Common-sense, bless it, would suggest that over-eating causes obesity, for after all, if more energy by way of food is put into the human body, then it will be stored as fat for a rainy day, or more accurately, when food supplies are low. But, a recently published paper shows that this model is simplistic, because while being right about the thermodynamic fundamentals, socially the causes of obesity lie in low quality foods based around processed carbohydrates, such as sugar. In other words, it is the nutrient quality of foods which is the key. One could eat many sweets, but less so steamed vegetables.
Alexander Suvorov, associate professor in the UMass Amherst School of Public Health and Health Sciences, has published a paper in the journal Endocrinology, proposing that the projected decline in world population beginning in 2064, is due to social stress. Stress from social media and social interactions may be contributing to changes in reproductive behavior and reproductive physiology. "Rising population numbers contribute to less meaningful social interactions, social withdrawal and chronic stress, which subsequently suppresses reproduction.” No doubt that is a factor, but it is unlikely to be the full truth, since there are other factors at work. One, covered at this blog by Mrs Vera West, is the coming crash in sperm quantity and quality, which could doom the human race long before 2064. While stress does decrease sperm quantity as Suvorov admits, the adverse effects are too great to be due to stress alone, and are occurring right across the planet, so it is more likely that hormone disrupting chemicals are involved. This is but one factor in a series of converging catastrophes, racing up to destroy us.
I did not find anything as interesting going through Australian material, but for the US, home-schooling is expanding rapidly. The lockdowns from Covid have been the driving force for this, with parents moving into home schooling in the lockdowns, and finding that the education results were far better than sending children to schools which have come to resemble war zones. No doubt, as the social chaos continues to engulf America, and indeed the West, parents will feel that it is safer to home-school their children than send them into the white board jungle. For one thing, things like Cortical, sorry, Critical Race Theory can be ignored, and educational material in the sciences mathematics and classical literature undertaken. And, they will not have to suffer ill health from obsessive compulsive mask wearing.
I am not an economist, and no doubt there are much better Alor.org scholars to comment upon this than me, but since I am here, my plain man’s take of the US defaulting on the national debt, is that there is the potential for disaster, and widespread conflict. The Treasury for one thing would run out of money if the House and Congress are unable to get the debt limit raised. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has said that this will "cause irreparable damage to the U.S. economy and global financial markets." That might be significant, even true.
As detailed below, as China is of 2020, a bigger market for film than North America, Hollywood has swiftly moved to make sure that films do not offend the communist regime, at least those set to be released there to meet the CCP quota. This has involved careful handling of Chinese issues, and characters. Should we care? I do not believe so, since Hollywood is a highly decadent force. In fact, woke movies are going to perform poorly, which will create a massive problem for the Hollywood agenda. As well, China is developing an internal film industry to compete with, and hopefully eclipse Hollywood. I would love to see them go broke one day.

As we have reported, Joe Biden has issued a vaccine mandate, requiring that all businesses with over 100 workers have employees vaccinated against Covid-19. Unlike more socialist countries like the UK and Australia, America has the remnant of a libertarian system, where individual freedom is highly valued, and Biden is trampling over the remains of that tradition. Consequently, about 26 US states are set to challenge the mandate. As detailed in the discussion below citing legal scholars, all bets are off how this will pan out in the Supreme Court of the United States. There are complexities such as the role of religious exemptions, which will carry more weight in American jurisprudence than they do in more secular societies such as Australia. Overall, we are not going to get bored, at least, as turbulent times are ahead.
Professor Bill McGuire, in his book, Surviving Armageddon, (Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2005), discusses the threat posed by the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the western Canary Island of La Palma, which erupted in 1949 and 1971. These eruptions opened up a series of fractures in the volcano’s flanks, with the possibility existing of the entire flank falling into the North Atlantic. The amount of rock which could slide into the sea is thought to be as large as the UK’s Isle of Man. Computer modelling has been done about the effects of this upon the eastern coast of North America, and a mega-tsunami would destroy the cities of the Atlantic rim.
