The GFC....call it what you want.

I’m not so much defending Trump as I am attacking the collusive and undemocratic push by established media to delegitimise an elected leader’s position.

I don’t know about the Fox News birther thing. If they piled in then they’re no better.

But when the Australian Broadcasting Commissioner starts parroting a conspiracy theory driven by political imperative....that’s when it’s too ugly to contemplate.

Well fair enough then.

But for mine, I find Trump's use of it a weak attempt at a shiny bauble, and also deeply ironic because the last global recession was his country's doing.

And further, he wants to deregulate financial markets even more. They're his own wet market.

the difference between the US virus and the china virus is economic hardship sucks. and economic hardship with a stinking virus thick in the air really sucks

people dont like to get sick, they don't like misery, and they dont want to live amongst a thick air of plague probably even more so than economic hardship

china was kind enough to give us both

the fact the dose they gave us is shrouded in secrecy and corruption just adds to generally downer atmosphere

the fact many people have seen this coming for years, yet we walked into it under dogmmatic blind faith just hurts way down inside, it's the ultimate doh!

Shortenism comes to that conclusion because he heard it somewhere and really wants to believe it. He's a muppet.
Meanwhile the experts, not to mention the mass graves in Brazil, tend to indicate this isn't just a flu.

"Indo agree totally with your previous comments.............I always knew you would come over to the leftard side one day............ feeling there could even be a bromance here."

I know you are probably joking , but not believing in conspiracy theories isn't a left or right thing, just seems like common sense.

Unfortunately the things that shortenism believe and the views he shares is popular among both left and right and judging from what i see on social media quite popular among surfers. (surprise we don't have more shortenism's here)

BTW. I use to actually be very left leaning in my views and for a very long time, i use to vote Green, then Labor my views have only changed in the last few years after i guess just taking more of an interest in certain issues, news, economics, politics etc and i think certain issues have got me reevaluating things.

The big problem is, the LNP is now dominated by corrupt, anti-science, racists. Turnbull was neither A, B or C and that's why he had to get the chop by his colleagues.

Shortenism. You're an absolute clown who cherrypicks research to support a conclusion and ignores the serious questions marks.
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/stephaniemlee/stanford-coronavirus-...
Here you go big fella. Little article about Eran Bendavid, and who funded his research.
You finally think you've found an expert to back up your insane conspiracy theories only to find out, his research wasn't peer-reviewed, was funded by a person who owns an airline, is now subject to a whistleblower complaint, and has been heavily criticised by others in the field. Ouch.
PS Way to ignore the mass graves in Brazil.
PPS. I see the story came from an Eran Bendavid interview with Andrew Bolt. It's a classic example of how News Limited try to give a shit, discredited study some credibility. Why am I not surprised people like Shortenism fall for crap science and even worse journalism.

Hey Shortenism. I'm happy to admit I got that wrong about the Sunshine Coast, but here's the thing: When people get things wrong by being too cautious it's actually a good thing. When people get things wrong about Covid 19 by pretending it's not serious, tens of thousands of people die early. Exhibit A: USA. Exhibit B Brazil.

Yeah Vic, you are about as correct with the Sunny Coast call as the mainstream journalism has been globally on this issue.. It all started with the Imperial College modelling, funded by you know who... yep I get models are always wrong but its not the first time Imperial College put out some questionable predictions. Basically, the whole thing was built on a turd and was always going to be one and leaves fellas like you and me pouring hours into making sense of yep a turd... Death is a part of life and if you really look at the cause of death stats in the USA and Brazil, what part of the pie chart is actually COVID?

Nice one pops.
Any leader with any commonsense would collate a very large number of models, from the most knowledgable experts, and determine a most likely scenario based on current evidence. A commonsense leader would then err on the side of caution because the consequences of underestimating the potency of the virus is much more severe than the costs of overestimating the potency of the virus.
A sensible leader would then constantly listen to the experts and examine how accurate the modelling was, and evaluate more recent research.
Only a complete fucking moron would ignore the modelling and say the virus would "magically go away in spring".

We could all drive under 40km on every road and save over a million lives every year (young ones too) but I fear the economy will get priority.

Oz Borderline Exemptions (Review) [ swellnet crew's covid-19 exclusive ]
Thanx to news hounds that helped sneak the crew in behind the iron curtains.

Intro: Oz borderz were sold as 'Rock Solid' which is code for "Heavily corrupted".
The following stats were randomly collated over 4-6 weeks of peak lockdown.
(To save on space, just ask for dates! Ok! ) Stats do ring true as to the peak period.

