This is a problem that is not thought about enough in the West, with even China illustrating the issue. China’s national fertility has dropped to 1.09, an even lower fertility than much of the West, and one which if unchanged dooms China to extinction. That is hard to get one’s head around, given that the nation has such a high population a present, but demography is about population change, and people age and die, which is happening now in real time. As Breitbart notes: “China’s decline threatens to derail its entire industrial agenda, especially since Chinese young people are shunning factory jobs, and the sputtering post-pandemic economy is having a hard time finding any other work for them. Youth unemployment is so high that the Chinese Communist Party announced on Tuesday it would no longer publish the dismaying numbers.”

The radioactive element thorium is much more abundant in the earth than uranium, and has many advantages over uranium as use as a nuclear fuel. It can be used as a fissible fuel along with recycled plutonium and fissible uranium-233 in many types of nuclear reactors, including molten salt reactors and normal fuel reactors. It is much safer in rectors than uranium, with meltdowns being more remote; the liquid fluoride would expand in such a situation and cause the chain reaction to stop. This overcomes one of he telling objections to the standard uranium reactors. Liquid Floride Thorium Reactors (LFTR), can digest radioactive waste generated from conventional reactors, overcoming another great problem, of what to do with the radioactive waste. And a cricket ball size chunk of thorium has around 13,000 times more energy that a similar size chunk of coal, so it is very energy dense. It would solve humanities electricity generation issues until nuclear fusion is up and running.

So why was thorium not used as a nuclear fuel? The answer is, unsurprisingly enough that uranium can be readily used in reactors to produce weapons grade plutonium for nuclear weapons, and that is what the great nuclear powers wanted, and still do.

A number of organisations have warned that the big one may be coming, a cyber attack that may take down the internet, or cripple it, thus bringing modern society to its knees. But, we need to be cautious here, as in June 2020, the world Economic Forum made a similar prediction, of an "inevitable global cyberattack," a "COVID-like global cyber pandemic that will spread faster and further than a biological virus, with an equal or greater economic impact." Fast forward to December 2021, and a 10-nation exercise simulated a scenario in which a cyberattack brought down the global financial system. Among the responses to this crash was a replacement of existing currencies by Central Bank digital Currencies (CBDC). It is such a neat little scenario, dovetailing with actual developments, that one can assume that the globalists may well initiate this.

Yet, they are not all-knowing, and there are black swan events and randomness in the universe, as physics has shown. It is possible that a virus advanced enough to take down the present system, may mutate out of control, and get ready to attack the CBDC next. Nothing precludes that, and the ensuring situation of social chaos that will follow from such a collapse.

How might artificial intelligence (AI) actually take over? I don’t mean, AI controlled by the global elites to destroy us, but AI that becomes autonomous and says, humanity can jump in the lake, or even pushes our heads under water, metaphorically speaking. As detailed at an imaginative piece at the American Thinker.com, and it is a pity Australia has no equivalent blog to this, such AI would need to be able to write its own code, for itself, with no human intervention. If the AI is based upon quantum computing, which transcends the limits of present computation, the AI may be able to process and evaluate all existing information on an issue in factions of a second. “That kind of "intelligence" would be so far beyond a human's understanding that a sufficiently advanced AI system would no longer be able to explain to its old programmers the complex calculations underlying its "reasoning."  Barring human-imposed programming controls or some kind of doomsday switch, AI's vastly superior "intelligence" would give it a capacity for dominion over this world.

From this perspective, it is easy to appreciate Putin's contention that the master of AI "will be the ruler of the world."  It might make more sense to wonder whether AI will eventually be the master of AI and the future "ruler of the world."”

I have noted that there is a slow seepage of academic material which is critical of the Covid mandates. Daniel Miller and Alvin Moss, writing at the medical ethics/philosophy journal, The Hastings Center Report, “Rethinking the Ethics of the Covid-19 Pandemic Lockdowns,” put the case that the lockdowns were in violation of the fundamental principle of liberty, and to over-ride that would require far greater evidence of harm from the non-lockdown situation than the health authorities gave.

As well, the lockdowns were harmful to much of the population, such as children, and people with a mental disability. That too raises the bar for the justification of lockdowns. Of course, the more basic argument, not addressed in an ethics paper, is that the lockdowns did not do what they were supposed to do, stop the transmission of the virus. As the virus was airborne, it could be transmitted from an open window in a house to a person across the street, just as easily as a transfer in the street. It all defied epidemiological reality. The case of China, with the most draconian lockdowns the human race have ever seen, refutes the lockdown ideology, as these lockdowns failed dramatically.

