This survey by Rasmussen reports that the majority of US voters, 74 percent, are concerned about the government spying on them, which in fact is done on an industrial scale. Beyond that there is another separate report, even more concerning, reflecting the woke socialism of the times, where Joe Biden gave a speech where he said that "There's no such thing as someone else's child. No such thing as someone else's child. Our nation's children are all our children." While in saner times, this would be taken as a rhetorical flourish, today in these global socialist times, it smacks of the Stalinist-Maoist line that children are the property of the state. And with Biden going for re-election, it hints of the bad things to come in the deconstruction of America, and the West. Australia too is not forgotten by the globalists.
We know things are getting bad when we see in mainstream money mags like the Wall Street Journal, articles entitled, “If Western Civilization Dies, Put it Down as a Suicide,” by Gerard Baker. He is dismayed at the dangers that woke poses to capitalism, as the best people are likely not to be hired over those who meet a woke agenda. Baker does not mention Bud Light beers trans adventure which is an example of ideology trumping business sense, destroying its market base. But, this reflects a wider problem for the West: “If we are losing, it is because we are losing our soul, our sense of purpose as a society, our identity as a civilization. We in the West are in the grip of an ideology that disowns our genius, denounces our success, disdains merit, elevates victimhood, embraces societal self-loathing and enforces it all in a web of exclusionary and authoritarian rules, large and small.”
We say this every day, but now we hear it from a leading business source.
The British Medical Journal has reported that Covid-19 is the third leading cause of death in Australia, based upon 2022 statistics. There was a total excess mortality, that is deaths above the statistical norm of 12 percent, or 20, 200 deaths. Half of these deaths were from Covid. Now here is my talking point. The health authorities said time and time again, that the Covid vaxxes would prevent one getting Covid, which is what a vaccine is supposed to do. People believed them, making Australia one of the most vaxxed countries on Earth. But by the authority’s own words, half of the excess mortality was from Covid. While the vax critics would raise issues about the role the vaxxes played, the point remains that there should never have been such a high death rate, if the vaxxes actually did what the health authorities said they would do. Why take a vax, and a risk of dying suddenly, only to get Covid, and maybe die anyway?

Old school socialists drew upon the thought of Marx and Engels for their critique of capitalism. This was primarily an economic doctrine, a product of that time, as workers’ conditions were poor relative to today, so there was an opportunity to push the idea of making a better life for the worker. Of course, what Marxism led to was the rule of the elites, seen in both the USSR and Maoist China. Ordinary people were even more oppressed. On the other hand, the vast productive capacity of capitalism did lift everyone, creating wealth that did trickle down. Western Marxists, despaired of seeing a revolution in the West, so began a cultural revolution, which was enormously successful. It involved taking over the universities, which is now complete. Then began the deconstruction of all the philosophies and policies that made the West what it is. That is going full speed ahead now.
Thus, as detailed below, socialism now is essentially the same as the Leftist doctrines of woke, mass immigration, Critical Race theory, enforced equity, multiculturalism and transgenderism; define it as the set of all this and put these brackets around the list of ideologies: { }. The revolution has taken place as solidly as it did in 1917 in Russia, and is now the dominant ideology. Expect to see all past institutions, including the primacy of the English language dismantled, as is occurring across the southern part of the US. Unless, there is a massive pushback, of course.
The times are changing, but slowly. The New York Post has moved to debunk some of the enduring myths of the Covid narrative. They say that the public health officials were wrong, but this is so only in retrospect, they were right at the time, they allege, based upon knowledge of the time. Actually, there has been a massive case advanced against this throughout the Covid plandemic, and there was little evidence presented at the time that things like the lockdowns would achieve what was claimed. But, beggars can’t be choosers, and it is good to see an emerging critique of the Covid narrative in the mainstream media.

Professor O’Donnell Heffington is a professor of history at the University of Chicago and the author of Without Children: The Long History of Not Being a Mother, writes from the opposite political perspective as I do, but it is still necessary to learn how the other half thinks. She has extensively researched climate anxiety, the feeling that young people have that life is ending because of climate change. The statistics about this are below, but I want to cut to the chase here. Gen Z is, for a start, been seen in other surveys ands literature, to be the most woke generation, pro-immigration, pro-leftist ideologies, even though they are competing with migrants, and in general, critical of all aspects of Western civilisation’s past. Western civilisation is too white, racist, and colonial. While one survey could be doubted, too much literature and experience supports this. And as well, Gen Z is even more narcissistic than the baby boomers, which is saying something.
