    A new study on post covid vax strokes. Dr Robert Malone summarises here.

    In plain language, 5.6 in 1000 people had a stroke after vaccination within a 21 day period. The J&J product was associated with more strokes than the Pfizer or Moderna products. Those who were vaccinated with concurrent COVID-19 infections had an increased risk of either type of stroke.

    It was noted that COVD-19 infection also can increase the risk of stroke (of course, both infection and the vaccines produce spike protein!), what isn’t noted is that the difference between severity of variants (alpha to omicron and beyond) is significant. The data used to make this claim is outdated.\

    I’m not sure that Robert Malone’s 5.6/1000 is correct. It was not what I concluded. However Jo or others here with a much better grasp on statistics than me, may read the paper and report back.

    You will also note (if you read the paper) that a study in France demonstrated a correlation between the vax and myocardial infarction.

    It looks like GM might be the first major car company to flounder on the rocks of wokism.

    I am genuinely pro women in allowing them to achieve their goals but the appointment of a female CEO smacks of tokenism and her hell for leather approach to EVs may bring the company down. They are a bill or so in the red already on EVs and have dropped the ball with ICEs. Their build quality has suffered.

        That’s my thought too. Toyota looks to be walking the line between being gung-ho on zero-emissions and appearing “not to care”. Their work with hydrogen is not a total commitment and I suspect they have research partners sharing costs. IF EVs prove viable they will buy another broke manufacturer for pennies in the $.

      Get woke, go broke.

      Appoint people on merit only, not race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, social status, star sign etc..

      Diversity hires know they are there for that reason and so does everyone else. Such appointments engender little respect from anyone. And they usually cause serious harm or destruction to the companies or organisations they work for.

        That is , and has always been, a very rare , idealistic, situation.
        Most appointments are the result of “networking”, personal relations, or “stooge” placements.

    Has there ever been more hysterical screeching in mainstream media about the heatwaves in parts of Europe and SW USA? No doubt the heat is caused by a wavy jetstream “enhanced” by measuring at ground level, the use of small screens, electronic recordings and strategic placement near highways, air conditioner outlets etc. Are “they” becoming more shrill because they sense they are starting to lose traction with Joe Pubic, or are they simply more brazen?

      Well, to give you some Balance: come to Scotland, Judith the weathergirl, tells us on Radio Highland that we may be in for a +4C tonight. …aye it’s cold for a summer night, and only 16C daytime. Summers have been getting cooler, now, for past 15 years or so, from an overnight camping expedition POV.
      Funny how “everyone” is fixated by Daytime Temps.. look at night time or cloudy ( and they are VERY dark ) daytime temps.

        Its pleasant enough here in the South West Of England with temperatures around 20C. Lots of showers. Nights around 14C. Certainly not a classic hot summer now, after the heat of June. Presumably June was fueled by record CO2 levels and in July 100ppm of CO2 must have been sucked out of the atmosphere without us noticing.

        Steve I am sure you mean heading towards a 46c record. I did a check around the Mediterranean the last few days and nowhere could I see real world figures that approached the record temperatures claimed. Its hot in many places. If you were an ancient Roman you would stop working at midday, fill your frigidarium with ice brought from the mountains in the Spring then retreat to your lakeside villa heavily shaded by trees. You wouldn’t go and sit on the beach like UK tourists have been during the hot weather.

            A vivid memory from my childhood, growing up in Liverpool, is of a summer so hot that the road surface was melting. This made a strange sound as cars rolled by, tearing up the tar, but provided amusement for us kids as we sought bubbles to burst.

            As had been said many times, climate change/global warming is just summer, rebranded.

    As time goes on we realise that the powers that be really REALLY don’t have our best interests at heart .
    But there are people out there doing good things .
    Professor Don Campbell in Melbourne thought that a Heparin nasal spray could be good for preventing viral infection and has been using a self made spray since 2020 and never got covid . Now he is at the stage where a trial is underway and he is looking for more people to sign up .
    Meanwhile a very interesting interview by Dr John with Professor Robert Clancy about a Immunobiotic that utilizes Peyer’s patches that exist in the gut to trigger an immune response in the mucosal system to defeat viruses at the point of entry . This is very interesting :
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elBkEJpvuG8
    or the short version :
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6cfvdG5FU8
    Some more reading :
    https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fimmu.2017.01580/full
    There are now all sorts of safe and mostly effective ways to protect ourselves from viruses – none of which were supported by the powers that be .
    So next time the medical authorities tell us that the only available response is a vaccine – what they really mean is ” We want to kill you ” .
    And we should respond accordingly !

    Amazon is bringing its palm-based payments to all Whole Foods Market stores

    As before, you can hover your palm over a reader to pay for your shopping or make use of your Prime perks. You won’t have to pull out your phone or wallet if you’ve already signed up online.

    Amazon One is already available in 200-plus stores in states like California, New York and Texas. The expansion will bring it to over 500 shops. The tech is also available in some third-party locations.

    It makes sure that alcohol buyers are of legal age, and the deeper nature of the scans (which look at both the palm and veins) create a distinctive vector “signature” that supposedly can’t be copied.

