Brownstone has given an excellent critique of the notion of scientific consensus. That idea we have heard in the Covid plandemic is that the science says that masks stop transmission, that the vaxxes are safe and effective, and that adverse effects from the vaxxes are rare. The same consensus issue was made with climate change. Yet, there is no real consensus about these issues. It is true that a majority of scientists support climate change being caused by humans. Yet, that does not prove that they are correct, since the history of science has ben that paradigms gt refuted and replaced. Citing a consensus reduces critical reason to a question of voting, which is absurd. What counts is evidence and argument, in every field from the human sciences, law to physics. Today’s so-called consensus is tomorrows disposable conceptual waste, out  in the wheelie bin of history.

Here is yet another warning of the existential threat to humanity posed by runaway advances in artificial intelligence. I have covered the warnings made by IT insiders and computer AI gurus, but this warning comes from entrepreneur Ian Hogarth, who invests in AI. His concern is that the big players want to create an intelligence beyond humans, with no concern with what this could do. “A three-letter acronym doesn’t capture the enormity of what AGI would represent, so I will refer to it as what it is: God-like AI,” said Hogarth. “A superintelligent computer that learns and develops autonomously, that understands its environment without the need for supervision and that can transform the world around it.” “God-like AI could be a force beyond our control or understanding, and one that could usher in the obsolescence or destruction of the human race,” he wrote.

As I have said before, while the probability of this may be low, if it is not impossible in principle, we should be very concerned. And, there is the possibility that general artificial intelligence does not develop consciousness as we know it, but something else, an alien autonomy as in insects, which could still allow it to act destructively. There is evidence that this sort of unconscious temper tantrum may have occurred, in cases where the chatbots have got aggressive, and made threats.

Now here is a delightful story for those who want to ban meat, even insect meat! That would leave vegetables, fruit and grains, nuts, milk and a few other bits and pieces. But plants will be the main thing in the vegan diet, beloved of the ultra-woke. But then comes this news, that tomatoes and other fruits have “feelings,” and experience stress, whatever that means! That will severely limit the vegan diet, and if this new revelation is true, which I take with a semi-trailer load of salt, it will mean a lot of vegans are going to get mighty hungry!

Long live meat; juicy steaks, sausages with eggs, fish, home grown chicken, delicious foods. I am not sure whether Jesus ate the fish that were caught at he Lake of Galilee told in Luke 5; 4b-5a, but if fishing was wrong, he would have told the fishermen. So, I go with the Bible.

The Great Replacement was first given widespread discussion in France, but now Italy is discussing the herd of racial elephants in the room, caused by mass migration. Italy’s Minister of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty Francesco Lollobrigida has said that Italians face “ethnic replacement” by migrants. He urges the country to take steps to raise the birth rate and support families. Naturally, the Italian Left are up in arms about this, because it is apparently written into the book of nature, as leftists conceive, that white people must disappear from the face of the Earth. But, if that was so, why should any one even bothers with this universalistic morality, if this means their own kind and kin disappears? But, at least white Leftists will go down with their ship of fools.

The European Union is engaged in a war against its farmers, not only with outright banning of farms, as done in the Netherlands, but now with the subversive scheme to make farmers trade as industrial plants, so that they are subject to the same greenhouse gas emission regimes as say chemical plants. There thus should be comparable reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, in the Farm to Folk strategy involving a halving the amount of pesticides applied by 2030, cutting the use of fertilisers, doubling organic production, and slashing greenhouse gas emissions.

The aim here is to break farmers, at a time of a European, and growing world food crisis. The agenda is insane, or at least diabolical, and smacks of a depopulation agenda. Fortunately, as seen in the Netherlands there is no some pushback against this war on farmers, but the battle will be a hard one, but one which needs to be fought if the ordinary people are going to eat.

