Hands up who has back pain … no, don’t that will hurt your back even more! Anyway, it seems that the opioid epidemic comes from people being in pain, especially back pain:
  https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2019/09/10/opioid-pain-treatment.aspx?utm_source=dnl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=art1ReadMore&utm_campaign=20190910Z1&et_cid=DM341239&et_rid=704946082

“The inappropriate treatment approach to back pain is a driving force behind the opioid epidemic, Dave Chase, co-founder of Health Rosetta, reports, citing the 2018 JAMA Network Open paper, “Opioid Prescribing for Low Back Pain: What Is the Role of Payers?” One of the reasons for this is the sheer prevalence of back pain. Statistics suggest 8 in 10 American adults will be affected by it at some point in their life. “It’s also a microcosm of all the things that are wrong with the U.S. health care system, including its contribution to the opioid crisis,” Chase writes. “Lower back pain puts people in desperate and vulnerable positions, and it puts doctors under pressure to Do Something Now. From such a confluence arise many poor and potentially devastating treatments and choices. Among the worst is doctors’ decisions to write opioid prescriptions as a treatment for lower back pain and their patients taking these drugs. Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons for an opioid prescription, but here’s the kicker: There’s no evidence that opioids are effective at treating this problem.”

     You know things are bad, really bad, rock bottom of the bin bad, when people in a nation simply stop having sex. That is a death wish, materialised, and it is happening in Japan, incredible as it seems:

  https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/marriage-rates-are-falling-due-shortage-economically-attractive-men-study-finds

“All around the world, young people are having less sex than previous generations. At the forefront of the so-called global "sex recession" is Japan, which has one of the lowest fertility rates on Earth, and it could serve as a cautionary tale for the U.S. and other industrialized countries. Shota Suzuki works as a building custodian in Tokyo. After work, he likes to hang out in an area known for anime and manga with his friends. But at 28, Suzuki has never had a romantic relationship, and he's pessimistic that he ever will. "Yes, I'm a virgin," he told CBS News. "I would like to get married, but I can't find a partner." Suzuki is far from a rare case. It's not difficult to find other young adults, like 27-year-old Kakeru Nakamura, who are surprisingly candid about their sexual inexperience. "My parents want me to hurry up and get married," he said. "I tell them I'm too busy." A review of Japan's National Fertility Survey reveals virginity is on the rise; one out of every 10 Japanese men in their 30s is still a virgin. That puts Japan's virginity rate well ahead of that of other industrialized nations. "A large proportion of these individuals cannot find a partner in the market," Peter Ueda, a public health researcher at Tokyo University, told CBS News. He's sounding the alarm about Japan's surging virginity rate, which he notes is, "actually the highest ever recorded in a high-income country."

     3 October 2019, Climate alarm has fractured western societies into four main groups – the Silent Majority, the Red Green-ants, the Noisy Street Children, and the Wise Elders.

     The Silent Majority do the work of the nation. They pay the nation’s bills and taxes and only make their presence felt at election time. They despise most career politicians but many fear reprisals from Big Government or Big Business should they be seen speaking out. But when sufficiently aroused they toss out the chicken-littles and turn to leaders like Donald Trump, Jair Bolsonaro and Boris Johnson.

     The cultural elite who work the media, especially film, project their dark and evil ideas through their medium, then get to have the deplorables buy it for entertainment. It is like having some mangy dog dirty one’s house, and then having to pay for the privilege of eternally walking on doggy-doo, and then having to love it, or be regarded as a dog hater.
  https://www.naturalnews.com/2019-09-28-netflix-movie-fantasizes-about-time-traveling-liberals-murdering-patriots.html

“As the delusional, insane cult of liberalism continues to infect every institution across America, Hollywood has been transformed into the place where left-wing fantasies are played out on the big screen to satisfy the delusions of the brainwashed masses. The latest example of these left-wing fantasies is found in a new Netflix feature movie called, “In the Shadow of the Moon.” This new film imagines time-traveling liberals who wear Antifa hoodies murdering patriots across America, following a pre-crime kill list that includes a concert pianist, a grill cook, a bus driver and other people who have done nothing wrong. The pre-crime murder is intended to execute these people before they start an uprising against globalism, which of course seeks to overrun America and destroy our national sovereignty. The entire point of the film is to make sure all these people who defend America are killed, ensuring globalism succeeds in overrunning this nation and enslaving humanity. (The film’s writers are clearly in the pro-enslavement camp and believe that the ends justify the means.) In the Shadow of the Moon, starring Boyd Holbrook and Cleopatra Coleman (see comments below about their acting skills, which are superb) depicts patriots as so evil that “their crimes defy time.” With all the usual smears you would expect from a left-wing Ministry of Truth propaganda operation — after all, even the NY Times now just fabricates total fantasy to try to destroy Trump — this new film conflates patriotism with white supremacy and anti-globalism paranoia. All the typical symbols of patriots are demonized in the film, including the American flag, AR-15s and resistance against global tyranny.”

