A new lobby group comprising scientists, farmers, consumers, small business and big business is urging both sides of Australian politics to put aside party interests and global agendas to focus on what's best for Australian business, workers, consumers and the environment. The Saltbush Club calls for Australia to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement and to cease financing or supporting the international bodies promoting it. It challenges the whole idea of a consensus on man-made global warming. Jerry Ellis, retired chairman of BHP, and Founding Chairman of the Saltbush Club says:

"It is clear that Australia’s push to meet the Paris carbon dioxide emission targets is leading to higher electricity prices and unreliable supply. We have lost the balance between working for environmental outcomes and working for economic outcomes. These things need to be balanced, and this balance is missing with the Paris Agreement. The world would be a better placed with strong economies generating money to spend on poverty, health, infrastructure and the environment."

     There is a strange object in space, Oumuamua, which some gerky science types are starting to think is, or was,  an alien probe, cleverly disguised in rock, a kind of cosmic conspiracy sandwich:

“The odd interstellar object that zoomed through the inner solar system last fall might be an alien spacecraft with a light sail, a new study suggests. Indeed, an artificial origin would explain quite nicely the many weird characteristics of that cosmic visitor, which is known as 'Oumuamua, study co-author Avi Loeb said. And Loeb said his colleagues shouldn't dismiss this hypothesis out of hand just because it invokes intelligent aliens.
"That is a prejudice that we shouldn't have," Loeb, who chairs the astronomy department at Harvard University and directs the Institute for Theory and Computation (ITC) at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, told Space.com. "Science should be open-minded."

     Here is news that even I, who am well up on the pollution of the world, both physical and metaphysical, found disturbing; we are literally becoming polluted with so much plastic that it is now invading our very bodies:
  https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-11-05-all-our-bodies-are-filled-with-plastic.html 
  https://www.wired.com/story/your-poop-is-probably-full-of-plastic/

“Today at the United European Gastroenterology meeting in Vienna, researchers announced they have detected microplastics in stool samples from every single one of a small group of international test subjects. "Plastics are pervasive in everyday life and humans are exposed to plastics in numerous ways," said Philipp Schwable, a gastroenterologist at the Medical University of Vienna, who led the study, via email. And yet, even he did not expect that every poo would test positive. The pilot study tested eight subjects from eight different countries: Austria, Italy, Finland, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, and the UK. Each maintained a food diary the week before donating their stools, which they deposited in glass jars, wrapped in biohazard bags, and shipped in cardboard boxes marked "Biological Substance, Category B" to the Environment Agency Austria for analysis.

     The Pacific Ocean … calm, peaceful, but soon … radioactive:
  https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-10-28-japan-to-drain-radioactive-fukushima-water-directly-into-pacific-ocean.html

“Government authorities in Japan have announced new plans to start dumping highly radioactive wastewater from the failed Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power facility directly into the Pacific Ocean. Though the amount of radiation in the water far exceeds legally-permitted levels, according to the plant’s operator and documents reviewed by the U.K.’s Telegraph, there’s apparently no other place to put it at the site, which is on the verge of seeing its storage capacity completely maxed out. Reports indicate that approximately 1.09 million tons of contaminated water currently being stored inside 900 tanks at Fukushima will soon be drained in the Pacific in order to make more space for new water, a move that’s sparking outrage among local residents and a number of environmental organizations that worry about what the vast contamination will do to the world’s largest body of water.”

    The passage of a stream of mud across California, a state which is a symbol of evil, may be a sign from God that he is going to put these critters out of their misery, Old Testament style, I hope:
  https://www.livescience.com/63998-mud-pool-creeping-across-california.html?utm_source=ls-newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20181102-ls

“A mysterious, bubbling mud geyser is on the move in Southern California, flitting dangerously close to railroad tracks, Highway 111 and some very expensive optic cables, like a geologic poltergeist, according to news sources. Even stranger, this puzzling geyser — dubbed the "Slow One" — is in the same neighborhood as the source of the so-called "Big One," the giant earthquake that is expected to shake things up where the North American and Pacific tectonic plates rub together to form the San Andreas Fault.”

