2021 OCT 30 Graham Hood Update and Graham asks the Hard Questions to Fed and State Politicians
90
The US governor elections have exposed the missing piece in the left’s re education puzzle. The left did not have time to turn out the teachers for the high schools in the 90’s and 00’s, so Millennials, who did not go to university, missed out on their re education, and they are jacking up at what their children are now being taught. Perhaps the left have gone off half cocked, or let the cloak slip too early, and they should have waited a few more years to let out the full lunacy. Couldn’t help themselves. Power corrupts.
310
The lefty Dems have just a 3 vote majority in the House and a zero vote majority in the Senate. Losing both in 2022 looks pretty good now. And the shocking winter heating bills have not hit yet. Let’s go Brandon!
501
Lets Go Brandon! Yeah!
Trump in the White House next year and then again in 2024. Prosecutions all round for the people who Stole the Election. US out of the IPCC again. Then some real work, like trimming the UN budget and reforming the WHO and the WMO.

Just to let you know that our ABC is really up to date with all this stuff, and have magnificent investigative journalists working in our interests, they’ve put out this story:
Hope you read it and catch up.

Yeah, new news for our ABC. Morons to the last trans.. arrrr, whatever.

It will be fun (sarc) to watch the Democratic Party response to the losses yesterday.
The lunacy (apt) is actual neo religious fanaticism.
The Dem establishment made a Faustian bargain with the woke zealots.
They think they can control their new faux friends.
Let the dangerous games begin.
230
Who knows the truth. It is quite possible that the fraud dems had the steal all ready to go and then decided not to go through with it. It is also possible that having been caught last time they trialled new methods which were’nt quite as effective.
A full audit of every election should be the norm.
230
Well it looks like they went through with this one.

2021 NOV 03 The South Australian Nurses Tell the Truth Hospitals full of vax injuries not COVID
440
Wow, 3000 nurses in Adelaide alone about to be stood down rather than the 100 in South Australia reported by “our ABC” and double digit hospitalizations from CoViD vaccine side-effects.
But hey, not peer reviewed..
440
The ABC can’t count……And don’t count……LOL
00
And on mainstream news (one channel anyway). Being an AFLW player (as well as being an ICU and anaesthetics nurse), Deni Varnhagen would get more media attention than the average nurse.
https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/aflw/aflw-player-deni-varnhagen-protests-against-mandatory-healthcare-jab/news-story/cbda9020beb6140795954e9dcb41dfcd
Yet NOTHING on this on the Channel 7 news site aside from a comment by her coach stating that the vaccinations are mandatory and that “all of the medical advice and the health experts inform me that this is a safe and a really effective mechanism to diminish the impact” (plus you can see a Channel 7 microphone in the video that PeterS linked)
I guess nurses who see the direct effects are not “health experts” and are not qualified to give “medical advice”
https://7news.com.au/sport/afl/pretty-straightforward-aflw-coach-responds-to-anti-vax-players-covid-protest-c-4410937
330
When the nurses tell you to sharpen up and listen, you better do it…..
“3000 nurses to be stood down in Adelaide alone…..”
Will the sacked nurses set up a NEW hospital which doesnt ( allegedly ) discriminate over vax status?
230
The more wealth a person is and the more distant they are from the topic in question, the greater the “expert” they apparently are. Look at Elon Musk. He’s an “expert” on climate change and is willing to donate a tiny fraction of his wealth to combat it. Of course it won’t any difference to climate change regardless of whether there is a climate emergency or not. If there it were a real emergency, one would have thought he would donate all of his wealth plus borrow trillions more. The truth of course is it’s all a publicity stunt, just like the so called “health experts” we see every day on the news. Rich l1es matter.
210
Don’t forget that Musk was also an expert on cave rescue techniques…

How dumb must that coach be?
How can anyone state the covid vaccine suite we are using is safe? How can you be dumb enough to beleive anyone who says that?
At best, you can gave an opinion. We learnt the hard way that long term testing is required. Now the health swamp and the political class choose to ignore those lessons.
220
If you watch the video in PeterS’s post, the 32 year veteran nurse just lays it all out and on the line.
A couple of points she made in the video was that :
* 3000 nurses are basically going to be sacked for not kowtowing to the vaccine
* 30 out of 38 in ICU were vaccinated ( it wasnt clear why they were there )
* 1/3 of 20 somethings who came in, had dibilitating Myocarditis
So I guess in terms of it “getting ugly” – this is it.
Bascially we are, right now, in the fight of our lives against those who would do evil to us….
240
lol
221
So you know it was because of the vaccination.
120
Correct.
60
I’ll answer that one on behalf; yes and both.
60
So it could be a normal number of people in ICU for all sorts of reasons and the proportions are actually less than the proportion in the population (ie the excess due to unvacinated people getting ill for another reason)
05
Heres the thing, I said it wasnt clear why they were there, so no misleading anyone.
*shrug*
Now, logic says that if the nurse is talking about covid and specifically mentions numbers in the ICU, you would assume its related to covid or from covid and could alsolikely be related to the vaccine.
If she as a 32 year veteran nurse feels so strongly to the point she is going to lose her job over not being vaxxed, most nurses I know are straight shooters and have no reason to mislead.
If you think about what nurses put up with, I’d back a nurse’s word over that of a shiny backsided office dweller any day…..
20
I never said you were misleading people. Ronin, TedM and GlenM did. The nurse provided no evidence.
00
did“believed that to be the case”00
Can the troll add something useful other than accusing people of lying?
00
Original Steve, I think that nurse was saying that the vaccinated are in hospital because of vaccine injury. ToM

The 3000 figure is something [SNIP crass] I can believe that SA is a bit more woke and self-absorbed than people in other states but the deadline has already passed in NSW and 136 health care workers out of 140,000 is just 0.1% resigned over vaccinatination mandate:
The other difference is that NSW has had a bit more first-hand experience with Covid and would readily recognise getting vaccinated is the better choice.
129
People are being coerced. My friend, a front-line health worker in Sydney was forced to take these injections. She is furious about it and her co-workers are too. But what can they do? Household debts and living costs are sky high and for some, partners have lost their jobs (slaves to money). One thing my friend told me and given her war stories, no way is she vaxxing her kids.

