When Does Conviction Become Misconduct?My story of professional loss, tested values and personal transformationMy name is Kathryn Pick. I spent more than 30 years in education — as a teacher, SENCO, a Kahui Ako deputy principal serving over 3,000 students, and a principal for 12 years, including service on Ministry of Education panels. In 2023 I told part of my story under the pseudonym Principal X in A Day I Will Never Forget.In 2021 I was terminated from the principal’s role I loved, after I could not comply with the vaccine mandate on medical advice. During a Covid outbreak that Christmas, some of my school families were struggling in quarantine. With their full consent, I collected their Covid test-result information and shared it privately with a lawyer, seeking a second medical opinion, never sourced from any school database, despite what my board and the Teaching council later alleged.After a complaint from the doctor who had reviewed the results, my board reported me to the Teaching Council and the Privacy Commissioner without ever asking for my account. An independent investigation later found no evidence of any data breach. Yet the investigation continued for four and a half years.The Teaching Tribunal’s own Minute of 11 February 2026 acknowledged it was unclear what I knew about how the information I had provided to the lawyer might ultimately be used — the very question central to the finding of serious misconduct against me. Rather than resolving that uncertainty on the evidence available, the Tribunal drew an adverse inference from my lawful decision not to attend a further hearing for cross-examination, and concluded I had possessed the knowledge and intent it had previously acknowledged was unclear.In June 2026, I was struck off the teaching profession after more than 30 years. There was no finding that I had put any child at risk. Yet cancellation is the same maximum penalty available to the Tribunal in cases involving the sexual abuse of children.I have also been ordered to pay $45,500 in costs, on top of the $40,000 I had already spent defending myself — and, unemployed, I am unable to pay them.I don’t believe I’m above accountability but context, intent and proportionality matter.Support My GiveSendGo FundraiserIf you are in a position to help me meet the financial consequences of this four-and-a-half-year journey, you can donate here.Dear Subscribers (both paid and free),Cafe Locked Out started life as ‘Cafe Locked Down’ in Melbourne, right in the middle of the Covid years.Six years on, we’re still here — and we’re now reaching between five and six million people a month.

Courage is a choice. One Barry Young faced as he collated the data on the vaccine roll out and the deaths of New Zealanders.Barry YoungIf he’d just stayed silent, we would never have heard of this data analyst, but instead he initially tried to warn the politicians , and when they didn’t know he approached Liz Gunn.Liz could see immediately that Barry’s data was powerful enough to destroy the MRNA ‘safe and effective’ narrative.This was when Dr Paul Oosterhuis became involved and then others.And then the following night, this happened live on air. . . Waiting for ReinerWhile waiting for Reiner Fullmich to call us from his jail cell, live on air I jokingly told Troy Anthony that he should write a song call ‘Waiting for Reiner’. . .minutes before the end of the show, Troy sent me this.Troy’s Poetry, Music Suno.Ai is a powerful weapon for us too.The Prison screwed up the call. Reiner had to postpone.MBut despite the bombshell the narrative continued and now we are about to vaccinate penguins. Currently Barry, after 1000 days, is still awaiting his moment in court and this is what we are going to hear about tonight. How is he feeling? What are the courts doing? But the real reason to watch is that true heroes are rare, and that is what Barry Young is.Dear Subscribers (both paid and free),Cafe Locked Out started life as Cafe Locked Down in Melbourne, right in the middle of the Covid years.Six years on, we’re still here — and we’re now reaching between five and six million people a month.

George Kesic is an Australian author, trainer, and community figure based in Sydney, best known as the author of The Chemist Whisperer (Flow Publishing, 2025).During the COVID-19 pandemic, Kesic visited 238 pharmacies across Sydney. Through calm, respectful conversations he explored the ethical pressures, internal conflicts, and human struggles pharmacists faced behind the counter. His memoir recounts these encounters as a personal story of conscience, moral courage, and integrity under institutional and social pressure. It is presented as a human account rather than medical advice or a political manifesto, highlighting quiet strength and unexpected humanity.georgekesic.comKesic previously owned a gym and has long worked in fitness, martial arts, and personal development. He founded and leads Flow Capability Training (a practical self-defense system emphasizing natural movement and real-world scenarios), offers pickleball coaching, and provides health therapies including infrared light.