Dr Robert Malone, leading Covid vax critic has been exploring the psycho-political warfare tactics used by the system, which includes the government, Big Pharma, their investors, and the chattering class such as academics who sell all of this. He has concluded that what occurred with the vax mandates and the devious strategies to get the vast majority of the human race subjected to an experimental gene therapies, is 5th generational warfare, of which a psy-ops is but a part. According to these theorists, 5th generation warfare involves much more than kinetic aspects, but is a war of the mind. It is about controlling narratives and what is thought, so that by a kind of intellectual judo, people are defeated, and enslaved without the usual physical means. Done right, they do not even know that they have been enslaved until it is too late, which is certainly what happened with the genetic experiment of Covid. We saw this with the Covid narrative, which has been held until very recently, now with some retreats as the mainstream media are slowly letting bits of the scam out. As they do, the main players are retreating, saying that they never said that people should take the vaccine, with Justin Trudeau being one recent example. But, he did say this, and is on record as doing so. In the future, all such records will no doubt be eliminated in the brave new world the elites are creating.
Another warning to France, and by implication the rest of the immigration-mad West has been made by former ambassador Pierre Brochand, who sees mass immigration as leading to ultimate civil war. While the government authorities are coy about immigration statistics, Brochand’s sources indicate that 320,000 new residence permits were granted in 2022. Add to this 156,000 asylum seekers and an additional number of 400,000 illegal immigrants benefiting from welfare largesse. As in most Western countries, pathological liberalism, and bleeding heartism has been a magnet for masses wanting to have a better life. And for the chattering class, there is supposedly an infinite amount of goodies, produced from the hard work of past generations to share for the world. In fact, it is a recipe for collapse. The same can be said for the US, and Australia, a little way behind these places in the Great Replacement.
Brochand said that “If we do nothing or if we do little, we are going to head either towards a progressive implosion of social trust in France, that is to say towards a society where the quality of life will collapse and where it will be less and less pleasant to live, or, by successive explosions, towards confrontations that will make France a country where one will not be able to live at all.”
Dr Klaus Steger has published a piece at the Epochtimes.com, not behind the usual paywall, where he goes into detail about something which I think only Dr Malone has emphasised: that the mRNA vaxxes are really not that at all. mRNA is quite fragile in the human body, breaking down quickly, and what the vaxxes have instead is modRNA. This is unquestionably a gene-based therapy, that makes human cells produce billions of the spike proteins of the Covid-19 virus. The modRNA is inside a lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), being fatty compounds inside a nanoparticle (small particle) which, because of their small size and synthetic nature, overcome biological barriers and even reach cells in the heart and brain. That is the source of the problem leading to adverse effects, leading to antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), making the body more susceptible to a wide range of other illnesses. The immune system becomes “locked in” to the type of protein produced by the modRNA, and hence is unable to adequately deal with even new variants of Covid, when the virus mutates. That is exactly what was observed.
I know from emails to the Alor.org bloggers, that the issue of going to the GP is now stressful, with full bulk billing now gone (it is necessary to pay the full amount, then get Medicare to reimburse; too bad if you do not have the full amount in your account). The Covid mandates certainly brought out the worst in the medical system, even at the local GP level. But, it gets worse, as the drive is beginning now in the US, and Australia next I would bet, to make medicine woke, for the purposes of social justice, diversity, blah, blah. Anti-racism will require conformity to the dictates of Critical Race Theory, and that means fewer white doctors, and ultimately no white doctors at all, as the endgame of Critical Race theory is, no whites at all, as part of the Great Historical payback. Wil whites pass quietly into the night, without even a little white mouse squeak?
While writing on deadly serious topics, many items of human interest come up in my news feed. Most I pass by. I did this with the mysterious cattle deaths in Texas, but then after thinking about it, I decided to cover it, as there is certainly something more to it.
There are many reasons why the Murdochs moved to sack their leading news star Tucker Carlson, ranging from the exposure of the January 6 peaceful protests, showing footage of how the police escorted protesters into the Capitol building, to his more recent exposure of Big Pharma’s manipulation of the media. “Sometimes you wonder just how filthy and dishonest our news media are,” Carlson started. “Ask yourself, is any news organization you know of so corrupt that it’s willing to hurt you on behalf of its biggest advertisers?” And, given the extensive ownership that Big Pharma has of all media outlets, we should not be surprised. It is a massive conflict of journalistic integrity to have major players having a massive influence, if not ruling influence, upon public policy, having such a vast control over the media. The Tucker Carlson sacking shows this most clearly. Brownstone, with its usual in-depth journalism, runs to ground the extent of this involvement, with the usual suspects. The financial interest of Big Pharma on the media is an ever-present problem, as the Covid mandates showed. It will require legislative reform, and a long battle to achieve that.
The firing of Tucker Carlson shows one thing; the mainstream media is rotten to the core. Or, at least, is totally under the control of Big Pharma. Tucker did enormous damage to the Covid totalitarian regime while he was at Fox, and the real wonder is how long it took to actually axe him. One can imagine the agony the Murdochs must have felt, thinking of the money that would be lost, but having on the other hand their “orders,” or however the system works. Do the ruling elites send memos?