    Hackers use a fake wax hand to fool vein authentication security

    Vein authentication, a biometric security method that scans the veins in your hand, has been cracked, reports Motherboard. Using a fake hand made out of wax, Jan Krissler and Julian Albrecht demonstrated how they were able to bypass scanners made by both Hitachi and Fujitsu, which they claim covers around 95 percent of the vein authentication market. The method was demonstrated at Germany’s annual Chaos Communication Congress.

    While imprints of fingerprints can often be left behind on surfaces just by touching them, vein patterns cannot, and are considered to be much more secure as a result. However, this wasn’t a problem for the researchers, who were able to copy their target’s vein layout from a photograph taken with an SLR camera modified to remove its infrared filter.

    Speech and instructions written for President Nixon in the event that the Apollo 11 astronauts became stranded on the moon and were still alive but would die there.

    July 18, 1969.

    IN EVENT OF MOON DISASTER:

    Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace.

    These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice.

    These two men are laying down their lives in mankind’s most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding.

    They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be mourned by their nation; they will be mourned by the people of the world; they will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown.

    In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in their sacrifice, they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man.

    In ancient days, men looked at stars and saw their heroes in the constellations. In modern times, we do much the same, but our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood.

    Others will follow, and surely find their way home. Man’s search will not be denied. But these men were the first, and they will remain the foremost in our hearts.

    For every human being who looks up at the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind.

    PRIOR TO THE PRESIDENT’S STATEMENT:
    The President should telephone each of the widows-to-be.

    AFTER THE PRESIDENT’S STATEMENT, AT THE POINT WHEN NASA ENDS COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE MEN:
    A clergyman should adopt the same procedure as a burial at sea, commending their souls to “the deepest of the deep, ” concluding with the Lord’s Prayer.

    Friday craziness: Florida teen mom tried to hire hitman on fake website to kill 3-year-old son.

    A Florida woman was arrested on Tuesday after attempting to hire a hitman from a fake hire-an-assassin website to kill her 3-year-old son, according to police.

    Jazmin Paez, an 18-year-old mother from Miami, was charged with first-degree solicitation of murder and third-degree using a communications device for an unlawful use, according to CBS News.

    Miami-Dade County Judge Mindy Glazer set the bond at $15,000 and ordered Paez to have no contact with the child. Paez was released from jail on Thursday and did not give any comments to reporters after being released.

    Paez reportedly visited the RentAHitman.com website — which is a site that offers fake assassins.

    The website states: “Our expertly trained field operatives are dedicated to providing a complimentary consultation to help you discover the perfect solution for your unique situation.”

    Paez requested a hitman to kill her 3-year-old son, according to arrest documents. The teen mom reportedly sent photos of her son to the fake hitman and provided the exact location of where the toddler was going to be when she wanted the child murdered.

    SNP cuts down millions of trees to build wind farms on public land in huge blow to environmental credentials

    The SNP has been slated after it was revealed Ministers rubber-stamped plans to cut down almost 16 million trees to build wind farms on public land. The revelation came despite the nationalist party boasting about its green credentials, and being involved in a coalition with the Scottish Greens.

    Mairi Gougeon, the Scottish Government’s Rural Affairs Secretary, admitted that they had felled millions of trees in order to build more turbines. It forms part of the SNP administration’s plans to make Scotland net zero over the next decade.

    But this confession was labelled “astonishing” by the Scottish Tories who highlighted the “significant damage” that getting rid of woodland can do to the wildlife. It was estimated that 15.7 million trees had been felled since 2000.

    This was done on publicly-owned land which is managed by quango Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) and is the equivalent of 1,700 per day. According to the Daily Telegraph, Ms Gougeon insisted that there was a planning presumption in favour of protecting woodland, despite the amount being chopped down.

    She added that wind farm developers would be expected to undertake “compensatory planting elsewhere”. The government is aiming to add about 20,000 more turbines over the next few years so that they can generate 20GW of power, to add to the 19,000 they already have.

    But communities have been up in arms about the construction of massive turbines in their scenic areas, including Aberdeenshire, the Highlands and Dumfries. Plans have been lodged by developers for turbines up to 850 feet tall which is the size of more than 60 double decker buses.

    More Horrors, This Time From Moderna – Defending the Republic Lawsuit Obtains Almost 15,000 Pages of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine Clinical Trial Documents

    “As a result of Defending the Republic’s (DTR) successful Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) litigation against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), we are excited to announce that we are releasing nearly 15,000 pages of documents relating to testing and adverse events associated with Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine ‘Spikevax.’

    DTR filed its FOIA lawsuit after the FDA denied the expedited production of Moderna COVID-19 records, stating there was no compelling need or urgency for the public to review this information. This spring, DTR reached an agreement with the FDA for the production of approximately 24,000 pages of some of the most important records submitted by Moderna in support of its Biologics License Application (BLA). This is the first part of that production. Later this year the FDA will produce approximately 8,000 more pages of Moderna documents.