Is the Poop Catholic?
The odor coming off Biden is undeniable.
A rumor circulated Sunday. By Monday, it had wafted all over Twitter and other social media — which had it that Joe Biden’s meeting with Pope Francis at the Vatican was interrupted thanks to an unexpected event.
Namely, that the occupant of the White House had a bowel malfunction in mid-conversation with the pontiff, and was shortly whisked away to a less public locale — one which afforded Biden more privacy than, say, Kyrsten Sinema is given nowadays — that he might recover his dignity.
Within hours, thanks to the immensely influential Catturd Twitter page, #PoopGate and #PoopyPantsBiden shot to the top of the hashtag rankings in the same manner that “Let’s Go, Brandon” songs began dominating the iTunes download charts.
Snopes swears up and down that there is no basis to the story. Perhaps that’s correct, though a nation already weary of the stench from Biden’s fiscal, economic, and foreign-policy incontinence cannot help but wonder if this rumor is connected at all to the infamous “My butt’s been wiped!” outburst on the White House lawn not long ago.
210
Biden’s accident
The twitterverse is all abuzz over a #1 trending hashtag, #PoopypantsBiden, so at the risk of soiling my very soul, I perused Twitter’s website to see why.
The story starts with our president meeting the pope at the Vatican, presumably to discuss Jesus’s thoughts about climate change and whether one can claim to be a good Catholic while facilitating the dismemberment of unborn babies.
Three things stood out about the meeting.
The third strange item is Vatican photos that appear to show Biden wearing a blue suit and later, in the same meeting, wearing a black one. Now, why would an old, feeble man need to change his pants? As someone who’s arrived at old and is fast approaching feeble, I know the answer, and it rhymes with Descartes. And should someone wearing a suit accidentally Descartes, it takes a good while to get out of all those clothes, clean up the affected area, and totally re-dress.

Delta sub-variant expected to be dominant in UK by January
AY.4.2 thought to be at least 10 per cent more transmissible than original Delta variant
An offshoot of the Delta coronavirus variant which is slowly spreading throughout the UK is expected to be dominant within a matter of months, experts believe.
Known as AY.4.2, the sub-variant is thought to be at least 10 cent more transmissible than its predecessor, with analysis underway to determine what accounts for its increased infectiousness.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has said that early tests do not suggest that AY.4.2, which has been labelled a ‘Variant Under Investigation’, has acquired the ability to evade immunity generated by infection or injection.
Nor are the sub-variant’s new mutations associated with significantly improving the virus’ ability to bind and gain entry to human cells, experts have said.
Nonetheless, AY.4.2 is continuing to account for a growing proportion of cases with each passing week. Between 18 and 24 October, it made up 11.3 per cent of all sequenced infections in the UK. Two weeks before this figure stood at 8.5 per cent.
80
Hopefully the variants are becoming less harmful. A case of the sniffles is nothing to fear.
110
Not if we keep vaccinating towards 100%. The selection pressure then evolves towards immune escape rather than the natural more infectious, less harmful path so the variants could go in any direction in terms of harmfulness.
The worst outcome, of course, is one that is highly infectious, suppressed but not prevented by the vaccines and harmful to the unvaccinated since the continual booster merry-go-round becomes the only “solution” (if effective anti-virals remain barred)
70
The data I saw a week ago said that Delta is about 10% as dangerous as the original variant so if the original has a mortality rate on par with the annual flu then Delta is really trivial (although more infectious)!
But the government lies just keep rolling on.
2022 will be the game changer but as I’ve said all along, the damage will be done by then.
Pro-vax, anti fake-vax and proudly so.
210
Because you are looking at death rate in mostly vaccinated people.
India recorded 92k daily cases and 1.15k deaths in the wuhan wave and 391k daily cases with 4.1k daily deaths. So death rate 1.25% wuhan wave and 1.04% delta wave. The delta wave was so severe that the death count is not accurate – even so the numbers are comparable.
The delta wave resulted in a higher death rate in Indonesia – wuhan 2.28% and delta 3.56%.
Only countries that have high level of vaccinated people have dramatically reduced the death rate. Singapore has a death rate of 0.3%.

I have been dismayed at the lack of dissent – or even opinion – offered publicly by the “Human Rights” brigade, or indeed, by any of the Ethics academics – on the gross attacks on liberties during the pandemic by governments throughout the West.
Finally, an Ethics academic has appealed publicly – and sublimely – for resistance.

A buildup of warm water west of Indonesian is a sign that the IOD is negative and, coupled with an intense La Nina, sea level is bound to fall.

Could be resurgence of cyclones in the northwest. It seems quite a while since the Pilbara has had a few decent cyclones in a season:
https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/overlay=cape/orthographic=-240.26,-9.08,530/loc=120.564,-10.865
CAPE up near 3000J/kg is the sort of level that spawns cyclones. The water to the west of Darwin is warm enough to spin up a cyclone now.

A LONG while Rick. Missed the last La Niña period.

I think the northwest dances to a different tune than El Nino/La Nina.
Southwest WA has had good rainfall in the last couple of years.

This La Nina expected to be stronger than the previous one.

I haven’t attempted to correlate WA NW cyclone activity to La Niña periods, but I thought that was some correlation.
20
‘During La Niña, there are typically more tropical cyclones in the Australia region, with twice as many making landfall than during El Niño years on average 5. … This means an increased likelihood of major damage and flooding related to strong winds, high seas and heavy rains from tropical cyclones.’ (BoM)
00
It’s getting late on for a – IOD given that November is upon us. But I’ll go along with the obvious indicators. As I said previously there has been no conducive advection from the surface for months- the winds blowing away from the continent. Now everything seems to be together from the Indian to the Pacific. Cyclones galore? Massive floods? Bushfires may be out. God’s dice.