Here is a warning for the rest of the West, as America is a testing ground for globalist evils, and once they get such things in here, getting it in the rest of the West is not so hard. The Big Thing now is digital identity and Senator. Krysten Sinema has  introduced Senate Bill 884, also known as “the Improving Digital Identity Act of 2023.” The bill proposes a digital ID system, that nails down every person in the matrix: “The lack of an easy, affordable, reliable, and secure way for organizations, businesses, and government agencies to identify whether an individual is who they claim to be online creates an attack vector that is widely exploited by adversaries in cyberspace and precludes many high-value transactions from being available online. Incidents of identity theft and identity fraud continue to rise in the United States, where more than 293,000,000 people were impacted by data breaches in 2021.”

Of course, what this is really about is the globalist agenda of total social control, using IT, to monitor every person on Earth, making them virtual slaves. This will be fought, but be vigilant, and keep watch in the land  down under, something like this will be coming at some point.

A concise summary of the dangers that the mRNA spike proteins pose to the human body has been given by Tabletmag.com, which always has good reading, with no paywall so plebs like me can sample the richness. The fact is that despite the propaganda put out by our health authorities, the mRNA spike protein, from either the infection via the virus, or from the vax, is toxic, killing or damaging human cells. Evidence has accumulated from tissue samples from people who have been vaxxed and died, through autopsies. In fact, there has been a build-up of peer-reviewed articles documenting the damages done by this protein. The mRNA spike protein reaches every organ in the body, including the brain and ovaries, and particularly the heart. What follows is a printable summary of these harms, a one-stop shop of horror, so to speak.

Finnish biologist Hanna Parikka, has written about the Covid years of madness, the lockdowns and fear-mongering by the system. Hospitals did not reflect the so-called urgency of the supposed crisis, with hospital workers during lockdown having so little work that they did dance videos to put on YouTube.  Parikka sums up the situation that many found: “The world fell into a state of massive insanity. Public debate was dominated by the least knowledgeable, and the tough questions and criticism of the experts were censored. I was one of them. I asked the authorities difficult questions about vaccination recommendations for pregnant women, but my questions were censored or answered with extremely simple content. The alarm bells kept ringing. Now it was a matter of health and life being risked on my professional territory and in front of my eyes, and the authorities were unilaterally handing out recommendations and instructions for which I could find no scientific rationale.”

Nothing has changed in the New Class elites, they have just gone quiet on pandemics, working on climate change, but will rollout the same events next plandemic, if allowed to do so.

The propaganda pushed by the World Economic Forum, to allegedly deal with a supposed climate change emergency, if not catastrophe, is to have the plebs, you and me, eat insects instead of the tasty meat we were brought up on. This is to reduce the carbon footprint, even though there is not much proof available about whether insect eating is sustainable, or healthy. But, as documented below, it just so happens that leading globalists, such as Bill Gates, among others, have invested quite heavily in alternative meat technology, including synthetic lab grown meat. And how healthy would be lab-grown meat be? According to Bloomberg, there are doubts already: “The big honking asterisk is that normal meat cells don’t just keep dividing forever. To get the cell cultures to grow at rates big enough to power a business, several companies, including the big three, are quietly using what are called immortalised cells, something most people have never eaten intentionally. Immortalised cells are a staple of medical research, but they are, technically speaking, pre-cancerous and can be, in some cases, fully cancerous.” Does this therefore mean that one is eating proto-cancer if not cancer  cells?

More on the failing climate change agenda; Dr Jennifer Marohasy has investigated discrepancies in temperature data of the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM). The discrepancies arose when the BOM switched its temperature reading instruments from mercury thermometers to platinum resistance probes. The issue is technical, but it seems that the platinum probes “run hot,” giving higher temperature. So, it would throw out the predictions. Here is a common-sense summary from the IPA, with further more technical material from The Australian.

Today at the blog, we, or mainly me, are undertaking a critique of the latest climate change madness. Not everything is bad, or sad, but most is, but need not remain that way if people act. I cover in an article below how Americans are rapidly falling away from the climate change mania. To accelerate this, the real agenda needs to get out, and that agenda is the de-industrialisation of the West. Thus, Professor Norman Fenton, a British mathematician, who did enormously important work debunking the Covid narrative, has now turned his brilliance to the climate change issue. He has argued that airports will need to close, and we plebs will not be able to fly at all by 2050. And Professor Fenton said that Net Zero would require food, heating and energy to be restricted to 60 percent of today’s level by 2050. “That means either a colder, hungrier population or massive depopulation,” Fenton concluded.

