The real problem with electric cars is the battery, which when it breaks down, is a major cost to repair, needing specialist work. It is no longer the case of taking one’s car to the mechanic down the road to get him to fix things up in the morning for a pickup later in the day. Jonathan Hewett, Chief Executive of Thatcham Research, the motor insurers’ automotive research centre, has said “The challenge is that we have no way of understanding whether the battery has been compromised or damaged in any way.

“The threat of thermal runaway means that a catastrophic fire can take place if the cells of the battery have been damaged in a collision. “What we’re struggling to understand at the moment is how we approach that diagnostic technique. “It’s like a doctor trying to understand what’s wrong with you without any notes or an X-ray.”

Chris Morrison has argued that scientists are slow to abandon their failed climate models, because, quoting Roger Pielke Jr., they are under the spell of “groupthink fuelled by a misinformation campaign led by activist climate scientists.” The issue is that the present predictions of climate catastrophe are deductions made from a particular climate computer model, RCP8.5, which has featured in all the government policies for radical measures o deal with this alleged climate crisis, from fossil fuel elimination, the elimination of meat and insect eating, to geoengineering proposals to block the sun’s rays.

Indigenous leaders of the Yes campaign have denounced the racism associated with the No result, and will push ahead to establish a Voice framework anyway. A statement has been issued which said: “We accept that the majority of non-Indigenous voting Australians have rejected recognition in the Australian Constitution. We do not for one moment accept that this country is not ours,” the statement said. “It is the legitimacy of the non-Indigenous occupation in this country that requires recognition, not the other way around. Our sovereignty has never been ceded.” By implication, there is no sovereignty to non-indigenous Australia. This statement has been issued where it was stated that the next big thing was a treaty, as there was an “occupation” of this land, which belonged to Aboriginals and no-one else. What, no multicultural diversity as a strength talk?

Let’s get that in context. The creation of a modern world, as distinct from tribal life hunting and gathering, was done by the settlement of Australia by the dreaded British. The doctrine must therefore reject modernity. Thus, if every building and modern evidence of civilisation could be removed, and the land restored to just desert bushland, these guys would be happy. Along with this, the descendants of the invaders need to leave. Ok, carrying the thought experiment forward, how then would the remaining indigenous population support itself by tribal hunting and gathering, as present population numbers are too great? They might want the infrastructure to be left as reparations, while the invaders go. But even here, there would not be enough indigenous people to kick start a modern economy.

Al Gore made a big thing about this when he was thumping the climate change trial. The polar bears were getting stuck upon melting ice, and drowning. It was absurd in its own terms, as polar bears are great swimmers. Anyway, regarding the alleged decline in Canada’s polar bear population, it has been now shown that polar bear numbers have increased, as have their migratory patterns, and the polar bears have just moved on. Maybe the poor things are sick of being disturbed by climate change scientists!  

China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), has now moved to adopt a “Global Artificial Intelligence Governance Initiative.” This was promoted by he propaganda media as a freer approach to the governance of AI and IT than under the American regime. However, the meeting had the Taliban present, along with Vlad Putin, so the agenda is much like the movements China has initiated in finance, to undermine US influence, and replace it with their own global control. As we have said many times, things are moving quickly to the endgame now.

The unifying concept among the tribe of Leftism, such as neo-Marxist, feminists, queer theorists, trans/non-binary, is that oppressed people of the world must unite, for they have nothing to lose but their chains, to paraphrase Marx and Engels in the closing of the Communist Manifesto (1848). This is the idea that there are no enemies to the Left. But we saw the first crack in this wall in the battle over trans and traditional feminists, in issues like women’ sports.

And now, as detailed at City-Journal.org, the division may be forever, as some Left groups are solidly in support of Hamas, and want to decolonise not just Israel, but all of the West as well. It is early days yet, but his division will be messy, and there will be no unified Leftist response as was seen during the heady days of the 1960s on university dream land.