Note: (Exempted) Different by o/s / Isolation / Quarantine / Interstate /Transit mode.
Police do not release this information & there are no reports that hint they ever will.

Oz (Flight passengers) inbound (Exempted-6872) + ( Denied-262)
Cruise ships o/s inbound > Govt overrule > No Quarantine > Flights Out...
'International (Sex/Drugs) licenses' were waved thru all state Border blockades.

Oz Flight / Cruise pass > (Quarantine in non approved "Zero Ventilation" *****cells)
Guards + No air led to PTS / Suicide / Miscarriage / Mental breakdowns. (Horrific!)
All Medical staff said it was frightful, stressful & unhealthy & then got sacked.
CEO's + A-Listers + Moguls travelled most, but were exempt on 'medical grounds'.

International Flights Out (Govt are allowed flexi powers to rid o/s Viral Loads)
Govt exempts Corona Cruiseships quarantine > Mobilize 2-7 Flights out at a time.
We all saw Cruises being sent out to sea with viral patients by the dozen...See ya!

Aussie Jet-setters (Outbound)
Personal Business 514 exempt + 277 denied
Pre booked - Calendar 189 exempt + 92 denied
Total Outbound Flights 2,937 exempt + 1065 denied

Interstate Borders ( Note: Mining was exempt > Boosts WA FIFO figures)
Mining towns kicked up a stink + Mining CEO's dodge quarantine (To meet Pollies!)
WA flights inbound - 3000 exempt + 900 (Isolated)

WA (daily transit snap shot) : FIFO 216 / o/s crew 65 / Road 166
WA (Total Borders) 21,000 exempt + 68 denied

SA (o/s flights in) 22 exempt + 1 infection

NT. (Border Blockade/s) 11,000 exempt + 698 denied

Qld (Border Blockade/s) 238,529 exempt + 2848 denied

Border Politics...
15th June - NZ (border bubble) with Oz
Japan + UK have shown interest in Oz & other low cases destinations.

Interstate ACT wish to resume flights with Qld / SA

(Note: Opposition Pollies & News are grilling Leaders to reopen the borders!)

Here are some News Polls asking readers to keep the Borders Closed ...
(OZ : 77%) + WA 88% + Qld 78% + Vic 76% + NSW 70%
Political Polls to keep Border closed ( ALP 83% + Green 81% + LNP 75% )

The Wall campaigners might prefer the simple life & local fare without the fuss!
We do see that Mother Earth & animals are pretty stoked about events.
Social distancing pleased no end the 100'000's of STFAH village idiot dobberz.
Oz also suffered #1 Fines > Alcoholism > DV > Breakdowns > Racism.

tbb can't get outta the house, let alone make a run for the border...crew's call it is!

I know Shortenism, you're so onto this whole scam. I can't believe the lockdown laws in Australia weren't deemed unconstitutional because the government relies on the green constitution not the real one in the red binder. And anyway, all laws made after John Kerr ceased to be GG are invalid because he signed his resignation letter with his right hand when everyone knows he's left handed. They were probably unconstitutional anyway because of the secret amendments to the Magma Carta, but the left handed thing sealed the deal. Anyway, to get around the unconstitutional laws, all you have to do is shout "no consent" three times while holding up the crossed arm symbol. you know the one they use in "Deal or no deal". It's all a massive scam, and don't get me started on Bill Gates and his fucking tracing injections.

I would say thousands of $$ thrown at it if not millions . The cop has been sentenced and still riots going on. Plus too much that is suss -no cpr done at scene / area wasn’t contained as crime scene / Floyd’s autopsy showed fentanyl/methamphetamines/cannabis. And he had heart disease, sickle cell, hypertension and SARS cov . He was a known criminal . Easy target I say . Set up. Used to work with cop . Some say he is still alive . Which also wouldn’t surprise me . Check out this footage at his funeral or “funeral” ..

Have you seen how easily the pall bearers lifted the "gentle giant's" coffin? There was obviously no body in it.
I heard George was paid $6.72 mil and given a house in Hawaii for his role in the whole thing. The crisis actors who played the role of witnesses were very well remunerated too, but they obviously had to sign a confidentiality clause. The downside for them is, their acting careers are on hold unless they do some sort of super hero roles behind a mask. Some obviously had to get tattoos removed too. The truth will come out eventually, probably get uncovered by that Alex Jones bloke.