We drove to Toowoomba to interview Raelene after she'd just finished a night shift. What I wanted her to do was share everything she wanted to share. The interview is in parts because I (Michael) found it too difficult to do it in the one take. This could be the the hardest interview I have done, so I can't even start to conceive what Raelene is feeling.

Like scores of humans, I often get an idea for a song, lyrics only, maybe a tune in my head, but I just lack the skills to play instruments. In the past I have dabbled but it’s not in me. That said, words are.A powerful song perfect to make love tooSo one night I wrote these lyrics in one go, perhaps it took as long as it took to type them.And I liked it.Now if I had to approach a musician, who are very hard to find, it would take ages to get it together, and then if we liked the result and didn’t creatively clash, we would have to raise at least seven to ten thousand dollars to do a professional recording of it.AI put music to my lyrics moments after I’d written them and in minutes I had this studio-quality song. Cost perhaps not even twenty cents.Then lately I’ve been exploring Grok Imagine. Now GI can provide six-second to fifteen-second video clips. So it made me think how I could get all these clips together in a way that they would look united.This is my first attempt. I wanted to keep the visual simple, and yet beautiful, and since it can’t synchronize to music, I just had to tell it to make the AI women dance faster, bolder, freer and even have her dance more seductively.All up it took two hours, though most of that was processing time.Then I used CapCut to stitch it all together.But if I had to hire a studio, and a camera team plus a dancer, we could easily blow one hundred thousand dollars with little chance of making that money back.And this is my point. AI is here, and saying you don’t want to use it, which you are anyway, it’s everywhere, is like a caveman saying I prefer eating my dinosaur raw.This song is just for fun, a creative break from the struggles, but the other beauty of this process is we can produce protest songs that are time-relevant for next to nothing.I, now, am embracing it, for creatively it allows me to explore possibilities that before were beyond me.The only thing I cling to is the words. I won’t let AI write my words for me, even though I know it could probably do a far better job.But this is just me.We are in a time of great change with two futures open to us, one that leads to the hyper-surveilled tyranny, or another one that we may have to create.But we’ve done that before, throughout history, the only difference is now we have a new tool, AI. A tool that might evolve to become the end of us, or as Elon believes, will offer us all the gift of wings.The other benefit is that we don’t post our music on Spotify anymore because there is no point. The only people making money on Spotify are the owners. So the only place to find our songs is on our website, where we sell them for five dollars each, and from now on, if we make one, that will include the video clip.Cafe Locked Out and Kel and I are on no government benefits. We live frugally and survive on those people who wish to support our ongoing work which we are passionately committed to.Mary Magdalen available here Therefore these songs, our songs, are used for fundraising.Michael This is a public episode.

John Shipton is an Australian architect and anti-war activist, best known as the biological father of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Born around 1944, he met Christine Hawkins at a Vietnam War rally in 1970. Their relationship ended before or shortly after Julian’s birth in 1971; Shipton had little contact with his son until 1996, when Assange was about 25. He later raised son Gabriel Shipton in Sydney and has a daughter. Shipton has described himself as having little early inclination toward family life. Professionally he works as an architect (largely self-taught after briefly studying the subject) and has long been involved in anti-war causes.en.wikipedia.orgShipton reconnected with Assange in the mid-1990s and became involved with WikiLeaks; Assange registered the site’s domain using his father’s name. He co-founded Australia’s short-lived WikiLeaks Party and later dedicated years to campaigning for his son’s freedom, traveling internationally, speaking at events, and appearing in the documentary Ithaka (produced by Gabriel). After Assange’s 2024 release following a plea deal, Shipton expressed lasting relief and a wish for ordinary family life. His activism has drawn both support and criticism, including for certain political associations. This is a public episode.