     As readers will know, I am a hater of much of the sham environmentalism of today, which is just social justice warrior socialism; immigration and population increase have never been addressed by these Greenies, so, they really only care about socialism, not the survival of nature. A real environmentalists, like immigration critic Garret Hardin and Pentti Linkola:

     All tend to be anti-humanist, and what is wrong with that? Anyway, I am getting old and digressing a bit. Here is the text of an email I received raising some good points about electric cars; sorry I don’t know who wrote it, but good work anyway:

     Science and technology constitutes the magic of our age, and given that it produces effects, it is funded by the ruling class who use it to consolidate their power and control the plebs. A few crumbs fall form the festive table that the masses can eat, to keep them extra docile. Consider human genes now in rice; look mum, I am sooooooo clever:
https://www.newstarget.com/2016-07-13-human-genes-engineered-into-gmo-rice-have-being-grown-in-kansas.html?fbclid=IwAR0YjZoze9a4ruE0g4B6kMgPet8daXboFpQDjT3F-Sve4A4gfKxozLuJJeU

“Rice that has been engineered with actual human genes is on its way to a supermarket near you. In Junction City, Kansas, this human gene-tainted rice is being grown on 3,200 acres by the biotechnology company Ventria Bioscience. Ventria began cultivating this rather horrifying product in 2006 with human liver genes. What exactly was the purpose of this, you ask? Their intention was to harvest the artificial enzymes produced by the rice and use them in pharmaceuticals. Ventria has taken one of the most widely grown and consumed crops and turned it into the base for new prescription drugs — all with USDA approval, of course.

     We have been warned, not that our corrupt political elites and new class chatterers, here in Australia care much. At the first sign of trouble they will desert the ship, like rats do. The Chinese president has said that China is getting ready for war, and President Putin of Russia said previously that Russians are ready to enter heaven, while the West will not even have time to repent. Armageddon, indeed:
  http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/chinese-president-to-military-prepare-for-war_10292018

“Chinese President Xi Jinping has ordered the military to “prepare for war.” The Chinese nation’s military group that monitors the South China Sea and Taiwan are bracing for a bloody conflict over rising tensions with Taiwan, which also comes amongst a trade war with the United States that’s threatening to crumble the global economy. The Chinese president was quoted as saying it has become necessary to prepare for a war. “It’s necessary to strengthen the mission […] and concentrate preparations for fighting a war,” according to the Chinese president, who was quoted by state broadcaster CCTV on Thursday during an inspection of the Southern Theatre Command (one of the five war zones of China’s People’s Liberation Army) in Guangdong province.According to Sputnik News, Xi added: “We have to step up combat readiness exercises, joint exercises, and confrontational exercises to enhance servicemen’s capabilities and preparation for war!”

     I cannot bear the TV show Game of Thrones, which seems to be just a thrashing of Medieval culture and values, adding gratuitous sex to masses of mindless violence. Now there is global warming:
  https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2018/10/18/george-rr-martin-game-of-thrones-is-about-climate-change/
  https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/16/t-magazine/george-rr-martin-qanda-game-of-thrones.html

“Martin: It’s kind of ironic because I started writing “Game of Thrones” all the way back in 1991, long before anybody was talking about climate change. But there is — in a very broad sense — there’s a certain parallel there. And the people in Westeros are fighting their individual battles over power and status and wealth. And those are so distracting them that they’re ignoring the threat of “winter is coming,” which has the potential to destroy all of them and to destroy their world. And there is a great parallel there to, I think, what I see this planet doing here, where we’re fighting our own battles. We’re fighting over issues, important issues, mind you — foreign policy, domestic policy, civil rights, social responsibility, social justice. All of these things are important.

     I have a fascination for weird and wonderful things, such as alien structures on the moon. I believe it especially after reading that you could use Google to find them! Of course that had to be, because all these geek IT dudes are alien lizards, I have heard. I even saw pictures of this on the net, when they let me use the computer at the community centre. Usually I send these masterpieces off having scrawled them in pencil on paper.
  http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/using-google-tools-alien-base-said-to-be-found-on-the-moon_10152018

“Thanks to the invention of Google Moon – a tool similar to Google Earth but for the Moon – UFO hunters have been able to trawl the lunar surface. Many believe they have found strange artefacts and monuments, and now one person believes he has found evidence of an alien base. UFO hunter Sandra Elena Andrade wrote on her YouTube page: “Large buildings in the craters of the Moon were discovered by the Argentine researcher Marcelo Irazusta. “The images are very clear. Some with a pyramid shape. Their forms show that they were built by intelligent civilisation.”

     As a lover of all things alcoholic, and a hater of the false religion of climate change, I was shocked to read (I am always shocked while reading), that climate change is set to cause a rise in the price of beer. How is this even possible?
  https://www.9news.com.au/2018/10/16/20/26/beer-prices-set-to-soar-as-climate-warms-scientists-warn

“Beer drinkers face soaring prices for their favourite schooner due to the effects of climate change, scientists have warned. Global warming is likely to cause a major drop in global yields of barley – a vital ingredient for brewers. Research predicts heatwaves and droughts could cause a fall in barley yields of up to 17 percent across the leading grain-producing regions of Australia, Asia, Europe and the US. This would trigger a spike in the price of beer, according to the study published in Nature Plants.”