Professor John P.A. Ioannidis has been one of a few academics who has profoundly challenged parts of the social scientific establishment. He famously published a paper in proclaiming that most published social research findings are false, due to methodical and statistical problems with the research design. This was one part of the infamous “replication crisis,” where work in disciplines like psychology more often than not, fails to be replicable, or cannot be, or methodological and/or statistical flaws are found in the research. The major problem is the flawed or misappropriate use of p-values and aspects of the Neyman-pearson statistics. This is highly complex, but for us it is simpler to conclude that much of the social sciences is just a mess, made much worse by the heavy political nature of it. But, as detailed below, this crisis now extends to medicine, with the Covid issue seeing examples of leading medical journals publishing articles based upon fraudulent data.

This one should be of interest to Australians, as an example of the sort of government hypocrisy that the Covid plandemic has produced, where the elites simply do not obey their own mandates, such as wearing masks or social distancing. But this one is a wider policy issue. Biden, after declaring that employers with over 100 employees must ensure that all are vaccinated, and for federal employees as well, he said that this mandate does not apply to members of Congress or those who work for Congress or the federal court system. But, if Covid is so utterly serious, then why should they be exempt? Clearly, there is no logical or moral reason, so it is political. It is a case of one rule for the ruled, and no rule for the ruling elites.
The US Freedom of Information Act does not apply to Congress, so the watchdog, Judicial Watch is using the court discovery process against the U.S. Capitol Police agency regarding video footage it has on the January 6 peaceful protests. In particular, there is 14,000 hours of video footage which Judicial Watch believes will prove instructive. Who knows what gems would be found there, especially regarding the assassination of Ashli Babbitt? “As the Pelosi House seeks the confidential phone and social media records of countless Americans concerning January 6, its U.S. Capitol Police is covering up 14,000 hours of video about what really happened that day,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The U.S. Capitol Police should be required to explain under oath its reasons for refusing to turn over even one second of January 6 video to the American people.”
This bit of information comes from The Austrlain.com, which is cheery to see the mainstream deal with some of the Covid issues. It seems that according to Wei Jingsheng, a defector to America, in his new book What Really Happened in Wuha, that he first heard of a new, mysterious virus at the time of the World Military Games in Wuhan in October 2019, and he warned US intelligence services. The US intelligence agencies did not act on this warning. It was not until December 31 2019 that China alerted the World Health Organisation there was an outbreak in Wuhan. However, the CCP denied Covid-19 was contagious until January 20, 2020, but they almost certainly knew that it was. This is definitely strong evidence for the virus arising in China, contrary to the CCP position that it arose in America, from say an American military installation. But, the takeaway lesson is the level of incompetence of the US intelligence services, which are surely misnamed and instead should be called, Unintelligence services.
Here is Mike Adams in full apocalyptic bloom, interviewing and commenting on the Covid thought of Steve Quayle, who sees a collapse of America and the West occurring quicker than most predict, perhaps before the 2022 US elections. He sees the mass genocide arising from the dual effects of the tyrannical regime as well as the adverse effects of the vaccines. The discussion is at the Natural News.com link below. For our fellow Christians, I strongly suggest prayer, and in fact we need to be praying harder than ever before, because this is it! Even if Adams and Quayle are only say 50 percent right, or 25 percent, we are facing existential threats, and freedom and liberal democratic values are being jettisoned. Even critics from the Left such as Wolf, have spoken about bio-fascism now rising in the West, covered at this blog. Getting out survival warnings is an attempt to save lives and freedom, it is a report of the enemy’s movements.
Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett has defended the Supreme Court of the United States, saying that the nine justices are not politically motivated. Well, what else is she going to say, since this is just propaganda? It is clear that most members of SCOTUS are left oriented, and Barrett herself, while being advertised as conservative, is not much of anything. I have a low opinion of her. Trump should have had the guts to put in someone like Thomas, a woman if necessary, but instead, out of fear of the Left he put in useless her. Apart from Justice Thomas, a Black, most of the court simply rubber-stamps what the system wants. Its failure to even consider the electoral fraud cases, dismissing the state of Texas on grounds of supposed lack of standing, indicates to me, irreparable corruption. It is best that Biden totally destroys this court with tens of thousands of insane woke judges. Then the dopey conservatives might start to look up from grazing on the pastures of consumerism and realise that they face an existential threat. “Good men” might then have to do something. Or, perish.

With vaccine passports being rolled out across the world, natural immunity is being side-lined. However, studies show that natural immunity to Covid is vastly superior to that of vaccines. Here Dr Mercola gives a comprehensive summary of the evidence. The article has disappeared from his site, so it might be worthwhile printing this one off for reference purposes. I think internet archive sources still get this material.
I do not agree with Mike Adams on this one, but for the sake of news coverage this point of view should be discussed. He proposes that the Deep State is now worried that Biden has gone too far and is in danger of crashing the US system. I agree with this, and see this as the agenda, to put China as number one and destroy America. Adams thinks that the Deep Staters fear for their survival, but as shown by General Milley’s treason, they are all part of the bigger New World Order, and the demise of one nation state does not matter to them. The rats simply jump ship, until there are no more ships to jump.
Senile Joe Biden’s executive order, that businesses with over 100 employees will need to have everyone vaccinated, has gone down like a lead balloon with many US states. It is certainly a more radical measure than that of Australia, which seems to be getting private corporations to do the vaccine policing and enforcement. But twenty-seven Republican governors or attorneys general have now undertaken to fight this executive order in the courts. It will be interesting to see how this goes given the almost universal corruption of the legal system now. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, said: “When you have a president like Biden issuing unconstitutional edicts against the American people, we have a responsibility to stand up for the Constitution and to fight back, and we are doing that in the state of Florida.” “This is a president who has acknowledged in the past he does not have the authority to force this on anybody, and this order would result potentially in millions of Americans losing their jobs.” Let the battle begin.
First it was meat, but really for the West, all sources of protein are under examination by the Climate Change New World Order. The next frontier seems to be protein supplements. Look, Westerners like protein bars, but there are protein deprived people out there in the Third World, shock! horror! Hear it all from the Left, and stock up on protein. The bars coated with chocolate are tasty, but do not last longer term, and many are no more than candy bars, with high sugar contents. Best to get big plastic containers of whey protein, with low carbs. There are body building shops selling this, but also cheaper are discount chemists. Protein powders are a great survival supplement, and have a shelf life of at least two years or more. Get plenty for the coming collapse, a taste of which we have just received.
Singapore, an illiberal “democracy” has dealt with Covid with a mass vaccination program leading to 80 percent of the population being vaccinated. But, this nation of 5.7 million people reported 555 new local COVID-19 cases, the most since August 2020. So, social distancing and a wide range of other restrictions are back. So, what makes Australians think that the situation here will be any different? If an authoritarian country like Singapore runs aground on the Covid problem, how would Australia do any better?
Bill Gates, having done so much for the great vax god, Covid the Mighty, is moving on, as business people do. Sure, the West has been economically devastated by the shutdowns, often based upon advice from the Gates Foundation and others like it. But Bill sees new viral threats a coming. Soon there may be another pandemic, worse than Covid. The elites simply can’t wait. But, like the boy who cried wolf, maybe this time Mother nature might have a few tricks up her sleeve too.

We are reporting sad vax injury stories as we find them from the mainstream press, to illustrate what can go wrong with the vax, and also to show a human face behind the statistics that Brian Simpson reports on each week from VAERS of the CDC. The focus is upon America, which has now a vast vaccinated population, and a vast number of adverse effects and deaths, so with a much larger sample space than Australia, we get to see more effects of the vaccines. Here is one more story.