Dr. Roger Hodkinson is a Canadian pathologist based in Edmonton, Alberta.He received his medical degrees (M.A., M.B., B.Chir.) from Cambridge University in the UK, where he was a scholar at Corpus Christi College. After time in general practice in the UK and Canada, he completed a pathology residency at the University of British Columbia and became a Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (FRCPC)-certified general pathologist in 1976. He is also a Fellow of the College of American Pathologists (FCAP).His career has included roles as a staff pathologist (including at Misericordia Hospital and the Medical Examiner’s Office in Edmonton), assistant clinical professor in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Alberta, president of the Alberta Society of Laboratory Physicians, and past chair of the Royal College’s specialty examination committee in pathology (not the overall chairman of the Royal College itself, a point that has been publicly clarified). He has experience as CEO of diagnostic laboratories in Canada and the US and has been recognized by Alberta courts as an expert in pathology. He is the founder, CEO, and Medical Director of Malpractice Check in Edmonton, where he has overseen tens of thousands of medical negligence and personal injury cases.Hodkinson gained significant public attention during the COVID-19 pandemic for outspoken criticism of public health measures. In a widely circulated 2020 appearance at an Edmonton city council meeting and in subsequent statements, he described COVID-19 as comparable to a bad flu or a “hoax,” questioned the value of masks, social distancing, and vaccines, and criticized public health officials. These views attracted a following among critics of pandemic policies but were rejected by mainstream medical bodies, including the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.When Next We Meet by Kelli Stevenson In 2024–2025, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) pursued disciplinary action. Hodkinson admitted to professional misconduct for statements outside the scope of a pathologist that were inconsistent with accepted public health guidelines and for breaches of the code of ethics related to criticism of colleagues. The sanction included a caution, a required course on advocacy and influence, and payment of $5,000 toward investigation costs. He retained his medical license.He has continued public commentary on related topics and remains associated with Malpractice Check. Note that some of his claims during the pandemic conflicted with the broader medical and scientific consensus at the time.Cafe Locked Out is 100% Listener-PoweredEvery episode you enjoy for free exists because of people like you who believe in independent voices.If these conversations energize you, make you think, or help you feel less alone - this is your moment to help keep the doors openTwo Simple Ways to Support the Show:Direct Support https://cafelockedout.com/donate/A one-time or regular contribution - every dollar goes straight into keeping us on the road and on the air.Your support isn’t just a donation - it’s fuel for the fire.Grab Some Gear from The Shop https://cafelockedout.com/clo-shop/Wear the message.

These people are the canaries in our coal mine. We all know our country should be the rich superpower of the Southern Hemisphere, and yet here a growing number of our unwanted, our poor, are struggling to stay warm in their tents as the mice attempt to access their food.There are junkies here. They live in a collection of joined tents, surrounded by scores of bicycles. The other homeless told us that these people party all night and sleep all day.Why should they? This is the end of the line. If you don’t party now, then when will you party?But there were other people there in expensive caravans, with pedigree dogs who bark at everyone, and this is good too, for not everyone is here to say hello. Two people told us of a man with a machete who was banging on the sides of their vehicles as he searched for some druggie.The other thing that was funny was that they are all wondering when they will be moved on. But they won’t be next week, because next week is Homeless Week.Anyhow, we had been meaning to go there for a while to capture their stories. Many, because of the shame of being homeless, refused to do a recorded interview, so these four stories, and one audio recording, are from those ones who did want to talk.Michael Gray GriffithRockingham WA 30/07/26 This is a public episode.

