Keith Windschuttle has an insightful piece on China’s global ambitions, that is, to rule the world. He discusses a book by a former People’s Liberation Army officer, Liu Mingfu, who is a thinker  seen to closely articulate the philosophy of Xi. Liu’s book The China Dream: Great Power Thinking and Strategic Power in the Post-American Era (2010, translated 2015), details how China intends to do this. The basic argument is plausible: America is facing internal disintegration, and thus a loss of national confidence. One need only reflect upon the fact that people support a senile old man like Joe Biden to see that this is true.

While here will be war, which Liu believes China will win, China will also win the battle of ideologies: “A new Chinese order, a “China model” of vertical meritocracy with superior leadership and based on what Yan calls “humane authority, sovereign state equality, and non-hegemony” will increasingly outperform Western democracy as the world’s most attractive political system. From Beijing’s perspective, as a new global configuration of “one world, two systems” evolves in the 2020s and 2030s, the “Yalta hegemonic world order” is likely to stagnate and die and to be replaced in mid-century by a new Chinese-led global system with the Orwellian name “The Community of Common Destiny for Mankind.”

My predictions are usually wrong, but I think that the present US bank collapse situation is merely local, and that mopping up operations will supply the appropriate band aids to stop the haemorrhage. Still, some think that this is really the beginning of the end, and if it is, I would not like to think, while rumbling through the rubble, that I did not cover it. Mike Adams, for example thinks that the world financial system is in serious trouble, as shown by the winding up of the cryptocurrency player, Silvergate Bank, which now has a liquidisation plan.  The bank suffered from the impact of a large number of cryptocurrencies going bankrupt, as well as the collapse of FTX, whom Silvergate had on-going dealings with. Thus, people moved to take out deposits, and the deposit base dropped from $ 14.3 billion, to $ 3.8 billion. Thus begun the slide to oblivion.

Senate Banking Committee Chair Sherrod Brown  said “Today we are seeing what can happen when a bank is over-reliant on a risky, volatile sector like cryptocurrencies.” But, Silvergate is only one player among many servicing the volatile cryptocurrency industry, and who knows when the next big crash occurs here.

Here is yet another warning about the coming hard economic times to come, this time from Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus. In the aftermath of the banking collapses he said, that the US is probably in a recession, which, if true, will soon have a kick-on effect for Australia, given its economic connections with America. "I feel bad for all of these people that lost all their money in this woke bank. You know, it was more distressing to hear that the bank officials sold off their stock before this happened. It's depressing to me. Who knows whether the Justice Department would go after them? They're a woke company, so I guess not. And they'll probably get away with it," 

On that he is certainly true; the system will let the major players walk. And, in the short term, that is, months, it is too much to hope for radical financial reform, although we must constantly be working to that, and keeping our eye on that horizon. But the first rule of life, a wise man once told me, is to survive, and I think we need to heed the warnings made by the capitalist elite, who have their fingers on the dying pulse of Western civilisation.

What has happened in the southern states of the US is now happening here in the UK, perhaps at an accelerated rate to catch up in woke. Statues of “older white men,” those who founded the modern nation, are to be torn down, as it offends the diverse. For example, the Welsh government guidelines state that monuments “can be offensive to people today who see them in a different light,” including as “aggressors who conquered peoples to expand the British Empire.” Existing memorials project the “perception that the achievements that society considers noteworthy are those of powerful, older, able-bodied white men.”

I wonder if white Britons will simply take this Great replacement and go quietly into the night, with no rage against the dying of the light, to allude to Dylan Thomas. At least the idea that multiculturalism being about just accepting diversity, under the existing social framework, is decisively refuted.

Most of mainstream science is based upon the thesis of physicalism, that all that exists are physical entities, that can be described without recourse to any non-physical entity. Thus, the origin of life, and the universe, as well as the end of he universe cannot make any valid recourse to God, a non-physical being outside of the system. Thus, there is the theory of biological evolution, and cosmological theories based upon the Big Bang – that matter and energy just existed in a tiny space, then exploded, and ultimately made everything, by chance.

As noted below, there are deep cracks in the physicalist world view, with a possible failure of its cosmological model coming up. But, it is a secular religion of the age, one of its cults being, for example, vaccine worship, so we cannot expect the paradigm to fall too soon. As I  see it, this scientism underlies technocracy, which is based upon an unquestioned faith in science. History may chip away at this, ultimately exposing its bankruptcy.

Gordon Chang, a leading China critic has noted that China is giving clear war signals. Xi Jinping has now set up a war cabinet, and has undertaken other moves, such as the largest military build-up since World War II, and the preparation and mobilisation of the civilian population, putting them on a war footing. Private factories are being taken over by the military, and are now used for military production. The Reservists law has come into effect, securing an even larger PLA force. While all of these war preparations are occurring, both the United States, and the Australian populations are not being prepared at all, but continue in consumer lotus-eating land. This is beyond dangerous, as when war breaks out, populations will be dumb with fear and astonishment, not believing that the comfortable world of cheap, made in China goods, has disappeared.