     It seems that there are at least nine nations rehearsing their murder plot against America:
  https://thecommonsenseshow.com/activism-agenda-21-conspiracy/nine-nations-are-rehearsing-their-intentions-attack-united-states

“There are some Americans who refuse to see the Russian/Chinese threat against America. In the previous parts of this series, the case has been made that Trump is being drawn into a trap by committing military resources and men to defeating Iran. It is becoming crystal clear that Russia and China are not going to make their final stand against the western bankers in Iran. They are going to resurrect Venezuelan oil in order to supply their BRICS nations defiance of the Petrodollar demands of the West. Yet, most Americans refuse to see the omnipresent threat that is right in front of their eyes. This article will clearly demonstrate, that in addition to the Latin American states that are aligning against America, there countries around the world that are joining forces against the US they are training to defeat and occupy this country. In fact, it can accurately be said that the sentiment against America is so high, around the world, that as the reader will soon discover, even die-hard enemies are aligning against the United States. As aside, America, please allow me to ask a question. Why does the world hate America with such a vengeance? Answer: The world’s nations do not hate Americans. They hate the American government and their cruel and deadly brand of imperialism. However, millions of us could die because our government will put us in harm’s way in the coming conflicts. Now, it is a different story with both the Chinese and the globalists. They want YOU dead! When I made this statement at Steve Quayle’s Branson, True Legends Conference, many have told me that this revelation shook them to their core. Why do the globalists want Americans dead? Because we Americans have been raised on the notions of liberty and freedom, not bowing down to illegitimate authority. The globalist can take away our leaders and can burn the Constitution, however, they cannot erase the ingrained sense of liberty that exists in most Americans. Therefore, genocide is coming.”

     Just to bring Australian reader’s up to date on the latest dirt from American politics, where this time the rat-like Dumorats think that they have sunk Trump over his conversation to the Ukrainian president:

“According to Democrats and the lying media, Trump supposedly threatened to withhold military aid from Ukraine unless that government supplied him with dirt on former VP Joe Biden, one of the Democrats’ 2020 candidates. The problem with that accusation, however, is that it’s 100 percent false. It was Biden who, as Obama’s vice president, flew to Ukraine in 2015 and threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees if that government didn’t fire a prosecutor who was looking into corruption allegations involving a gas firm where son Hunter Biden served as a board member (for $50,000 per month). Not only did the government of then-President Petro Poroshenko accede to Biden’s demands, the former VP actually bragged about it on video at a Council on Foreign Relations confab last year. Now, however, Democrats are in panic mode because the video of Biden’s dirty deed is all over the place online. So what do they do? They concoct another fake scandal by accusing President Trump of doing exactly what Joe Biden did.

     Out goes Italy’s bad boy, Salvini, to what, open a great pizza joint,  called Salvini’s Pizza Palace (no, just joking) and in come the untold numbers of migrants for Italy’s Great Replacement (no, not joking):
  https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/italy-salvini-out-migrants

“Italy's new government, which has pledged to reverse former Interior Minister Matteo Salvini's hardline approach to migration policy, appears to have triggered a new wave of mass migration from northern Africa. More than 1,400 migrants reached Italian shores since the new government took office on September 5, according to data compiled by the International Organization for Migration (IOM). During just the past several weeks, the number of migrant arrivals to Italy has increased incrementally: 59 migrants arrived on September 6; 67 arrived on September 9; 121 arrived on September 14; 259 arrived on September 15; 275 arrived on September 18; and 475 arrived between September 19 and September 25, according to the IOM. Overall, the number of migrant arrivals in September 2019 is up by more than 100% over the number of arrivals in September 2018. Many of the new arrivals are reaching Italy by using new people-smuggling routes that originate in Turkey. In recent weeks, at least five migrant boats have landed in Calabria, in the far south of Italy. On September 21, for instance, 58 migrants, all Pakistani males, reached the Calabrian port of Crotone.

