Jonathan Sumption is a former Justice of the Supreme Court, and a British medieval historian. He has given a defence of free speech along the lines of the classic liberalism of John Stuart Mill’s On Liberty (1859), where free speech was a necessary condition of individual freedom. If an individual did not have the right to dissent from the mainstream, then his/her individualism would be diminished. Thus, for Mill, if only one individual held to a certain position, it still would be necessary to defend that freedom as there was no certainty that the mob was right.

The climate change fanatics have made a big song and dance about alleged rising temperatures in west Antarctica, as leading to tipping points where ice melts, raising sea levels to dangerous heights. However, the problem here is that west Antarctica is not warming but cooling.  A recent paper in the mainstream journal of the American Meteorological Society, has thrown a spanner, or is it ice cube in the works? Beginning in the early 1990s, temperatures fell by 0.93°C each decade from 1999-2018, a total of 2°C  over the 20 years. In spring temperature fell by 1.84°C every decade between 1999-2018, and in winter, the fall was 1.19°C, which is very significant indeed.

The truth about the Covid vaxxes is slowly getting out, as the sands of time slip down the hour glass, and more people than ever “die suddenly.” Thus, new analysis of the original Pfizer clinical trial data has revealed that sudden deaths were twice as high in the vaxxed group, than they were in the placebo group, those having no vax at all. The data, which has been kept strictly secured had been released as part of a Texas law suit. Researchers at the Health Advisory and Recovery Team (HART) looked beyond the standard view that harms would be uncovered after 28 days, and look a longer term of 60 days, which revealed the sudden death incidence. However, that is not all recently noted on the Covid vax threat front

This is happening in woke Britain, so do not be surprised to see the same thing soon in Australia. NatWest bank has been policing climate change hysteria and the associated oppression, with a “Carbon Footprint Tracker” on its mobile app. This uses transaction data of its customers and then makes suggestions on how to reduce their carbon footprint. In turn this is done by an analysis based on their shopping habits. Thus, suggestions have been made to customers to stop drinking dairy milk, not to buy new items such as clothing, share car journeys, wash clothes in cold water and turn off tumble dryers and heaters. Vegetarianism is actively promoted.

So far, all of this is advisory, but we can see where this will go with Central Bank Digital Currencies, where customers who act contrary to the carbon mania will simply be debanked. 

Ramesh Thakur, an emeritus professor in the Crawford School of Public Policy, The Australian National University, has given an interesting speech arguing that woke, or what was once called political correctness, was the philosophy, or anti-philosophy, enabling the tyranny seen with the Covid plandemic, and the surprising public acceptance of the erosion of liberty and core biomedical principles, such as informed consent.

The core argument is that the ideology of woke, the solidification of radical Leftist deconstructions of Western civilisation, had already attacked and undermined existing knowledge such as the distinction between males and females. If this fundamental truth can be challenged and effectively overturned, then so could existing science and public policies. Along with this agenda is the cult of the expert, technocrats who know best and advise on how to deal with what hey define as a deadly pandemic, contrary to facts. As well, there is the corporate power of Big Pharma, financing the media, and shuffling funds to politician’s’ re-election campaigns.

According to the government, the Optus meltdown that led to much of the large cities grinding to a halt, was not due to hacking, but to a fault in the provider’s core network. That is vague, leading the fault undisclosed and the cause of the fault undiagnosed. Some experts say it may have been due to a software upgrade failure, Everyone is stirring away from the cyber-attack idea which it think is plausible. I note that in the extract from The Australian, below, which I will discuss, it is said: “Australia has been hit by a string of attacks, with Optus and Medibank in the firing line. Russian hackers accessed the health records and other personal information from almost 10 million Medibank customers.” That seems to imply the possibility of a cyber-attack, since a software upgrade is not an attack. And if the authorities could get away with not scaring us, wouldn’t they?

Along with this I note that the government is instigating a no-fault reporting system, where companies will be required to report cyber ransom demands. There has been a 45 percent increase in ransomware attacks in 2023, so this is an indication of he sheer extent of the problem:

I have no evidence beyond a detective-like suspicion, but I would not be surprised to learn that the meltdown of Optus last week was in the end linked to a cyber-attack, which would include internal sabotage. Mere problems arising from software and other blah blahs, does not to my mind explain the extent of the problem, but, I am not an expert, at anything at all, really. However, Optus did have a cyber-attack in 2022, and it has just legally failed to keep secret a report on that. It would be interesting to see, if the report gets in the public domain, any clues that may be in it. The system is nervous about admitting to cyber-attacks as it scares people, as these attacks show that the IT system has feet of clay and is extremely vulnerable if the right nasties target it.

For example, the entire population of the US state of Maine has had their data stolen by on-line thieves. This arose as a ransomware attack that the authorities discovered on May 31 this year. It has impacted upon 1.3 million individuals. And, if it can happen there, it can happen here too.

