The EU, in its relentless march to suppress the peasants, is moving now to uncork legislation, the European Media Freedom Act permitting national security agencies to deploy spyware on journalists’ phones in certain circumstances, relating to national security information. Sophie in’t Veld, a Dutch Member of the European Parliament (MEP), has led the journalist response to this infringement of freedom: “I think what the council is doing is unacceptable. It’s also incomprehensible. Well, it’s incomprehensible if they are serious about democracy.” The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ), an organization representing over 300,000 journalists across 45 nations said: “We know too well how the defense of national security is misused to justify media freedom violations.”

And, they globalist elites will keep doing this, until stopped. You can be sure tht conservative and right wing journalists will be number one on the hit list here.

Scientific American has taken the climate change mania to the next level for this week; ice, used in cocktail drinks is bad because ice takes a lot of energy to produce, and using a lot of energy is bad as that means more carbon production. So, it seems ice in drinks must go. It seems trivial, but as someone who has been following these movements, here is a pattern of advancing restrictions, done in the classic inevitableness of gradualism, Fabian fashion, only the gradualism is much faster than usually done in these tyrannical movements.

Chairman of the globalist World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab, gave  the opening speech at the WEF’s “Summer Davos” taking place in Tianjin, China, and what a speech it was. Naturally he praised communist China, which is wise given that he was there. The communists had made “remarkable achievements in economy, in social development, in diplomacy, and in many other areas.” He also praised high-ranking members of the CCP. The Chinese premier had the next speaking spot, and naturally proclaimed: “As a responsible major country, China has all along stood firmly on the right side of history and on the side of human progress.”

This issue is important as the Australian health authorities continue to push the vax, while denying that there is an adverse effects problem at all. Dr Maryanne Demasi has investigated in her substack the question of the justification of the health authorities, that the mRNA vaxxes adverse effects are “rare.” But for this to be true, here needs to be an objective assessment of the rate of serious adverse effects (SAE). Surprisingly enough, there is little published analysis of what the rate of SAE are. One paper found that there was 1 additional SAE for every 556 people vaccinated with Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine. Dr Demasi asked a number of health regulators the question: what is the official calculated rate of SAEs believed to be caused by Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine, and what is the evidence? The results “Not a single agency could cite the SAE rate of Pfizer’s vaccine. Most directed me to pharmacovigilance data, which they all emphasised does not establish causation. The Australian TGA, for example, referred me to the spontaneous reporting system but warned, “it is not possible to meaningfully use these data to calculate the true incidence of adverse events due to the limitations of spontaneous reporting systems.”

It is as we vax sceptics have surmised,  that the serious vaccine injuries is like an iceberg, with only a tip being visible in the mainstream health domain.

In the 1990s, the “French paradox was all the go; that the French had lower incidences of cardiovascular disease than societies like Briton. French wine makers put this down to wine consumption, and thus the idea was kicked off that moderate alcohol consumption was good for you. The antioxidants in the wine must be acting as a means of cleaning out arteries. This notion gained some support, and soon became a part of popular wisdom. Some researchers opposed it with contrary studies, and it took decades before the idea that alcohol could be something of a health food was debunked. Now, the safest level of alcohol is none:   https://time.com/6248439/no-safe-amount-of-alcohol/

But, there should have been more thinking about the French paradox in the beginning. Even if it was true, perhaps it was not alcohol, but antioxidants in the wine that was causing the reduction in cardiovascular events, such as resveratrol? More likely, the French diet simply may have been healthier than the typical British diet. This matter shows that science, medicine and nutrition in particular, is subject to its fads and follies, and we should take what they say with a bag of salt; not to be eaten of course, you know, hypertension. (The salt issue too is open to debate, needless to say, with one idea being that low sodium diets may also raise blood pressure.)

