While Europe is being subjected o the insane resource and energy restrictions arising not only from the Ukraine War, but also climate change hysteria, or rather the climate change conspiracy, a scientific study published in the peer-reviewed journal Climate and Atmospheric Science has predicted that Europe will not be warming for 15 to 20 years, but rather, the temperature will become colder. Of course, this is completely contrary to the standard climate change narrative which is, according to the UN, that there remains only nine years to save the planet from runway climate change. That can hardly be so, thus, the UN position is only a political agenda, to deindustrialise the West. As communist China is given a free pass for “carbon pollution” and now produces more carbon dioxide than he entire West put together, the entire climate change narrative must be seen as an anti-West scam, to deliver to communist China, mastery of the world.

My wife wrote previously about the coming bans on gas stoves, which will be a disaster for restaurant across America, if widely adopted, beyond crazy California. She mentioned in passing that this is the sort of idea embraced by the World Economic Forum. Mike Adams has done some research on this, and also concludes that all of this come straight from the World Economic Forum play book, which explicitly went after gas. We need to watch closely what this globalist organisation comes up with this year, as it soon finds its way into policies.

What we are experiencing now in America is very much a trial run for what will be done throughout the West, including Australia, so our suffering is relevant to you. And, the whole place seems to be falling apart. There is the coming ban on gas stoves, covered elsewhere, but it is really the tip of the flame, with even normal-capacity flush toilets being regulated, in the name of water conservation. And, these things do not flush properly, so in the end, two or more flushes are needed leading to even more water being used. It sounds a small thing, but it is a symbol of the growing restrictions upon things that never should be restricted in any sane society. The reason is that society, under Leftist globalism, has been insane for some time, and the social mental illness gets worse by the day, as the lunatics who control the asylum now, have all of our money, and plenty of time on their hands to dream up all matter of evil.

Another great deconstruction of the academic Left has been given by Dr Edward Dutton, exposing the lies, the falsehoods of Leftist research. He points out that fraud is quite common in soft disciplines like psychology, and almost always, the corrupt papers are by Leftist academic, eager to quickly climb the slimy pole of academia via a production-line of publications. This comes from studies showing that leftist have a greater propensity to lie, since their personalities are narcissistic   and opportunistic, and will do what is necessary to secure what they want. While I agree with these observations of Dr Dutton, I do not see this as necessarily leading to the doom of the universities, since the universities seem to be infinitely corruptible and thus well able to accommodate evil that would crush most conservatives. It is simply water off a duck’s back.

I saw this article dealing with social critic Wendell Berry, but I can’t really comment as I have not read any of his recent books, and have only vague recollections of A Place on Earth (1967). Still, it is interesting.  But, I liked the comments on Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), that attributes many problems to the lack of ability of people to be at peace, as exemplified by sitting quietly in their room. There is much here. Pascal even then say that the reason for this irritability was the poverty of morality that engulfs many people, and certainly today. It is seen in social media which Pascal, a deeply religious Christian, would see as the tool of the devil.  

People today at the blog are discussing interrelated issues of immigration and the climate change agenda, but this one brings them together in one happy bundle. Ireland is now preparing for a flood of migrants fleeing climate change. And, what exactly is this climate change? The government does not define it, but it really does not matter much, as any one non-white gets in the door. It will be too bad if this mythical climate change hits places like Ireland, and people try to get asylum in the Third World. I am sure everyone will get a “warm” welcome!

Yes, recent illegals, sorry, poor disadvantaged migrants, who are being housed in swanky hotels, have been enriching New York with renovations, and culture exchanges on the stairs. Of course, these will be Democrat voters, so everything they do is swell for the Left.

The gas stove banning issue has been mentioned at the blog, by I think James reed yesterday, but here is a take from an American mom, who cooks with gas, and has worked in the Florida hospitality industry. The issue of gas stoves causing asthma has been debunked, but of course, the climate change issues always looms large. And once again, the idea of going after gas is a brain child of the World Economic Forum, who are now conducting a war upon fossil fuels. My view is that climate change is only a front here, as the World Economic forum has nothing but praise for communist China, whose carbon emissions are now greater than the West. I think the gas stove issue is a softening up for even worse things to come.

