seems like the days of woke police are numbered
https://dailysceptic.org/2023/08/29/met-chief-calls-time-on-woke-policing/

It’s groundhog day.
10
That’s very good news.
Once Great Britain’s police have degenerated from arguably the best in the world to the worst and wokest.
Hopefully this measure will restore confidence in them and they’ll stop sending teams of seven police to arrest autistic 16 year old girls for supposed breaches of wokeness.
And looking at the female officer who complained, I think the girl was correct in her assessment, not that the girl said anything wrong or derogatory or even not woke.
71
Perhaps life does imitate art. I recall my parents used to enjoy watching The Bill. But then it went down a path of “woke” and they switched off. (I guess a lot of people did given it’s long run came to an end) The UK police seem to be somewhat following their TV image. Problem with reality is you can’t just switch it off.
30
Big white pill. But why should it be? It’s just completely logical to have politically impartial Police.

Interesting to contrast the way those very same police deal with the Just Stop Oil mob. The difference is of course that governments around the western world are secretly supporting JSO because they too have an anti-fossil fuel agenda.
It’s been said before; most western police forces are now effectively the enforcers of our (mostly) socialist governments.
140
Relevant here is the contrast between how authorities are quick to shut down talks by the likes of Ben Shapiro, because they IMAGINE that folks might get violent, versus the continuing support for London’s Notting Hill Carnival, which always involves stabbings, fights, destruction and widespread thefts. Again though, one is an event with a conservative audience while the other is one, which usually involves ACTUAL violence but celebrates one of the left’s chosen ‘minorities’ is therefore untouchable.

Here we see a good example of people not appreciating the consequences of supporting green energy
https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1807116/pylons-national-grid-essex-ardleigh
By definition most wind and solar farms are either off shore or in less densely populated countryside. As a result the power needs to get where it is is needed which means it will need to be put on pylons going through peoples backyards.
When heat pumps are routinely installed in future, neighbours will be driven mad with their noise and dismay their installer with the costs and poor performance and perhaps they will realise they have been hoodwinked.
90
” heat pumps are routinely installed”
HPs are not intrinsically bad but the requirements are not met in many places. I have a “stick-built” house designed with ducts for AC and heating. Insulation is good and electricity costs low. The only alternative would be a large propane tank in the yard. {See: https://www.midwaygas.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/propane-tank.jpg }
Piped gas is not an option.
I have a modern wood stove with a catalytic burner, my own on-site wood supply (trees), and a chainsaw. Cold winters require an emergency source of heat. The AC/heater has resistance heaters so low temperatures require their use and more cost. The house also has a separate (not part of the HP) electrical-resistance water heater.
Places that don’t come close to matching the above situation shouldn’t install heat pumps.

‘Out of Africa I’ challenged
https://phys.org/news/2023-08-ancient-ape-trkiye-story-human.html
60
It’s very possible because current “out of Africa” theories don’t seem to account for the sudden appearance of Cro Magnon or as they are now known by their politically correct name, European Anatomically Modern Humans.
And modern humans appear to be a hybrid species with various populations/races have varying degrees of admixture (or not) of Neanderthal and Denisovan and there is possible evidence for another “ghost species” in some African populations.
Human species, all extinct except one, are:
Homo sapiens
Homo habilis
Homo rudolfensis
Homo erectus
Homo antecessor
Homo heidelbergensis
Homo floresiensis
Homo neanderthalensis
Homo naledi
Homo denisova or Homo altaiensis (to be confirmed)
30
That is literally not what out of Africa means. OOA is the evolution and spread of modern humans in the much more recent past. OOA theory is unaffected by where the common ancestor to Pan, Gorilla and Homo evolved.
11
They have found a third lineage in China, only goes back 300,000 years, but its impressive because its neither Denisovan or Erectus and has homo sapien traits.

US CDC admits vaxxed are more susceptible to getting latest covid variant, BA.2.86.
I reported this the other day. It was discussed by Dr Philip McMillan:
https://www.youtube.com/live/P8c2ynqrOd4
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-40592-4
Now, Dr John Campbell talks about how the covid vaxxed are MORE SUSCEPTIBLE to getting BA.2.86 as admitted to by the CDC.
Fancy that, a “vaccine” that makes you more susceptible to the disease it’s supposedly meant to protect you against. The CDC also says that if you have previously had covid, it also makes you more susceptible but Dr John doesn’t accept that, and it doesn’t seem plausible in any case.
NOTE: Even the CDC admits to this.