This could create a precedence, or some suggestive jurisprudence. The Pretoria High Court has ordered the release of the Covid vaccine procurement contracts. These contracts across the world have been kept confidential, because it would no doubt have harmed the Covid mandates if the things in them were released. However, the release of the South African documents will give an indication of the standard form of the contracts across the West, a dream deal for Big Pharma. This may lead to similar court cases so that eventually the truth will get out. Hopefully before the next plandemic.

I get Bob Livingston alerts via email, but I can’t find them on the internet, probably due to my ageing brain (no link in the email either). But, here is the material which is top class.  He makes the telling point that a mere five years ago, the idea that there was a controlling cabal of globalists, pushing a diabolical agenda, that involved the transformation of the human genome itself and biology, would be assigned by most people to the realm of science fiction. Yet, over the last few years, we have heard such incredible things about transhumanism, the artificial intelligence revolution and genetics, from the likes of the World Economic Forum, that the conspiracy theories of yesteryear seem rather tame. As Livingston remarks, the Covid plandemic was a test case for sampling how far the globalist elites could push in totalitarian control. They found that the key to controlling the vast masses of humanity is fear, and they would take an experimental gene therapy if it meant that they would feel “safe,” as the government and health authorities assured them. And, nothing prevents a repeat of this once more by a virus with real “teeth” this time.

Leading critical care physician, Dr Paul Marik, who is the world’s second most published researcher in his field, has a substack dealing with Covid vax injuries and sudden deaths. However, he also has a research interest in cancer treatment. At a recent presentation given to the World Council for Health. A summary is given below. Dr Marik rejects the genetic cause theory of cancer, arguing that the genes that are supposed to be the directing agents have not been identified. Instead, cancer is a metabolic disorder: “it’s really due to lifestyle changes, insulin resistance, vitamin D deficiency, obesity, and processed foods that [are] driving this exponential increase in the risk of cancer.” At a minimum, vitamin D3, Omega 3 (from krill oil), and exercise can reduce the risk of cancer by 60 percent. While no health/medical advice is offered here, if this is correct, it gives us older people who may be approaching old-age cancer risks (e.g. prostate cancer in men), some real hope. I do not see what harm could come from such recommendations. But, the usual disclaimer, that this is for information purposes only and is not medical advice from us.

Now, why do you think this happened? Pfizer gave Australian employees Covid shots from a separate batch than used for the general population. According to  NTD News: "According to two executives at Pfizer Inc., Australia-based staff at the pharmaceutical company were provided with their own separate batch of specially imported COVID-19 vaccines. The executives spoke at a hearing in the Australian Senate, where they were questioned by Queensland Senator Malcolm Roberts. An excerpt from the hearing was subsequently shared by Mr. Roberts on his YouTube channel. The shared segment depicts the Pfizer representatives—Dr. Krishan Thiru, Medical Director for Pfizer Australia and New Zealand, and the company’s Head of Regulatory Sciences, Dr. Brian Hewitt—fielding the senator’s questions."

Putin has moved to set up a rural community according to the African International Congress in Russia. The aim is to settle thousands of migrants from disintegrating South Africa, where white racial genocide, as embodied in the “kill the Boer” song is on the agenda. “We plan to establish 30 settlements in Russia for Afrikaners who want to immigrate,” according to the head of the Eurasian International University (EIU) and general representative of the AIC in Russia, Konstantin Klimenko.

“These are Boers, farmers of European origin, whose ancestors settled in Africa many years ago,” Klimenko said. “Many of them are now converting to Orthodoxy and moving to Russia, attracted by our moral and spiritual way of life, with traditional family values.”

John Klar, US small farmer, has charged in, perhaps on a cow, to defend cows from the climate change maniacs who want to ban cows because they are a carbon dioxide hazard. He makes the observation that the climate change fanatics are very selective in their choice of things which are climate correct. Electric vehicles and solar panels get ticks, but the environmental costs of producing them are conveniently ignored.

As well, while the focus has been upon cows for meat and dairy, my business, there are other animals which produce substantial quantities of carbon dioxide  and methane, namely pets, who consume vast quantities meat as well. No doubt the climate change fanatics will move on house pets at some point, but they are nor quite ready for it yet.

Get ready for more climate change hysteria. Australia’s chief scientist has said that Australia is set to face a tough fire season (all seasons are tough). Thus, Australia need s to cut carbon emissions by eight times the present rate. Why eight times, why not ten or 80? I suppose that this is in the same news cycle as the fires in Hawaii, so a climate change spin is added. But, a counter from US writer Brett Stevens is below, where the fires in Hawaii are more a product of mismanagement, lack of clearing, and lack of adequate fire prevention rather than climate change.