And if Bolt is given the elbow then we will have to look for a new Media Champion !

We drove down the east coast of Australia during November 2019 as the fires were burning in northern NSW. I was horrified looking at how houses around Nowra and further south into Victoria had been built in forests – that was before the fires got that far south. The amount of tree litter on the ground was as if someone had prepared it all to burn.
We stayed in a property north of Newcastle for a couple of nights during the trip. The property owner told as that their council did not permit eucalyptus trees to be grown within 50m of a dwelling. That was based on previous sad experience. There were a few moderate size trees within 10m of the house but they were more fireresitent varieties.
Trees are growing faster and that makes management more demanding but the death of the forestry industry in Australia means forestry management is dying. The only solution is to let it burn and have very large fire breaks to dwellings. It is crazy spending ever increasing amounts on fire fighting because it just makes the eventual blaze more severe.
Melbourne had gusty winds last week – up to 120kph, which is about as strong as it gets here. There are now many suburban trees damaged as a result. The week before, our council trimmed a large towering grey gum that was on the footpath within a few metres of two dwellings. It suffered no damage and likely trimmed just in time. Many others were not so lucky and houses destroyed by large trees allowed to grow too big, too close to dwellings.
71
One of our relatives got burnt out and another singed in Batemans Bay in the last round. As you say the places people where building looked insane to me, coming from a previous fire disaster area. Then you get idiot councillors getting their heads on the media saying its climate change.
180
Whilst building in forrested areas increases the fire risk, you have to remember how many properties in communities were burnt. A 50m fire break sounds useful, but if you have seen a bush fire of the 2019/20 magnitude with a “ blizzard” of burning embers 10 mts high, traveling horozontally at 50 km/hr,…. then you realise that firebreaks count for little .!
House roof rain gutters and the ventilation gaps into the roofspace, together with the common method of building houses on “stumps” creating a bone dry crawl space for leaf litter to get blown into……are major fire hazzards that are not easy to protect against those ember storms that can be kms ahead of the main fire front.
Even in areas that had some of the worst fires, the wooded areas are still loaded with timber litter on the ground from fire damaged trees. If we have another long dry spell …and a fire starts,…it will burn again !
50
With five years of cool wet conditions ahead, no bushfires should be expected for half a decade.
20
Dont they have fire related building standards in NSW? as an example you cant build a house with open stumps in a serious fire zone in VIC

At absolutely no cost to the USA while they have the sole privilege of creating the world’s money with a few key strokes. But it will fuel inflation and devalue the USD. As the value of USDs erodes the desire for countries and individuals to hold them as a store of value will decline. China is waiting in the wings salivating at the prospect of creating the new world money. It will be backed by serious military might and unrivalled global manufacturing capability – the result of fuelling their economy with 4Gt of coal every year.

Rubbish post. The US Dollar is the best of a bad lot. China does not have the capacity yet to have a Reserve Currency. One day maybe but not for the next 10 years depending on which way the USA goes. AND there will be NO Hyperinflation. Donald Trump for US President in 2024………..

The USD could end its privileged position as the world money within Biden’s term. Its demise will accelerate with it being gifted to the UN climate fund. All countries will question the need to hold USD denominated paper. One thing history has shown is money collapse can occur rapidly.
USA owes the world almost 12 months entire economic output at present GDP. That is real debt and USA no longer has the might to back it. In fact USA is becoming even more reliant on the rest of the world as Biden’s administration strangles access to energy and other raw materials. Solar powered tanks only work in daylight!

It’s interesting that the French say they have been deceived. It’s all about the money, not deceit. After all they were the ones converting a nuclear powered submarine at our expense into an ancient diesel powered one of little use in a country which has no diesel. And this at many times the opening price, soaring to perhaps $250Billion which is $24Billion per submarine.
You could buy a lot of other weapons for $24Billion each. Abrams Tanks are about $6Million each, so 40,000 of those. F18s are $67million, so 4,000 of those. And the American Virginia class are $5Billion each, so 50 of those. And who knows how much submarine drones cost? Even China has pilotless jet drones at much lower cost, matching the latest US versions.
12 useless submarines at incredible cost and the French knew it, vast amounts money for nothing and more jobs for Frenchmen at our expense. And everyone had the plans.
So when did France last fight to protect Australia? Wasn’t it Australia who went to WWI, WWII, French IndoChina/Vietnam to protect the French? It’s not about morality or the product. It’s about rivers of money for nothing from those mugs in Australia. And if it is about deceit and being misled, the shoe is on the wrong foot.
310
Underwater Drones are the way to go……………….A heck of a lot cheaper……………
50
How does command and control of underwater drones work?
Pine Gap near The Alice is the sort of facility needed to communicate with submerged subs.
From wiki:
ELF transmissions
The coding used for U.S. military ELF transmissions employed a Reed–Solomon error correction code using 64 symbols, each represented by a very long pseudo-random sequence. The entire transmission was then encrypted. The advantages of such a technique are that by correlating multiple transmissions, a message could be completed even with very low signal-to-noise ratios, and because only a very few pseudo-random sequences represented actual message characters, there was a very high probability that if a message was successfully received, it was a valid message (anti-spoofing).
The communication link is one-way. No submarine could have its own ELF transmitter on board, due to the sheer size of such a device. Attempts to design a transmitter which can be immersed in the sea or flown on an aircraft were soon abandoned.
Owing to the limited bandwidth, information can only be transmitted very slowly, on the order of a few characters per minute (see Shannon’s coding theorem). Thus it was only ever used by the US navy to give instructions to establish another form of communication[10] and it is reasonable to assume[why?] that the actual messages were mostly generic instructions or requests to establish a different form of two-way communication with the relevant authority.[citation needed]

Submarine communication more likely from the Harold E Holt naval communication centre at Exmouth WA

Australia went into “French IndoChina/Vietnam to protect the French?”.?
The French had long gone by then. Complex, but the U.S.and Australia were fighting Russia and China. If it had only been about the internal wrangling about the South not wanting to be communist then the Australian U.S. presence would have been unjustified.
It’s no coincidence that after 1975 there was the violent war with China and the introduction of the Russian language into Vietnamese schools.