I’m not in Australia, but I read a lot of noise about ticks versus crosses on the referendum form, but ultimately the AEC says it must be “yes” or “no” as text.
Anything to distract people from thinking about how incredibly racist a “yes” vote really is, I guess…
110
A “tick” will be accepted and count as “yes” but a “cross” will not be accepted as no.
And it will be up to individual polling booth managers to decide what the “voter intention” was.
What could possibly go wrong?
140
a tick in the “no” box will count as a “yes”?
43
Looking at the official AEC website, that particular point is ambiguous.
It comes down to whatever the polling booth manager thinks the voter’s intention was under the so-called “savings provisions”.
https://www.aec.gov.au/referendums/aec/faqs.html
21
Oddly there is only one box for the voter’s response. Why there are not two boxes (one for yes and another for no) is beyond my pay-grade. A mark of any type in either box would then indicate the voter’s intention.
60
Two boxes are a disaster as people write in both.
33
And lefties just circle the desired box. 😆
30
That too. That is actually a thing that people do.
10
There is no “Yes” or “No” box.
You have to actually write Yes or No in the single box provided.
do not tick or cross at all – write the word of your choice in full.
91
then a tick or a cross is an informal vote and should not be counted.
81
That’s the obvious and reasonable way to assess it. But that’s too sensible for an election authority. The AEC has suggested a tick is likely a yes but a cross is too obscure to determine so it’s an “informal” vote.
I always vote informal. No point getting dressed up for a Saturday morning trip to the local school hall.
30
For over a decade I have been advocating that the only sensible vote in Australia is informal; this has the added benefit that the three dollar contribution to the nominated party does not get allocated from the public purse.
When the day comes that the major parties’ policies are distinguishable one from another my advice will likely change.
00
a tick could just mean they they turned up.
00
If it is a distraction then the No campaign, who is complaining about this, is doing the distracting.
19
The entire “voice” matter is a distraction – the double standard concerning ticks and crosses merely shows us how corrupt our institutions have become.
100
For the illiterate or lazy, a tick or cross will suffice.
“Let’s be very clear,” Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said. “Voting No leads nowhere. It means nothing changes. Voting No closes the door on this opportunity to move forward.” (SMH)
10
And voting “yes” leads to apartheid, rule by minority, and unchangeable discrimination.
Just make sure you spell “No” correctly in that single box.
82
Shows my click as a duplicate vote..
seems the web site took a LONG time to decide
00
The left may just have painted themselves into a corner concerning their ‘Voice.’ Imagine a scenario where the ‘Yes’ vote succeeds and the worst outcome is achieved – Aboriginal treaty, ownership of all lands, waters, etc., reparations. Then the only course of action open to white and other hued Australians is to IDENTIFY as aboriginals. The left have already decreed that no proof is required, so all you need to do to retain your property is pick a tribe and Bob’s your uncle, or elder, or something Anyway, your property and rights are safe.

Here is an outstanding 15 min video explaining schizophrenia based upon the theory of “aberrant salience”.
Excellent. And I found it fully describes a person I know with schizophrenia.

Also, not mentioned in that video, but apparently there is no known case of a person born with cortical blindness who has schizophrenia.

Thankyou David for that link. Very interesting insights from the video and the comments below. We have personal experience of a relative with schizophrenia and it is an absolute nightmare, for the sufferer and for the relatives and carers.
I’ll forward that link to some of those involved.
Schizophrenia is far from a laughing matter and so many, actually most, people have no idea as to what it is really like.

Apart from politicians, I think “journalists” belong to the most morally and financially corrupt of professions.
Back in the day, even Leftist journalists at least attempted to be honest.

“Always marvel at how the dimwitted and dishonest rise up the greasy poles of power so smoothly.”
Same reason the German Police use Alsatians and not Dobermans. They started with schooling Dobermans but found they were intelligent enough to disobey an order that might get them shot, then they found Alsatians were stupid enough to do anything they’re told.

It’s somewhat different constructing a pyramid to lifting one block of stone on its end though.

There is a railway station in Japan called Seiryu Miharashi Station (清流みはらし駅, Seiryū Miharashi-eki).
It connects to no roads or footpaths and there is no way in or out.
Its sole purpose is to stop and look at the scenery.
70
I love Japan. I find it hard work to get around and, in Tokyo at least, I usually start to feel like an ant after three or four nights and desperate to get out into the country. I love the Japanese culture, too. It’s so lovely to see so much courtesy, especially among the young, including toward visitors. I remember when the UK used to be like that.
50
It’s not one-way traffic though is it? Bushido as manifested in the 1930’s (Nanking) and during WWII was hardly an exemplar of consideration for others.
10
That’s OK because it isn’t 1930 any more and modern Japanese had nothing to do with Japan’s decision to enter the war.
10
I had a Japanese boss for nearly 7 years. I’d dispute that Bushido or Samurai spirit is gone.

