"MY" God?
Is yours different?
Is there more than one God in your view?

The Christian God is a triad of Gods, the one the three and the perfect fifth.

Our forefathers combined the three to form a harmonious chord, to conform to our Jewish past, and its insistence on the “non-other” than One God.

All true. And it will happen again because Australians mainly keep voting Labor or Coalition - both of whom behaved very badly in regard to human rights and the economy. The Morrison federal government came up with the ridiculous federal "cabinet" to take the heat off themselves, and the states behaved more like dictators than people elected to serve. Since then, the political class has done its utmost to block a real enquiry into their appalling behaviour. Some of them should have been sent to trial over their behaviour.

Don't moan about it. Do something about it at the coming election. Don't waste your vote on people you know are scumbags. How bad do the bastards have to get before you wake up!

mhaze,

You're just rewriting history and adding a dose of outrage and emotional manipulation. Yes, governments made mistakes, but acting like it was some grand scheme instead of people trying to manage a crisis with limited info is dishonest.

First off, you omitted the bit about how police used rubber bullets and pepper balls on protesters in Melbourne, which they do in other situations too. And yeah, elderly people dying alone was heartbreaking, but the alternative was worse. Covid ripped through aged care homes in places that didn’t lock down, killing thousands. The goal was to protect them, not abandon them.

Lockdowns did slow the spread. You can argue about their long-term effects, but saying they didn’t work at all? That’s just false. And vaccines? Nobody “lied” about them. Early on, they were great at stopping infection with the original strain. Then new variants came along, and their effectiveness against infection dropped - but they still massively reduced severe illness and death. That’s not deception - it's just how evolving science works.

Take masks, for example. Early on, the messaging was a mess, but the reason they didn’t push them at first was because hospitals were desperate for supplies. Once the stock levels increased, they changed their advice based on new information. That’s not lying - that’s just responding to the situation as it evolved.

And Your claim that “even the New York Times admits they lied about Covid origins” is a total fabrication. The lab leak theory was dismissed early on because there wasn’t strong evidence for it. Some agencies now say it’s plausible, but it’s still not proven. That’s not a cover-up - it’s just how science investigates things.

I get that people are frustrated with how things played out, but twisting the past into some doomsday narrative doesn’t help. Mistakes were made, but acting like the whole Covid response was a scam? That’s just rewriting history.

Dear John,

You said:

«Once the stock levels increased, they changed their advice based on new information. That’s not lying - that’s just responding to the situation as it evolved.»

I have no issue with the contents of these messages, only with you (and government) falsely labelling them as "advice".

An advice is, by definition, for the benefit of the one receiving it.
Wearing a mask was a good idea both before and after - the virus hasn't changed,
only they initially did not have enough masks,
so they told people not to wear them:
not for the benefit of the people, but for the benefit of their own systems.
The only deception there was, then, in masquerading their orders/instructions as "advice".

Dear Dan,

«The Christian God is a triad of Gods, the one the three and the perfect fifth.

Our forefathers combined the three to form a harmonious chord, to conform to our Jewish past, and its insistence on the “non-other” than One God.»

So your forefathers wanted to be nice to the Jews, but deep inside they (and yourself, I presume) kept believing in three gods.

Then tell me please, who coordinates between these three? suppose these three gods fail to agree, suppose they have an argument, then who arbitrates between them? a fourth god perhaps? the splendid seventh (yes I can actually hear inside that unresolved sound)?