     Here is the future rushing up to destroy us. Will the sheeple let it happen yet again? Maybe “sheeple” is not a good word for them, since sheep don’t eat meat, but soon, none of us will either:
  https://www.independent.co.uk/environment/eating-meat-illegal-vegans-michael-mansfield-qc-labour-conference-a9115656.html?utm_source=amerika.org

“Eating meat could become illegal due to the ecological damage it does to the planet, a top British barrister has said. Michael Mansfield QC believes the government should introduce tighter legislation to make activities which destroy the natural world illegal – and in the future this could even include banning the consumption of meat. “There are plenty of things that were once commonplace that are now illegal such as smoking inside,” said Mr Mansfield, who will present his ideas at the Labour party conference on Monday. “We know that the top 3,000 companies in the world are responsible for more than £1.5tn worth of damage to the environment with meat and dairy production high on the list. We know that because the UN has told us so. “I think when we look at the damage eating meat is doing to the planet it is not preposterous to think that one day it will become illegal,” he said. Currently 25 per cent of global emissions come from agriculture, with livestock contributing to 80 per cent of that. Industrial agriculture relies on fossil fuels to create fertilisers and machinery to harvest crops and transport animals. Farmed animals also produce half of the world’s methane emissions.

     The race is on for the mega-capitalists to eat up the rest of the universe, creating the cosmic space economy, and the empire of Star Wars:
  https://theconversation.com/india-has-it-right-nations-either-aim-for-the-moon-or-get-left-behind-in-the-space-economy-121497

“In 2018 382 objects were launched into space. By 2040 it might easily be double that, with companies like Amazon planning “constellations”, composed of thousands of satellites, to provide telecommunication services.
The satellite business is just a start. The next big prize will be technology for “in-situ resource utilisation” – using materials from space for space operations. One example is extracting water from the Moon (which could also be split to provide oxygen and hydrogen-based rocket fuel). NASA’s administrator, Jim Bridenstine, has suggested Australian agencies and companies could play a key role in this. All up, the potential gains from a slice of the space economy are huge. It is estimated the space economy could grow from about US$350 billion now to more than US$1 trillion (and as possibly as much US$2,700 billion) in 2040.”

     With the “success’ of the climate strike across the world, as a media attention grabber, the focus should be on the teenage leader of the movement, Greta Thunberg. Does she raise funds by selling tasty vegan food, made by elves? No, she is funded by George Soros et al.:

     Yes, it happens even here in our wonderfully diverse wonderous wonderland:
  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7482529/Australian-brothers-guilty-plotting-blow-packed-Etihad-plane-bomb.html

“Two Sydney brothers have now been found guilty of plotting to blow up an Etihad plane with a bomb hidden in a meat grinder and to carry out a lethal poisonous gas attack. The siblings plotted with their older brother, Tarek Khayat, who was involved with Islamic State in Syria, and 'the controller', an unidentified person connected with the older brother, according to the prosecutor Lincoln Crowley QC. Khaled Khayat, 51, was found guilty in May of conspiring, between mid-January and late-July 2017, to prepare or plan a terrorist act, but the NSW Supreme Court jury failed to agree on a verdict for his brother. Mahmoud Khayat, 34, faced a retrial and another jury found him guilty of the same charge on Thursday afternoon. Their motivation was said to have included supporting violent jihad and they were accused of doing many preparatory acts during the seven-month conspiracy. The plane plot involved a bomb in a meat grinder being put into the luggage of a fourth brother, Amer Khayat, who was flying out of Sydney on an Etihad flight, Mr Crowley told the first trial. Amer Khayat has been cleared of involvement in the plot. But the plan was abandoned because the baggage was found to be overweight at the airport. Khaled Khayat then proposed that he himself would arrange to take the bomb, Mr Crowley said. 'The controller told him not to do that because he had to stay for the continuation of the work here and had to find someone else,' he said. The second plot involved poisonous gas which the older brother was going to make at his home following instructions given by the controller. When Khaled Khayat was arrested police found a piece of paper in his wallet that had Arabic words, numbers and symbols written on it. The paper was examined by a forensic chemist and Arabic interpreters, who determined that one side of the paper included the correct chemical equation for poisonous gas, while the other side had further details relating to the gas.”