Here is a warm human-interest story from the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB). the CEO of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), Greg Becker, sold $3.6 million in shares of the financial institution’s parent company several weeks before its collapse. Now, the timing here is perfect, too perfect, so it stands to reason that he could feel what way the foul wind was blowing. And, this all fits a time proven pattern; that prior to some large company going under, those in the know jump ship.

From my counting, three US banks have crashed, but the Federal Reserve  has moved in a bailout, as it looked like panic was developing, and it does not take long in this age of on-line banking, for a cascading collapse to occur. The example of how this contagion can occur, is seen how the impact of the collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank in California, which led to almost £30 billion wiped off their portfolios of British and European Union lenders.  The European-UK banking index saw a one-day decline of 3.8 per cent, with €33.5 billion (£29.6/$35.6 billion) being wiped off their balance sheets. This illustrate how volatile the mainstream financial system is, which totters on collapse. Naturally, the globalist financial elite hope to bring in digital currencies, and a collapse of the banking system would kick start this evil program.

The Japan Times, a mainstream media entity, has reported on a 42-year-old woman who had one jab of the Pfizer mRNA vax, and two hours later, she was dead. She died of acute heart failure, and the health ministry panel reported a “causal link.” Even though there have been almost 2,000 reported deaths in japan, this is the first death to be unquestionably linked to the vaccine. I suppose it was becoming too unrealistic to ignore the deaths, so one is admitted to give the illusion of objectivity.

With there being concern in the US that the banking system might come apart, although the Federal Reserve has stepped in to try and plug the hole in the sinking ship. So, maybe the panic that has started, leading to bank runs, can be stopped, so the chain reaction does not occur. But, even so, there is another dire prediction of the stock market collapsing in a mere 60 days. That has been made by Larry McDonald, leading financial analyst. It is not easy to summarise his view, but in short, he gives a doomsday summary of an over-heated, misfiring economy, that is set to suffer a burn out. Rising interest rates and a credit squeeze, will further impact upon the middle class. "Auto loans right now are approaching 14%, almost 20% of auto loans are one thousand a month, and so the middle-class families are getting hammered here," the expert McDonald said. "So, the consumer pressures are violent, but on the high end, the wealthy are doing well with excess savings and higher interest rates."

We will wait and see how this evolves, but certainly if this crash prediction is true, Australia faces the same cascading collapse, so it would be a good idea to put away a few extra tins of baked beans.

Dr. Francis Boyle, an international law expert,  during a Stop Vax Passports Task Force Webinar, warned that the world Health organization (WHO), is seeking to establish a global medical dictatorship. The international “pandemic accord” currently being negotiated by the WHO, due for a vote as early as May, according to Boyle “will set up a brand-new international organization with powers to issue legally binding orders all the way down … to your primary care physician.”  Given its new power, the WHO will, come the next plandemic, force “vaccinations,” quarantine detentions in concentration camps that Australia has already constructed, and censor of dissenting health information, and dissents. The WHO will have the power in  “directing and coordinating authority on international health work, in pandemic prevention, preparedness, response and recovery of health systems, and in convening and generating scientific evidence, and, more generally, fostering multilateral cooperation in global health governance.”

As has been said many times at the blog, this is highly dangerous, and will erode national sovereignty quickly, bringing in the New World Order, at least within 12 months. As has been said, health is a good one for the globalists to work on as in recent times, many issues, such as race relations, gender issuers, and climate change have been re-defined as health issues.

A shown in videos in the link below, one can see the Dutch military being deployed in The Hague, to enforce the tractor ban in the city, made by farmers to oppose the government closing down farms in the name of the globalist elite’s climate change mania. This example shows that when the crunch comes, the Deep State will call out its thugs against the people.

As George Christensen has argued, events like the closing of farms, is part of a globalist agenda: “This is all part of a plan to gain a monopoly on food production and then significantly start rising their prices to induce a global famine.

Moving on from the banning of farms, the climate change globalists in Scotland, a place which in recent times has become hyper-woke, have now banned inhaled aesthetic gases, such as desflurane. The authorities claim that this and other such gasses, has global warming potential 2,500 times greater than carbon dioxide, so it has to go. England is not far behind, with a ban by early 2024. Now, as I understand it, these gasses are much more efficient as anaesthetics, than the probably injectable alternatives. So, in the name of climate change medicine turns back the clock on surgical anaesthesia. If the elites were really serious about controlling carbon emissions, then reducing free trade would be a better step, but they will never do that.

The Bad Cat, whose site for some reason does not use capital letters, which I think makes it less serious, but someone pretending to be a cat, would not care, makes a very interesting observation about the over-blown nature of pandemics, in particular, the Spanish Flu epidemic that hit during World War I. The odd thing was how the Spanish flu killed otherwise healthy soldiers in a few days, but other people, not so quick, or not at all.  “The unprecedented overall mortality and the mortality rate among young adults during the 1918–1919 influenza pandemic is incompletely understood. Deaths in the United States peaked with a sudden spike in October 1918. Later, Wade Hampton Frost studied surveys of 8 US cities and found that, for every 1000 persons aged 25–29 years, ∼30% were infected with influenza virus, and 1% died of pneumonia or influenza. This 3% case-fatality rate has been called, “perhaps the most important unsolved mystery of the pandemic.”