I do not watch TV news, as I do not trust the mainstream media. But, some interesting things are happening on the AI replacement front. AI newsreaders are being used in Asia and some other places like Greece, so networks can cut costs and have a presenter ready at all times. It shows the rapid advancements that are being made, as newsreader are an easy one, low-hanging fruit, for AI replacement.

https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/oct/20/here-is-the-news-you-cant-stop-us-ai-anchor-zae-in-grants-us-an-interview?fbclid=IwAR0ztnS8JmpCPs6A26IkWSDJncEbm_Vm5T6VBdTwH8EA5hHSe0JL2orRaz0

I have been attacking the universities for almost a decade now, raising numerous objections to them. Among theses objections is that these places are predominantly mass immigration recruitment centres for the Asian replacement of white Australians, to form a new Class of elites and technocrats, to integrate Australia into the Asian sphere of the New world order. One does not make this up; there was a vast literature about Asianisation beginning when it looked like Japan would rule us, but now out elites have gone the China road.

This issue was recently covered by Tucker Carlson, but evidence has emerged from  a lawsuit by a former prosecutor in  Hennepin County, Minnesota, the place where George Floyd died.  The former prosecutor, Amy Sweasy, revealed in her deposition that after the death of George Floyd she had a conversation with  Hennepin County Medical Examiner Dr. Andrew Baker about the autopsy. “I called Dr. Baker early that morning to tell him about the case and to ask him if he would perform the autopsy on Mr. Floyd,” she explained.

“He called me later in the day on that Tuesday and he told me that there were no medical findings that showed any injury to the vital structures of Mr. Floyd’s neck. There were no medical indications of asphyxia or strangulation,” Sweasy said, according to the transcript.

In my post, days after the Hama massacre of Israel, I argued that this terrible incident shows what can happen where there are severe gun restrictions, in dangerous times. The authorities will not get to people under threat in time, but will arrive only to mop up. Israel had, believe it or not, even more severe gun restriction than in places like New York. Hence except for one outpost, people were defenceless when the Hamas attack came. The point which I made previously is also made by a more recent article at the American Thinker.com. It is a knock down argument against gun control.

The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) has confirmed that a substantial number of bank branches in Australia have closed in the past year. In the 12 months leading up to June 2023, 424 bank branches, or 11 per cent of Australia’s overall branches, have shut their doors. Rural and remote Australia suffers the proportionately greater hit, with seven percent, or 122 of thee branches once being in their areas. According to APRA: “This continues a trend that has seen branch numbers decline by 34 per cent in regional and remote areas, and 37 per cent overall, since the end of June 2017.” And the issue is not merely one of labour costs, as there has been a 60 per cent decrease in operational ATMs over the same time. The banks defend this by saying that it is only reflecting the decreased demand for cash by consumers. According to their own data, of course.

I would like to see some independent statistics on this, not collected by the banks. Even if this is true, the extent of the bank closures does not correspond to any alleged decrease. As critics have said, the banks are working to force people into Central Bank Digital Currencies. The arguments against this have been made by many, including the loss of freedom from allowing one’s finances to be cancelled at the click of a keyboard, as was seen in the Canadian truckers’ blockade, and the cancellation of Dr Mercola. As well, any disruption to the on-line services, will mean that one cannot buy essential items. It is yet another thing to oppose, for freedom’s sake.

Israel is preparing for a ground assault upon Hamas in Gaza, which will not be easy, given the use that will be made of vast underground tunnel networks, which are more sophisticated than those used to great effect by the Vietcong against the US forces in the Vietnam War. Hamas has had much more time to construct an underground world, literally, complete with hospitals, and massive quantities of supplies, as it prepared for this battle over years.

And, while the IDF can destroy Hamas eventually, war on another front with Hezbollah is almost certain and the IDF have evacuated more towns and villages near the northern border in anticipation of a second  war. This war will be even more dangerous as Hezbollah is far better equipped, thanks to Iran, with more military tech than the rag bag armies of Hamas, with at least 150,000 missiles that can be fired into Israel. The weapons from Iran get transported to Syria, and the IDF has bombed the airports at Damascus and Aleppo three times recently to slow up the supply. Thus, Syria is involved now, inevitably. And in turn Iran will also engage at some point. It is generally thought that the US will actively engage to prevent the mass missile attacks that Hezbollah will launch. Thus, it seems the Israel- Hamas war will morph into an all-out Middle East War.

It has been alleged that it is possible to sue Big Pharma over the Covid-19 vax injuries, insofar as it is alleged that foreign DNA, a SV40 promoter sequence, was in the vax, and according to Steve Kirsch, Big Pharma concealed the presence of this contaminate. This is an American inquiry and we do not know if the results carry over to the vax as used in other jurisdictions. It will require establishing causality between the presence of the contamination and adverse effects, but independent lab tests are underway with results available in about 30 days.