Here is an important blow to the Green dream of alternative energy resources fuelling modern society. Swedish Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson said that the Scandinavian nation needs “a stable energy system.” Alternative energy sources such as solar and wind are too unreliable to meet Sweden’s needs, so Sweden has now abandoned its “100 percent renewables” policy, and will be moving back to nuclear power.  The country is still embracing the folly of moving away from fossil fuels, arguably impossible to avoid if one wants to maintain a modern techno-industrial society, but at least going back to beautiful nuclear energy is a step in the right direction.

It is a pity the country could not harvest the energy potentials of woke bs that fills Western societies!

This was so predictable tht I am surprised it was not one of the first aspects of he West, especially British culture, to get a dose of Leftist deconstruction. The noble game of cricket, a symbol of British culture, as high culture in general, as much as chess, has been now denounced by the Left as embodying whiteness, and hence racism and discrimination against women; the usual stuff. The cure is to bring in more minorities, and women, as has been done with Australian rules football. Women’s football? I don’t know about Aussie rules, but as for women’s soccer while I don’t know anyone who has actually been to a match, I am sure that it would be exciting to watch.

Jerry A. Coyne and Luana S. Maroja, academic biologists, have presented an excellent overview piece about the war in biology, a part of the cultural wars. This refers to the march of Left wing thought through the institutions, and now penetrating into the sciences themselves. They discuss the issue of race, which I know the most about in their topics, but I think there is much more to be said, but we have covered this in other blog pieces. Of greater interest to the hot topics of today is the gender agenda, particularly the biological propositions that the trans lobby have promoted, such that the human sexes are non-binary, and exist on a spectrum. They refute this argument by pointing out that the vast majority of people have either male or female bodies, defined via genetics, male XY, female XX chromosomes. Then there are primary sexual characteristics, such as genitalia, and secondary sexual characteristics, such as bodily features such as breasts in females.

The counter made by the trans proponents is that intersexual exist, people who have male and female parts. That is true, but that does not show that the sexes do not exist, but instead presupposes the very categories of male and female that are supposedly rejected, so their argument is inconsistent. There are organisms which are neither plants nor animals, such as fungi, but that does not show that the plant/animal distinction does not exist.

Matthew Boose, “Western Man and the Suicide Porn of Our Age,” updates the theme made by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in his 1978 speech to Harvard University, where he saw the West’s cravings for material comfort and decadent affluence, “boundless materialism,” and the flight from religion and God, as leading as surely to a spiritual desert as much as communism would. And, he was right, for with the march of cultural Marxism through the institutions, the gap between the two systems, at least philosophically is not great. So much of the base of the USSR is present in the West now, almost taken for granted: “What have been the fruits of these idols? Oppressive ennui, mediocrity, and evils that multiply faster than the human imagination can reckon. The political freedoms once associated with Anglo-American liberalism, such as free speech, are now an illusion, replaced by a purely libertine conception of “freedom.” The blasphemous worship of sexual exotics and racial minorities is enforced by the world’s most powerful government.”

The assumption coming out of the Covid mandates, seen very clearly in the Victorian government response, is that ultra-paternalism is justified, that the state knows best, and has the right to steam-roll individual liberties, such as freedom from medical interventions, in aid of some public well being ideal. Actually, the ideal is that it is the maximisation of profits for Big Pharma, for the corporates have become a key component of this new communist ideal, as part of the Great Reset.

Iurie Roșca, has written a tremendous article detailing that we have a de facto world government, operating through globalist organizations such as the UN and World Health Organization. He believes clear evidence of this was shown during the Covid plandemic madness, where not only was national sovereignty by-passed in favour of WHO, CCP-inspired dictates, but fundamental principles of liberty, such as informed consent, were crushed. Those sorts of steam-rolling of core values, are just what dictatorships do. Likewise, with the de-industrialisation polices of the climate change agenda, no country has stood its ground and opposed these. He thus concludes that the foundations of the New World Order are in place now.