    These documents are the first significant release of data from Moderna’s COVID-19 clinical trials. They reveal the causes of deaths, serious adverse events, and instances of neurological disorders (such as Bell’s Palsy and Shingles) potentially associated with Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine.

    Importantly, these records also demonstrate the utter lack of thoroughness of these studies. Many of those who died after receiving the Moderna vaccine were not given an autopsy. According to one study, 16 individuals died after being administered the Moderna vaccine. The study’s authors indicated that out of those 16 deaths, only two autopsies were performed, five of the dead were not autopsied, and the autopsy status of nine of the dead was ‘unknown’.

    Kevin Mitnick, once the ‘most wanted computer outlaw,’ dies at 59

    Described by The New York Times in 1995 as “the nation’s most wanted computer outlaw,” Mitnick was a fugitive for more than two years.

    Kevin Mitnick, who at the dawn of widespread internet usage in the mid-1990s became the nation’s archetypal computer hacker — obsessive but clever, shy but mischievous and threatening to an uncertain degree — and who later used his skills to become “chief hacking officer” of a cybersecurity firm, died Sunday in Pittsburgh. He was 59.

    Kathy Wattman, a spokesperson for the cybersecurity company he partly owned, KnowBe4, said the cause was pancreatic cancer.

    Described by The New York Times in 1995 as “the nation’s most wanted computer outlaw,” Mitnick was a fugitive for more than two years.

    He was sought for gaining illegal access to about 20,000 credit card numbers, including some belonging to Silicon Valley moguls; causing millions of dollars in damage to corporate computer operations; and stealing software used for maintaining the privacy of wireless calls and handling billing information.

    Satellites Are Rife With Basic Security Flaws

    HUNDREDS OF MILES above Earth, thousands of satellites are orbiting the planet to keep the world running smoothly. Timing systems, GPS, and communications technologies are all powered by satellites. But for years, security researchers have warned that more needs to be done to secure the satellites against cyberattacks.

    A new analysis from a group of German academics provides a rare glimpse into some of the security weaknesses in satellites currently circling the Earth. The researchers, from the Ruhr University Bochum and the Cispa Helmholtz Center for Information Security, have examined the software used by three small satellites and found that the systems lack some basic protections.

    The satellites inspected by the researchers, according to an academic paper, contain “simple” vulnerabilities in their firmware and show “that little security research from the last decade has reached the space domain.” Among the problems are a lack of protection for who can communicate with the satellite systems and a failure to include encryption. Theoretically, the researchers say, the kinds of issues they discovered could allow an attacker to take control of a satellite and crash it into other objects.

        It is a short video I got sent via Telegram but I cannot share via the usual links. It is a lady who worked for 7 yrs in the renewable energy policy area in Canberra. Among other things she explains how the wind farm companies pay the land owners around $12k/yr and they carry any risks (the tower catches fire and burns part of a neighbour’s property) but the wind farm company gets approximately about $600k in tax payer subsidy per year.

    JUST IN: Excess deaths Australia 2020-2023
    Victoria is the biggest loser, modelling shrinks excess death rate by up to a third

    The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) released an update today, ‘Measuring Australia’s excess mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic until the first quarter 2023’.

    Excess mortality for the country as a whole is still high (9.1%) but is trending down overall. The ABS appears to have revised down its excess death statistics for 2022 and first quarter 2023, which I’ll address further down below.

    First take: Victoria, the most locked-down, curfewed, police-statey region in the world has the second-highest excess death rate in the country.
    Victoria, the second most populous state in the country (6.8 million), is faring much worse than its neighbour, NSW (8.2 million), which had less aggressive lockdowns and restrictions. Maximum police state for minimum gain makes Victoria Australia’s biggest loser.

    Victoria clocked in at 13.2% above expected deaths for 2022 and 12% for the first quarter of 2023. Tasmania had the worst excess death rate in the country, hitting a shocking 17.3% excess deaths in the first quarter of 2023.

    This video is from the subsidy farm near me,, as these blades are short so they are from the Windy Hill subsidy farm.
    I was just in town and was chatting with a local about the New subsidy farm at Kaban that has just started spinning, apparently all the blades are cracking and all the equipment (Cranes) have to be bought back, these things are massive and there is a fleet of semitrailers carting boom and counter weights. The blades installed are serrated as apparently 39 tonnes smacking into a Wedge Tailed Eagle does not kill them dead enough.
    The new Subsidy farm at Chalumbin is 1500 hectares of semi Rain Forest, being strip mined of all vegetation (Kaban 1300), to save the vegetation.

    Killing things to save the same things, seems to be the trend.

    Peru is the latest country to fall into near anarchy, joining a shopping list of others in, or threatening to fall into, civil disorder.

    I have been thinking for some time now that there doesn’t seem to be any government governing with the sole ANY purpose of improving the lot of the citizens. Instead they are RULING with little or no thought to what Joe Sixpack wants.

    Australian immigration levels are a case in point. NO ONE has asked if WE approve. In the US, no one other than hard core ideologues would approve of shutting down oil and gas drilling but no one asked there either.

        A number of EVs got caught in a flooded tunnel a while back and fared quite well. Not sure about these cheap Chinese cars though.
