US political analyst Peter Zeihan has devoted a YouTube video to the coming economic plight of Australia. There is an extract and transcript below, but the short version is that Australia has been mainly a producer or raw resources such as minerals, a hole in the ground, without developing the industries and infrastructure for value-added. It has tied its fortunes to communist China.

Zeihan sees, as I do, conflict, if not war with China in the future, eroding this resource supply relationship. It will mean that the Australian economy will face its greatest crisis, and there will be a need to rebuild industries that have been left to rot in the quest for mass immigration to artificially generate growth. He sees Australia as about forty years behind time, which means our crisis when it hits will be a shocker. The video is well worth viewing.

The Left-wing Guardian has detailed how at present AI is being used to make workplaces even more miserable than usual. Staff may be fired without human intervention, solely by the action of algorithms; toilet breaks are monitored; performances are monitored, recorded and graded, and overall, the workplaces are being transformed into something out of 1984. Amanda Ballantyne, director of the AFL-CIO’s technology institute, has noted: “In sectors where performance monitoring and algorithmic management are present, you can have a lot of negative impact.” “If you dive into a sector like Amazon, many workers wear wearables that track every movement their body makes, everywhere they go, how fast they complete tasks, how long they’re off task, how long they take in the bathroom. It’s [scientific management] on steroids.”

Unions in Europe are fighting to oppose the dire consequences of such technology, which can lead to unfair pay cuts and firings, but less progress has been made in the US and Australia. This is fair enough, but it is all a thin edge of a very thick wedge, since the aim of the technocrats will be replacement of as many jobs as possible by advanced AI, even for humble things like the fast food industry. See extract number two below about the development of robots that can look and learn human jobs, then replace the humans.

Their ABC has reported on the present state of the Australian universities, facing hard times, or so they say. The article says that the tertiary sectors disillusionment with the Liberals helped get the Albanese government into power, who undertook a review of the Australian  universities, in the Australian University Accord. And according to the article: “The Accord panel, led by Professor Mary O’Kane, was tasked by the Minister of Education, Jason Clare, to prioritise participation by disadvantaged groups. It focused on First Nations People, lower socio-economic groups, people with disability, and those from rural, remote, and outer suburban communities.” Yes, just the things to compete with communist China, or is that the plan, to surrender to politically correct ideology?

So, in short it is all about woke and how to get woker. What we need is something much more radical and rational, since the universities have been the engine for mass international student numbers that have helped create a national housing crisis. These citadels of evil need to be closed down and education rethought in national interests, not to serve the Great Replacement of traditional Australia. The universities are a curse upon the land, whose time has long passed in the information age.

The Age has reported that a group of 120 medical professionals have sent a letter to the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), on the gender agenda issue. They warned that “blurring the lines between biological sex and gender identity on medical forms and in research threatens” their ability to collect accurate data and “can lead to serious medical errors.”’ Cases from the US are cited where medical care has had disastrous results because people presented as being of a sex which they were not. One such case is a person who self-presented as male to emergency, and who was treated for various causes related to male issues of abdominal pain and high blood pressure, but who was pregnant, and ultimately had to have the foetus removed as it had died during the mistaken procedures.

Now, while it seems like a good idea to inform the NHMRC of these problems, that government organisation is concerned with medical research and grants:

Nation First has made an interesting point worth noting here about the AI threat. While it can be argued that AI has not surpassed human intelligence just yet researchers are attempting to make AI using human brain tissue. Work on this Dr Frankenstein idea is occurring in Australia with complete disregard of the moral consequences, as seems to be the standard now with AI research. The justification is that we are in a new type of  arms race with China and Russia, who do not care a jot abut morality, so unless the West does this research, it will be done by the enemies, who will use it against the West.

I call this the AI very slippery slope. It seems a real and present danger with no easy solution since it is a fact that communist China and Russia will not be constrained by moral or theological considerations. This situation is known as the parable of the tribes:

A former senior intelligence analyst at the Office of National Assessments, Dr David Wright-Neville, has said in a radio interview that the threat of terrorism, which for a time was decreasing, is now increasing. “I really think we’re on the cusp of some very unpredictable and dangerous events in the world.” Where is the threat coming from? A variety of sources he thinks, ranging from Islamic extremists, to extremist right-wing groups, Christian fundamentalist groups, extremist environmental groups, and the like. There is a list of terrorist attacks in Australia in the extract below, and as I read it, most of the terrorists are, well, multicultural.

Jo Nova, who has a great site debunking received mainstream “science” baloney, notes that the idea of a 99 percent consensus on climate is a myth which has been taken apart by one group of researchers. It seems the key paper that churned out the 99 percent figure that the media slings around, is methodologically flawed, as the authors did things like group together papers that were neutral on climate change as being positive! That is a glaring error, if “error” it is, so why didn’t the scientific community point it out as soon as the claim was made?

Worse yet, what has consensus to do with scientific truth? Science should be about data and evidence, which does not depend upon groups of scientists behaving like, well, troops of primates, or packs of dogs. Good grief, at least be human ye so-called pursuers of truth!

