Better get yerself a lawyer son, better get a damned good one!

Liberal Senator from South Australia, Alex Antic, has been a dogged defender of civil rights and rule of law. The governments, state and federal have been denying all Freedom of Information requests to present the often claimed 'medical advice.' All across the country, as cases start to hit the High Court, mandates are being scrapped everywhere. You can follow his work here:

As he says, "If I was a business that had followed in suit based on these health care directions that have come from these bureacrats, I'd be getting myself a lawyer right at the moment because if anyone was stood down based on zero medical advice, there is an extraordinary path ahead." Extraordinary path indeed and it must include all those lying state premiers and their associated enablers.
As the song says:

A Crack in the Western Australian Covid Propaganda Wall

The parochial West Australian newspaper, possibly one of the lowest quality newspapers in the country (mind you, that cannot be saying much), loves Communist party supreme leader, premier Mark McGowan. They just lap up whatever bullshit flows out of his lying mouth. While the rest of the world comes to realise that Covid is over and begin returning to normality, Marky Mark wants to increase restrictions, further limit the last remnants of personal freedom, shit on the constitution, and cut Western Australia off from the rest of the country and the world.

As omicron moves inexoribly through the community, Mark is currently distracted with legal woes. When he first locked down the state in 2020, Queensland mining mogel, Clive Palmer, initiated a High Court challenge against the legality of the states imposing border controls. Under the Commonwealth Constitution (1901), all colonial boundaries became null and Australia became an indissoluble self-governing colony. The Palmer vs West Australia case quickly became personal when the good saviour of the Western Australian people took to slandering Palmer in the media and press conferences. McGowan denied Palmer permission to enter the state claiming Palmer was a health risk. Palmer intended to press the matter in the High Court and actually gained the support of the Federal Government, which for a very short moment was concerned about the states running amouk. Pressure from the states led to that case being withdrawn.

All of these shenanigans was something of a smokescreen. Behind the public brawl, Palmer and the McGowan government were engaged in a dispute of mining rights and iron ore exports. The details are hazy - mainly because I haven't had time to research in detail - but the bottom line was that the McGowan government used their majority in parliament to pass a law that would indemnify the state against any legal claims by Palmer for the losses his company would incur when they shut down his mining lease rights. The whole business stinks of... something, but was portrayed by McGowan and his puppet media as a great deal for West Australians.

So, Clive Palmer sued Mark McGowan for defamation. Defamation laws are particularly onerous in Australia and can be used by the powerful and wealthy to crush criticism. McGowan had publicly characterized Palmer in very unbecoming terms so there was a case to answer. To maximise McGowan's discomfort, Palmer sued him in the Federal Court, New South Wales, requiring him to travel interstate at a time when he was preventing other West Australian's from leaving the state, and forcing him to quarantine himself on his return. With Mother Theresa-like humility McGowan bewailed his being dragged from saving the people of Western Australia from the clutches of omicron.

Being used to the fawning media, McGowan was obviously discomforted being held to account in the dock. McGowan's lawyers had fought desperately to keep the state's medical advice and cabinet discussions out of court, to no avail. No FOI has forced the government to reveal its advice - until now. In South Australia the government there has been exposed as having nothing to show. Nothing. Nada. They made it all up. The Palmer case will expose this for WA and, being in a Federal Court, will be usable for cases around the country. McGowan is going to lose, but don't worry. He's spending tax payer money on his defence as He is the State.

Not that you'd know any of this if you were watching the news in WA or reading our newspapers. The West Australia continues its daily orgy of Covid hysteria....and then, this headling on 15 March 2022:

Most COVID cases in Perth ICU were being treated for other conditions, department head reveals.

One of Perth’s major hospitals has had just one patient in intensive care due to COVID-19-related illness this year, with others suffering major traumas and incidentally testing positive for the virus once admitted.

It is the first indication of how many people in hospital are being treated with COVID-19 – as opposed to for COVID-19 – with the state government refusing to release this data.

Of the 50,000 cases recorded since WA’s Omicron wave began, four people have died in hospital with COVID-19, each suffering from unrelated serious health conditions. None were on a ventilator prior to their death.

Royal Perth Hospital ICU department head Anton Leonard on Monday said the hospital had not yet treated a patient presenting with severe COVID-related lung disease.

This story by senior reporter, Heather McNeill, is extraordinary. Publishing the open and honest facts that this state has had only ONE PATIENT in ICU for Covid this year would have gotten her and Dr Leonard fired from their jobs only a month ago. McGowan, quarantined in his bedroom, must have been champing at the bit to call a press conference and stop this disinformation and ramp up the fear.

McNeill finishes her article with an important footnote:

"WA Health has ignored requests for a copy of the data set used to create its modelling graph which shows the expected peak in cases and hospitalisations. As such, the graph has been recreated in this article using rounded figures. The department also declined to confirm the date of ‘Day 0’ in its modelling. As such, Day 0 in this article’s graph reflects the date the first case of Omicron was detected in the community."

It's only a crack in the great wall of Covid propaganda, but it's a sign.

I have long stated that businesses and companies in Australia could have stopped this BS at the beginning, instead of just rolling along with the government idiot train. Time to get a lawyer. : https://stolzuntermenschen.blogspot.com/2022/03/better-get-yerself-lawyer-son-better.html

Canute and the Outgoing Tide

The story of King Canute holding back the tide is always told incorrectly. The common telling is that King Canute (995-1035AD), the Viking king of England, Denmark and Sweden, in a vainglorius exercise of royal power attempted to hold back the tide. Of course, he failed. However, the real story is the complete inverse of the legend. Canute's courtiers and flatterers, ever eager to laud the great king's power, proclaimed for him the power to command nature, the seas and the skies. Canute may have been a powerful temporal lord, but he recognised the limits of his power. He had his throne set on the beach, commanded the waters to recede and allowed the tide to wash over him.

Our temporal lords, their courtiers and flatterers, have come to believe that they have the power to command nature. They can use the magical power of 'science' can stop the virus, cheat death. Their efforts have proved as ineffectual as the setting of Canute's throne on the beach. The tide is now turning and our lords are exposed, sitting on their thrones with their feet in the mud. They may pretend like their feet are dry and they aren't standing there with their dicks in their hands, but we can all see it. And there will be a reckoning.

This impassioned and articulate speech by Neil Pearson, historian, TV presenter and columnist for GB News, says it all