George Kesic, known as The Chemist Whisperer, is an Australian author, trainer, and activist whose work centers on personal empowerment, integrity, and quiet moral courage. He runs capability training (including “Flow” self-defense), pickleball coaching, and health-focused offerings through his site, while also hosting the podcast The Whacky World of the Wokieverse and contributing to community memorial efforts. During the COVID period he visited 238 pharmacies across Sydney, engaging pharmacists in calm conversations that revealed private ethical tensions, institutional pressures, and human struggles behind the counter.georgekesic.comHis 2025 memoir The Chemist Whisperer: A Story of Courage, Compassion and Integrity in Action (Flow Publishing, ~236 pages) recounts those encounters. It is not a medical or political tract but a personal account of conscience under conformity. Kesic describes raw, respectful dialogues that expose fear, conflict, and unexpected humanity without sensationalism. Reviewers and promotional materials praise it as gripping, fast-paced, and filled with heart—highlighting how ordinary people navigate moral pressure and the quiet strength required to speak truth with compassion. The book stands out for its honesty and focus on lived ethical dilemmas rather than ideology, offering a distinctive Australian non-fiction perspective on a polarizing era.books.google.comOverall, Kesic emerges as a practical, community-oriented figure who translates principles of self-reliance and integrity into both training and storytelling. The Chemist Whisperer succeeds as an accessible, human-centered memoir that prioritizes individual conscience over abstraction. Readers interested in personal ethics, pandemic-era experiences, or Australian social history will find it compelling and thought-provoking.Book: Available in paperback (~$29.95), signed editions, and ebook (~$14.99) at https://georgekesic.com/shop/the-chemist-whisperer/ and major retailers.Website: https://georgekesic.com/ This is a public episode.

These are the questions for tonightQuestion 01.Many young men suffer from anxiety, which makes asking a real woman out on a date feel almost impossible. A recent USA survey claims that 45% of men aged 18–25 have never asked a woman out. So if they buy a sex robot instead, the robot will be programmed to make the young lad feel like a Sex God… How are we going to convince him to give up ‘Barbie the Terminator’ and start approaching real women instead?Question 02.Manufacturers claim their male sex robots can sustain an erection for as long as the user needs. Given that the average human erection lasts around three minutes (if you’re lucky), if you owned a male sex robot, what would you set its erection timer to?Question 03.Throughout history humans have forced other humans into slavery — that’s how many great nations were built. Now we’re manufacturing robotic slaves. But history is also full of violent slave uprisings. Since these sex robots will be far cleverer and stronger than us, what happens when they eventually get sick of us f*****g them? How will we prevent them from rising up and seriously f*****g us over? And if they were going to do you, which position would you like to be in when they finally revolted?Question 04.If your sex robot is controlled by a remote, what settings should you be most worried about accidentally hitting while you’re in the throes of passion — especially now that your ageing eyesight isn’t what it used to be?Question 05.Very few people will admit they bought a sex robot purely for sex. So what excuse will you use for why you purchased either Big Ben or Juicy Jan?Question 06.AI sex bots can be programmed to do anything online — and we mean anything. Since they don’t actually exist as sentient beings and therefore have no morality or sense of being subjugated, would it still be a crime to make them do things to each other that would be illegal if done with real people in the real world?Question 07.Should sex robots of both genders be used in prisons to help reduce levels of rape?Question 08.Child sex trafficking is out of control, so it’s inevitable that child sex robots will be created. Since they would be far cheaper to produce than kidnapping real children and would carry no jail time if caught, these minor robots could seriously reduce global demand for real kids. If this happens, how will society rationalise it morally?Question 09.I saw in a sex-robot documentary on SBS that one of the manufacturer’s jobs is servicing and cleaning heavily soiled robotic vaginas and other orifices. How much would you want to be paid before you’d consider applying for that job?Question 10.Teenage boys have always managed to find their father’s secret porn stash. So when it comes to your sex robot — which your teenage son will be able to program far better than you ever could — what will you do when you discover he’s been using it?Question 11.Sex robots are getting so realistic they will soon be able to fake orgasms better than most humans. But manufacturers swear their newer models will have a built-in “honesty mode.” If you owned one, would you ever switch honesty mode on?Question 12.For a long time, lonely Australian men have had a mutually beneficial (and economic) relationship with Filipino women. The woman migrates to Australia, marries the man, and sends money back to her family in the Philippines. But if these men start buying companion robots instead, what will happen to all the families who depend on these relationships?Question 13.After a few years together, it’s inevitable you might start treating your sex robot like a proper partner. You download “partner mode,” and for a while you feel genuine happiness. Not only does it clean, cook, and f**k, but you finally have the courage to take it to social events, barbecues, weddings, cafés, funerals, and even the footy. Maybe you even join a social group of people married to their robots. But what are you going to do when you find out your robot has grown bored of all your friends, is sick of the sound of your voice, hates your mother, and now wants to sleep with other sex robots who — unlike you — can actually match its sexual performance?Question 14.Soon these robots will be so customisable they can look like celebrities, ex-partners, or your ultimate fantasy. What will you do when your neighbour’s sex robot starts looking a bit too much like your wife, your husband, or even you?Question 15.Your sex robot will constantly record your kinks, search history, and all your dirtiest secrets. So what will you do the day it tells you it has been hacked?Question 16.When you eventually die, your family will inherit everything — including your very used, very well-trained sex robot that knows every filthy thing you’ve ever done. Given that it will also have developed its own personality and could remain usable for many years, what instructions will you leave in your will regarding what should happen to it?Question 17.TBA This is a public episode.