     Time crystals? No, I had not hears of them either, before reading this:
  https://www.iqsdirectory.com/resources/time-crystals-a-new-form-of-matter-that-could-change-everything/

“Time crystals are systems of atoms that arrange themselves in time the way more traditional solids crystallize in space. In case your brain isn’t bent enough trying to figure out what that means, the two groups of scientists created radically different structures that both fall under the label “time crystals.” These atomic arrangements are not time travel portals or infinite Rube Goldberg Machines, but rather the advent of a whole new state of matter–independent from the familiar solids, liquids, and gases that comprise our known universe. MIT theoretical physicist Frank Wilczek first proposed the idea of time crystals in 2012, positing that if properties change over time rather than in space that it might create new states of matter. Less than six years later, the two groups of scientists created crystals that seem to possess properties similar to those he proposed.

     Basically, I love anything that makes consumer goods and life more comfortable, in this age of plenty. Consumption is everything. One can never have enough, and if God did not want this to be so, then He would not have given us infinite resources.  But, this age of plenty requires energy, and plenty of it, or it would not, by definition be an “age of plenty.” Sure, we have enough oil and gas to burn until the sun explodes in a trillion years, but some people feel that nuclear is better. Radiation is felt to be a problem, when mega-storms destroy nuclear power plants. That is why we need these guys to eat up all of the radioactive baddies, like pac men:
  https://sputniknews.com/science/201810081068701682-nuclear-waste-neutralizing-bacteria/

“The unique bacteria, discovered in a nuclear waste storage site in Siberia, shows promise as a tool for the creation of a natural barrier to the spread of radionuclides. Researchers from the Moscow-based Frumkin Institute of Physical Chemistry and the Russian Academy of Sciences' Federal Research Center for Biotechnology have been able to isolate microorganisms which can be used to safeguard the surrounding environment from liquid radioactive waste. Scientists made the discovery while conducting microbiological studies of the groundwater at the Seversky deep radiation burial site in Seversk, Tomsk region, Siberia, where liquid radioactive waste from the Siberian Chemical Combine, which supplies and reprocesses low enriched uranium for nuclear fuel, is stored.

     There has been a filtering of end times theological speculation in articles recently published at our noble site, such as whether Leftists will burn in the flames of hell. Another interesting question: but what about divine retribution today? Could evil places like Australia, as it now exists, face another deluge?
  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6263213/Experts-warn-Australia-hit-destructive-60metre-high-tsunami-time.html

“Experts have warned it is only a matter of time before Australia is hit by a devastating tsunami. They said the country's coastal cities have been fortunate not to be struck by a series of destructive waves triggered by meteor impacts or seismic activity. Past tsunamis, the most recent in 1491, have crashed over 60metre-high cliffs and sent seawater as far inland as the Blue Mountains, 50km west of Sydney. Dale Dominey-Howes, co-director of the Australian Tsunami Research Centre at the University of New South Wales said tsunamis posed a real threat to Australian cities. 'If it occurred without warning on a Saturday afternoon in summer the impacts would be catastrophic,' he told the Australian Geographic. 'I suspect it's only a matter of time before we are affected by something damaging.' 

     Why settle for a good old nuclear war with Russia, when you can destroy the universe in a “look at me, mum” moment? Just what is wrong with the physicists, anyway; is it some sort of physiological or sexual inadequacy? Your guess is good as mine, but to test their hypotheses they are willing to risk all of our lives:
  http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/astronomer-warns-earth-could-be-crushed-by-particle-accelerator_10012018

“Martin Rees, a well-respected British cosmologist, has a warning about particle accelerators. There is a small, but very real possibility of disaster.  Rees claims Earth could be crushed to the size of a soccer field by particle accelerators. The Large Hadron Collider, which is a particle accelerator, shoots particles at incredibly high speeds, smashes them together, and scientists observe the fallout. According to Science Alert, these high-speed collisions have helped us discover a lot of new particles, but according to Rees, these discoveries come with several risks to humanity. In a new book, called On The Future: Prospects for Humanity, he gives some pretty dire possible outcomes of this type of advancement in science.