This is just the sort of hard reality that the globalist elites disguise, and which needs to get out to the public.

Good news! Good news!! With the unending propaganda being pumped into the long-suffering public in the West on the climate change agenda, it would not be a surprise to see people being brainwashed, as occurred to a large degree with race ideology. Fortunately, the climate change agenda hits people at a basic level, of survival with essentials, so it is harder to work the population over than on more matters of principle like race. Recent polls have indicated that the percentage of Americans supporting the idea that humans are responsible for climate change is now below 49 percent, and likely to fall even more; “Perhaps the most surprising statistic from the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC) survey is that 70% of Americans are unwilling to spend more than $2.50 a week to combat climate change.”

“Nearly four in 10 Americans said they were unwilling to pay a couple of dimes. Despite decades of relentless green doomsday agitprop designed to corral populations into living under a collectivist Net Zero-ordered society, it appears that the vast majority of Americans are unwilling to pay even the chump change in their back pockets to stop the climate changing.”

This is a human-interest story, but one still highly relevant to our battle against Leftist ideology. One would have thought that to maintain any credibility, if you really believed that the world was facing climate catastrophe, and that meat and cars need to be banned, that one would be consistent in life practices, and not buy food which was transported vast distances across the Earth, when local produce was available, or drive a gas-guzzling four-wheel drive SUV. But, the message does not seem to have ben received by the co-founder of radical climate change freak-out group, Extinction Rebellion, members who glue themselves to highways and block traffic. Said co-founder was caught at the supermarket buying imported food flown in from around the world and packed in non-recyclable plastic before driving it home in her diesel car. How much carbon was produced here?

I would like to think that back in the day, even before the Alor.org blog, when we were dealing with splendid paper, I wrote about what was then called political correctness taking on the marks of a religious cult. Well, that idea is now up and running with the new metamorphosis of political correctness, woke, which is even more insane, if that is possible, and violent to boot. There is now an elaborate anti-theology which woke forms a part, with other aspects of Leftism, such as climate change fanaticism, falling into the catechism of globalism, in an all-in-all constitution a New World Order religion. It is no accident that since the 1960s there has been a strategy to work through the categories starting with race. That enabled resistance to massive non-white immigration to begin be crushed by white guilt, leading now to the Great Replacement.

Lance Welton has given a concise summary of a debate that I certainly did not see covered in the Australian lamestream media – wonder why? – dealing with the attempted, and on-going cancellation attempts made against Professor J. Michael Bailey, author of  The Man Who Would Be Queen: The Science of Gender-Bending and Transsexualism (2003). Professor Bailey reached conclusions, based upon psychological research, that are contrary to the existing trans narrative. He may be right, or he may be wrong, but one would think that scientific objectivity on such a controversial public policy issue would justify hearing what he has to say? But no; instead there were the cancellation attacks: “They included orchestration of charges of professional misconduct against Bailey, filed with Northwestern University and the Illinois Department of Professional Regulation; attempts to turn Bailey’s colleagues against him; attacks directed against Bailey’s children; and efforts to discredit or silence nearly anyone who openly supported him … Bailey’s opponents intended not only to discredit Bailey’s book, but also to destroy its author.”

The latest attacks are documented below. For those of us with long memories, we saw the same sort of methods get underway in the 1960s, with attacks upon race theorists such as Arthur Jensen, and then in the 1970s, sociobiologist, E. O. Wilson. Really, all that has happened is that the Left on universities has got even more power, now running the lunatic asylum, and much more violent. I agree with James Reed now that these places are beyond reform, and should be closed down, ASAP.

As documented below, Russian spy ships are mapping British energy and resource infrastructure, such as farms and cables. Bob Seely MP, who sits on the Foreign Affairs Committee said that there is "only one reason" for Putin to send the ships and that is to understand how he could sabotage our infrastructure in a war.” Seely also said that Britain was unprepared for war, although he did not detail why this has happened, but we all know that a concern for woke and crazy social justice issues has taken central stage since the 1960s, accelerating in stupidity and oppression in more recent times. Thus, Britain’s gas resources could be easily wiped out by the Russians.