You can predict the weather from the ocean currents which so obviously dominate it totally. And you can predict CO2 levels from water surface temperature because 98% of CO2 is dissolved in the oceans.
The air temperature can change 40C in a day, but the ocean temperature changes little day to night and that’s just the surface. The thin air above our Waterworld is driven by that massive heat bank we call the oceans. Rapid man made Climate Change is just nonsense. And it is now history because it didn’t happen.
Unbelievably, the copywriters at NASA now say that the oceans ‘stole’ the warming. They need to get a new job.

On vitamin D from DarkHorse Podcast Clips

Some of the left are sick of the left, and the rest of the left are not happy to see such infighting. I see political chaos next year as the left try to retain their crumbling power base. Something has to give, and when it does it will be violent since a lot of people of the left will not be happy. It will very likely go far beyond just spitting the dummy. It would be nice if the left will just eat each up and disappear but I suspect they will not go away quietly.

Something Really Strange Is Happening At Hospitals All Over America
In a year that has been filled with so many mysteries already, I have another very odd one to share with you. Emergency rooms are filled to overflowing all over America, and nobody can seem to explain why this is happening. Right now, the number of new COVID cases in the United States each day is less than half of what it was just a couple of months ago. That is really good news, and many believe that this is a sign that the pandemic is fading. Let us hope that is true. With less people catching the virus, you would think that would mean that our emergency rooms should be emptying out, but the opposite is actually happening. All across the country, emergency rooms are absolutely packed, and in many cases we are seeing seriously ill patients being cared for in the hallways because all of the ER rooms are already full.
Can anyone explain why this is happening?
If the number of COVID cases was starting to spike again, it would make sense for emergency rooms to be overflowing.
But at this particular hospital in Michigan, we are being told that some of the main things that are being treated include “abdominal pain”, “respiratory problems”, “blood clots” and “heart conditions”…
Months of treatment delays have exacerbated chronic conditions and worsened symptoms. Doctors and nurses say the severity of illness ranges widely and includes abdominal pain, respiratory problems, blood clots, heart conditions and suicide attempts, among other conditions.
That mention of “heart conditions” immediately got my attention, because I have been seeing this so much in the news recently.
180
The truth will find a way out. I hope the increased ER rate is coincidental. I fear it is not.

And the BBC no longer sees that pushing man made Climate Change/warming is controversial
“The director-general of the BBC has said the science of climate change is “no longer politically controversial” and a pledge to increase coverage of the topic would not affect the broadcaster’s impartiality.
Asked whether making climate change central to BBC programming would be seen as “political”, Mr Davie told a panel of TV bosses at the Cop26 summit in Glasgow: “I don’t think it’s politically controversial now. The overwhelming consensus is that we as humanity are causing global warming. ”
So science (of Climate Change) is decided by political consensus and the BBC decides what is the political consensus. All hail the BBC.
What happened to science? And when was there ever a BBC debate on this alleged science? Between scientists. And when was man made Climate Change/Global Warming ever proven?
150
Consensus “science” is not science, it’s politics.

In my book a “Consensus science” decision translates as “Lets finish this of now.The coffee is getting cold”

I was surprised to see that Wikipedia had a section on consensus science, as though it was a legitimate scientific methodology.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_consensus
70
The usual post modernist demolition of rational science as taught at university in Education degrees. Real science should explain the historical facts, which man made CO2 driven global warming does not, unless you eliminate the little ice age and draw a hockey stick. And should fit the future, which it has not after 33 years of wrong predictions, all of them. Now we are being told that it is true simply because a very large number of people make their living from it? What sort of scientific proof is that?
60
And they push the line that no scientific theory can be proven. Utter rubbish. Newton was not wrong. His Laws do not apply to atoms or electromagnetism or black holes and galaxies, but work very well on everything in between.
Popper would say he was proven wrong, which means he had no idea of what it means to have a working model. Models are not explanations but reliable ways of accurately predicting what will happen and explaining what has happened. On all counts Climate models are all busted. And there has never been a proof that CO2 causes planetary warming. Rather the fact that CO2 is still climbing steadily and satellites show world temperatures have not changed in 40 years means it is just wrong.
The Law of Consensus Science is that being entirely wrong is of no consequence if there is a lot of money involved, thousands of billions a year.

The COP26 menu is ‘like serving cigarettes at a lung cancer conference’
Climate and conservation groups have questioned the sustainability of the COP26 menu, which is almost 60 per cent meat or dairy based.
SARAH WILSON
2 Nov 2021
You might expect the world’s biggest climate change conference to opt for eco-friendly menus, given the clamour to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. Yet the menu at COP26 in Glasgow is almost 60 per cent meat or dairy with dishes labelled as high-carbon at almost every food stand, a move which ‘beggars belief” according to climate and conservation campaigners.

Again this ignorance of basic chemistry from the scientifically illiterate AGW clown. .
A cow cannot chemically or physically put out any more “carbon” than they take in.
They are carbon neutral.
Just part of the carbon cycle.
100
Agreed but the attack on cows by communist vegans is more subtle. Their logic is that ruminants (termites are more significant) turn carbon into CH4 not CO2 and CH4 is 30x more powerful as a greenhouse gas than CO2. So the cows have to go. Don’t bother making this quantitative. Cows are evil. And they have to be saved from becoming hamburgers, so get rid of them.
And the termites have to go too.
In a world without humans, say 100,000 years ago and for hundreds of millions of years, the planet was covered in herbivores. More grass means more herbivores. While cows replaced bison, I doubt the overall numbers are any different.
It is in the general eco warrior world view that (other) humans are a cancer on the planet. Get rid of the humans and their livestock and the planet will be saved. Why? For whom?
As Dr. Patrick Moore founder of Greenpeace wrote yearse after he left, Greeenpeace had become the enemy of humanity, taken over by communists and lawyers who still feast on the hundreds of millions in free money from well meaning people. In their 2020 report the income was EU90 Million. And you have to keep finding things to do with all that money, apart from the 500+ full time people.
140
CH4 is fairly quickly converted to CO2 in the atmosphere.
Facts like that don’t matter, though, do they !
80
How does that happen? I am surprised that any hydrocarbon degrades in the atmosphere.
But if you ignore all the predictions of doom, the figure I can get from the internet is that Methane is 0.00017% of the atmosphere. Add the promoted idea of x30 and you get 0.0058% against 0.04% CO2, so 1/7th of the size. It is hardly worth eliminating all the herbivores for a 13% effect.
And 30x nothing is still nothing, but there is no great problem with CH4. It’s another fairy tale. Both are transparent at most frequencies and water covers 75% of the planet anyway, so there is little back radiation. Like all of man made Global Warming aka Climate Change, it is incredibly implausible, does not fit the facts and busted by the fact that warming has not happened, in case no one noticed.
60
It’s the great wonder of man made CO2 driven (plus CH4) Global Warming, that the lack of warming is completely irrelevant. But it has made famous men of people who would not qualify as competent scientists at all, like Professor Tim Flannery. A nation’s Chief Climate Scientist who is utterly unqualified in science, unless the study of dead wombats qualifies.
50
How dare you 🙂
Back radiation™ is real.

Very good David. Especially the final bit about 40% of our food being wasted and generating methane.
30
According to a 2019 EPA study, enteric fermentation from all sources is 27% of the methane total, of which cows generate a very small amount. There is estimated to be around 570 million tonnes of methane generated annually, of which cows generate only 1.3 to 1.5 million tonnes, or 0.24% of the total. Termites are estimated to produce around 20 million tonnes annually. Other insects that produce methane include cockroaches and centipedes. It’s interesting that CO2 is quoted in ppm, while methane is quoted in ppb, presumably to make the number appear bigger.
60
Vegan, tribal name for lousy hunter.

What about the North American Bison, the Gnus of Africa, the sacred cows of India and many others. Good luck with that lot. What a load of BS………………….
00
I think cows [prolly the only ruminants “they” know] are in the crosshairs because of the methane they “fart”, but again they demonstrate ignorance, the methane is generated in the rumen which is a mini microbic still pre-digesting a coarse fibre diet. After gulping down grass on the open plain the ruminant retires to a safe, shady place and chews its cud at leisure. Cattle are, as you say, part of the cycle. If the cattle didn’t eat the coarse fibre it would “go to waste” and burn or be cycled by microbes with the same result.

“Accurate To Plus Or Minus 3 Percentage Points”
http://www.smalldeadanimals.com/2021/11/04/accurate-to-plus-or-minus-3-percentage-points/#comments
I guess we assume the same emthodology?
20
What I find passing strange is that there is a branch of atmospheric science which studies the ancient atmosphere, but there seems to be no cross-talk between them and modernists (or perhaps there is, but the comparisons are blocked as “non-narrative”). As I read it, several billion years ago, prior to the rise of photosynthetic micro-organisms about 2 billion years ago which oxygenated our air, the atmosphere comprised, inter alia, SEVERAL % methane (20x more powerful a GHG as CO2) and CO2. That is, 20,000 ppm of each, give or take. Yet the seas didn’t boil, Venus 2 didn’t arise, and conditions were seemingly perfect for anaerobes and evolving aerobes. Conversely, the rise of plants which took vast quantities of atmospheric CO2 and turned it into coal (thanks!), dropping CO2 levels by a factor of a hundred, didn’t turn the earth into a snowball. Yet here, we are talking low hundreds of ppm CO2 and parts per BILLION of methane leading us to certain doom. What gives?
100
They seem to have forgotten everything, that was then and this is now. The zealots believe that an increase in CO2 has warmed the planet and climate before last century has no relation to the drama we are seeing now.
They have a linear perspective which ignores natural cycles.

Pfizer Produces Creepy Vaccination Propaganda Video Targeting Kids – Reminder, Only 27 Percent of Parents Comfortable With This Political Vaccination
November 3, 2021 | Sundance | 282 Comments
Before getting to a seriously deranged propaganda commercial presented by Pfizer, let me first outline some context.
Modern Democrats and leftists -writ large- celebrate childless families. Modern Democrats advocate for not having children and enjoying the freedom that comes from a childless life.
Democrats promote abortion even at the last moments before natural birth (ie. #ShoutYourAbortion), and consider children to be “anchors” (Obama’s term) that stop people from enjoying a productive life focused on professional advancement.
Everything in the expressed policies of the modern Democrats is about not having children or becoming parents. Sure they talk about children, but only from the perspective of political benefit. Children are a point of advocacy for them; yet most influential modern leftists do not have children.
Democrats and leftists also claim not having children is the most environmentally responsible conduct. They intentionally erode the institution of marriage, and inside their policies they advocate for the government to replace two parent households. Single parenting is supported by funding and direct subsidy; and the ability to be disconnected from direct childcare and parental responsibility is part of their platform. The state replaces the role of parent.
As a direct result, an entire generation of brainwashed twenty-somethings have no desire to have children. Additionally, as a natural outcome of this generational approach, the children that do exist within society are overwhelmingly from parents who are not in alignment with mainstream leftism.
U.S. Democrats, in generalized terms, no longer have a direct and personal connection to raising children. A very large percentage of leftist political advocates are childless. That is the generational context that is growing more stark as each year passes. There are fewer and fewer children from people who define themselves as Democrats. However, you will note these childless leftist activists are also at the center of policies that touch the lives of parents.
One example would be the School Boards recently in the headlines that are often occupied by childless leftists and ideologues who align with communal outlooks toward children. They do not have children themselves, but they believe your children belong to them.
80
With the uptake in worldwide cases of vaxxed kids getting sick primarily with heart related issues, I’m seeing a significant increase in advertising. Billboards, bus signage etc all promoting the notion that heart problems in young people is normal.
No doubt in an effort to disguise the obvious.