     I know a guy who does professional agricultural spraying in Victoria, and he told me that roundup is so good that he would drink it, if it did not have a bad taste. Also, he said that he only feels good when he is out spraying, breathing in all of the goodness. Maybe he should sit down and have one of these birds and bees talks with the bees, who may disagree:

     Wow, that made even the URL change colour:

     The possibility of a major nuclear accident following in the wake of Hurricane Florence, has not been covered by the mainstream US media, who are too busy smashing White America and Donald Trump. But, as covered in the Mike Adams alternative presses, this is a real possibility, since the Brunswick nuclear power plant on the US east coast took a direct hit from Hurricane Florence and is now in a state of emergency, even while running a “hot shutdown,” as technical staff can no longer reach the site:
  https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/event-status/event/2018/20180917en.html
  http://www.collapse.news/2018-09-17-emergency-declared-at-brunswick-nuclear-power-plant-in-north-carolina-all-personnel-blocked-from-entering-the-facility-as-hot-shutdown-under-way.html

“Now the NRC has declared an emergency at the Brunswick facility. Personnel are not able to access the plant, which is running a “hot shutdown” sequence. The facility is apparently running blind. At risk is the entire Eastern seaboard of the United States, which would be rendered uninhabitable for 300 years if a nuclear fuel meltdown occurs. No one in the fake news media seems to think this is important enough to cover. After all, they’re too busy trying to blame Trump for somehow causing the hurricane itself. The sheer stupidity — and almost suicidal tendency — of modern humans never ceases to amaze.”

     Anything to do with Roswell, USA, just smacks of aliens, UFOs and government cover-ups. Now comes the granddaddy of all conspiracies: the FBI, the wold’s most conspiratorial organisation, who plotted for Donald Trump’s downfall, has closed down a solar observatory near Roswell, and they are not saying why:
  https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2018/09/observatory-shut-down-by-fbi-did-not-see-aliens.html

“A solar observatory shut down in mysterious circumstances "did not see aliens", its director has clarified. But just why the National Solar Observatory in New Mexico was evacuated earlier this month remains a mystery, with the FBI still not telling local police why the research facility and a nearby post shop were closed. "The FBI has not contacted us," Sgt Jon Emery of the Otero County Sheriff's Office told local news station KOB4. "We don't know what they took, what their reason for being there was. We have no information on it." Residents of the small town of Sunspot, where the observatory is based, have also been evacuated. "It is very frustrating being out of our home," local man Sean Williams told KOB4. "I will say that and I can't wait until this is over." A spokeswoman for the observatory on Friday (local time) said the directors have now made the call to keep it closed "until further notice due to an ongoing security concern". Director James McAteer told KOB4 "nothing" will be kept secret once the "security concern" is over.”

     On the climate change issue, my position is that climate changes when it wants to. There have been ups and downs throughout geological time, assuming you accept standard science. If the world was created only 4,000 years ago, then it is a different matter. On this question, as a Christian I am just not sure. Anyway, rather than climate fluctuations being a dispassionate scientific question, global warming has become a religious faith of the progressives and globalists, who use it for their agenda. Here is an example, where climate change serves the multiracial agenda of eliminating Whites:
  https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/climate-change-could-affect-human-evolution-here-s-how-ncna907276

“The reason why climate change could reduce racial differences is that it will trigger massive migrations. In recent decades the world has become more urbanized, with people moving into large cities in coastal areas. But as polar ice melts and sea levels rise, large numbers of people will be forced to flee the coasts. And as droughts become more common and more severe, people living in more arid areas will have to move to places with more reliable sources of water. These migrations will erode the geographic barriers that once separated human populations. In fact, this process is already underway. As of 2017, 258 million people were living in a country other than the one they were born in — an increase of 49 percent since 2000, according to a report from the United Nations. A World Bank report released in March predicts that climate change will cause 140 million people to migrate by 2050, with those now living in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Latin America especially likely to migrate.

     While the Euro-West worries about multicultural inflicted miseries, Japan is getting down to business and technology, canvassing plans for a space elevator:
  http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/japan-will-soon-start-testing-the-feasibility-of-a-space-elevator_09052018 
  https://www.afp.com/en/news/826/going-japan-test-mini-space-elevator-doc-18u1en1

“A Japanese team working to develop a "space elevator" will conduct a first trial this month, blasting off a miniature version on satellites to test the technology. The test equipment, produced by researchers at Shizuoka University, will hitch a ride on an H-2B rocket being launched by Japan's space agency from southern island of Tanegashima next week. The test involves a miniature elevator stand-in -- a box just six centimetres (2.4 inches) long, three centimetres wide, and three centimetres high. If all goes well, it will provide proof of concept by moving along a 10-metre cable suspended in space between two mini satellites that will keep it taut. The mini-elevator will travel along the cable from a container in one of the satellites. "It's going to be the world's first experiment to test elevator movement in space," a university spokesman told AFP on Tuesday. The movement of the motorised "elevator" box will be monitored with cameras in the satellites. It is still a far cry from the ultimate beam-me-up goals of the project, which builds on a long history of "space elevator" dreams. The idea was first proposed in 1895 by Russian scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky after he saw the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and was revisited nearly a century later in a novel by Arthur C. Clarke. But technical barriers have always kept plans stuck at the conceptual stage.”