     It is predictable that Marvel Film, like the rest of Hollywood would continue to go down the road of political correctness, just as has been done in the comics. This has been going on for a long time now, maybe all of the past, but it is accelerating now. Too many white characters not enough transgender characters and so on, endless virtue signalling.

     But there is a backlash out there, as was seen with the crash of the Star Wars movies, as seen by China’s rejection of this material. As well, many Blacks are attacking this move trend seeing it as putting Blacks as “sloppy seconds,” rather than introduce new Black characters.

     What value Australian citizenship? Nothing, nothing at all, it seems:
  https://www.sbs.com.au/news/push-for-non-citizens-to-receive-right-to-vote-in-australian-elections

“A parliamentary committee reviewing the May federal election has been told more than 2.2 million people living in Australia are being denied a vote because they are not citizens. French-born graphic designer Sylvain Garcia, who has lived in Australia for eight years, has urged the electoral matters committee to overturn a law change made in 1981 that restricted the right to vote to citizens, rather than permanent residents. "Today, at 29 years old, I feel more Australian than French," he wrote in his submission. "I know many permanent residents feel the same and I can't help but wonder why this huge chunk of people living in Australia cannot be part of the decisions made for the country."

     Lord James of Blackheath has been threatened with the police, told to retract the comments he made in the House of Lords on EU Defence Union, and is facing demands to resign and remain silent on the issue from now on. On Monday last week, Lord James of Blackheath attended a conference held at the Royal United Services Institute entitled ‘EU Defence Union - the threat to democracy, industry and alliances’. The conference was also attended by, amongst others, NATO and Ministry of Defence advisor Professor Gwythian Prins and a number of former senior military officers. The briefing covered the consequences for the UK if the defence and security sections of Theresa May’s Brexit ‘deal’ and its associated ‘Political Declaration on the Future Relationship’ are approved. At that meeting it was agreed that Lord James would raise the issue in the House of Lords, which he did four days later. Video footage of that intervention has received wide public distribution on Twitter. We have this wonderful paper called Yellowhammer, which tells us all the dreadful things that will happen if we do go no-go. My secretary has an alternative list that I have complied called the Black Vulture, which is my list of the things that people do not know about which will happen if we do not go no deal….

     It is amazing that the Left and Dumorats can speak about “treason,” when we have scores of unpunished crimes of Hillary and Obama floating around in free space, never to be addressed. What the hell is wrong with Trump; does he have any juices in his body at all?
  https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2019/09/23/bill-weld-on-trump-ukraine-that-is-treason-the-penalty-for-treason-under-the-u-s-code-is-death/

“During Monday’s “Morning Joe” on MSNBC, 2020 Republican presidential candidate former Gov. Bill Weld (R-MA) reacted to the report that President Donald Trump repeatedly urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to look into former Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, and his business dealings. Weld said “it couldn’t be clearer” that what Trump did was “treason pure and simple” because Joe Biden is a presidential candidate. “Well, obviously, canceling primaries undermines democratic institutions and democratic elections, but that’s far from the deepest high crime the president has committed here,” Weld told host Joe Scarborough. “He’s now acknowledged that in a single phone call right after he suspended $250 million of military aid to Ukraine, he called up the president of Ukraine and pressed him eight times to investigate Joe Biden, who the president thinks is going to be running against him.” “Talk about pressuring a foreign country to interfere with and control a U.S. election,” he continued. “It couldn’t be clearer, and that’s not just undermining democratic institutions — that is treason. It’s treason pure and simple, and the penalty for treason under the U.S. code is death. That’s the only penalty. The penalty on the Constitution is removal from office, and that might look like a pretty good alternative to the president if he could work out a plea deal.”

     The Left and most of the chattering class has been severely triggered by the new Rambo Movie, Last Blood, seeing it, in their derangement, as a Trumpian fantasy of violence. Well, that is unfair, since compared to the ultra-patriot Rambo, Trump is just another weasel, like the administrative characters in all of his movies. Anyway, the claim that it is “racist” and unrealistic needs to be read against what the Mexican cartels are doing each day, cutting out the hearts of opponents, mass murders and beheadings:
  https://www.breitbart.com/border/2019/09/23/mexican-police-commander-kidnapped-beheaded-in-cancun/

“A group of cartel gunmen in Cancun kidnapped, tortured, and beheaded a top state law enforcement commander. The case apparently uncovered a wave of corruption where officials allegedly favor certain criminal organizations over others. On Sunday, authorities discovered the decapitated body of Jose Antonio Archi Yama, the commander of the Quintana Roo State Police, Noticaribe reported. A group of gunmen from Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG) allegedly kidnapped Archi Yama on Thursday, setting off a manhunt as authorities first tried to cover up the case but were eventually forced to confirm the kidnapping and murder.”

