very painful, and her arm is beginning to swell. It’s causing more pain than any other aspect of the cancer. Please pray for relief.
8/21 – Tonypete asks for prayers for a previous work pal, Ryan. Ryan suffered a massive toke on 8/12 and has been in the ICU since then. He is in pretty bad shape but is fighting hard to hold on. He is a single parent of two young kids, and only 43 years old.
8/22 – Hrothgar asks for prayers for Emma, a 16-year-old girl who apparently had a stroke. Her condition is still being evaluated, and she has been medevaced to the Children’s Hospital in Baltimore.

For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com.

Romans 8:26-27:
[26] In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. [27] And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her.

Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after five weeks or so unless we receive an update.

Monday Who Dis: Rob Lowe spent most of the 1980s being wild and crazy but supposedly Mike Myers helped him settle down and get him back on track during the 90s. Michelle Trachtenberg was a child actress who matured into an adult actress, and in 2013, she and Lowe were both in the movie adaptation of Bill O'Reilly's bestseller Killing Kennedy. Lowe played JFK and Ms. Trachtenburg played Marina Oswald.

28 Hawaiian pizza is a code phrase for "bad pizza." And that's odd, because pizza is almost impossible to fuck up so badly that it's genuinely awful. Hawaiian pizza sits off at the far edge of the probability curve, where "impossible" becomes an interesting consideration.

Almost certainly. Even Canada is messed up. I do think it boils down to the founding history. They were given "independence." We took independence. And that is instilled in us. And it has taken decades of the left trying to erase it and make us more like Canada and Australia that there has really been much of a dent made in it.

81 The announcement of a Covid camp being built in Australia a few days ago brought many "it's about time" comments from Aussies on Twitter. Granted it was Twitter, but some comments fell just short of, " I wish I had Covid so I could go." There were some comments asking about trains, showers and ovens, but they were outliers and mostly fell on deaf ears.

Posted by: garrett at September 01, 2021 10:27 AM (lnUcV)

I used to make a dessert pizza out of a big fresh baked white chocolate macadamia nut pan cookie, whip cream/vanilla icecream, and berries. When my daughter was younger she could still help make it after the cookie was baked. Everybody liked it.

84 I will never, ever understand how people cannot cherish liberty and freedom, and fight to the death to preserve that right from G*d to live freely. How so many would rather be coddled by what they believe to be a beneficent government. The gov't is not beneficent by nature. That's why the founders wrote specifically to restrain it.

There are also various "news" outlets on the sides, too.

But suppose this is an accurate depiction of the way things are. That would mean that Biden is throwing his own side (the military) under the bus and the IC is throwing HIM under the bus (Ghani phone call leak).

104 You can just about make the case for hard lockdowns for relatively insular island nations (I mean, if you ignore civil liberties, economics, and cost-benefit analysis), but NZ and Australia have a non-zero chance of entirely getting their pandemic response harmonics wrong since they don't make/ develop their own vaccines.

It could easily (with a little bad luck) go like this for them: lockdown hard wait for vaccine, roll out vaccine, begin opening just in time for vaccine avoiding variants, lockdown hard wait for new vaccine, roll out new vaccine, begin opening just in time for next vaccine avoiding variants, etc.

And I think the patriotism of most of the left-behind is questionable -- sure they love their home NOW. Six months after arriving back safely, back to trash-talking America and lefty voting.

160 51 Vlad really was the Hero, the more and more I read about him, fighting off the Turks.
=====
Vlad really was the hero, fighting the Turks who practiced "low intensity warfare" when the Balkans princes didn't submit to them, and occasionally launching Tolkien-sized armies to increase their territory. The peasants (who always got the worst of it) were pleased to have a ruler who walked the talk. The peasants also appreciated his arbitrary and stern form of justice (break the law, become a kebab) because it was applied equally without bias. And he also took the arrogant German burghers and clergy down a peg or too, which to the Slavic mind is always a plus.

Posted by: Caesar North of the Rubicon

I think Ayatollah Khomeini was in exile in Najaf, Iraq for years, living in the same place as Ayatollah Sistani, who you may recall from our Iraqi occupation days.
At some point, the Shah pressured Iraq (Saddam Hussein's government) to get Khomeini to leave, because he was trying to stir up trouble in Iran. And, Khomeini left for Paris for a year or two, during which time the "students" uprising threw out the Shah (and Carter wanted him to leave). After the Shah left, then the Revolutionaries invited Khomeini back to Iran. And he then had a big gripe with Iraq, leading to the Iran-Iraq War. And they all lived happily ever after.

That's not a minor detail; they're still the Queen's subjects. Australia was a cradle to grave nanny state before COVID hit.

Ahem. Well, you see, we invested in a lot of infrastructure to store those vaccines. Temperature issues. And we need to move what's in the storage out before we can put new in, or we waste the product, and not incidentally a lot of profit. Which is totally avoidable by mandating a nother round of shots. Once we get everyone dosed up again, there will still be a need for the "new"version, which we will then roll out (probably 6 months behind the latest mutation), but since the consumer isn't paying for it, but the public is, nobody really cares if it works, just that they FEEL safer with it. Its all about the feels really. Fear sells.

One of the most infuriating millenial-specific things I have to deal with on a regular basis is this stupid concept of "the consensus", as if this has any fucking thing to do with what is actually true, advisable, or feasible.

A dozen years later we had to use military force remove El Presidente Pina (Post topical!) who was taking narcotrafficante graft and threatening to extort ship traffic passing through said canal.

257 We aren't going to get a "new" vaccine that will stop the delta variant because by the time they come up with one, we will be on the Omega variant.

