I have been saying this for years, that the universities are evil institutions that need to be shut down, and higher education completely rethought and reformed. I am pleased to see that former philosophy professor, Peter Boghossian, agrees with the thesis that universities are completely flawed, being brainwashing centres. He should know, having come into direct conflict with forces of woke through his many trolling papers attempting to show the absurdity of much of the contemporary Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, so called. Our institutions are so corrupt right now,” says Boghossian. “College campuses are echo chambers; students not only don't hear the other side of the issue, but they think they're better people because they don't, so it's an indoctrination mill — a social justice factory.”

After his academic position ended, he now travels to campuses putting his case, and he has made the point that people should stop donating to universities, as well as to come to the campuses for a challenge. He seems to think reform is possible, but I do not. State funded universities will get by with government funding and international student fees. And visiting the campuses for a direct confrontation will lead to security getting the police, or young socialist thugs attacking.

Sanjeev Sabhlok, an economist, has done tremendous work criticising Australis’s public health system, in the light of Covid:  https://ph.sabhlokcity.com/ . Recently he spoke at the Australians for Science and Freedom Conference at the University of NSW, and he delivered the basis of his paper, “The Ugliness, Evil and Impossibility of Public Health.” His position is that “Australia’s Covid response wasted more than a trillion dollars on lunatic policies based on panic - and nobody has been held to account.”

The disease had an infection fatality rate of  0.03 percent for those under 60, and for this reason alone, there should not have been lockdowns. But there was, with enormous social and economic costs that are still being felt by many, whose lives and businesses were destroyed. The useless economic models that were used to justify the lockdowns were all flawed, not adequately considering costs. “The pandemic policies being pursued in Australia – particularly in Victoria – are the most heavy-handed possible, a sledgehammer to kill a swarm of flies. These policies are having hugely adverse economic, social and health effects, with the poorer sections of the community that don’t have the ability to work from home suffering the most.”  “Governments should have also realised at the outset that they are hostage to chronic groupthink and actively sought alternative advice. I attempted repeatedly to raise my voice within my public sector role, but my attempts were rebuffed. The bureaucracy has clamped down on frank and fearless, impartial advice, in a misplaced determination to support whatever the government decides.”

On my farmer, I keep it pure and organic, with no use of insecticides or weedicides. Certainly, no Roundup. I remember well meeting a professional sprayer who told me that sprays like Roundup were fine, and he once drank some to show some doubter how safe it was. Well, I never believed him, but it does show the mind set of someone brainwashed by Big Agri.

Just ask the three plaintiffs in Missouri, who have won over US $ 1.5 billion, yes, billion, over the issue of Monsanto Roundup causing their cancer. This is not the only case of this nature that Monsanto has lost -  it has lost four cases this year, but this is the largest. The case will be appealed and if it goes to the US Supreme Court, damages are likely to be reduced, if the plaintiffs win.

It is very much a toss up as to which country, Sweden or France, will plunge to full-on social collapse first. Another article by me at the blog today discusses Sweden’s crime and gang explosion, usually literally, given the sheer number of bombs and hand grenade attacks. But for France, as Marine Le Pen has said, lawlessness, which is powered by mass immigration, threatens to tear the country apart.

Commenting upon the recent stabbing murder of a 16-year old white male, Thomas, Le Pen said that the French people feel that no-one is safe. Gangs stab people at will, even if they have had nothing to do with them. “A new threshold has been crossed. We are witnessing an organized attack, emanating from a certain number of criminogenic suburbs in which there are armed “militias” carrying out raids,” she said.

At the moment there is a bit of a lull in the Israel-Palestine War, as a prisoner/hostage exchange begins. But after that time out, no doubt it will be back to kinetics. This conflict is unlikely to just fizzle out, and escalation seems inevitable. If that is true, what follows for the West?

I came across one substack, and based upon a X post, that detailed the worst-case scenario if both the US and Iran become directly involved. Iran would certainly close the straits of Hormuz, disrupting oil passage. The OPEC countries may put on an oil embargo. Consequently, the price of oil, and hence petrol skyrockets, which in turn turbo changes inflation, as everything goes up in price.

Good news! Good news! First it was Javier Milei, the libertarian anti-globalist becoming president of Argentina. Now in Holland, Geert Wilders has won the Dutch elections. Wilders has been a strong critic of mass migration of the diverse, and of globalism. He has got into hot water with the EU race police, and is banned from travelling to Britain, which is now an absurdity, since a Western country now has a ban on an elected prime minister entering the country, if the 2009 order is still holding:

To see the joys of multicultural diversity at work, one need go no further than Sweden, once a white Nordic country, now fast working itself towards extinction. At the 11^th hour Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson is worried about things like, “execution-style shootings carried out by “child soldiers,” apartment buildings rocked by bombings, innocent relatives targeted in vendettas,” and unending war between rival gangs, shooting it out with AK 47 assault rifles. And the gangs are getting children to carry out executions, as this allows the adults to escape penalties.

The BBC have recently published a piece where they quoted, unnamed and unsourced research, allegedly showing that from an examination of skeletons, Black women were more likely than Whites to have died from the medieval plague, all due to, wait for it, “structural racism”! The analysis apparently looked at bone and dental fragments. But, that would be inadequate to determine the race, of the samples, but determination of the sex could be done by forensic dentistry depending on the quality of the samples. And furthermore, there were very few Blacks in 14^th century Britain anyway, not enough, if any, for such a comparison, so the analysis does not get off the ground.

It may have been a trolling of the BBC, but organisations like this are so woke now that things like this just get through.

Many of us have said that the Covid plandemic mandates were a softening up process for what is to come, as the globalists push ever onwards to their one world government New World Order. Dr Robert Malone at his substack develops this case.

The United Nations and World Health Organization have become globalised administrative entities from powers given to them by sovereign states from regulations and multilateral agreements. And there is even more to come in this globalisation of public health, with the pandemic treaty to be finalised in May 2024, if not defeated. Not only with health, but in matters relating to world’s economy, migration, monetary and financial systems, digital IDs, environment, agriculture, wages, and climate change policies, we find the UN and associated organisations, aiming for centralised control, to produce what Dr Malone calls a globalised command economy.

A nice article had appeared a little while back at the American Thinker.com. addressing just one mainstream media publication promoting climate change alarmism. The article that is criticised was in The Hill, a pretty much Democrat sympathetic publication, that in the past has even taken climate change alarmist pieces from Australian authors. Glenn C. Altschuler, “Climate Deniers Are Entitled to Their Own Opinions but Not Their Own Facts,” has given a concise outline of what the contemporary climate change believer takes as their faith, and a refutation is then offered.

The claims made by the climate change faithful are extraordinary when given sober rational consideration. Such as, the year 2023 is likely the hottest year in 100,000 years. How is this known, when no-one was around with thermometers to measure temperatures then? And as noted below, even for contemporary times when thermometers were being used, the claim is just wrong. Still, it gets the attention for dramatic effect.

Coming right up fast, across the world, unless there is mass public pushback, are carbon passports for international travellers, and perhaps after that, carbon passports to even travel between states. Various climate change alarmist advocates have championed the idea that "personal carbon allowances" in the form of carbon passports would vastly reduce the number of international flights that people could make, thus reducing their carbon footprint from air travel.

While the privacy and social control aspects of such proposals have been given a lively internet discuss, the first issue of concern here is that such measures will severely impact upon the world tourism industry. Tourism now is heavily committed to people being able to make use of air plane travel; while sea is possible with luxury cruises, most people simply want to visit a country like say Australia, see the sights, then go home back to work. There is no time for long transport ventures. Thus, along with the winding down of agriculture, the closing of farms, as seen with the Netherlands, the carbon passport will virtually guarantee the end of tourism, creating even more unemployment. But, that is the plan.

It is not just me noticing it, that there is something fundamentally wrong with Beijing Albo’s China policy. As noted by Strategic Analysis Australia Director Michael Shoebridge, to get a handshake to Xi, “Albanese ended two winning World Trade Organisation cases, one on barley and the other on wine … which would have formally established that China uses trade as a weapon,” Mr Shoebridge told Sky News contributor Steve Price. “He has reversed his position on Darwin port, leaving it in the hands of a Chinese operator. “The biggest price he’s paid so far just to get to Beijing is silence on China’s increasingly dangerous military encounters with our Australian military and everybody else in the world.”

A brief note to draw people’s attention to a case that has been made in the Federal Court of Australia by Dr. Julian Fidge, a general practitioner and practice principal for Docker Street and South Wangaratta Medical Clinics, and argued by his lawyers, Katie Ashby-Koppens and Julian Gillespie. The case is based upon the allegation that Pfizer and Moderna’ mRNA vaccines contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and DNA contamination. The case originally revolved around issues of genetically modified material, both companies' alleged failure to obtain the necessary GMO licenses and their lack of transparency with respect to the nature of the vaccine’s contents. But now the case has incorporated evidence from across the world that synthetic DNA contaminants are in the mRNA vaccines. The issues now relate to the possible impact of these contaminants upon the human genome, cancer and genetically based diseases. If the case is decided for Dr Fidge, it will rock the health establishment, and they deserve to be rocked and rolled!

The prediction has been made by geopolitical analyst Martin Armstrong, that with widespread global conflicts erupting across the world, with the Middle East being the latest, and intensifying each day, and with the open southern US border allowing terrorists to enter the US, which even the woke FBI predicts will lead to terrorist attacks across the US, martial law could be seen in the US. By implication, it is possible that martial law could be put into place in other Western countries including Australia, depending upon circumstances, such as if in the Chinese invasion of Taiwan, a nuclear bomb strike is made on the US military base of Pine Gap. The public panic will then be even greater than at the beginning of the Covid plandemic.

Regarding the US, I think Armstrong is spot on in saying that the Biden regime wants terrorist attacks upon the US so that under the guise of martial law, they will be able to pursue things in their agenda that are now more difficult to achieve, like the total banning of private firearms: ““You have Neocons pushing for war on all possible fronts. . . . Terrorism leads to lockdowns.  As soon as you start getting this, they will have to know what everybody is doing and where they are moving.  You are looking at ‘Papers, Please.’  . . . . Lockdowns are coming to America again, absolutely.  This is to prevent civil unrest.  So, they want the terrorists to blow up some stuff.  This gives them the excuse to effectively enforce martial law. . . . This helps the government to hold onto power.”

Leading China critic Gordon Chang has noted that Western countries with near open migration, non-discriminatory policies have, and still will, allow terrorists and saboteurs to enter their countries.  This was seen with the so-called refugee intakes into Europe from 2015, which led to terrorist attacks, and violent sexual assaults of white women, that still goes on relentlessly. But the present open US southern border is at yet another order of magnitude of a disaster.

The Biden administration, in its desire to beef up Democrat voters, but more keenly to produce the swift demographic replacement of the white population by non-whites, who they think may be more easily controlled in their socialist dictatorship, is allowing “strategic engineered migration” to occur by countries like Venezuela, who have been using migration as a weapon of attack against the United States.

We see the open contempt that the Davos elites have for we, the ordinary people, where at their talkfests they always have an anti-meat, let the people eat insects, grubs and bugs speech by some mousey academic type, while the tribe feasts on meat, and gets special services from prostitutes shipped in for the event.

This could be the beginnings of a disturbing development in the erosion of the rule of law in the West. We have seen in the US that the antifa Leftist rioters of 2020, were generally set free by Soros-funded District Attorneys, while the January 6 MAGA Trump protesters were treated harsher than any prisoners have been treated since the Civil War, with many being tortured in prison, and denied due process of the law. Yet beyond even the race issues, we now are seeing the rule of law being rode over in the name of climate change extremism.

After the No side won the Voice referendum there has been a push by the defeated Yes side to still press on with the agenda of a treaty and an extremely disturbing truth telling commission. There has been more discussion of the treaty than the truth telling commission, but both are clear threats to liberty and property.

The treaty will roll into place the disaster that has been seen in New Zealand, with a highly racialized politics, as well as some sort of reparations. How this loot will be divided from the money of the long-suffering tax payer, has not been detailed, let alone telling us who actually is an indigenous person to receive reparations. And the South African-style truth commission will simply be an institutionalised version of what is done at the universities to denigrate British settlement and the entire foundation of Australia. All paid for out of our taxes!

A recent paper in Science Advances throws a spanner in the climate change alarmist works, something we are keen to do at the blog, since this is the core agenda promoting the shutting down of farms (as in the Netherlands and Ireland) and the movement away from the secure energy source of fossil fuels. One of the planks of the climate change alarmist position has been that plants will cease to be what is called carbon sinks, absorbers of carbon, and become carbon emitters. Yet the research has shown now that plants will absorb 20 percent more carbon dioxide by the end of the century than previous predicted! This means that the climate change models being used by the UN and others like the World Economic Forum are off, since they have failed to account for a huge photosynthesis factor. And the conclusion to be made is that the UN models have over-estimated the extent of climate change.

Within the climate change alarmist paradigm, this is a huge blow. Of course, all the parties at the debate here accept the assumption that human-caused climate change is occurring, but the evidence that even from this paradigm that it is an exaggeration, is still useful to us critics seeking to save Western industry, jobs and out life style from a dark fate of returning to cold, barren caves.     

According to the mainstream climate change alarmist position, carbon dioxide increases since the industrial age, are causing untold dangerous events, such as the melting of the poles, especially Antarctica, which is mostly ice on a land mass, rather than free-floating ice, so that if the land-based ice melts, catastrophic sea level rises will occur. Or, so the story now drummed into every school child goes.

However, there is a major problem here. A paper just published in Science Advances, “Early Sea Ice Decline Off East Antarctica at the Last Glacial–Interglacial Climate Transition,” has shown that ice core and other geophysical data indicates that in the past a rise in carbon dioxide levels occurred a substantial time after, not before warming periods. Worse, for the mainstream climate change position, a vast amount of melting occurred in Antarctica from 21,000 to 19,500 years ago, which around 2,000 years before the local Antarctica climate started warming by up to 8°C. This in turn led to a rise of CO₂ of 80 parts per million (ppm). In other words, increases in carbon dioxide are effects, not causes of climate change.