There is little critical material in the Australian scene dealing with the universities, at least from our foundational position. What mainstream material there is deals with issues like pay and conditions, but never with the existential issue of the survive of these institutions, and whether they should survive. By contrast we find more probing material in America, such as a recent Counter-Currents.com piece that uses the metaphor of a fish rotting from the head down to describe the state of the universities in the US, but Australia and the rest of the West follows. In a nutshell: “Primus inter pares would have to be the universities. Think about it: The American university is where, under the watch of craven administrators, the credentialed grievance-mongers and puffed-up moralists assemble and fine-tune the metapolitical machinery. It is a bedlam of “safe spaces,” pronoun options, and psychotic weirdos  elevated as savants. It is where the noxious vocabularies that carry raging pestilences such as “critical race theory,” “transgenderism,” “diversity-inclusion-equity” (DIE), “systemic racism,” “cultural appropriation,” et al. are conjured up and customized at the universities before being carried off to infect the outside world. To experience close-up the fumes of the fish’s rotting head, the best placed to be now is at a university; universities are the fons et origio of much of our current misery.” And, it has been so for some time, at least since the 1960s, with the universities producing all the woke material that now fills the public agenda. It forms the thought patterns that young lawyers, who will be judges are subjected too. And, that is the future. So, you can see my concern with the universities.

This is something that could come up in Australia, so we need to keep our eyes on it. New Zealand, which is now a nasty socialist state, is set to introduce a Therapeutic Products Bill. Natural products are used by a majority of people there, and as detailed by Dr. Guy Hatchard in the discussion below, there is no evidence of any significant harm to the public by natural products. The same cannot be said about things like the Covid vaxxes, for example. The regulations will even go after some common herbs used in cooking. So, why? As I see it, the reason is once more social control of medicines, to control the alternative natural health movement, which is a threat to Big Pharma. My guess is that this tyranny will continue, so it would be an ide to stock up on natural products and vitamins now before this comes to Australia.

I told a friend, for while somewhat ill, believes in the vaxxes, trusting the health system, that the Japanese government is now so concerned about the skyrocketing numbers of people dying or being injured after the Covid vaxxes, that Japanese researchers have been instructed to investigate the biological mechanisms by which the mRNA vaxxes are producing these ill-effects. Japanese researchers were puzzled about how the corpses of those who had been vaxxed were so warm, about 38 C and beyond, some at 40 C. Normally corpses are quite cold. It is hypothesised that the vax caused a massive inflammation in the body, perhaps causing death and the temperature rises. It will be interesting to see what japan comes up with, as research there seems to be freer than elsewhere.

The climate change hysterics are not ultimately about climate change and the environment. The Western new class proves this point by one the one hand saying that the climate crisis is so bad that here is now only nine years to avert disaster. If this was so then all nations should be taking this seriously. Yet, a free pass for carbon pollution, so called, is given to communist China, which now emits more carbon dioxide than the entire west combined. Surely if there was a climate crisis, then this would not be acceptable. The communist Chinese have said that they will cut emissions once they effectively control the world, in which case, they are going to be unstoppable, if they are not now. Climate change politics in the West has been a major factor in undermining the West.

At first, I thought this one was false news, but no, it is true. The US is moving to the banning of gas cookers. One of the claims is that gas cooking is a health hazard, with a proposed link to asthma. That claim has been rebutted by the American Gas Association; the evidence does not support the claim. The other attack is the climate change angle, which is always being rolled out today. Our American friends who are closer to the coal-face, so the speak, will be looking into this, but banning gas is going to finish off the restaurant industry who depend upon gas cooking, which for some reason I don’t know, is much better than electricity for cooking. It sure is crazy times, and the climate change hysterics go on and on. Probably until the next plandemic. Then it starts up again until the collapse of the West. Or, we, the people, end it.

This is interesting and more than a little ironic. Following the US Supreme Court decision of Dobbs, over-turning Roe v Wade, the pro-abortion case so sacred to the Left and feminism, one of the responses has been for Leftist men to get vasectomies in record numbers. As a Christian I do not wish anyone ill, however silly, but this is done as a political message, to virtue signal. It has the effect though, of lowering the Leftist population. I am not actually weeping over this news.