     This is pretty good theatre, theatre of the absurd, that is. Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg was at the UN telling off all of the adults for creating modern civilisation and all of its comforts: “This is all wrong...You all come to us young people for hope. How dare you! You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words—and yet, I'm one of the lucky ones.”  Whoooaha! I think this young lady has “issues.” And she needs to be getting some help, not telling the world how to act. But, that is how clown world is run today.

     Google is becoming like one of those classic James Bond villains, from before the era of the appalling soy man Daniel Craig:
  https://www.technocracy.news/shock-google-claims-it-has-achieved-quantum-supremacy/

“In what may be a huge milestone in computing, Google says it has achieved “quantum supremacy,” an experimental demonstration of the superiority of a quantum computer over a traditional one. The claim, made in a new scientific paper, is the most serious indication yet that the promise of quantum computers—an emerging but unproven type of machine—is becoming reality, including their potential to solve formerly ungraspable mathematical problems. Essentially, Google purports to have pulled off a stunt on a quantum computer that no classical machine—not even the world’s most powerful supercomputer—can replicate. Fortune obtained a copy of Google’s paper, which was posted to NASA.gov earlier this week before being taken down. The Financial Times first reported the news. A Google spokesperson declined to confirm the authenticity of the paper and its results. NASA did not respond immediately to a request for comment. A source at Google familiar with the situation suggested, however, that NASA accidentally published the paper early, before its team’s claims could be thoroughly vetted through scientific peer review, a process that could take anywhere from weeks to months. If the paper holds up under the scrutiny of the scientific community, it will herald a watershed moment in quantum science. Its central claim counters doubt that some unforeseen law of nature may prevent quantum computers from operating as hoped. “Quantum speedup is achievable in a real-world system and is not precluded by any hidden physical laws,” the Google researchers write. Further, they predict that quantum computing power will “grow at a double exponential rate,” besting even the exponential rate that defined Moore’s Law, a trend that observed traditional computing power to double roughly every two years.

     We have all written extensively on the issue of the great replacement, or if one prefers, replacement migration, and the dwindling percentage of white people in Western populations. We have shown the new class, mostly white (or who will soon be classified as “white” by the replacers), gloating over this, while out of the side of their mouths poo-pooing this as a Right wing conspiracy. But consider:
  https://russia-insider.com/en/politics/still-deceiving-yourself-population-replacement-conspiracy-theory/ri27757

“Emma Bonino, parliamentarian of more Europe, interviewed on the sidelines of the conference The Contemporary, believes Europe’s survival and its welfare needs should come only from the transfer of people from the most populous countries of Africa. “We need to organize a population transfer from Africa and in particular from Nigeria which is the most populous country and in 50 years it will have a greater population than all of Europe. We delude ourselves that it is enough to make a wall and they will remain there, well it is not so.” Anti-White corporate media, which is primarily owned and managed by non-Europeans, claims that the (European) population’s ethnic replacement plan was a hoax invented by conspiracy theorists to spread hatred. Bonino confirms it is a trusted company controlled by White hating George Soros that admits its central role in displacing ethnic Europeans. The promoter of free abortion, tells us today that it would take too long to encourage (European) births and prefers transfer of Africa’s population to Italy, preferably from Nigeria. There were strong indications of this population displacement strategy in reports made at the UN, when they had talked about Europe’s demographic problems. As a solution to the demographic problem of Italy (and other European countries), it was claimed that it was necessary to ‘replace” (as reported in the title of the dossier) an ageing Europe with a massive influx of immigrants from Africa and Asia.”

     Over at the One World, anti-white UN, the Great Replacement is conceived as “replacement migration”:

“United Nations projections indicate that over the next 50 years, the populations of virtually all countries of Europe as well as Japan will face population decline and population ageing. The new challenges of declining and ageing populations will require comprehensive reassessments of many established policies and programmes, including those relating to international migration. Focusing on these two striking and critical population trends, the report considers replacement migration for eight low-fertility countries (France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Russian Federation, United Kingdom and United States) and two regions (Europe and the European Union). Replacement migration refers to the international migration that a country would need to offset population decline and population ageing resulting from low fertility and mortality rates.”