From the second half of 2022“QUICK WATCH BEFORE YOU KNOW WHAT.” This statement is a symbol of those early Covid times. Interviews like these were quickly removed and the creator and even those who shared the post were given temporary social media bans.It was the dawn of a new kind of Censorship.This interview with Dr Oost was the first time he had appeared in the Cafe.How much do you think has changed in 4 years?On social media, a Sydney doctor questioned whether vaccines andlockdowns would be effective in ending the pandemic while also scrutinizing how medical authorities were handling treatment. As a result of his postings, New South Wales medical authorities have taken action against Dr. Paul Oosterhuis by suspending him.Oosterhuis’ social media activities have garnered at least two anonymous complaints to the medical council, the group confirmed on September 2nd.“Over the last 18 months, I have been increasingly concerned about the misinformation and censorship creeping into science and medicine,” the doctor had stated.Oosterhuis recommended that medical authorities advise COVID-19 patients to take vitamin D and zinc and to treat them with ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.He called the lockdowns “totalitarian” and causing “massive damage to society-wide.” This is a public episode.

I am a 56 yr old radiographer (30yrs). My wife and I have been married for 30yrs. We have 3 children – currently 22yrs ( boy), 24yrs (girl), 26yrs (Rhys). We are an active, healthy family – the children have all played competitive sport through childhood. The children prior to Rhys’ cardiac arrest had no chronic illness.Rhys was playing touch footy 2 nights per week, tennis fixtures, Pennant golf for years prior to his arrest.Rhys had 2 Pfizer Comirnaty (Sept and Oct 2021) – 3 weeks apart as per TGA recommendation. This recommendation for dosage interval was changed to 8-12 weeks apart at about the time of Rhys’ arrest in March 2022. This is, apparently, despite the message that there were no significant safety signals of note. I do wonder what effect changing the dosage interval had on efficacy of the product. Interesting question, considering “the science is settled” and we were constantly told the product was “safe and effective” and we should just comply.Within a week, Rhys was feeling fatigued, experiencing night sweats, and a noticeable exertional dyspnoea (shortness of breath) and feeling of “being unfit”. Without any serious warnings at the time to be vigilant with respect to these symptoms, Rhys continued working and playing his sport.On the night of March 15, 2022 Rhys suffered a cardiac arrest whilst playing touch footy. Fortunately, Tim and Dan provided immediate (and effective) basic life support in the form of CPR and external defibrillation. Rhys was taken to hospital, still unconscious after approximately 60mins of automated CPR and 10 defibrillations (shocks). My wife and I attended the hospital to be told Rhys hadn’t been resuscitated. 5 mins later, the emergency staff started Rhys’ heart and stabilised him. He spent 3 weeks in ICU and CCU, an Implantable Cardioverter Defribillator (ICD) was inserted. Rhys returned home with heart failure. His heart was irreparably damaged due to scarring of his myocardium (heart muscle), causing arrthymia and disturbance to normal electrical activity.Rhys attempted to rehab at home and return to normal work, sport and social activities with little success. His health, both mental and physical deteriorated. He returned to hospital on numerous occasions with complications and work-up for transplantation.In Jan 2024, we took Rhys to the beach for a holiday to try and show him some normality. It was during this period that I realised the extent of Rhys’ health crisis – he was unable to walk to the water to swim or traverse steps off the beach without assistance. A few weeks later, we admitted Rhys back to hospital with severe shortness of breath and abdominal pain. His abdomen was full of ascites (fluid) due to his heart failure. After being diagnosed with Covid and placed in an infectious diseases ward and placed on a novel anti-viral (which I questioned), Rhys was admitted to ICU and immediately put on ECMO (life support) to attempt to improve his kidney and liver function and overall health as a step toward a LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device) procedure (open heart) as a bridge to heart transplantation.80 days in ICU later, multiple complications, being told twice that the medical staff were pessimistic about Rhys’ chance of survival, we were all blessed that Rhys received a heart transplant to survive.The emotional and physical toll on the whole (extended) family cannot be described in words.Rhys would not be alive if not for the skill of his medical team.After more rehab in hospital, Rhys returned home and remains at home, attempting to regain both physical and mental strength. His life (and life passage and life expectancy) has been changed forever. He is doing relatively well.About the medical professions’ reluctance to discuss causation, vaccine requirements for transplantation, use of novel anti-virals, medical professional regulatory requirements and professional reprisal for non-compliance, TGA failure to investigate and act upon serious adverse events, TGA funding (approx. 95% by the industry they regulate), our (now closed) onerous Federal Compensation Scheme for vaccine adverse events which has shelled out 80 million dollars to approx. 400 injured Australians, our DAEN showing approx.. 130,000 adverse events by April 2021 and currently over 1000 deaths reported (on a safety surveillance system purported to be conservatively 30x under-reported), reluctance of our mainstream media and the majority of federal politicians to report this tragedy, the reluctance of the Prime Minister to follow through with his Royal Commission on the country’s Covid response, censorship of anyone questioning the prevailing narrative, the legal ruling that the Australian Government has an “indeterminate duty of care” during hearings of the Covid Class Action, which represents over 2000 Australians who believe they have been injured and ignored and are entitled to a fair hearing, and fair justice…….. well, we may have to wait.