Dr Peter McCullough has given a concise summary of recent scientific papers documenting what he describes as a cardiovascular disaster regarding people having the Covid vaxxes. While there is still a strong culture of academic suppression regarding the deaths from the vaxxes, there are at least 284 clearly documents deaths from the Covid mRNA vaccines, which Covid vax critics regard as a drop the ocean. But, the criterion for a vaccine recall was less than 50 deaths in the past, a standard that has been ignored with the Covid vaxxes.

Nation First has given a tremendous coverage to the elephant in the room issue that our parliament does not want to address, as to why young Australians are dying at a rate far beyond the norm. The main cause of these “sudden deaths” is cardiac arrest. A study is quoted from the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute in Melbourne showed that out of 1,319 cases of people under 50 dying between mid-2019 and mid-2021, a quarter died from sudden cardiac arrest. That is something that was not observed prior to the Covid vax rollout. Cardiac arrest is now the leading cause of death of people under 50 in Australia. The health “experts” are denying a Covid vax link here, but there is indeed growing scientific evidence, not discussed in Australia, to implicate the vaxxes. This is reviewed in another article at the blog today.

The media coverage last week of the Optus meltdown that left cities almost grinding to a halt, did not focus on the real problem here, not the odd bod not being able to get his coffee. The only real saviours were other networks still working, and cash. Malcolm Roberts has given a superb speech on this issue as illustrating the threat that removing cash and establishing a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) will bring.

The government’s Identification Verification Services Bill itself will make it irresistible for hackers due to the centralisation of data. As Roberts rightly notes: “If the government centralises the private data it collects from citizens, on-sells the records to the commercial market while simultaneously mandating the use of digitised personal records within the economy, it will be installing digital socialism. A digital prison no less. Government and its parasitic billionaire mates want to become the middlemen of all transactions between customers and businesses.”

A preprint scientific study, geared for mainstream publication, reports that the research team examining the mRNA Covid vax has found foreign DNA, genetic material, in the vax; “loads of SV40 enhancer-promoter, ori, and virus spike in Pfizer are up to 186 billion copies per dose," one of the team, said. Cutting the technicalities, some of which are extracted below, the DNA is a contaminant and should not be present. It seems that it may have got into the vaccine by the use of bacteria to produce the mRNA spike protein. While using bacteria in pharmaceutical production is common, foreign DNA is supposed to get removed.

The concern is that the foreign DNA could get mistaken by the body as human DNA and get integrated into the cells, effectively meaning that spike proteins will be produced forever. As well, there are concerns of increased cancer risk. All this is the longer-term impact of the Covid vaxxes, which clearly shows that the Covid issue is not over, by a long shot.

Here is yet another mainstream media report, which confirms the critique that we have been developing at the blog, of the surge in mass immigration impacting negatively upon both inflation and the rental and housing crisis. The impact of overseas buyers of lower-level housing creates a massive crisis for local Australians trying to get rent, or buy a first home, which now is a distant dream, leading to further accelerating declines in the white population. Thus, we may speak of mass immigration policy, which negatively impacts upon young Australians, as a genocidal policy.

However, taking a step back, it seems as well that the local elites are facing a few problems too in the luxury property market, as masses of rich Chinese buyers come to scoop up multimillion-dollar luxury properties across Australia. This is not a great problem compared to the impact that hundreds of thousands of overseas students are having, fuelled by the greed of our evil universities. In a way it is an irony, as while the local rich elites are not threatened with homelessness or to join the growing numbers in tent cities, at least they are paying more for their luxuries. And these elites are part of Big Australia, which is behind the present Great White Replacement immigration policy.

At the blog, James Reed has done a great job, if I may say so, of documenting through reputable sources, the terrible impact that the Labor government’s mass migration, great White replacement policy, is having upon Australia’s rental and housing crisis. To support this, here is an extract from a summary of an article from the Fin Review, which says that Australia has the biggest decline in income in the developed world, because of surging mass immigration and rising mortgage rates. After-tax income for every Australian household has fallen by 5.1 per cent.

 According to ABC finance expert, Alan Kohler, record immigration is fuelling inflation and leading to Australia having higher interest rates. And AMP chief economist Shane Oliver said the present mass immigration, the largest in recent history, was financially hurting Australians:

The “Green paradox,” arises from the present drive in the West for zero net carbon emissions, as policies for carbon reduction in the future accelerate the very carbon-producing activates the Green elites would want to control, as firms hurry to extract as much carbon-producing resources as they can now before the Green reduction guillotine falls on their businesses.