Biden’s Response to a Question About Giving $450,000 to Illegal Aliens in DOJ Settlement Case SHOULD ALARM EVERYONE
November 3, 2021 | Sundance
Within the response which includes “that’s not going to happen“, it is clear that Joe Biden has absolutely NO IDEA what the journalist was talking about. From the position of Joe Biden, the Fox reporter was speaking ‘fake news’. WATCH:
The headline from this response should not be Joe Biden saying “that’s not going to happen“; the screaming alarm bell headline should be: President Biden Has No Idea DOJ, DHS and HHS Entered Settlement with Immigration Lawyers to Pay $450,000 Per Person.
The bigger issue is not paying the illegal aliens a settlement, the bigger issue is Joe Biden having no idea about it.
This showcases a puppet president who has no idea what is going on around him. This isn’t an issue of not knowing something that was in a congressional bill, or not knowing details of a Dept of Labor ruling. This is the Joe Biden Executive Branch operating unilaterally without involving Joe Biden.
The President of the United States doesn’t know about what is going on in his own administration, because the office of the presidency is an irrelevant agency to the people who are operating behind the curtain. THAT is what Joe Biden’s response highlighted.

Where is national pride, why won’t Australians embrace EV for the sake of the environment and reducing fuel and oil imports and other good reasons?
According the EV Industry our governments should be providing more incentives, after all the cheapest EV are small cars not family cars and priced at about double the same model ICEV so taxpayers should subsidise the other Australians who can afford a second car EV, shouldn’t we?
Ignore the source of grid electricity being mostly from fossil fuelled generators and that so called renewables are unreliable and at best supply up to about 15 per cent of electricity, EV is better for the environment than ICEV burning liquid fossil fuels more efficiently. Or that to travel a given distance the weight and cost of the EV batteries is far more than a fuel tank full of fuel, think about the environment.
It’s no joke, the becoming desperate EV Industry is lobbying for government support.
They should be told about Mr Henry Ford who invented and pt into production his Model T ICEV and succeeded in making profits because his invention was cost effective and provided buyers with convenience in personal transport, range and simplicity of refuelling, even carrying spare cans of fuel when travelling long distances.
In other words, our society was built on free enterprise, free market (leftists call capitalism), let the consumers choose the winners and losers.
Apparently the EV Industry isn’t having a lot of success with consumers.
50
Possibly Cost could be a problem?
Peugeot is only offering the 3008 plug-in hybrid in the well-equipped GT Sport specification with prices starting at $79,990 before on-road costs.
This is about $25,000 more than the equivalent petrol-only model.
The plug-in hybrid brings a big jump in performance combining a 147kW four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine with two electric motors – one on each axle – combining for 222kW.

With due consideration for the French Ambassador breaking with convention to criticise the Australian Prime Minister at the National Press Club in Canberra, diplomats do not become involved in the politics of the nation where they are representing their own country, I believe that Australians should avoid French imported products as we did when that country was polluting our atmosphere with nuclear tests and when they sank the Rainbow Warrior ship in Auckland Harbour using French Commandoes.

Italy Reduces COVID-19 Death Toll by a Whopping 97%
Italy’s Institute of Health now counts only those who died from COVID-19 has having died from COVID-19, reducing COVID-19 deaths in the hard-hit country from over 130,000 to fewer than 4,000.
That’s a 97% decrease.
“Of the … 130,468 deaths registered as official COVID deaths since the start of the pandemic, only 3,783 are directly attributable to the virus alone,” reports Summit News.
As the Daily Sceptic’s Toby Young wrote on Thursday, “All the other Italians who lost their lives had from between one and five pre-existing diseases. Of those aged over 67 who died, 7% had more than three co-morbidities, and 18% at least two.”
PJ Media has been publishing articles since at least last summer, reminding readers of the vast difference between dying from COVID and dying with COVID.
I concluded around that time that COVID kills almost exclusively those — and I hope this still doesn’t sound too callous — who were already on their way out the door.
It only took a year and a half, but now the Italian Institute of Health has confirmed what many of us already knew.

Is it allowable to do that; that’s telling the truth.