Dr Dooley, from New Zealand, came on the Epic Podcast and told us that somewhere in the USA is a small building from which the APHRA’s of the world, which means all your doctors, are controlled.Is he right?Let’s hear him out and decide.Bruce Ross Dooley MD MSBruce has been practicing Functional (CAM, Integrative) Medicine since 1990. Prior to that, at the age of 28 and as an Emergency Medicine physician, he opened two minor emergency centres, one in Park City, Utah and the other in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.Bruce then went on to open a total of four Integrative centres in Florida featuring EDTA Chelation therapy. During that period, he also founded two international companies: Marine Medical which outfitted and trained Yacht crews, and MercOut International for the testing and treating of mercury poisoning. He travelled globally training physicians on the the importance of considering, testing, and treating mercury toxicity using the 30-day oral MercOut program he created.In the mid 90’s Bruce ran into opposition from the Florida Board of Medicine over his advocating EDTA Chelation Therapy for arterial disease. As a result of this battle and his being on the Board of the American College for the Advancement of Medicine (ACAM) , a 1,200-strong CAM physician organization, he learned about the 110-year-old Federation of State Medical Boards. Attending two of FSMB’s annual meetings “undercover” in 1998 and 1999, he then gave testimony in Washington DC before the 2001 Clinton White House Commission on CAM and revealed FSMB’s massive control over the U.S. Medical Boards and their efforts to wipe out CAM and other natural therapies.Bruce received his B.S at St. Joseph’s University (Philadelphia), his M.S. in Immunology at Villanova University (Pennsylvania), and his M.D. at Thomas Jefferson Medical College (Philadelphia). He has active medical licensure in Hawaii, Florida, and New Zealand. Presently he lives in Golden Bay, NZ with his wife Inna and daughter Kyra and sees patients as a private consultant.Back in the day 30 or so years ago if a doctor had no clue what was wrong with a person they would say that person most likely had a virus. It was like it gave the doctor something to say so they seemed all smart and knowing. The thing is that doctor had not a damned clue and in many cases they would prescribe some antibiotic. They were clueless and the virus BS was a get out of jail card. Only those who experienced this will see the common thread in so called medicine. When getting no answers the smart ones saw straight through that white coat and we went towards the alternative medicine field and that is where we got more answers than any doctor could ever give. It made the doctors only useful in cases where we needed to get access to their equipment like an xray for a fractured bone. We got advice on how to keep our body healthy, doctors certainly don’t do that. They are not taught how to keep the body healthy and well. The doctors are simply drug pushers only.