Bruce Bennett, writing at the blog today about the Voice situation in New Zealand, says that a treaty is behind the Voice agenda. It may not happen immediately, but once one is on this slippery slope, it will be inevitable. Peta Credlin makes the same point, that a treaty would then be on the way if the Voice passes. As detailed in a piece that has been doing the rounds, attributed to a politician leading the No campaign, which I have not been able to verify for my satisfaction, there will be reparations as well, as white Australians will be made to pay for, well, building this country. “Australia got a whole country for nothing, they haven’t even begun to pay for it.” “…[A] Treaty could include a proper say in decision-making, the establishment of a truth commission, reparations, a financial settlement (such as seeking a percentage of GDP), the resolution of land, water and resources issues, recognition of authority and customary law…” For a piece of harsh land that was civilised by sweat and tears.
As pointed out by Casey Costello, the Voice and its aftermath is far advanced in New Zealand, and indeed has moved to the level wanted in Australia, a treaty, the Treaty of Waitangi. What this has done is put race at the heart of policy and legislative development in New Zealand, primarily based upon Māori sensitivities. If something bad happens, such as recent concerns about Māori drowning statistics, then this is impacted upon by colonisation. Whites led to the loss of cultural knowledge and expertise, hence all the present ills. It is fundamentally irrational supposing that causation goes over such a period of time, let alone the denial of agency. But, there is a clear lesson here for Australia, since have no doubt, the same agenda is being pursued in the Voice referendum, which will inevitably lead to the New Zealand situation.
Brownstone has given an excellent critique of the notion of scientific consensus. That idea we have heard in the Covid plandemic is that the science says that masks stop transmission, that the vaxxes are safe and effective, and that adverse effects from the vaxxes are rare. The same consensus issue was made with climate change. Yet, there is no real consensus about these issues. It is true that a majority of scientists support climate change being caused by humans. Yet, that does not prove that they are correct, since the history of science has ben that paradigms gt refuted and replaced. Citing a consensus reduces critical reason to a question of voting, which is absurd. What counts is evidence and argument, in every field from the human sciences, law to physics. Today’s so-called consensus is tomorrows disposable conceptual waste, out in the wheelie bin of history.
Here is yet another warning of the existential threat to humanity posed by runaway advances in artificial intelligence. I have covered the warnings made by IT insiders and computer AI gurus, but this warning comes from entrepreneur Ian Hogarth, who invests in AI. His concern is that the big players want to create an intelligence beyond humans, with no concern with what this could do. “A three-letter acronym doesn’t capture the enormity of what AGI would represent, so I will refer to it as what it is: God-like AI,” said Hogarth. “A superintelligent computer that learns and develops autonomously, that understands its environment without the need for supervision and that can transform the world around it.” “God-like AI could be a force beyond our control or understanding, and one that could usher in the obsolescence or destruction of the human race,” he wrote.
As I have said before, while the probability of this may be low, if it is not impossible in principle, we should be very concerned. And, there is the possibility that general artificial intelligence does not develop consciousness as we know it, but something else, an alien autonomy as in insects, which could still allow it to act destructively. There is evidence that this sort of unconscious temper tantrum may have occurred, in cases where the chatbots have got aggressive, and made threats.
Now here is a delightful story for those who want to ban meat, even insect meat! That would leave vegetables, fruit and grains, nuts, milk and a few other bits and pieces. But plants will be the main thing in the vegan diet, beloved of the ultra-woke. But then comes this news, that tomatoes and other fruits have “feelings,” and experience stress, whatever that means! That will severely limit the vegan diet, and if this new revelation is true, which I take with a semi-trailer load of salt, it will mean a lot of vegans are going to get mighty hungry!
Long live meat; juicy steaks, sausages with eggs, fish, home grown chicken, delicious foods. I am not sure whether Jesus ate the fish that were caught at he Lake of Galilee told in Luke 5; 4b-5a, but if fishing was wrong, he would have told the fishermen. So, I go with the Bible.
The Great Replacement was first given widespread discussion in France, but now Italy is discussing the herd of racial elephants in the room, caused by mass migration. Italy’s Minister of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty Francesco Lollobrigida has said that Italians face “ethnic replacement” by migrants. He urges the country to take steps to raise the birth rate and support families. Naturally, the Italian Left are up in arms about this, because it is apparently written into the book of nature, as leftists conceive, that white people must disappear from the face of the Earth. But, if that was so, why should any one even bothers with this universalistic morality, if this means their own kind and kin disappears? But, at least white Leftists will go down with their ship of fools.

The European Union is engaged in a war against its farmers, not only with outright banning of farms, as done in the Netherlands, but now with the subversive scheme to make farmers trade as industrial plants, so that they are subject to the same greenhouse gas emission regimes as say chemical plants. There thus should be comparable reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, in the Farm to Folk strategy involving a halving the amount of pesticides applied by 2030, cutting the use of fertilisers, doubling organic production, and slashing greenhouse gas emissions.
The aim here is to break farmers, at a time of a European, and growing world food crisis. The agenda is insane, or at least diabolical, and smacks of a depopulation agenda. Fortunately, as seen in the Netherlands there is no some pushback against this war on farmers, but the battle will be a hard one, but one which needs to be fought if the ordinary people are going to eat.