Here it is: OSHA finally issues vaccine mandate for large companies — but it won’t take effect until next year
No wonder it took them two months to publish the new rule. It’s 490 pages long.
May I suggest the three-page fact sheet for your reading pleasure instead? – https://www.osha.gov/sites/default/files/publications/OSHA4162.pdf
The newsiest part of today’s announcement is that the mandate won’t take effect immediately. It’s postponed until January 4, which the White House claims will help “streamline implementation and make it easier for business and employees to comply with the requirements,” per CNN. In truth, they postponed it because companies warned them that having to lay off anti-vax employees right before the holidays won’t be good for business, particularly at a moment when supply chains are already disrupted.
Having just been obliterated at the polls, Biden and his party wisely concluded that they didn’t need one of his policies taking the blame for ruining Thanksgiving and Christmas too.
Two rules were issued this morning. One is the OSHA vax-or-test mandate for businesses, requiring people who work for companies with 100 or more employees to either get their shots or get tested weekly (and wear a mask on the job.) The other is a rule from CMS aimed at health-care workers specifically. There’s no testing option in that one; if you want to work around sick, vulnerable people, it’s vaccination or bust.
But note whose health the agency claims to be concerned with in its rule: Unvaccinated workers, not their vaccinated colleagues who are at risk of being infected by them in a shared indoor space. Essentially, the feds are taking a “for your own good” approach to justify their mandate, forcing the unvaxxed to get immunized to mitigate their own personal risk of illness. They could have come at this from the other way, arguing that because the unvaxxed are more likely to infect others, have higher viral loads, etc, they need to be vaccinated to reduce the risk they pose to all of their colleagues.
“For your own good” is an awfully slippery slope for federal health regulations. Obesity is a “grave danger” to the health of an obese person but not to the health of those around him. Based on today’s standard, shouldn’t OSHA be able to set workplace rules aimed at preventing overweight employees from gaining weight on the job? No vending machines at work, for instance? Or no access to vending machines if you’re above a certain BMI?

San Francisco to Force Children as Young as 5-Years-Old to Carry Vaccine Passports, Show Proof of Vaccination
Children aged five to 11 will be forced to prove they are vaccinated if they want to enter restaurants and entertainment venues.
The progressive city became the first in the country to impose strict vaccine mandates for indoor venues in August for all children and adults over 12.
City officials plan to extend such requirements to children as young as five and made the announcement at a town hall meeting Tuesday, the same day the CDC granted emergency approval for that age group to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech shot.
San Francisco Health Officer Susan Philip said the city would give children roughly two months to get fully vaccinated before they must show their vaccination passports or be turned away from local establishments.

And more crypto currencies based on extremely energy hungry technology. What does COP26 have to say about fundamentally uncessary block chain currencies of which Bitcoin alone uses more electricity than Austria or Venezuela. Nothing.
COP26 sticks to slaughter the animals, build windmills and solar panels and stop making metals, concrete and fertilizer and most importantly get rid of national autonomy. Why? To save the planet from Climate Change. The UN Says so. And who will run the planet? The unelected bureaucrats of the United Nations. Or China.

Most people would not be aware of this, but the huge get rich quick Block chain industry is so distorting the computer market that the games players cannot afford the latest high performance graphics cards as the blockchain miners are soaking up all production and making such graphics cards unaffordable.
Between the booming mobile phone industry and blockchain it will become very hard to even get the computer chips for such mundane applications as aircraft, cars and manufacturing and other devices. And as before, blockchain is starting to seriously impact electricity prices and supply, fundamental resources. The world is building power stations for speculators, a cancer on the world energy supply. And the massive IT industry says nothing as the trillions roll in. And COP26 says nothing.

The hospitals in Australia are being overrun. Not from Covid. And no one can explain why.
(From Alex Berenson’s email feed)
Nov 4
So said Mark McGowan, the premier of Western Australia – which has almost 3 million people – in an interview with Sky News Australia on Sun., Oct. 31.
Here’s his exact quotation:
‘Our hospitals are under enormous pressure. This is the same in [the rest of Australia]. This has been something no one has ever seen before, the growth in demand in our hospitals, why it is is hard, hard to know… There is huge numbers of people coming through the door, so we’re doing everything we can to try to manage it.”
To be clear, Covid is not causing the hospital crisis in Western Australia. The state has incredibly strict border restrictions, even by Australian standards, and almost no cases.
But – like the rest of Australia – it has very high vaccination rates

Even Noticed in America and states the obvious – What else could the problem be other than the vaccinations causing hospitalizations?
Something Very Weird Happening in Western Australia – Hospitals Overwhelmed, Vaccinations Continue But They Have No COVID
November 4, 2021 | Sundance | 90 Comments
Noted by Alex Berenson, something very weird is happening in the state of Western Australia (WA) home to a population of almost 3 million people. The WA state has been locked down and isolated from the COVID-19 impacts in the eastern states.
There are very few COVID cases in locked down Western Australia, which has allowed them time to prepare for the potential arrival of the virus which includes a massive vaccination effort. The state has modeled an anticipated arrival of the COVID virus in early 2022, early next year. However, as the vaccination rates increase, the hospitals are being overwhelmed with new patients and the Premier cannot explain why.
Alex Berernson notes comments made by WA Premier Mark McGowan on October 31st about hospitals being currently overwhelmed.
Obviously something is very wrong:
COVID-19, or any variant therein, is non-existent in the Western Australia population.
The Western Australia population is being vaccinated.
The hospitals in Western Australia are now overwhelmed, and not by COVID-19.
What else could the problem be other than the vaccinations causing hospitalizations?
Premier McGowan looks like a politician in a very difficult position…..

Something Really Strange Is Happening At Hospitals All Over America
In a year that has been filled with so many mysteries already, I have another very odd one to share with you. Emergency rooms are filled to overflowing all over America, and nobody can seem to explain why this is happening. Right now, the number of new COVID cases in the United States each day is less than half of what it was just a couple of months ago. That is really good news, and many believe that this is a sign that the pandemic is fading. Let us hope that is true. With less people catching the virus, you would think that would mean that our emergency rooms should be emptying out, but the opposite is actually happening. All across the country, emergency rooms are absolutely packed, and in many cases we are seeing seriously ill patients being cared for in the hallways because all of the ER rooms are already full.

Are the unvaxxinated the risk takers or is it the vaxxinated?
Sometimes things come to light but you may be sure that those who wish to cover us in darkness do everything they can to stop any of this being made known. And what you would really like to know is why these nurses prefer to stay unvaxxinated.
There is also this which is similar but from the United States: Falsified data: Pfizer vaccine trials had major flaws, whistleblower tells.