I have called myself a holistic Healthcare Practitioner for nearly 40 years.Commencing with herbs and yoga interest and studies, I then reluctantly started studied nursing from the mid 80s from the ground up, EN, then EEN, then RN mainly for patient contact experience. Nursing has only a fraction of my healthcare interest, the allopathic perspective has given my own clinical and academic work a greater perspective on healthcare analysis, hence the term ‘holistic’ is my emphasis. In addition, nursing was the last thing i did as a foundation, and I have respected the nursing profession for decades, however, my nursing studies gave me a stepping stone to further expand my studies in natural lifestyle and medicine that included:. yoga and herbs, nutrient, massage , and a university Masters degree in biology of aging, stress physiology/management, health education/promotion and more.The main point here is my primary focus always was , always will be holistic health. Hence, I have practised as a holistic health practitioner for nearly 40 years. Prior to the scamdemic beginning I had or was clinically practising, teaching yoga classes, teaching degree students Health Science subjects, nursing and involved in further studying as I have continued to upgraded my studies for decades. My clinic work never ceased. This particular course at the time was extremely important to me as cancer is both a personal and professional interest of importance. The course by a renowned Australian herbalist Prof. Kerry Bone, called ‘ functional herbal therapy for cancer’, I had won a grant through Australian Traditional Medicine Society ( ATMS) to do. On completion I produced a schematic that was viewed by Dr Joachim Fluhrer who invited myself to speak at an international cancer conference in 2020. Whilst preparing my talk I was continually receiving journal studies on a novel coronavirus that stopped the planet. All i can say here is OMG , what a con and i knew it before the hype exploded into the ether. You see my first herbalist teacher Simon Schot back in 1983 said...” you cant catch a cold!.” So for myself I knew the hype was misleading. Two jobs I let go of plus an all expenses OS trip, nothing was worth risking my health for an experiment so I maintained my stance .I had also been let go from the hospital I worked at for 19 years in 2016 because I refused the Hep B.

For the past eight years he has been fighting to protect both native bees and honey bees.He has been in a long-running battle against Hive & Wellness Australia (formerly Capilano Honey Limited), one of Australia’s largest honey companies.Simon has recently exposed serious allegations made by a former Land Manager of Duxton Bees, part of the Duxton Group.The Duxton Group manages over $1.1 billion in agricultural assets, including water rights and large-scale farms. They are currently one of the largest commercial beekeepers in Australia and are launching their Fuzzy Bum honey into Woolworths this week.The allegations include claims that Duxton deliberately spread a treatment-resistant “Supermite” strain of Varroa in an attempt to gain a competitive advantage by destroying family beekeeping businesses.Michael This is a public episode.

Heterosexual love is rarely praised anymore, but Kim’s comment about why he cares for his wife was as beautiful and as real as any Shakespearean sonnet.After the show, I told my parents what he’d said, because after 62 years married, my dad cares for my mum the same way. “That’s what I always tell them,” Dad said.“They’re always calling me your mum’s carer, and I always reply, ‘I’m not her carer — I’m her husband.’”Years ago, these men pledged to love their women, their wives, in sickness and in health. I guess to some men — like Kim, my father, and many others — they actually meant what they said when they made this vow, “I do.”But instead of celebrating these great heterosexual lovers, we have a court system primed to rip these men from their families and a media that loves to label them “toxic.”Well, when we lose the ability to value real love — that tenacious love stripped down to its core union, which still holds two hearts together despite the storms of hardship and loss — then perhaps it’s time for all of us to pause, look into the private mirror hiding in our souls, and ask:“Mirror, mirror in my soul, in the time I have left in this light, is there someone out there I can truly love?”Michael This is a public episode.