While Christian patriots must fight to oppose this, he has no illusions about the likelihood of at least short-term success: “Creating parties, participating in elections, organizing street demonstrations, collecting signatures, sending e-mails or petitions to dignitaries, all these have no longer any purpose in the new conditions. Worse, the entire work of informing and awakening societies to reality, which we, the anti-System militants do, has a limited impact and cannot produce a reversal of the situation. This is because of the control over the collective mind exerted for decades by mainstream media and mass culture, by manipulation and perception management, by social media and hedonistic individualism.”

This item kept appearing in my news feed, if that is what the annoying square on the bottom right of the computer screen is called, and I ignored it until just about now, when the penny dropped. Coal and wood-fired pizzas have the reputation of being the best pizzas; I checked this with the Italian woman who is working opposite me on a computer in the community centre. My extensive research indicates that New York pizzas have the reputation of being the best of the best; who am I to disagree? I never eat the stuff, too much dough which gives me terrible IBS.

Anyway, under the insane climate change mandates of New York, worse than anything we yet have in Oz, these pizza makers have to slash carbon emissions by up to 75 percent. This will be a big expense, tens of thousands of dollars, and will probably put the smaller operators out of business. While this does not seem of international importance, it illustrates the brutal impact of climate change policies upon small business, and we can expect more of this in all jurisdictions, so, get ready. The climate change elites feel that they have the high moral ground, and are totally merciless.

The authorities have no real idea who is sending the threatening letters with a mysterious white powder to Republican lawmakers in three states which passed legislation unpopular with the “Lobby.” Such laws were aimed to protect children from sex-change operations, and puberty blockers. Around 100 letters have been received by Republican lawmakers and public officials. The white powder was tested and found not to be a chemical or biological agent. But, it was probably sent as a message that people had better play ball, or else … next time.

US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr has given a tremendous speech where he condemned the “forever war” policies, pushed by the Deep State in all the presidents after they killed his uncle, John F. Kennedy. These polices involved, in short, demonising Russia, and other countries, often to the point of lying about matters, such as the weapons of mass destruction that Iraq supposedly had, but did not, that covered an invasion and toppling of the regime, in a war for oil.

Instead, Kennedy like Trump, wants to end the “forever wars,” pushed by the military industrial complex, and go back to a society which was not seeking to enforce its supposed order upon the world. As well, consistent with this, Kennedy opposes the creation of a vaccine New World Order under the World Health Organization.

The media has been reporting on a number of young people who felt that they had gender dysphoria, distress at believing that they were born in the wrong bodies, and who thus sought the advice of trusted surgeons, who then engaged in trans surgery. One person, Kayla Lovdahl, had such surgery as a 13-year old, which now at the age of 18 year, she describes as “barbaric and cruel,” leading to emotional and physical injuries. Kayla is suing the doctors and hospital, with the basis of her case being that statistics indicate that that nearly half of trans surgeries result in serious and life-threatening complications, and as a minor, she did not make informed consent. The American Thinker.com extract below has some graphic medical details, but no more that we hear almost everyday now.

I do not know how this case will go, since the plaintiffs are up against not just particular defendants, but a powerful ideology, which as the present time, is the Big Thing.

Here is yet another reason, a very good one too, for Christians to support their nations abandoning the UN, which no longer serves any purpose beyond woke globalism. Thus, Victor Madrigal-Borloz claimed in his address to the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva that religious communities who did not accept the full demands of the LGBT agenda, were committing acts of discrimination and violence. The LGBT position is “beyond the scope of the right freedom of religion or belief.” That means, that the traditional Christian idea of the family must go, along with the position that homosexuality is a sin. Thus, for example, the Catechism of the Catholic Church sees homosexuality as a “grave sin” and “objectively disordered.” That would therefore need to be abandoned, according to the UN, along with passages in the Bible presumably removed.

Or, we abandon the UN, at long last.