One hypothesis for why this occurred, is that the higher mortalities of the soldiers was iatrogenic, doctor caused. In 1918, aspirin was first marketed, and Big Pharma was keen to push its new wonder drug. Doses of 8-31 grams were given to sick soldiers. It is known today that the daily dose of aspirin should never exceed the level of mgs, even in exceptional circumstances, and doses are far, far lower to avoid toxicity, and other side effects. But, the even higher doses would likely produce the rapid declines and deaths that were observed. Bad Cat cited some peer reviews papers that support his idea.

The truth, like water, has a tendency to leak out. At present this is occurring with aspects of the Covid plandemic, but it is also occurring with the US  House Judiciary Committee, over the “Twitter files,” and Big Tech censorship, and the way the government weaponised this. Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger testified to Congress. By way of summary. According to Shellenberger: “Twitter, Facebook, Google, and other companies developed a formal system for taking in moderation requests from every corner of government, from the FBI, DHS, HHS, DOD, the Global Engagement Center at State, even the CIA. For every government agency scanning Twitter, there were perhaps twenty quasi-private entities doing the same thing.”

There has been something of a small break in this, with Elon Musk giving Twitter more free speech, but as far as the evidence indicates, nothing has changed with the rest of Big Tech. This was a major issue during the Covid plandemic, where criticism of the vaxxes, and mandates, which all turned out to be true, were censored, and critics found themselves removed. This still goes on, so it is early days yet in the struggle to regain a level of free speech, that existed even a few years back.

This is an important confession document by a leading figure of the American left, Dr Naomi Wolf. She was previously best known as a radical feminist critic, attacking such things as the “beauty myth.” However, when Covid arose and the vax rollout occurred, she noticed that women were reporting fertility and menstrual issues. Further research led her to becoming a Covid vax critic, and making major contributions. This naturally upset her friends from the Left, who fully believed in the Vax cult.

And now she has written, in the light of Tucker Carlson’s viewing on TV of the January 6 videos, all of which refute the Democrat narrative of an insurrection, that this too was mistaken. What sort of insurrection is it, when people are escorted into the Capitol Building by the police? The mainstream, who have addressed this at all, have said that the police were overwhelmed and just surrendered. But if that was so, then they should have retreated, and got the National Guard. Nothing like this occurred, it was thus a grand set-up.

While the public obviously have Covid fatigue, the Covid mandates have not completely disappeared in Australia. There has been a drive by the health authorities, even given other jurisdictions, such as in Europe and the United States, moving to halt re-vaccination, to move to a fifth jab, and beyond. Covid mandates continue in many Australian workplaces. And, the big issue is that if the federal government signs the World Health Organization pandemic treaty, which is certain without strong opposition, there will be more of what we have seen during the lockdowns in the next plandemic, as well as a global vaccine passport, sooner rather than later.

Vaccines have become the stepping stones to the New World Order, and one ignores the science, or its misuse, at the peril of freedom.

Julie Sladden has published three ground-breaking Covid articles at Spectator.com, a mainstream publication, but far ahead of many. The previous articles discussed the harms versus benefits of the mRNA vaxxes, and then the Covid mandates still existing in Australia. The third article, the most important detailed what must be done to avoid another public health disaster. They are all sensible measures.

Ramesh  Thakur has written at Brownstone.org, about in recent times, past conspiracy theories have turned out to be true, and thus, factual. It is one of the best arguments against internet censorship and the so-called drive by the globalist to control “misinformation.” The Covid plandemic well illustrates this, with almost all components of the mainstream covid narrative falling. But despite this, aspects of the mandates, such as a drive for a fifth vax, and mask wearing in selected areas, such as medical centres, continues. The vaccines were said by President Biden to prevent transmission, and this was immediately refuted by nature, with the new Omicron variant, escaping the arguable protection of the first round of shots. The over-vaccinated suddenly were infected.

Dr Thakur has given a list of the dogmas that have been refuted by the passage of time, although still clinged to by some medical technocrats, who cannot let go of the power that the plandemic gave them:

The World Health Organization (WHO), established the  International Health Regulations (IHR) in 2005, a compliance tool to allegedly efficiently handle public health emergencies. This gave WHO enormous power, being for Western health agencies the fountain of all wisdom regarding health matters. The Covid mandates originated from WHO, and these in turn were highly influenced by policies adopted in communist China, who, as detailed in previous articles, largely dominate WHO. Amendments to the International Health Regulations, made near the end of 2022, will vastly increase WHO’s power, including the pandemic treaty, and the proposed Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB). These changes, if successful will transform WHO from a once advisory role, to becoming a power above the nation state on health-related matters.