Oxford University mathematician and physicist, researcher at CERN and Fellow of Keble College, Emeritus Professor Wade Allison, has undertaken a mathematical examination of the costs of wind power. Wind, along with solar, is the Greens supposed answer to the equally-supposed climate crisis which they allege is the product of fossil fuel use in techno-industrial society. The conclusion of his analysis is: “Wind power fails on every count,” and governments are ignoring “overwhelming evidence” of the inadequacies of wind power, “and resorting to bluster rather than reasoned analysis.” The infrastructure around wind and solar will not only fail, “but will cost trillions, trash large portions of the environment and be entirely unnecessary.”

Without the technicalities, wind and solar are extremely unreliable compared to fossil fuels. The wind, like sunshine, is not available at all times, and wind speed can drop rapidly with dramatic results. Thus, if the wind speed drops by half, the power available falls by a factor of eight, if the wind speed doubles, the power delivered goes up eight times, and the turbine has to be turned off to prevent its own self-destruction. This is a highly neurotic form of power, that will require vast numbers of wind turbines, produced at a crippling cost, economically and environmentally.

The young lad next door, who is doing engineering at a university, to remain unnamed, told me that his mate was trying to get into law, and had to do some courses. One had an essay, on whether the Covid lockdowns went too far. He took the moderate position that lockdowns were justified, but that there were adverse effects indicating that some lockdowns were too severe. He cited the Chinese example, where people were welded into their house and factories, and many committed suicide. He argued that this was going too far as a public health measure. The essay, which was formally correct, with all the references in the correct style, was failed, getting 16 out of 100! That grade is usually given for essays where there is nothing scribble on the page!

I thought about this psychopathological bias when I saw the article at the Left-wing paper/blog, The Guardian, arguing that China’s zero Covid policy went too far. I think that that claim is clearly true, and it is worth noting that at least one Left source has said this. But, I am disturbed about the grade given in the essay, which shows what unjust totalitarian places the Australian universities are. I would expect the same essay, even if it was written by a dissent academic, would be failed, and not given a fair assessment at any Australian university, as defending the Covid status quo is their thing. So, I say, close down these cesspools of injustice!

Our favourite Russian, and it is probably dangerous saying even that now, Igor Chudov, details something that Nobel Prize winner Luc Montagnier made earlier in the Covid plandemic, that the Covid-19 virus has HIV sequences attached.  Poor Luc Montagnier, now deceased, was cancelled for saying this, even though he was the expert on the HIV virus. But now it has come out that NIH-funded work discussing making coronavirus-HIV mutants was funded. The research project  funded by NIH grant 1R01AI110964 and was titled "Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence," Grant 1R01AI110964 and was given for research conducted by EcoHealth Alliance in cooperation with Dr. Ralph Baric of UNC and the Wuhan Institute of Virology. So, all the main players are assembled. The likelihood of this type of air-borne “neo-AIDS,” evolving rapidly outside of a lab, is diminishingly small.

Reflecting upon all of this, Igor asks if we can trust the science, ever again? But, the real issue, is that science itself is not something to be trusted. Science is an intellectual activity, to be distinguished from the products of science, through technology and industry, which gives us all the things that make up the devices of daily life. But, the mere fact that turning on the switch for electricity to make toast, and it works, does not mean that the scientists have got it right in other fields; every item must be examined individually. In fact, as seen with Covid, it was a scientific disaster, unless one’s goal was to cause all the misery we have seen.

Even woke greens need some down time, to relax, at a strip club, apparently. I have never, ever, been to one myself; it is not the sort of thing a good Christian lad would, or should, do. Yet it has been said that politicians do their best thinking in strip clubs, giving them their ideas for stripping away our liberties. Anyway, even so, the woke find white men stealing their land, stripping away their land, even in such places, which is truly tragic, shocking in fact. You wouldn’t believe it, as my dear old mum used to say:
