There has been what the media are reporting an anti-ageing breakthrough. As usual the research has been with simple organisms, in this case yeast cells. The researchers were able to increase the lifespan of the cells by interfering with a “toggle switch” in the cells that controlled cell life, by causing the cell to switch between two ageing pathways, and in effect not being able to make up its mind what to do. It is hypothesised that the same process could be done in other organisms. It is a long shot to think that this, while interesting, is presenting some sort of fountain of youth for humans. Yeast are a fungus, and a much simpler organism than any animal. It is not known if the switching trick would work in an animal organism, or even plants, and if there could be cancer effects from it, actually lowering lifespan. So, the claim “I don’t see why it cannot be applied to more complex organisms,” remains unjustified.

Rebeka Barnett, who has the very good Dystopia Down Under substack, has an excellent article on the issue of long Covid, something which the mainstream medical profession seems to have an explanation of the astonishing excess mortality, and the “died suddenly” phenomenon. The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines long COVID as, “the continuation or development of new symptoms 3 months after the initial SARS-CoV-2 infection, with these symptoms lasting for at least 2 months with no other explanation.” That is a broad and vague definition that Barnett points out, with 200 different symptoms. Thus, almost anything could be put into the long Covid category, so long as one had Covid. The problem here Barnett points out is that there are no studies showing that there is not the projected connection between having had Covid, and so-called long Covid.

Elon Musk is right; forget about all the nonsense of a population bomb; the real problem is depopulation, and of all things, it is the existential concern, because it is really about long-term extinction of the human race. It is as stark as that; across the world, over all races and places, people are not having children at, or beyond the net reproductive rate. By 2050, the average woman will have only 2.1 children, compared to 3.1 in 1950. That includes Africa and South America well. Europe is predictably much worse; France had the highest fertility rate among the EU member states with 1.84 live births per woman and Malta had the lowest rate with 1.13 live births; the average for the EU as a whole was 1.53. So, as an average birth per woman figure of 2.3 is needed to prevent extinction, without some radical turnaround, the human race goes extinct.

Of course, the problem here is modernity, which is the force producing contraception via the pill, and hence the women’s lib. position. That system will long collapse first and is likely to in turn reverse all of this nonsense.

Here is an update on the dangerous situation where Sudanese rebel fighters have taken control of a biolab in the capital city of Khartoum. There are apparently a wide range of dangerous viruses in the lab, that could get released, as the lab worker have been forced out, and the normal controls have gone. There does not seem to be reports of gain-of-function research with exotic viruses, but who knows what went on there in a place like this, for it would be the ideal place to try out such bioweaponry adventures. This, like the Ukraine, are good reasons for the need for tight controls upon this sort of research, which is now out of control.

This is a worry; there is a 36 percent chance of artificial intelligence launching nuclear missiles, and hence entering a full-on nuclear war. Fortunately, a bill is being put forward in the US Congress to put at least one human in the chain of events that could lead to a nuclear holocaust. I don’t know about you, but somehow, I think even that leaves much to be desired. As a grassroots type, I feel frustrated about what can be done with these international geo-political situations, where Australia is just such a small fish.

Elon Musk seems to have been reading the Alor.org blog  - wouldn’t that be grand – in his recent takes upon the near-apocalyptic fate the West is facing. For example, apart from his concern with the depopulation agenda, he has also said that the woke mind virus is another existential threat to Western civilisation. The main undermining effects are upon free speech: “I think we need to be very cautious about anything that is anti-meritocratic and anything that results in the suppression of free speech. So, those are two of the aspects of the woke mind virus that I think are very dangerous, is that it’s often very anti-meritocratic, and you can’t question things. Even the questioning is bad.” “I really can’t emphasize this enough, we must protect free speech. And free speech only matters — it’s only relevant when it’s someone you don’t like saying something you don’t like. Because, obviously, speech that you like, that’s easy. So, it’s — and it’s — the thing about censorship is that, for those who would advocate it, just remember, at some point, that will be turned on you.”

Here is yet another take on the Tucker Carlson, “sacking,” or displacement issue. Former US Army psychological warfare officer, Scott Bennett thinks that the regime has an agenda of maintaining an “uninformed semi lobotomized quasi retarded population.” Nice turn of phrase, that. That is no doubt part of it as well as everything else we have reported upon. Still, this function of Tucker Carlson was known long ago, so while it would be an ultimate explanation, the proximate cause would be his attack upon Big Pharma, and other sacred cows.