Jo Nova has a great piece continuing the critique of electric vehicles. Apart from pushing the idea of being green and energy efficient, electric vehicle are said by their proponents to be more robust than conventional fossil fuel vehicles. Anyone who has use battery-powered tools, such as brush cutters, would know that the petrol versions are tougher, and with all tools, things always go wrong, and if it happens that the battery has a problem, well that is big money for repairs. Same thing with electric cars. Jo minces no words on the multitude of problems electric vehicles bring: “EV’s cost more to fuel, take longer to arrive on long distance journeys. They sometimes burn down ships, destroy airport carparks, and kidnap drivers. They are a national security risk, and a burden on electrical grids. Because they are heavier they create more potholes, wear out tyres faster, increase road noise and air pollution (from tyre particles). They also increase wear and tear on bridges and multistory carparks.” What monster’s!

And it is not just her saying this; she quotes from CBC News that reports that from a survey of US owners, EVs have 80 percent more problems that conventionally fuelled vehicles. Indeed, if it was not for the globalist climate change conspiracy, EVs would not be an issue.

Australia’s mass immigration program is the greatest Ponzi scheme of all time.  A Ponzi scheme can be defined as follows:

“A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that pays existing investors with funds collected from new investors. Ponzi scheme organizers often promise to invest your money and generate high returns with little or no risk. But in many Ponzi schemes, the fraudsters do not invest the money. Instead, they use it to pay those who invested earlier and may keep some for themselves.

The latest Covid variant, JN.1, was first detected in the U.S. in September 2023. By mid-December 2023, it accounted for about half of all Covid cases in the US and once again the vaccine mania was stoked up. Cases are on the rise in the U.K., China and India. According to the USS CDC, JN.1 may be more transmissible and has the ability to evade the immune system.

Vaccinologist Geert Vanden Bossche believes that we are seeing the operation of the concept of “immune refocusing” created by leaky vaccines which do not prevent transmission of the disease. The more boosters that occur, the more immune escape that happens, and by natural selection the new Covid variants get better at evading the human immune system. The more highly vaxxed will be more vulnerable to infection.  This process may produce more dangerous variants of Covid, although the unvaxxed will be likely minorly effected as their innate immune system will still be working.

This is a hopeful sign, just when I had given up all hope in New Zealand, seeing it lost in woke. The previous Labour government did not even give police protection to Posie Parker, who was defending women from the you know what ideology, who faced violence, indicating that the government intended to make an example of her. However, the new government has vowed to end this business, with the elimination of all gender ideology from schools and sports: “Refocus the curriculum on academic achievement and not ideology, including the removal and replacement of the gender, sexuality, and relationship-based education guidelines.”

It is long overdue and hopefully other jurisdictions will follow this wise lead.

For all readers interested in the globalist conspiracy to create a New World Order, the document produced by leading public intellectuals, Michael Shellenberger, Alex Gutentag, and Matt Taibbi, should be fascinating. They detail the release via a whistle-blower, of a mass of documents revealing the existence of a “anti-disinformation” group called the Cyber Threat Intelligence League, or CTIL. The group started with the basis of data experts and intelligence experts, but was taken over by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), CIA and NSA and the Department of Defense. The basic idea here is for the Deep State to use a front private organisation to conduct censorship operations against ordinary citizens who are seen by the Deep State to be engaged in information dispersing activities contrary to their agenda. “The whistle-blower alleges that a leader of CTI League, a “former” British intelligence analyst, was “in the room” at the Obama White House in 2017 when she received the instructions to create a counter-disinformation project to stop a "repeat of 2016."

Over the last year, Public, Racket, congressional investigators, and others have documented the rise of the Censorship Industrial Complex, a network of over 100 government agencies and nongovernmental organizations that work together to urge censorship by social media platforms and spread propaganda about disfavoured individuals, topics, and whole narratives.”

As a reluctant resident of London, I agree that London, once a beautiful city of great cultural significant to the Anglo-Saxon people, is falling down. For a start, the place is now majority non-White, and getting more so each year. It is not uncommon now to go places and find people not even able to speak English, and not caring, as they are cosy and warm in their ethnic enclaves.

But even aside from that, and the crime waves and common knife attacks, business in central London, which is where I work, is in a state of decay as well. Businesses are taxed for rates based upon land value, not on annual profits, and land values have always been evaluated high by the Valuer General, and continue to rise every financial year. Some businesses get hit with a business rate of hundreds of thousands of dollars now, which they simply do not make in the present economic climate.

The year 2023 saw towards its end Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton  initiating legal action against Pfizer under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. His case is that Pfizer made misleading and deceptive statements about the effectiveness of the Covid mRNA vax, and as well, it was active in advocating on-line censorship of criticism of the vaccine. Specifically, Pfizer exaggerated the efficiency of its vax of 95 percent effective, and thus able to end the so-called pandemic, which did not occur. Thus, the claim amounts to the product being defective.