Thus, according to a report by the fanatical climate change alarmist United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and other research institutes, the fossil fuel production planned by countries for 2030 is set to more than double (110 per cent more), the level required by the UN to limit supposed global warming to 1.5^o C. This makes the Paris Climate Accords redundant, as more coal will be produced and used until at least 2030, especially by communist China, who only gives lip service to Western climate change nonsense, while building new coal-fired power stations at a record rate. UNEP Director Inger Andersen said “Governments' plans to expand fossil fuel production are undermining the energy transition needed to achieve net zero emissions, creating economic risks and placing the future of humanity in question.”

Technocracy is the science of social engineering, applied by ruling power elites to maintain and increase their power. As an example of a technocratic adventure, the Covid lockdowns and mandates are a recent highly visible case, where public policy was seemingly dictated by health officials, and globalist agencies such as the World Health Organization (WHO), but behind them was the power of Big Pharma, and the financial interests that control it.

Given the way the plan always comes together for the globalists, with only slight problems along the way that have to be dealt with, such as the failure of the Voice referendum, and the 2016 election of Donald Trump, one may wonder if there is any sort of written plan for the technocratic One World agenda. Here has been much written in a scattered literature, but the document, Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars (1979), which was discovered in 1986, gives an overview up to its alleged date of construction. It details a system of social control of the masses by the elites. A summary, and some historical background is given below.

Any legislation pushed by the pro-censorship, woke Labor government here in Australia, needs to be subjected to intense scrutiny, as one can be sure there will always be some hidden tyranny in it. Thus, the idea floated now is to force smart TV manufacturers to have mainstream/legacy media and state funded outlets’ apps pre-installed on the devices. This is to openly give the mainstream media an advantage over alternative media, which is more likely to be critical of the government’s agendas, which is something quite predictable from the authoritarian Labor regime.

There will be a “manipulated search results for news stories.” As one critic puts it: “the consumer must first be offered the local TV services that provide news content, with priority given to any such local TV services that the consumer has previously accessed.”

The eID (European Digital Identity) regulation has been given provisional approval by the European parliament. With this in the bag, the EU Commissioner for Internal Market Thierry Breton, has said that  CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) integration should now follow. That, of course, was what was behind this digital ID push in the first place.

Dutch EP member (MEP) Rob Roos, who opposed the legislation on the grounds of civil liberties and security issues, while seeing the current decision as very bad, said that as the parliament is yet to vote on the agreement, and is urging citizens to contact their MEPs, tell them they oppose the regulation and to vote against it.

Rupa Subramanya, who is not white, has given an accurate depiction of modern woke, anti-white Britain. Thus, a white man with a working-class Scottish accent was heard to be critical of the take-over and Great Replacement of traditional British culture by Arabic. And for his pains the police arrested him on the charge of “racially aggravated offense,” a violation of the Public Order Act of 1986. Numerous cases like this have even led Suella Braverman, Britain’s home secretary, to say that the police have a double standard, ignoring the threats to public order recent protests have posed. And, the elephant in the room, is the grooming gang scandal whee UK police knew that white British children were being raped on an industrial scale of tens of thousands, but ignored this until it was publicly exposed, all to be politically correct and not dare stir up racism.

Mass immigration has indeed created a diverse, but nightmarish dystopia, far beyond Orwell’s 1984.

When Bill Gate releases a prediction, all gloomy for lovers of freedom, but exciting for One Worlders, we should pay attention. The UN plot to unleashed a global digital ID for 2030, is now beaten by Bill Gate’s campaign to accelerate this, to produce a global ID, without which one would not be able to participate in society, now by 2028, a mere five years to go.

Thus, we have a  push for Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI),  including “Digital IDs,” vaccine passports, and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC), championed by the globalist WEF, the UN, European Union, and Bill Gates among others. These measures are intended to effectively end democracy and liberal freedoms as we know them, just as was done in the trial run with the Covid mandates, which succeed beyond expectations for the globalist elites. The goal then is a full-blooded communist Chinese social credit; system, which will bring in  individual carbon footprint trackers, Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ), and CBDC programmed to restrict purchases that the globalist do not want you to make, such as guns and ammunition.

A. West in The Grip of Culture: The Social Psychology of Climate Change Catastrophism (2023), has developed in detail an argument that has later been made by Elon Musk, that climate change catastrophism is really a death cult. The death part is easy to establish, since that narrative is by definition, concerned with the doom of human civilisation unless radical measures are taken such as the replacement of fossil fuels and meat eating. But the cult or religious part requires more conceptual and empirical work, which is supplied by West in his book, summarised below. He goes into detail about survey data indicating direct links between climate alarmism and religious cults. But, there is a simpler approach.

My approach is more qualitative. I would maintain that the core elements of cults are blind devotion to the central tenants of the cult, the beliefs that define it, even to the point of committing acts of violence. This we see with climate change alarmism. But as well, as with any cult worth its poison Kool Aid, there is a doomsday belief, that the world is heading to disaster unless people start believing in the cult. Climate change alarmism fits this paradigm perfectly, and in this regard, Elon Musk was dead on the money.