FWIW
“How it started:
“Instead of trying to blame people, let’s encourage people to protect themselves,” Scalise, who received his second dose of the Pfizer vaccine Tuesday morning, told ABC News Correspondent Kyra Phillips on ABC News Live. “In terms of hospitalizations, that’s where you see people that aren’t vaccinated showing up the most and so you want to encourage people to get it.”
Except that was a lie; we now know that any protection you got faded off quickly and thus it was basically worthless. Which was exactly what we should have expected from a couple of decades of trying to vaccinate against coronaviruses: It has never worked in either man or beast and there was utterly no evidence that it would this time either, nor that we could interrupt transmission (that is, protect others.) In fact Dr. Birx admitted she knew (as did anyone else who read the original protocols for the trials and studies) that she had no evidence that would be the case and neither did anyone else.”
More at
https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=249579

It was worse than worthless because the long lasting legacy you were left with was a damaged immune system making you more susceptible to covid than unvaxxed and possibly other unknown effects.
SEE my post #6 above.
100
I saw my cardiologist a few days ago, just for a routine consult. Apparently my buggered old ticker is still limping along.
For the second time, he suggested I try a new mRNA-based treatment for lowering cholesterol which is/will require just an annual jab rather than daily tablets. For the second time I explained to him that I do not trust any mRNA-based treatment and have no intention of risking it at this stage. He didn’t push too hard, but later in the conversation he admitted that he wouldn’t risk it either, yet!
So how many doctors push medications that they themselves wouldn’t take? What happened to medical ethics?
To be honest, he might have thought his confession would mark him as an honest broker but it has convinced me to – finally – seek another cardiologist. Had I simply accepted his initial advice – to take the mRNA concoction – would he have gone on to tell me he thinks it’s risky?
The problem now of course is finding a new, honest and ethical cardiologist. Untill they do something like that you really don’t know who you’re dealing with. Maybe, at the very first consult, I should start by asking his/her opinion on the new mRNA cholesterol medication?
160
And this is not medical advice but you might want to look into whether having “high bad cholesterol” i.e. high LDL is genuinely bad for you or not.
Or is it junk science?
Do you supplement with K2? You might want to look at that too.
70
Yes, I take vit. K2 along with my D3. As for LDL, I’m sceptical but nevertheless aware that elevated LDL correlates very strongly with coronary artery disease, which I have and which led to me having a heart attack. My brother has had elevated LDL for decades and he too had a heart attack a few years ago. My sister meanwhile, who is obese and drinks like a sailor with a shore pass, has no cholesterol problem or heart disease.
The only thing I’m sure about is that I can’t be sure of anything …
40
Alcohol apparently limits the bloods capacity to carry cholesterol. Maybe that’s what has helped your sister?
I don’t drink and have nine stents. Five in my late 40’s and four more a few years later. (even with daily cholesterol lowering tabs)
Probably all the sugars I’ve consumed drinking tea with two, cordial, and soft drink instead of alcohol. 🙂
My cardiologist said there was an increase in young people seeing him after covid vaccination. He said they haven’t been back for a follow-up so they either got over their initial symptoms/reactions or died.
50
Anyone want a post on the topic?
Short answer – forget what your doctor and the msm told you.
I can blow it all out of the water like the Nordstream pipeline. 😁
40
I went to my quack for a medical for work, as soon as I sat down, before even a hello, she stated “you will be wanting a flu vaxx”.
The only test results I have had done were three years ago, which showed nothing out of ordinary, I left with a script for Statins, went straight into the bin.
30
I haven’t the vaguest idea what my cholesterol levels are. That suits me fine, I have no curiosity.
20
“at the very first consult, I should start by asking his/her opinion on the new mRNA cholesterol medication”
That should be the first thing to be asked of a new doc, they would be on an earner from the pharma just like their push on the earlier statins.

BUT…. Even at that cost, it is still a much cheaper alternative for storage than batteries.
SN2 is stated to have a capacity of 240 GWh,..
…….so costing $50,000 per MWh
At current prices Utility scale battery systems are costing Au $634,000 per MWh ..
….12+ times as much as Snowy 2 !
So the equivalent cost for 240 GWH of battery storage would be..Au$160+ billion !
If Bowen & co are committed to intermittents + storage,…then they know they have to keep going with SN 2 !