According to the indictment, Danchenko lied about his contacts with “Russians,” his travels to Russia, and the identity of his sources. (Those are just some of the lies.) In John Durham’s words:

The stuff of nightmares.
NZ Director General of Health – Dr Doomfield – oops, er, Bloomfield proudly announced yesterday the purchase of another 4.7 million doses of, you guessed it – Pfizer “vaccines” for a population of 5.1 million. This is to take into account they are going to jab 5 year olds and up and start giving out “boosters” (a significant part of the population is not yet double jabbed). Pfizer and Moderna’s profits so far are eyewatering and they are set to make double that next year.
In the meantime, a rest home in Auckland, where the vast majority of residents and all the staff are double jabbed have an outbreak of Covid. 15 residents are positive, four are in hospital and 4 staff are positive. It was introduced by a double jabbed staff member. Authorities are scratching their heads as this home has been under strict lockdown since August.
The 7 day hard and fast lockdown is in its 11th week and now the govt is getting petty by wanting to restrict Aucklanders even more by complicated restrictions over summer that punishes anyone not double jabbed. PM getting antsy as she is getting heckled at press conferences and protests in front of her. Seems her admission of a two tier apartheid society isn’t going down too well.

Pfizer to pay $2.3 billion, agrees to criminal plea
NEW YORK/WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Pfizer Inc agreed on Wednesday to plead guilty to a U.S. criminal charge relating to promotion of its now-withdrawn Bextra pain medicine and will pay a record $2.3 billion to settle allegations it improperly marketed 13 medicines.
The world’s biggest drugmaker was slapped with the huge fines by the U.S. government after being deemed a repeat offender in pitching drugs to patients and doctors for unapproved uses.
Pfizer pleaded guilty in 2004 to an earlier criminal charge of improper sales tactics and its practices have been under U.S. supervision since then.
“If another one of these charges crops up, it would raise questions whether Jeff Kindler is keeping everyone at Pfizer on a tight enough leash,” said Miller Tabak analyst Les Funtleyder, referring to Pfizer’s chief executive officer.

WikiLeaks: Drug firms tried to ditch Clark
Drug companies tried to get rid of Helen Clark when she was health minister, leaked US Embassy cables claim.
They also claim that one major drug firm so strongly objected to restrictive drug buying rules that it lobbied against New Zealand getting a Free Trade Agreement with the US.
The cables reveal that the drug industry changed tactics in trying to get New Zealand to change its drug pricing policy.
Instead of directly lobbying the Government, the embassy was told of plans to agitate patients by providing them with information about drugs that weren’t available. It would “educate New Zealanders.”
Also, Pfizer would “oppose free-trade negotiations” until the New Zealand Government changed policy.

Anger at deadly Nigerian drug trials
In school, Anas Mohammadu’s mates call him “horror” and make fun of him.
But Anas is lucky to be alive.
Deformities
Other children who were used in the controversial 1996 drug trial by US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer died.
Anas, then only three years old, was the first child to be given the experimental antibiotic Trovan at the Infectious Diseases Hospital, Kano, during the drug trial.
Pfizer tested the then unregistered drug in Nigeria’s north-western Kano State during an outbreak of meningitis which had affected thousands of children.
Officials in Kano say more than 50 children died in the experiment, while many others developed mental and physical deformities.
But Pfizer says only 11 of the 200 children used in the drug trial died.
“From our records, the fatalities were only 11, but the survival rate was 94 per cent,” Pfizer spokesman in New York, Bryant Haskins, told the BBC News website.

“Here, we report, besides generation of neutralizing antibodies, consistent alterations in hemoglobin A1c, serum sodium and potassium levels, coagulation profiles, and renal functions in healthy volunteers after vaccination with an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Similar changes had also been reported in COVID-19 patients, suggesting that vaccination mimicked an infection.”

What’s more important to Queensland Health than Covid?
Frisky business
Alice Workman
Strewth Editor
Annastacia Palaszczuk wants Queenslanders to give themselves a hand. Literally. If you think the Labor government has become a bit of a toss lately, this Facebook post by Queensland Health could provide a possible explanation: “Masturbation is a normal and healthy part of a person’s sexual experience and a great way to discover what you are comfortable with. The best part is, it’s for everyone – and also offers a wealth of health and sexual health benefits!” Strewth’s spies suggests this may be a PR move by Queensland Health following an incident last year when a patient was advised by a registered nurse to masturbate in the shower, after calling the state government’s 24-hour hotline for over-the-phone advice about severe pain. The department was forced to apologise and investigate. Now Sunshine State sexperts are advertising the handy benefits of onanism, such as reducing menstrual cramps, releasing endorphins that improve mental wellbeing and promoting a positive body image. Queensland Health has penned an article for prudish parents, offering tips on how to talk openly “with kids” about keeping their hands full. We presume they meant to write “with your kids”, not random teens on the street. Steer clear of the internet, it suggests, which is full of masturbation myths and stigmas that can increase feelings of “shame and fear”. There is no “right age” or time for the conversation, but it is “recommended to talk to them about self-pleasuring when they near puberty”. As for the deed itself? Parents should be “encouraging it to occur in a private setting” and ensure that healthy coping mechanisms for stress are in place to “avoid dependence on the activity”. Good advice for any vice that pumps you up.

Ozone hole is getting larger and a cold stratosphere is the cause.
‘The 2021 Antarctic ozone hole reached its maximum area on October 7 and ranks 13th-largest since 1979, scientists from NASA and NOAA reported on October 27, 2021. This year’s ozone hole developed similarly to last year’s: A colder than usual Southern Hemisphere winter led to a deep and larger-than-average ozone hole that will likely persist into November or early December.
“This is a large ozone hole because of the colder than average 2021 stratospheric conditions, and without a Montreal Protocol, it would have been much larger,” said Paul Newman, chief scientist for Earth sciences at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.’ (Scitech Daily)