I am not certain if this has occurred anywhere else in he world, but be sure with the trans agenda, we are going to see it, everywhere. A college professor has been sacked for explaining to a biology class, not cultural or queer studies, that the sex of a person is determined by chromosomes. The sacking seems to be based upon “religious preaching, discriminatory comments about homosexuals and transgender individuals, anti-abortion rhetoric, and misogynistic banter.” That is quite a mouthful. Perhaps here is more to the story, but the claim that biological sex, which by the Left’s own criteria, is distinct from gender, is determined by chromosomes, is in fact true. Of course, the Left may go total postmodern relativism, and deny that any truth exists, at least objectively, but if they go down that road, well, there goes the gender identity thesis, which is true only relative to them, but not to the rest of the rational universe.

Al Gore, former US vice president, made a claim to fame for being the early force of climate change hysteria with his book and film, An Inconvenient Truth (2006), which predicted a climate apocalypse about now, just as Greta Thunberg more recently has done, with her failed prediction. Gore’s big thing was about the polar bears getting stuck in the middle of the ocean and drowning as the ice has melted, but it turned out to be nonsense since polar bears are superb swimmers. Anyway, things have gone well for big Al, who I recall saying that we should watch his waistline to see if he is going to run for president. But, he is doing fine, with speculation that his carbon-saving projects are going to make him the first carbon billionaire.

Now on this I suppose the standard line conservatives would take is that he is somehow hypocritical; however, I do not see a problem with developments that Gore may have done. The market will decide if these things are of merit or not. What I don’t like is the high moral ground taken to justify this, the boring mythology that we are eco-warriors saving the planet. It is just a myth. Better to be honest and just make heaps of money.

Christian collapse theorist, Michael Snyder addresses an issue which should be foremost on American minds; accelerating collapse. I do not think, having lived in Australia, that the same level of breakdown is operating there yet, but give it time, for the same forces of decadence, decay and disintegration are at work throughout the West. Certainly, what Snyder says about here in the US, is also applicable to Western Europe, where societies are also beginning to implode under the stresses of an immigration invasion, and New World Order attack upon fundamental institutions such as farming and energy production. Apart from South Africa, which is arguably in a state of social collapse with a near-operating government to continue oppression of the people, what is seen daily in America is little short of alarming. Retail theft has become common, with groups of people simply storming stores and taking what they want. Police have been ordered by Soros-backed DAs to go soft, or not prosecute at all. This was seen in 2020, where antifa arsonists, and destructors of property, were mostly let off by Democrat law authorities. Consequently, many big stores are pulling out of places like Baltimore, which once was dangerous, especially if one was white, to becoming war zones, making the Wild West look tame.

If the US ends up at this point of chaos, there is nothing to say that Australia, for example, is magically exempt, as all of the ideologies leading America to this situation are present right across the West. 

I have felt for a long time, that almost all of the ruling elites, local and global, are criminally insane. They embody numerous psychological disorders, especially psychosis, megalomania and psychopathology. These elites do not operate on the normal moral constraints that bind our behaviours, for they will do anything to secure and further their power.

Peter McCullough has also addressed this issue, and quotes from the psychologist Carl Jung’s 1957 work, The Plight of the Individual in Modern Society, which gives support to the view that society’s sanity is only held in check by a minority of people who hold to critical rationality. Yet today, with the dumbing down of the population, and I think the elites as well, the number of people of unsound mind increases. If this process continues, then a civilisation is doomed. Even though the elites may have high IQ in the sense of information processing ability, they lack  common-sense survival instincts; this is seen in the present Ukraine situation where it is clear that nuclear war could breakout from present polices, but it seems, the agenda of letting major corporate powers rebuild the Ukraine in their image, overrides the destruction of the human race. And, very few people seem to be devoting the concern to this issue they should, mindless embracing support of the Ukraine at all costs. Zelensky would no doubt nuke Moscow if he had the nukes. And, if that is not madness, nothing is.