Delta is fading because the original vax works on it. That's why they've started making up variants out of whole cloth, like "Covid-22".
==
efficacy has declined to 30-40%. Which is pretty leaky. It declines over time because it is specific to the S protein that mutates most quickly of the proteins in play. Israel published study two days ago, you are like 24 or 27 times more likely to get a symptomatic re infection after fully vaxed than if you had suffered covid infection naturally and recovered. See also large Cleveland Clinic study of their employees from about 2 months ago. Showing their workers who got it, and recovered without vac, NONE of them had gotten reinfected in over a year.

So, there's pretty strong evidence that if you are not at risk because of age or underlying health issue, you are more likely to be better off WITHOUT the vax than with it.

You know there is also a political and misanthropic bent to this ridiculous distinction. Not scientific although they hide behind that. But when humans refer to animals we are simply NEVER talking about humans. This is obvious shit that 3 year olds learn.

Sure they do. They're allies. They have the same goal, the total destruction of Western Civilization. The difference is that the mohammedans have a plan for what comes afterwards. The commie cocksuckers don't care about what comes afterwards, as long as they get to personally shoot a few kneeling Kulaks in the back of the neck.

318 well thanks for clearing that up. There's been some disagreement here about the presence of aborted baby cells in the shots.
==
the charlotte lozier institute has a breakdown of the various vaxs and to what degree they use fetal cells. It can be a matter of degree for some people. Sometimes the fetal cells are used in testing rather than in the actual product itself. Personally, i don't want to have anything to do with anything that would give somebody a basis to say, well its okay to use fetal cells because look how it saved civilization from Covid!!. Its a murder, a theft of body parts, a commoditization of those body parts and ongoing crime, and if you are catholic, the most abhorrent murder of all because the babe is unbaptized and therefore denied the beautific vision (which nobody this side of the grave knows for sure what that may mean, except to theorize some type of 'limbo').

If they can do that, murder, sell the body parts, and treat as their own private property the genetic material of an unborn baby, what Fcuking chance do you have, the minute you are of no further utility or your utility as feedstock is greater than your utility as a taxpayer.

The "consensus model" is the result of our school tax dollars in action. It's collectivist thought pattern at the Socialist "democratic" level. The Zoomers (who are college-age now) have the potential to assert their individuality now at a decisive level, before it's crushed out of them. So far though many of them that I know are not sheeple or Antifa are keeping their heads down.

387 Per Wiki:

The monarchy of Australia refers to the institution in which a person serves as Australia's sovereign and head of state, on a hereditary basis. The Australian monarchy is a constitutional monarchy, modelled on the Westminster system of parliamentary government, while incorporating features unique to the Constitution of Australia.

The present monarch is Elizabeth II, styled Queen of Australia, who has reigned since 6 February 1952.

What if they really are a bunch of pussies. Overwhelming majority of Aussies support this.

Hard for us to relate to.

Also I didn't say good faith I said better faith. Everything single thing our Government does is to hurt us personally. Every single fucking thing.

Australia? It's either lamb, seafood, or it's got a fried egg on it.

Back in the '70s and '80s the line about Australia was "It's like the US used to be thirty years ago". But their population is even more urban-centric than ours, and since then it's been perhaps even more afflicted by the bien-pensant thought police than we have.

Oh, the other line was "it has more things that will kill you than anywhere else on Earth".

403 Local news is absoluteness giddy about a 13 yo youth that has died of covid. Not many details but supposedly was healthy with no comorbidity and died at home (which is a little suspicious.) At last, after 1.5 years they have have a youth death to wave around and prove we need more restrictions. I am assured the hospitals and morgues are filled with similar cases but oddly they just keep bringing up this one case.

406 Yeah, as an Australian, I'm so f*cking disappointed in my fellow citizens. Even some of my friends, who I previously had a lot of respect for, have turned out to be sheep. I will offer a minor defense on their behalf though; the media here is absolute shit (with the notable exception of Sky News). I know the American media is garbage, but we have a lot fewer options here, and most Australians still haven't caught on to the fact that they are being fed crap. I couldn't count the number of conversations I've had with people who repeat nonsense they've heard on the news and look at me like I'm a conspiracy theorist when I contradict them with reality.

It seems to me most people are still chasing the dragon of zero Covid that Oz achieved for a while there (and the associated normality), and are willing to turn a blind eye to all the abuses of freedom our premiers have been all too eager to enact. However, it does feel like there's been a bit of a change in attitude here in the last week. Some polls have shifted significantly as the various governments have slowly been pissing off more and more people who previously had been unaffected (suddenly they're paying attention).

Posted by: Cosmic Puppet at September 01, 2021 11:48 AM (9XBgF)

407 Australians and Kiwis are just louder more affable liberals.

They caved without much outcry when they demanded they give up their guns. Not all guns were banned but still the precedent was made. Kiwis did the same.

I'm surprised by what they've put up with in Aussie land but not all that much. I won't have as much respect for them as I once did.

New Zealanders have always been outward leftists/liberals whereas the Aussies did see the necessity to fight those who would've captured their country and felt some loyalty to America for our help in WWII so they have helped in other tiffs around the world.
But that attitude is no more.

412 I counted a full dozen police called in to apprehend a felonious mask insurrectionist. Is this their new policy pour encourager les autres? They must have been quite humiliated during the lockdown protests last week, to retaliate against the least intimidating among the Aussie population -- dads in the park with their two year old daughters and women with disabilities.

Good God.

This is what happens America, when you give up your guns... Sad they don't even fight back about this. If those pigs knew they might not come home that night after their fellow pigs got a knee broken, an arm crushed, a hand lost, or a head bashed in, they might actually stop this bullshit.