DEAD WRONG: BIG W ‘DEDDY BEARS’ ANOTHER ATTACK ON OUR KIDS’ INNOCENCE
Yet another concerning product has made its way onto the shelves of Big W. The items brought to our attention this time are ‘Deddy Bears’ – plush toy bears that are presented in body bags accompanied by autopsy reports.
These ‘toys’ are far from appropriate for children and represent yet another disheartening assault on the innocence of our young ones. At a time when protecting the pure and unblemished nature of childhood should be paramount, it’s disconcerting to witness such products being made available.
We ask you to stand with us in sending a strong message to BigW and the ACCC to request the removal of these morbid items from the shelves. Our children deserve a childhood untainted by such inappropriate influences, and together our voice can make a difference.
Even Teddy Bears are dying suddenly, now we definitely need a royal commission.

If you have 12m 45s to waste, watch this UK Talk TV debate between host Rosanna Lockwood, Reform UK’s Richard Tice, the Grantham Institute on Climate Change’s Bob Ward, and Professor Judith Curry. All we learn from it is that so-called debates are just a complete and utter waste of time, because they always descend into:
‘Yes it is’
‘No it isn’t’
‘Yes it is’
‘No it isn’t’
‘You’re a liar’
‘No you’re a liar’
‘No you’re a liar’
‘No you’re a liar’
The only way to catch a person out is to sit them down, one-on-one, and ask them to state their position on an issue, which you then proceed to refute with pre-prepared facts. In other words, don’t ask a question unless you know what their answer will be and you have prepared a fact-based rebuttal to it. But, of course, no half-smart person will allow themselves to be put in a position where they will be challenged like that, will they.
The handful of conservative politicians in this country who are principled and courageous enough to question officials on government policy should heed this. Too often we see them begin their question with an assertion, which the respondent immediately refutes with ‘alternative facts’, leaving the politician in a position where they have to try to defend their assertion, which takes us back to ‘yes it is, no it isn’t’ and so on, and often casts the politician in a not-too-complimentary light.
40
You only have to watch the odd parliamentary enquiry to see that those who have important questions to answer, whether it be around Covid, the vaccines or the Biden Crime Family’s activities, are adept at simply and unashamedly ignoring well-prepared and researched questions. They will simply dodge the question and waffle on about something else. If that doesn’t work, they will ‘take the question on notice’ and then, as we saw with the Pfizer Australia execs recently, ‘forget’ to provide answers afterwards.

Mozart Can Act as a Painkiller For Newborns, First-of-Its-Kind Trial Suggests
Babies that are about to get poked by doctors may benefit from the lullabies of Mozart.
A recent randomized, blinded control trial has found that calming background music during minor medical procedures can somewhat alleviate signs of pain in newborns.
The authors conclude “music intervention is an easy, reproducible, and inexpensive tool for pain relief from minor procedures in healthy, term newborns.”
Today, there is considerable evidence to suggest music can significantly reduce pain perception among adults, and yet it’s not clear how song achieves this incredible feat or whether it’s innate or learned.

Maui leaves many wondering just what technology government has – analysis
The Space Preservation Act of 2001 (H.R.2977), which detailed which weapons were not included in its ban on space-based weapons, sparked debate about the extent to which the government was developing non-conventional weapons.
Just not from space
As a public law passed by congressmen debriefed on weapons research, the government not only acknowledged various “exotic” weapons, but declared them to be legal so long as they were launched from land, sea or planes. The Act specifically limited the weapons ban to weapons systems based “60 kilometers above the surface of the earth” and, to remove any doubt, expressly stated that other weapons may be developed and produced.
The Act went on to specify examples of weapons systems which would be allowed to be deployed from land, sea or planes, including Directed Energy (laser) Weapons (DEWs) and “exotic weapons systems” including chemtrails and electronic harassment (psychotronic attacks).
Man-made earthquakes?
The Act clarified that “exotic weapons” includes tectonic systems designed to destroy a “target population or region.”
The term exotic weapons systems includes weapons designed to damage space or natural ecosystems . . . or climate, weather, and tectonic systems with the purpose of inducing damage or destruction upon a target population or region