It will be interesting to see where this case goes. While Big Pharma seems to cover itself with statutory protection from vaccine injuries, product liability issues may not be caught by the contracts signed with the federal government. We simply do not know what is in those contracts, as commercial in confidence agreements has prevented any disclosure across the world. That alone should make anyone highly suspicious and skeptical about the vax. If the vax is really so good, then what is here to hide? I guess we are going to see with this law suit.

I came across an article published on October 27 (my birthday) 2018, by E. J. Ludwig, arguing that the UN was seeking to be the world government by 2030, and now while of historical interest, it is spot on in its predictions. That date of 2030 is seemingly an important one for the globalists, with the Agenda 2030 document, to put into place a so-called sustainable development regime by that time, with goals such as the de-industrialisation of the West via climate change policies. This ideology has been reinforced by a climate change narrative pushed by the mainstream media, and influential people, that there is only until 2030 to “save the planet,” that there is a global climate emergency. This narrative is not restricted to just the media but has been taken up by medical journals such as The Lancet, who presently have a large article on this issue.

Perhaps now that the race/immigration replacement issue has been worked over and defeated, the environment is the next issue to be intellectually controlled by the globalist thought regime. While there are still some dissent materials being published, it is likely that things will go the way the race debate went, with leading proponents being totally marginalised, and then cancelled. It remains up to dissent publications online, while they are not cancelled, to get out the critical word. The stakes are high now, as the entire fabric of the West, based upon industrialisation, is under existential threat.

Here, below from Technocracy. News, is a great article giving a concise summary of the dangers posed by Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC). It focusses upon the US situation, but the same points apply to Australia, which in some respects is even further down the path of becoming cashless, and thus a testing ground for the Western world. The article makes the mistake of not noting the important point that the Central Banks, at least in the US and much of the West are privately owned by international finance, and are not government institutions.

News has been quite on the disease/pandemic front. Many of us thought that the health technocrats would whip up public hysteria over the latest version of Covid. There has been a return of masks in some jurisdictions, and some sectors, such as health care workers in the blue states of the US and Western and South Australian hospitals. But, not much more, at least yet. As documented in articles at this blog yesterday, the aftermath of Covid is still with us, with both sudden deaths, turbo-charged cancers and high excess mortality.

We are seeing first-hand what social harms a mass immigration program can do to a nation here in Australia, with a housing an accommodation crisis being produced, with scores of Aussies having to live in tents. The economic aspects of this preoccupy thinking on this topic even by the Dissent Right critics.

But there is a slightly longer-term problem being created with the ethno-racial aspects of this immigration program, for the majority of the hundreds of thousands, soon, millions of replacement level immigrants are non-White, and belong to a nation we may soon be at war with. While individuals are no doubt good hard-working people, the demographic question, one that was raised in 1984 by Professor Blainey, is what happens when these ethno-racial groups out number the rest of Australia?  We are seeing this replacement of Whites in the United States, with California majority non-White, and now Texas, with the entire US set to be majority non-White perhaps in less than a couple of decades. The states always move to the Left, and hence the Democrats. No doubt the Labor Party is doing the same thing here in Australia to secure its future dictator rule.

I have been following and critiquing the climate change ideology since 2005 at the blog/On Target, making this my 19^th year if I got the maths right. Over that time the climate change elites have usually said that each year is the hottest in some many years, usually hundreds. Even if one did believe in the climate change ideology, such proclamations would be needed to be taken with a bag of salt, as temperature records only go back to the 19^th century, and for longer periods, there is scientific guess work based upon theoretical deductions from various theories. So, it is all an uncertain business.

Keeping up the corrupt tradition, the mainstream media has pushed the line that 2023 was the hottest year in the last 125,000 years. But, as detailed below, using various proxy measurements, which it is granted have their uncertainties as well, scientists have found much hotter periods in the past than the present era, between 10,000 to 5,000 years ago. Then, it is conjectured, the average global temperature was 1.5 C higher than the present-day era. On this scenario, the Arctic was ice free. Go back further in the 125,000-time span and both colder and warmer periods can be found.

The takeover of many manual jobs that once supplied work, not all that meaningful for so-called “lower IQ workers” is accelerating, and China has humanoid robots to be available in a few years. But the so-called “higher IQ” jobs are not safe either. The firm Goldman Sachs predicts that AI will swallow up 300 million jobs in the next few years, with most of these being white collar jobs. The emergence of general AI ChatGPT was just an introduction to this. Replacement figures for such jobs vary from 18 to 50 percent over the next decade. The work done by most lawyers, accountants and teachers, could be done much cheaper by AI. If so, the iron law of capitalism, to maximise profits, will ensure that such technology will be widely used. At present fashion modelling can be done using AI created models, who are cheap, and do not complain about working conditions, even if the backdrop scene is freezing cold, or the foot of a volcano.

So what happens to those of us, the vast majority that the World Economic Forum regard as “useless eaters”? The ideal would be the radical transformation of the economy along Douglas social credit lines. Once known, the ordinary people are likely to be accepting of this with the social dividend. But the globalists are going to strongly oppose this, as was done in the past, seeing the obvious threat to their New World Order agenda of total social control.