Professors Norman Fenton and Martin Neil have made the claim in an article that the leading medical journal, The Lancet, is a “laughing stock,” having published a flawed study, of the effectiveness of the Pfizer Covid vaccine on the population of Israel, claiming it was 95 percent effective. Of course, the claim was made in May, 2021, and history has shown that it was false, but the two mathematically trained academics took the paper apart at the time, but their views were not heard. Yet, this is now standard, and only very recently have any scientific papers challenging the established Covid narrative been published, but these few destroy it. And yet, the Covid culture remains doubling down on its program, because it was about political control from the beginning.

There is not much information about this at present, but China is not only getting bases in the pacific islands, but looks like setting up one in Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego province, Argentina, and will probably get it given its socialist government. This is at the bottom of the world. It will give China full access to exploiting Antarctica, and when the time comes, the invasion of Australia. The key argument has always been about maintaining supply chains, but this base and others gets over that hurdle for the communist Chinese military. Australia needs to obtain its own nuclear missiles, as South Korea is contemplating, but the Left will oppose anything beyond complete surrender to the CCP.

Five senior Swedish doctors, the authors who are members of the bio-medico-legal network of the Swedish Läkaruppropet, have issued a statement saying that the Covid vaxxes are revealing dangerous side-effects, and that the programmed rollout must be stopped. At least, at present, they are still able to say this, but in other jurisdiction, more tightly controlled by Big Pharma, this is not so.

Another excellent post by blogger Rebekah Barnett, dealing with the example of Dr Sally Price, who, is one of a number of doctors who have fallen into conflict with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation agency (AHPRA), which is essentially banning any  criticism of the vax cult, on any grounds: “”There is no place for anti-vaccination messages in professional health practice, and any promotion of anti-vaccination claims including on social media, and advertising may be subject to regulatory action.” One would have hoped that there could by now be a High Court challenge of such anti-science regulations, but apparently not so. Further, the culture is a vaxxed one, and there is no guarantee of court success, although the freedom movement has an almost religious faith in judges, which to me, always seemed totally unrealistic, being made by people with no legal experience. Still, the fight must go on, and hopefully education of the masses will generate a critical mass at some point to move the great pendulum of history from its present far Left position.

Former BlackRock equity portfolio manager Edward Dowd, believes that the collapse may begin before the end of 2024. Dr Mercola in a now deleted piece details the New world Order plan to collapse the economies of the West, through a focussed 5^th generation war upon energy and food resources. While the political instincts of movements such as ours is to wage a political fight, this will not be an over-night victory, for presumably this battle has been going on for decades, if not centuries, and the globalists are now doubling down on everything. Hence there needs to be a plan for personal survival, an that should resonate with our individualism too. Thus, one needs to secure a water supply, perhaps rainwater, something that cannot be turned off in the blink of an eye, and stockpile food. Dr Mercola gives an account of the sorts of healthy sustainable foods which can be got now, and should be got before inflation erodes away purchasing power too much. The idea is to put away food, which is able to be stored long term, without refrigeration, such as dry goods, and canned food. Those with more money could get freeze-dried foods, but hat is not essential. What is essential, is having stuff. Also, medicines, both prescription and non-prescription should be obtained, and even the major supermarkets have a good array of this, but also check out the discount vitamin stores. Once one has this security, do one’s best to inform others of the coming super-storm. Dr Mercola offers health and financial advice; the disclaimer is made that no health/financial advice is offered here, only material for information purposes only.

The US is a case study, applicable to the rest of the West, about why the government, law enforcement and intelligence communities cannot be trusted. It has been confirmed by the mainstream media, for what that is worth, that the CIA, for example, was behind campaigns to defeat the Trump re-election. Before the election day, 51 former intelligence officers, most being CIA, signed a letter saying that the Hunter Biden laptop revelations of Biden family corruption was a Russian misinformation campaign. “Not one of the 51 had seen any material from the laptop or bothered asking for it, but their letter, instigated by, signed and delivered to Politico by Democratic operative and former John Brennan aide Nick Shapiro, killed the story stone dead. It got candidate Joe Biden off the hook for the corrupt influence-peddling scheme his family had been running through the eight years of his vice presidency.

The shameful letter was used by Joe Biden three days later, on October 22, to deflect Trump’s attack in their last debate.” Trump should have been able to counter this if he had a brain, instead of an inflated ego, like so many boomers.
