Black shepherd I agree with you that we shouldn't jump the gun on assuming there is a cover up, I'd call it more a push to the side. There is a danger of falling into the trap of counter intelligence.
But when you say it comes across as paranoid for delving too much into it, well yes in general but with the treaty, I would agree with that if the last two years didn't happen. But they did and I can clearly remember the reality we were living in I wouldn't have imagined. Bands and gigs lined up evaporated, getting grilled from guards when trying to walk my dog out the countryside, being ordered out of shops for not wearing a mask despite exemption and losing friends for my views on the whole situation.
So when the WHO are talking about "strengthening" pandemic response and we just lived through the initial response, I dunno about you but Ill be taking that very seriously. I've had enough confrontation in the last two years to last me a lifetime, I don't want anymore.

this wasn't reported on the news needless to say ,in keeping with the total media blackout on the subject as a whole.
Not to worry though, its for our own good, shut up, nothing to see here, move along now, here's the latest on the Depp v Heard trial.

I guess "total media blackout on the subject as a whole", besides being false, means something where you come from that makes it not a suggestion of a conspiracy or a cover-up. I'm just saying, cool the beans; just 'cos it's not on Six One news, don't mean shit, no reason to be going paraphrasing poor dead Bill Hicks.

Fuck ya!! ,sickened.
to be fair to ya the way I worded that does sound like I was talking about an all out cover-up, fair cop, but I was only referring to RTE news. It was a poor choice of words on my part.
All I'm saying is that I would be very wary of giving the WHO any more power than they already have, I don't trust that their aims are what they say they are and the way they are funded coupled with their association with the UN  makes me very uncomfortable.

That's pretty much where I'm at with the WHO. Wouldn't trust them as far I'd throw them but equally never thought about them before the carry on of the last couple of years. Now I've looked at their buzz though.

Einstein's thoughts on socialism make interesting food for thought.

Leave the hippies at it in their allotments but I think lads could do with keeping this in mind before yarping on about pesticides etc. Fuckin' hell.

You know when you are driving and a pedestrian does something to annoy you- HEY FUCKHEAD, WATCH IT! I'M DRIVING HERE!

Then you get out of your car and are walking into the shops when a driver does something to annoy you- WATCH IT, CUNT! ARE YOU TRYING TO RUN ME OVER OR WHAT???

Zero shame 8)

It was certainly an inventive one! Pity he can't even go on the main forum though

Jesus christ. Shit pit is right.


Forgot he was horsed off. That explains why it's been fairly normal on here.

Thought it was just General Discussion he was blocked out of.

No apparently it's everywhere. Pity mugz never got a shit pit..