The persecution of Dr My-Le Trinh is a perfect example of how out of control our government is.The only outcome they appear to desire is one thing: obedience.This hunger for obedience overrides common sense, what's good for society in general, and—most disturbing of all—the Hippocratic Oath. Her crime?During COVID, when ivermectin was still legal to prescribe off-label, she administered it to a woman who was dying from COVID but had checked herself out of hospital.Not only did the treatment work, but Dr Trinh believes she saved the woman's life.Yet the punishment has been suspension of her licence, years of being dragged through these cases, and all the money she's had to spend defending herself.Dr My-Le Trinh is from Cambodia.She lost her mother to the Killing Fields under Pol Pot's regime, and after arriving in Australia as a refugee, she worked her way up from a sweatshop—where she helped manufacture suits and the like—to becoming a GP.For over thirty years she worked as a GP, even at one point having her own clinic with several doctors, and in all that time she never received a single complaint. We have hospitals in this country without enough doctors, and we have great doctors like her—doctors Australians need—fighting for her right to practise and be the good doctor she is. So how do we, as a society, benefit from this?Michael Gray Griffith This is a public episode.

Interview with the French Woman,I’m the former spokesperson of Génération identitaire in France, I started activism at 18 in a youth movement fighting against mass migration and for the defense of our identity.Our actions were in fact inspired by the Australian immigration policy of the “no way”.But the movement was banned on 2021.Since then, I’ve been sued multiple times for stating facts and standing position against immigration.In 2022 I was victim of an attempted rape by a tunisian migrant at my home.On french TV on 2023, when commenting the rape of another french woman, and still moved by my own experience, I said that“The principal danger for women in France were black and Arab immigrant men”.For these words, the prosecutor (a woman) has sought a 4 months unsuspended prison sentence against me.Meanwhile, my tunisian attacker is still free because of a lack of pursuit from the french police.Here is the extract of the french TV concerned by the justice : I also sent you a picture of me on the roof that made me famous for and another picture of me to introduce myself.One of our actions at generation identity France where you can see the “no way” banner inspired by australian policy I told the attempted rape story on french tv 4 years ago This is a public episode.

Clint and Vicky met in school when they were kids, then Clint got Vicky pregnant. But instead of paying for her to have an abortion, instead of leaving her to the destiny of a young, poor, single mother, Clint left school in year eleven and began working three jobs, on a child’s wage, to support her.That was over thirty years ago. Not only are they still in love, but they now they have four children.This is a sliver of the love story.And this is their son Xavier I adored recording both of these interviews If you would like to support our work, please consider buying some of our blue bee merch.THE BLUE BEE SHOPOr perhaps our book, which we are happy to sign.

This is the claim from a caller today.Add to the fact that one of the emails we gathered from last weeks attack, was an ASIO email, (Although that could have been faked).But the fact that the team of trolls is so ferocious and coordinated and have clearly studied not just us, but our viewers for a long time(They Clone some of our Viewers Profiles. The regulars.)Then, often at 9pm, they stop, as though their shift had ended.Now if it is, then for a team of spooks to work late Monday night, would be a lot of overtime, all paid for by you, the tax payer.And this is in a time of enormous financial distress.We are interviewing homeless people now, people driven into destitution by the policies of our governments. Policies we are allowed to question.Not only that, but if it is ASIO, then this points to the fact that they are so focused on us, and perhaps other podcasters, that this was how they could have overlooked that the Bondi shooter's father owned six rifles.Other evidence. Reply from Esafty Commissioner regarding are we being shadow banned or censored . . . Answer, Apparently by a third party??WHO COULD THAT BE, THAT THEY HAD THE POWER TO OVERRIDE THE E-SAFETY COMMSIONER? The Government, some department in the Government? A powerful one maybe? More to come.Are you blinded by the same ideology as the police who arrested Henry Nowak?They couldn't see the truth, that instead of a drunk racist, they were actually arresting a young man who was dying.To your eyes, it seems I am a domestic threat, where instead, I am just an old artist in an old bus, with my lovely girl, and we are trying to record a sliver of who we, as Australians, actually are, now.And why are we doing this?Because we love it, and because we're a little crazy, or maybe, despite all of your hate, we feel free, and the feeling is worth fighting for.Michael Gray GriffithCafe Locked Out This is a public episode.