Things are certainly moving along on the road to Covid justice.  Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton plans to investigate whether Big Pharma misrepresented the efficacy and safety of the Covid vaccines and manipulated vaccine trial data, and whether gain-of function research was engaged in. According to a statement tissued by the Texas Attorney General: “The catastrophic effects of the pandemic and subsequent interventions forced on our country and citizens deserve intense scrutiny, and we are pursuing any hint of wrongdoing to the fullest,” Paxton said in a statement. “This pandemic was a deeply challenging time for Americans. If any company illegally took advantage of consumers during this period or compromised people’s safety to increase their profits, they will be held responsible. “If public health policy was developed on the basis of flawed or misleading research, the public must know.”

Texas now joins out beautiful state of Florida in investigating the perils of the Covid Vaxxes. 

Professor Thorsten Polleit has given an extensive review of the drive to put into place, very soon, the globalists hope, a one-world fiat world currency. Naturally, as with free trade, the conventional economists can roll out arguments for such a currency, in terms of efficiency for Big Capitalism. The point to be made is that such as program would be laying down the foundations for democratic, so-called socialism, as it would overcome typical national resistance by other routes. The EU is an example of how, once financial autonomy is surrendered, national autonomy is the next to go.

If Ron DeSantis runs for president, I will vote for him, as he has done enormous good for Florida, my home state. But if he does not, I am, perish forbid, considering a Democrat vote, for Robert Kennedy Jr. Unlike Trump, who still says that he is the father of the Covid vax, and by implication, father of the deaths and adverse effects, Kennedy fought, and is still fighting the vax tyranny, and wrote the best-selling book exposing Dr Fauci himself, The Real Anthony Fauci, (Skyhorse, 2021). The measure of how he is now being considered a problem from the Left, something that the system apparently did not consider, focussing full venom upon Trump, is seen in how an interview with the ABC was censored when he spoke of the vax. But, Kennedy is a sharp lawyer, and just happened to notice that censoring a presidential candidate in this way violates federal electoral law. So, go sue them; nothing teaches anyone a better lesson than being sued!

It is the endgame of multicult diversity and ethnic power, as Ireland is set to eliminate free speech. The Incitement to Hatred and Hate Crime Bill, will be the strongest in the woke West, and vaguely worded, deliberately, so that “hate” will encompass anything the globalist regime does not like. Just see what their lawyers do with it. There is no reason why vaccination criticism could not fall under this, given the narrative during the Covid plandemic, that opponents to the vax were white supremacists, even if they were Black or Asian.

The West has fallen into a real pandemic, a pandemic of white pathology where things like this occur as multicult business as usual. The Great Replacement is not just of white people, but is of all the institutions and cultural products whites created.

No doubt, everyone who is not dying, or has an adverse Covid vax event, is suffering from Covid fatigue. However, the health authorities, at least here in Britain, are moving back into Covid panic mode with the latest Covid variant, Arcturus (sharing the name of the brightest star in the northern sky), technically known as XBB.1.16. the variant is also present in Australia, and across the West, due to globalisation, naturally. Here in Britain, although there have been few adverse cases, the health authorities leave no stone unturned for a good freak-out, and are urging for more booster shots, and a return to masks on public transport. According to Professor Robert Dingwall, who advised ministers on the virus during the Covid pandemic: 'We have to stop jumping at every new Covid variant that comes along unless there is solid evidence that we have poor immunity to it.' 'We need to be treating Covid like any other flu-like illness. The influenza virus also changes fairly regularly but it is not headline news.”

That is sound scientific advice, but there is more to Covid than science, it is pure political power.

Here is more on the so-called sacking of media powerhouse Tucker Carlson by Fox. The hypothesis is that tucker has not been sacked at all, but still has his contract with Fox news. The story goes that fox is still holding him to neutralise his influence up to the 2024 election. I wonder how the lawyers will deal with this, it seems tht there must be some legal loophole.

It is well worth viewing the video that Steve Kirsch has with neurologist Suzanne Gazda, who discusses the neurological health of her 4,000 patients. She says that the vast majority of these patients are worse after receiving the Covid vax. What is also of interest is that she outlines a way of experimentally testing the neurological effects of the vax, using a test called NeuroQuant test, done on an MRI machine. Kirsch, as a millionaire is willing to fund research using the test, which just shows what can be done if one has money instead of operating at the chook raffle level. We will see if he has any takers.

