Protest

 Now much of the Western World, and particularly the ex-free democracies such as Canada and New Zealand are starting to wake up maybe it's time to reflect.

I'm generally contemptuous of group protests, they are often a bullying way of admitting you have no coherent argument.

For such a "protest" to be effective the "protesters" need to be armed with ropes, pitchforks and/or sharpened metal objects. 

The current "protests" however are serving a much greater purpose, even if not the intended one.

Both here in New Zealand and in Canada we are seeing, thanks to these protests,  the disgusting communist scum elected, mistakenly, to power for what they are - and what they are is beneath contempt.

Gutless dishonest scum intent, in New Zealand at least, on destroying society using racism, apartheid and fear to enable communism to step into the gap.

Luckily for both countries mentioned, these low-life are also completely incompetent.

In New Zealand for instance, the government and stassi call for equipment (tow-trucks etc.)  have been rejected. Rumour has it that even the Army has not returned their call.

There may be, if we act quickly, enough of society left to recover from their ministrations.

Meantime I advise you to wax your ropes, oil your pitchforks and sharpen your metal objects for when your country needs you.

Covid_19 Vaccine booster

 The PM had a much publicised booster shot last week.

Now it's hiding self isolating because it was near a possible Covid carrier.

I was under the impression that the vaccine was supposed to ensure people could return to their normal lives - or is it simply to bolster the profit margin at Pfizer?

Peanut cooking recipe

Cooked, spiced Peanuts

Total cooking time 39 minutes

Total preparation including cooking approx 45 minutes

Cooked in 18L air fryer but works in larger unit (I've also used 30L air roaster successfully) and probably (I can see no reason it won't) in smaller unit.

500gm peanuts preferably skin on but blanched works.

1 Tbs olive oil for blanched peanuts, 1/2 Tbs olive oil for skin on.

Mix: 1 Tbs Salt

1Tbs powdered Chippotle

1tsp Cumin

1tsp Coriander

1tsp mustard seeds - crushed (optional)

1tsp Celery Seeds - crushed

Mix should do 3 or 4 lots of peanuts if kept in small seal-able container.

Heat peanuts 12 minutes, 145C I use ring-type sponge dish.

Add Olive oil, stir thoroughly to coat peanuts, return to cooking dish and heat again for 12 minutes at 145C.

Add mix to taste (I like about 1/3rd of mix per batch) making sure you spread over all peanuts by stirring nuts while adding.

Heat 9 minutes at 145C, stir thoroughly and heat for 6 minutes again at 145C.

Allow to rest for 15 minutes.

Serve or store - will keep for a week or so in sealed container unless I get at them first.

I eat a small ramekin (about 2 Tbs) daily and they certainly keep me regular.

Trying To Fail?

 The Headline:

National: Government should take its own stand against Russia

For what?

Russia appears guilty of moving it's own troops within it's own country, helping, militarily, an ally who asked for that help and then, when things were settled, buggering off home again and having a rather popular (within Russia) leader.

 Russia is also attempting to persuade Ukraine that it's joining NATO would be a mistake and probably carry some rather serious consequences for the area (and indeed, the world).

International wanna-be warmongers, notably deeply unpopular within their own countries, are sabre rattling.

It is rather obvious the reason for this sabre-rattling is nothing to do with Russia and everything to do with internal problems within (particularly) the USA and Britain. 

Now Gerry Brownlee, ex-MP for one of the safest blue seats in New Zealand until a brain-dead communist sheila defeated him is, on behalf of his party, demanding New Zealand "sanction" Russia.

New Zealand has serious problems with the most corrupt Government in it's history, has very serious inflation and a massive economic problem because that Government is intent on destroying any once-viable industry in the country as well as the Government introduction of apartheid to New Zealand but National, in the form of Gerry Brownlee, are worried about bloody Russia.

Given also the recent elevation of a schoolteacher-like tosser to leadership are National deliberately trying to avoid election to the treasury benches?

Coincidence ....

.... or a potentially lost pay packet?

With the UK and the sensible part of the USA removing mask requirements the manufacturers have lost a large part of their market.

At exactly this time the most corrupt government New Zealand has ever seen, a publicity-hungry Otago schoolteacher and the mask manufacturers are urging an increase in mask usage.

Coincidence?

Query

 I notice the dictatorship pushing even harder the untested non-vaccine.

Every report from real doctors (i.e. non-experts) state that the vaccine is unnecessary for the very mild Omicron and, if administered, doesn't work. 

Does someone miss out on their bonus if the public wake up to the uselessness and probable danger of this "vaccine" and refuse to get endless "boosters"?

RIP Meatloaf

 Meatloaf has died.

He was 74.

I first saw Meatloaf (I had previously heard and enjoyed his music) in the Rocky Horror Picture Show movie.

That turned me into a fan.

Meatloaf's voice had gone, production had finished and he had retired (many, many times).

He had lived life as a hard man, abused royalty and generally made watchers smile.

His legacy will be do exactly that, to make people smile when they remember him, whether singing, acting or acting up.

RIP Meatloaf.