This is something Trump should have done – sue Google. But, Robert Kennedy Jr, perhaps even more censored than even Trump, is suing Google now. The suit claims that Google censored him in a capacity as a "state actor" in collusion with the Biden regime and the intelligence community. As his campaign site says: "[the presidential candidate] alleges that Google worked with the federal government to develop and enforce ‘misinformation’ policies to censor the government’s political opponents, including Kennedy, who is running against President Biden in the Democratic primary. Such actions violate the First Amendment when, as here, they result from a public-private partnership that relies on government sources.” By acting with the government Google ceased to be a mere private company, and became a state agent. It is a sound argument, and it will be interesting to see how it goes.

This one came from my younger brother  who is in Adelaide, and in the Mitcham City Council district. My brother complains about the rates being higher than many other councils, as well as all sorts of other things reported here:

They are back; climate change law suits. In previous years most of these cases filed by Green Left activist groups failed, but now one has succeeded in Montana. A judge has ruled that the youthful plaintiffs have a “fundamental constitutional right to a clean and healthful environment.” In particular, Montana’s greenhouse gas emissions are “proven to be a substantial factor in causing climate impacts to Montana’s environment, and harm and injury to the youth plaintiffs.” No mention here that the life style they enjoy depends upon fossil fuels. The ruling also rolls back two laws. The decision is set to be appealed by the Montana state attorney general’s office, and hopefully a higher court will knock this decision over.

Germany’s woke Green Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has left to visit Australia, New Zealand and Fiji on a carbon producing jet. This is the politician who once pushed the idea of banning all domestic flights in Germany. But producing vast quantities of carbon is presumably justified because she has to perform a “tedious post-colonial liturgical exercise in Canberra, at which she would oversee the return of “cultural assets” from the Grassi Museum in Leipzig to the Aboriginal Kaurna people. These objects include a fishing net, a long thin stick reported to be a spear, and two shorter sticks variously described as a club and a digging stick or a wooden sword-cum-club and a digging-stick-cum-bark-peeler. The truth is that they’re just sticks and nobody knows what they were for. Nor were these quotidian hunter-gatherer accoutrements stolen from the Kaurna. They were acquired legitimately by German missionaries between 1838 and 1839 in the course of ethnographic research. These then donated them to the Historical Museum in Dresden, via which they found their way to Leipzig.”

But, for the woke Left, historical facts must never get in the way of a spot of moral high groundism. Even if the environment must pay the price.

This one is a warning to the rest of the West, about how the rule of law can be totally perverted in a very quick time by the Left. The prosecutors in Georgia have gone after Trump on numerous absurd grounds, including his tweet: “Georgia hearings now on [One America News Network]. Amazing!” Trump tweeted.

“This was an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy,” the indictment read.

Not only is the World Health Organization continuing its planning for another Covid plandemic, but with the signing of the pandemic treaty, will be put into a position of mandating the pandemic responses of nations. While the Australian health authorities have said that there will be no legal mandate from the WHO which over-rides national health sovereignty, it is clear from Covid plandemic 1.0 that the locals do what the globalists say. As detailed below in a comprehensive historical take on this, we should be deeply concerned: “our health agencies are guilty of malfeasance, misrepresentation, and deliberate infliction of harm on their own populations. The health agencies first incited terror with apocalyptic predictions, then demanded patients be medically neglected, and finally enforced vaccinations and treatments that were tantamount to malpractice.” WHO supported all of this, and will go further.

That is sound reason for the limitation of power, especially for an organisation highly influenced by communist China. 

The World Health Organization is moving full speed ahead with its branch of the New World Order. A recent meeting led by WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, and a wide range of the New Class technocrats, they discussed the next round of possible Covid mandates. They are still tracking Covid "variants" that WHO claims could mutate into more dangerous variants "that could cause a sudden increase in cases and deaths." Expect a new variant of Covid which they consider a “global crisis,” to emerge just in the run up to the US 2024 elections, if Trump is not executed before that. As an old TV ad used to say, when you are on a “good” thing, stick to it.

Vivek Ramaswamy, Republican candidate has said in an interview with Tucker Carlson that America is approaching a 1776 moment, meaning that a revolution is not out of the bounds of possibility. Thus,  Trump, charged with numerous “offences’ by the far-Left Fulton County Georgia prosecutors, will next week be put into  the “notorious Fulton County Jail, a consistently overcrowded, bedbug- and fire ant-ridden detention center that is being investigated by the Justice Department over alleged civil rights violations.” The charges are literally absurd, claiming that raising doubts about the election constitutes a conspiracy to over-throw the government. Obviously, the goal is to get Trump into prison, where he can be Epteined.