It’s more American than talking loudly at tourist attractions. It’s more American than a Bible covered in ranch dressing fingerprints. It’s more American than a Marvel movie about superheroes drinking Mountain Dew in monster trucks. It’s more American than a deep-fried aircraft carrier.”
Except its a fake, its actually the cry of the Red-Tailed Hawk, which Hollywood has been dubbing over Bald Eagles for decades.
“Hollywood overdubs the bald eagle with the red-tailed hawk in precisely the same way it paints over the United States with a fictional land in which capitalism is working perfectly, and the cities aren’t full of homeless people, and the citizens aren’t stressed out of their minds working multiple jobs and freaking out on TikTok all the time asking how anyone is getting by in this environment”

Authorities in denial over vaccine link to soaring pilot deaths
PILOT deaths are in the news again as three more have ‘died suddenly’ this month.
Meanwhile there are reports of 15 other incidents involving pilot collapses and deaths. One caused a crash that killed everyone on board, including a two-year-old girl.
In March alone we reported on five pilots who either collapsed or died. Canadian physician Dr William Makis, author of more than 100 peer-reviewed medical publications, has also been tracking pilot deaths with numerous articles on his Substack page like this one from June 2023 that detailed four Singapore Airlines pilots who died suddenly, or with cancer.
Many think Covid vaccines, rolled out at the end of 2020, are to blame. Between 2021 and 2022, the UK Civil Aviation Authority’s (CAA) ‘unfit to fly’ numbers showed a 75 per cent increase, while the RAF said that 27 per cent of their pilots were medically downgraded. All pilots need to demonstrate a less than one per cent chance of developing serious illness to pass their annual medical, which makes these numbers unusual.
Former Virgin Australia captain Glen Waters from the pilot support group Aussie Freedom Flyers revealed disturbing information: ‘Heart attacks and strokes in our industry are extremely rare.
One specialised GP with aeromedical qualifications known as a Designated Medical Examiner (DAME) said he had seen a significant increase in the heart condition myocarditis (that can be fatal), and pericarditis. I thought it was one in a hundred but the DAME said no, it’s more like one in ten. He did say that a lot of the symptoms he’d seen were treatable and transient.
‘Privately, I’ve spoken to pilots who know they’re vaccine injured. One pilot hardly made it home from his second shot. It took him three and a half hours to drive an 80-minute journey. He had to keep pulling over because he was fainting and sweating. He thought he was going to die. He ended up with pericarditis and leukaemia.

Wednesday madness from the mask sheep

The fear and ignorance of the mask wearers, like the medieval witch burners (which is not remotely funny 😎).

Was listening to the local State Sponsored Propaganda station, and what I heard the wheels are really coming off the Ruinables Scam, led by the Snowy 2 scam, barely started but costs blown out to $12B, then the dispatchable 24/7 coalies being replaced by ‘big batteries’, some dimwits are just beginning to realise that batteries don’t generate power.

Possibly why the gumminint is now going to stop coal fired power generation from closing by paying big subsidies to them , someone has made them realise the facts .

That’s the weirdest thing: They subsidise ruinables to put coal out of business and then subsidise the coalies to fill in the gaps of S&W.

People laughed when Ronald Reagan first said that, but the more you look at how these things work … turns out he was exactly right.

“Shock News–Pavements Get Hot In Summer!”
“Of course, if Guardian journalists understood why roads and pavements get hot in summer, they would also appreciate why urban areas get much hotter than rural ones, and that the temperatures they regularly trumpet for cities like Phoenix are not representative.”

There are rumours that the Gleissberg Cycle will be upon us in 2024-25.
I have my doubts.

West Australian mining billionaire Andrew Forrest was pushing a new climate scare today. Says we’re all going to die of high humidity. He’s pushing the climate scare because he wants to power the world with hydrogen. What do you get when you burn hydrogen? Water vapour. The question is, if a big city was full of hydrogen vehicles, how would that affect humidity? Would there be a local humidity island effect, so to speak? Maybe someone with better physics than me can do some calculations.
Of course we’re not going to be doomed by high humidity. But where does this guy get his scientific advice from?
He’s also wearing a cravat lately.

Climate activist smears paint over Tom Thomson piece at National Gallery of Canada
https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/climate-protester-splashes-paint-on-tom-thomson-piece-at-national-gallery-of-canada-1.6539387
A climate protester splashed paint on a Tom Thomson piece hanging in the National Gallery of Canada Tuesday as part of escalating activities demanding a national firefighting service.
A member of the group On2Ottawa, which periodically blocked traffic in Ottawa this month, splashed paint on Thomson’s 1914-15 painting “Northern River”. A video shared by the group on Instagram shows a member smearing pink paint on the glass that protects the oil on canvas painting and then gluing himself to the floor…
