"The rest of the cookers then erupt with mirth at
(Slater's) stunning wit."
One year ago the notoriously unrestrained
Australian press went after surfing’s greatest ever after he
teed off on COVID vaccines on an obscure Instagram account.
“For people saying listen to the doctors,” Slate wrote, “I’m
positive I know more about being healthy than 99% of doctors, but I
wouldn’t trust me. But most of my covid info comes directly from
doctor friends, many of them in disagreement with the official
‘science’.”
He added ominously.
“I had another of many friends have horrible reaction to the
vaccine just today. She thought she was dying and fears her quality
of life has changed in the past few days for good. My mom also is
part of those underreported stats. Other friends have literally
died from it. So anyone here shaming people who are affected or
concerned does nothing but feed the ego.”
Everyone laughed, press came in swinging, but after recent
revelations the vaccines may not have been the miracles they were
promised, heart attacks as common as catching a cold, athletes
collapsing mid-game, you think the press would be a little
sheepish, maybe tone down the rhetoric?
Well.
Earlier today, the Twitter account @KenBerhan, which shares “Oz
Cooker News & Views”, a cooker is a conspiracy theorist in the
Australian vernacular, ran a clip showing various “cookers”
discussing “environmental lockdowns” and “smart cities.”
“Initially I assumed both [former Wimbledon champ Pat Cash and
Kelly Slater] were just anti-vax, but it seems they are both much
further down the rabbit hole than that, and majorly cooked!”
The Australian press gobbled it up.
This from News.com.au,
The footage begins with Cash griping about emission
reduction targets, wildly claiming they were part of a wider
“lockdown” conspiracy.
“The environmental lockdowns … are going to be subtle, just
like everything else,” Cash begins.
“I live in London, I’m in Melbourne at the moment, but I
live in London, and there’s a certain area of a suburb where you
cannot drive down for emissions, and people in London will
understand this, there’s an emission lockdown.
“There’s been signs for years, low emissions, all this sort
of stuff. Now if you go into that area, you drive down that area
and you don’t live there, you will get fined … an infringement
notice, about 80 pounds so.
“It was never there, it’s there now, they’re starting to
implement them bit by bit and that’s how it starts. ‘Oh, we’re
looking at the environment in this area to protect the people from
the pollution that’s coming out of the cars’.”
Kelly Slater then interjects, saying sarcastically: “Cause
wind doesn’t blow? Is that what it is Pat?”, with the rest of the
cookers then erupting with mirth at his stunning wit.
“These are the subtle things – so people, be aware of this,
so when you go to your council, and they say, ‘oh we’re looking at
doing the parking permissions and all this around whatever it
happens to be’, be aware that this is how it starts, and it has
started already,” Cash concludes.
Another participant then launches into a nonsensical tirade
about “15 and 20-minute cities”, which appears to be a reference to
a residential urban concept in which most daily needs and services,
such as work, shopping, education, health, and leisure, should be
located within an easily reachable 15-minute walk or bike ride from
any point in the city, which most people would probably agree
sounds ideal.
All this, says News, “comes amid a recent explosion in ‘cooker’
activity in Australia.
I ain’t one for conspiracies, although they certainly exist, the
Dalai Lama working for the CIA, the same
organisation’s MK-ULTRA program, the Gulf of Tonkin and so
on.
And so I put to the reader,
How you feeling about cookers given recent revelations about the
COVID vaccines, Pfizer, actors playing COVID victims and everything
else?
An unfortunate, but innocent, episode or something more
sinister?