According to Kirsch “If the data shows irreparable harm from these vaccines, then it's all over. The house of cards comes tumbling down. Trust in the regulators, the pharma companies, Congress, the mainstream media, and the mainstream medical community will evaporate.”

While this one event is not of decisive impact in itself, it points to a possible likely trend, where Australia’s vital resource of water is given to indigenous groups outside of native title challenges. The Allan Labor Government is returning water to Gunaikurnai Traditional Owners in Gippsland. Gunaikurnai Land and Water Aboriginal Corporation (GLaWAC) will be given two licences for cultural water use. This will be one of 200 megalitres at Buchan Munji, as well as 500 megalitres of water for the Tambo River. This is to support an alleged deep spiritual connection to the water. Now, to be clear, I have no objection to any Australian having a fair access to water, but water is the scarce resource in this driest continent on Earth.

Yet, could not the same argument about spirit connection be made over all waterways in Australia? Given this political precedent, what is to stop native title being turbo-charged to go after waterways rather than just land? After all, that has not been done to date much, but there is no reason why it will not occur in he future so long as the native title regime exists, which has given around 60 percent of the country to native title.

Across the country various woke institutions are having a meltdown in the wake of the No victory in the Voice referendum. Universities are offering crisis counselling, as if some terrorist event had occurred. And so is corporate Australia. But, I ask, if the corporates were so keen to put up the millions for the Voice campaign, and were so eager, how about carrying the game through to the bitter end, and paying all the medical and psychological bills, for, what, the next decade of referendum defeat anxiety?

One should not celebrate the victory of the No side winning in the Voice referendum for too long, as the globalist elites behind all of this, are not resting and is pressing on with its agenda for the dispossession of traditional Australians, using indigenous people as pawns in the game. Here is an item from the ABC, pushing the line that autonomy and self-governance for the Torres Strait people is the next big thing.

Well, if so, will they be setting up their own army, air force and navy to defend against communist China? Or will perhaps, the people decide that communist China is better than the dreaded white Australians?

The push is on for a supposed one million Palestinian refugees to pour out, and as usual be dumped upon the West as part of the Great Replacement. However, unlike in 2015 in Europe, a debate about this is occurring given the politics and much else of these people. An essay by human biodiversity researcher, Emil Kierkegaard, is being widely cited. It has relevant information and arguments for all immigration control activists in the West, including Australia. These wars of globalism serve little beyond conducting demographic replacement of traditional populations in the West.

As documented below, with lower IQ scores, poorer education, and language difficulties, the refugees will face numerous problems in Europe. With the AI revolution threatening even educated Western people, most of the refugees will be unemployed, no fault of their own, and welfare dependent. Unfortunately, this is likely to continue for future generations, and become entrenched. Can the European social welfare system cope with this? I doubt it, and collapse is down the road.

One important development in the fight against the globalist use of the zero-net ideology to de-industrialise the West is African resistance. As detailed by a great piece at Unherd.com, while the Western capitalists are pushing for African development using renewable energy, the African nations can see that this is a failure even for the West, with solar panels and wind turbines still delivering just over 3 percent of global energy, while fossil fuels still account for over 80 percent of the global energy mix quantum.  Thus, while the Western financial institutions are not funding African developments in fossil fuels, communist China is. It is a sharp double-edged sword as the communists do not support anyone without seeing it as aiding their agenda of world conquest.  But the West has left Africa little choice. It will be a new colonialism, but perhaps Africa can grab a few crumbs that fall from the table of communist China.

The latest revelation in the AI takeover is that general AI, ChatGPT, can write and execute its own code, which is known as an autonomous system, or an AI Agent. This is a new level of sophistication which indicates that almost every white-collar job can be replaced by AI, if not now, then by the near-term versions that the technocrats are developing. 

I started reading the Pope’s Laudate Deum, translated as “praise God for his creatures,” but did not finish the document, as it read like a student climate change hysteria dissertation. Not much theology, or references to the Saints, with just an opening token bit on St Francis of Assisi, who loved nature. Ok, good for him, but our world is much more complicated.

The bulk of the document is a  lead-up to his solution of essentially a world government of the likes of the elites of the World Economic Forum, although he does not mention his masters by name:  He cites his 2020 encyclical Fratelli tutt,i  where he called for some form of world government regulated by law, “equipped with the power to provide for the global common good, the elimination of hunger and poverty and the sure defence of fundamental human rights.”