Democrat presidential candidate   Robert Kennedy believes in the occurrence of human-caused climate change, he is after all a liberal, but a rational one, something rare. Thus, even given his belief in global warming, climate change and all that jazz, he recognises that climate change like Covid, is being exploited by the globalists, such as Bill Gates and the World Economic Forum, to bring in, what we call the New world order, and what he calls a top-down controlled totalitarian society. “They’ve given climate chaos a bad name, you know, because people now see that it’s just another crisis that’s being used to strip mine the wealth of the poor and to, you know, to enrich billionaires and I for 40 years, have had the same policy on climate and engineering, you can go check my speeches from the 1980s and I’ve said, the most important solution for environmental issues, not top-down controls, is free market capitalism,” Kennedy said. As president, this may not be too bad, as he will take the line that there needs to be more efficient use of resources, rather than crazy things like outrightly banning fossil fuels and meat.

Here is a new one from the wonderful world of woke: transabled. These people had what we might call a “healthy” body (itself regarded as a social construction), like being able to see, or having two arms. Thus, feeling out of place in such a body, we have cases of these unfortunates deliberately blinding themselves to be blind, or cutting off their own arms, to join the blissful camp of amputees. 

During the Covid freak-out we learnt to live without GPs. I experienced having to have phone consultations as the doctors were to scared to attend the usual clinics, I suppose, even with their N95 face masks. But, with rapid advances in AI, while I am well-aware of the strong negative effects, perhaps one positive would be that we will be able to consult Dr AI. Given most GPs I have seen, moving to a robot will be a vast improvement. Sure, the algorithms will be geared to support Big Pharma, but flesh and blood doctors are no different; perhaps worse, being open to little “gifts” as well. And, given the Medicare situation, where it is necessary to make a full prior payment before Medicare does its reimbursement (too bad if you need medical attention, but don’t have the money in the account), it may actually improve medical services. It could not be worse.

With the push by the globalists and their puppets, the Left environmentalists, to force us plebs to abandon meat and eat insects, and who knows what waste, it is good to see a reply by scientists, that meat servers an important dietary role for humans. Poor people would struggle to get adequate protein without meat; sure, vegans can do it, but it costs money. Meat has most of the vitamin B12 intake in human diets, supplies retinol, omega-3 fatty acids and minerals such as iron and zinc, as well as important compounds for metabolism, such as taurine and creatine, and a host of other nutrients, not so easy to get solely from plants. While it can be done, it requires knowledge and money that poor people usually lack. Thus, the attack upon meat will severely effect the health of the poorest people, both in the West, and in the developing, or undeveloped world.

The question of why the Left hate Tucker Carlson so much, is a distinct one from why Tucker actually got sacked. In fact, there is a school of thought that holds that Tucker was not sacked in the sense of “you’re fired,’ but merely removed from air, and held on contract to be neutralised. Still, whatever the reason for the neutralisation, it seems, as detailed below, that the Left have the same derangement syndrome about Tucker, that they do with Trump. On this basis it is wise to conclude that the same psychosis is at work; that anyone opposing utterly anything, in any shape or form, contrary to the big Agenda of leftism, must be regarded as totally evil. Hence apart from a few sensible leftists, such as Dr Naomi Wolf, and Robert Kennedy Jr., the whole ship of fools, is, well, a ship of fools, destined to strike the icebergs of cold reality anytime now. Meanwhile, I hope the likes of Tucker will keep on trucking on.

This is the next big concern, coming up fast. If we can trust Russian sources, and of course claims by both sides must be taken not just with a grain of salt, but a truck load, or even an entire salt mine, bioweapons research is going at full speed in the Ukraine. This time, the heat has been turned up. Russia's Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense Troops concluded: "The United States aims to develop a universal genetically engineered biological weapon capable of infecting not only people, but animals as well as agricultural crops. Its use involves, among other things, the goal of inflicting large-scale and irreparable economic damage on the enemy," the commission wrote in its final report.

"The covert and targeted use of such a weapon in anticipation of a positive inevitable direct military confrontation could create a significant advantage for US forces over the adversary, even against those who possess other types of weapons of mass destruction," the commission added. "The possession of such highly effective biological weapons creates, in the view of the US military, the real prerequisites to change the nature of contemporary armed conflicts."
