If you haven’t gotten it by now... you probably never will. Shutdowns, Afghanistan, masks, fraudulent elections are all part of their strategy.
The nationwide strike is tomorrow in Australia, 8/31.

If you’ve been vaccinated, and the vaccines work - how could you be infected?

I don’t want to be infected by someone using their, what you call, civil liberties. How do I do that? What about mine?

FBI suffers another black eye, admits it hid payments to informant in white supremacist case
The revelations come at a sensitive time for the FBI and Director Christopher Wray, who has insisted widespread problems revealed about the bureau’s conduct in the now-discredited Russia collusion case have been fixed even as new revelations of misconduct come to light.

The FBI, already under fire for its handling of FISA warrants and confidential informants, is enduring more scrutiny as the Justice Department admits agents failed to disclose to a court that they had paid — to the tune of six figures — a white supremacist publisher for years to be an investigative source.
The admission came in a series of court filings this month in the case of Kaleb Cole, a Washington state man accused of being a member of the white supremacist group Atomwaffen and participating in an intimidation campaign against Jewish Americans and minority journalists. Cole has pleaded innocent and awaits trial.
Cole’s lawyers filed a motion to suppress evidence gathered against their client on the grounds that the FBI had failed to disclose in a search warrant application that a publisher of extremist literature had been paid about $144,000 over 16 years to be an informant, including $82,000 for work in the case against Cole. The confidential informant (CI) also had an earlier felony conviction that wasn’t disclosed, court records show.
The filings don’t identify the informant by name but describe him as a publisher who “owns and operates a publishing company that distributes white supremacist writings.”
“The CI began his long career as a professional informant in exchange for consideration regarding his sentence on a federal conviction for possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number and an unregistered silencer,” Cole’s lawyers argued in an Aug. 13 motion.
“The failure to include the information about the CI’s incentives is made more egregious by the fact that the warrant application incriminated Mr. Cole based almost solely on the alleged observations of the CI,” the lawyers added.

A week later, the Justice Department admitted agents had mistakenly omitted the information, but argued the search warrant would have been approved anyway before the informant’s information had been corroborated.
“Although the defense is correct that certain potential impeachment information about the informant was not included in the affidavit, that omission is hardly fatal,” the DOJ said. “The omitted information was limited to the fact that the informant was well compensated by the FBI over a 16-year period, and was convicted of a firearms crime over 15 years ago.”
Funny how no notice is being taken about the Toll truck drivers strike that happened last Friday. Maybe because it’s not because of COVID?
I’m trying to find more info about it. I think it was for only 24 hours.

Toll workers have gone on strike on Friday as scheduled, disrupting supply chains.
Last-minute discussions between Toll management and the Transport Workers Union (TWU) failed to resolve the dispute over outsourcing and job security.
There is expected to be some impact on Toll clients, including supermarkets Woolworths and Coles, as well as Amazon, Bunnings and others.
The strike action against logistics company Toll has gone ahead, after proposed last-minute talks failed to resolve the industrial dispute.
First announced on Monday, the industrial action organised by the Transport Workers Unions (TWU) has seen thousands of Toll workers pull the handbrake for a 24-hour period.
The strike is expected to disrupt supply lines around the country, including for supermarkets Coles and Woolworths, e-commerce giant Amazon, and Wesfarmer brands like Bunnings and Kmart.
The Toll workers are protesting against proposals which the TWU says could outsource as much as half their work to contractors.
“There is no grey area when it comes to job security. Either the jobs are secure Toll jobs or they aren’t,” said Richard Olsen, secretary of the Queensland and New South Wales branches of the TWU and the lead negotiator with Toll.
“Toll’s proposal makes clear that if workers signed onto it, good, permanent jobs would become a thing of the past, to be replaced by a second-grade, insecure workforce. After months of negotiations, Toll knows it must provide job security guarantees to reach an agreement with workers.”
The strikes on Friday mark a culmination of tensions between the two sides, with each making accusations against the other. Toll claimed on Friday morning that the union wasn’t negotiating in good faith and wasn’t interested in a resolution.
“Negotiations are supposed to be two sides coming together to work out their differences. To present what each side wants and then negotiate – actually compromise – until an agreement is reached. Unfortunately, only Toll is making any effort to compromise in these negotiations,” Alan Beacham, president of Toll division Global Express, said in a statement.
He added the multi-billion dollar logistics company wasn’t going to be “bullied” by the unions.
TWU has fired back, accusing the logistics company of spreading “misinformation” and using “scare tactics of standing over workers to discourage them from exercising their industrial right to strike”.
Neither side appears ready to back down in the dispute, with the strike going ahead as planned and TWU national secretary Michael Kaine refusing to rule out another.
Applications for separate strikes against Linfox and subsidiary Bevchain are currently with the Fair Work Commission (FWC), leaving the door open for industry-wide action.
“Transport is in a crisis underpinned by crushing financial pressure on supply chains from wealthy retailers, manufacturers and oil companies at the top,” Kaine said. “This is the Amazon effect, but there are no winners when companies try to play wealthy behemoths like Amazon and Uber at their own game, there are only deaths, injuries and exploitation.
“The solution is to lift standards in transport, not compete in a never-ending race to the bottom which puts companies out of business and kills hundreds more people in truck crashes.”

That’s scary.
Mistaken or intentional?
To quote the infamous Hitlery Rod-ham Clintoon, ‘What difference at this point does it make?’
Not that I think that is the case.
Gee, who knew that being a talk radio host was such an endangered species.
How many is this now?
There is a name for changing the weather.

I saw a dummy Twitter comment yesterday, said Joe’s son was killed in Iraq and that was his warch Joe wears, and that’s why he looked at it.
