Our moral guardians: Climate activists teach children to send cookie malware to skeptical grandparents

AYCC, Australian Youth Climate Coalition.

Climate Justice looks a bit like a criminal phishing campaign.

By Jo Nova

Malware to save the planet eh?

The Australian Youth Climate Coalition (AYCC) is asking supporters to send deceptive links out to friends and family that look like a cookie recipe but embed software cookies instead on the victim’s computer. The digital cookie then pushes green climate videos into their feeds, (as if the ABC news wasn’t loaded enough).

Look out for any links to oneminutecookie.com.

The AYCC gets about $3m in donations, and even visits schools, teaching children how to cheat and lie to save the planet, or something like that. What are good family relationships built on after all, if not deception? What is science if it is not propaganda?

These are all good questions to raise with the children in your life and the schools in your area.  Don’t wait for an email to arrive, thank the AYCC for providing the opportunity to start the conversation now.

If the believers are so caring, ethical and moral why are they teaching children it’s OK to deceive family members? Is this the kind of “fair and just” world we want to live in?

Call up schools and the local P&C and ask if they are aware the AYCC — which runs programs in schools  — teaches children to fool  parents and grandparents and use malware. Are these the kind of family values that belong in our schools? Will the local school guarantee that they will not allow this group to manipulate children?

The Australian exposed their crooked game this week, and traffic to oneminutecookies.com has fallen to zero. So presumably the link trap will change. (The campaign has been put on hold).

Reporter Joseph Lam spoke to cyber security experts at Check Point Research:

The company’s tech evangelist Ashwin Ram, one of Australia’s top 100 Innovators, said the technique was not common but was something he imagined cyber criminals would use as part of phishing campaigns.

Mr Ram said cookies were used to “enhance the user experience”, but in the case of AYCC campaign, “it looks like the goal here was to lure sceptics of climate change to oneminutecookie.com”. He adds: “While the site looks innocent, a victim’s browser will store cookies that will affect their browsing experience by displaying content to support a particular narrative.”

If the evidence for climate change is so overwhelming, why don’t they use that to win friends and influence people instead of phishing tricks that criminals might use?

AYCC, Australian Youth Climate Coalition.

Red fist of comrades, communist.

The best lesson children can learn today is that fascists and communists have always taught children to lie. It’s a means to an end.  Read the confessions of a Red Guard — “I have led a life haunted by guilt”.  Raised fists might not be the symbol that lifts you.

    Communist subversion. Let us demonise the very molecule of LIFE, and proceed to ignore the destruction of our morality, demography, social organisation. Ignore the effect of the thousands of actual pollutants coz the MOLECULE OF LIFE is all that matters. Pay no attention to the man behind the green curtain with the amplified voice.

      The German Communist Rudi Dutschke realised people in the West had a high and rising standard of living and therefore had no desire to become communists with all the poverty and totalitarianism that entails.

      Therefore, in 1967 he conceived of his master plan.

      der lange Marsch durch die Institutionen

      The long march through the institutions.

      It was a plan to gradually infiltrate communist activists into all Western institutions.

      Herbert Marcuse wrote of Dutschke in 1972 in Counterrevolution and Revolt:

      To extend the base of the student movement, Rudi Dutschke has proposed the strategy of the long march through the institutions: working against the established institutions while working within them, but not simply by ‘boring from within’, rather by ‘doing the job’, learning (how to program and read computers, how to teach at all levels of education, how to use the mass media, how to organize production,….

      Fast forward to today. It looks like their objective was achieved.

        Dutschke was treading ground thoroughly worked over by Antonio Gramsci, the well-known, spaghetti-bending totalitarian, so beloved of Ex pResident Odumbo. and his acolytes.

        Still a sociopath if the highest order, however.

        Leftism is like a cancer that eats its way through society slowly making everything worse. You can see how well it has worked when there are RINOs in the US that are really Demotwats and in the UK we have a Conservative party full of left of centre liberals that are no different from the majority of the Labour party. Our once great civil service has been overtaken by the disease, as have most government agencies. Most of the big corporate names are lefties as are the great charitable foundations.

      Karl Marx was an Aristotelian. The communist playbook is all about control

      In true Aristotelean fashion, when the observed phenomena and facts did not match the “grand idea,” these high priests had to “make them” fit the sacred “grand idea” – or make up new, non-existent facts! Too often, the facts were made to “disappear” from the scientific literature by “magic.” Or, they were suppressed, since it is heresy to challenge the high priest!

        An excellent piece and a view I firmly support. There are many more coming to the conclusion that we ahve been lied to too often. No longer do thinking people, including many young folk, accept that the world is ending through climate although they suspect it could end through dumb decisions by dumb politicians. Cry wolf often enough and soon no one takes any notice especially when there are far more urgent matters to address like paying the bills and puting food on the table.

      The solution, as every pc competent person knows, is to clean out your cookies, cache and history every session either via the browser’s builtin privacy option, a freeware tool like CCleaner, or a cookie blocker browser add-on.

        Fusion Power?

        The nearest practical Fusion reactor is about 92 Million miles away.

        Any suitably advances culture can achieve a fusion reaction. The trick is to not kill everybody in the process.

        A network of “modest” Thorium fission reactors makes a bit of sense, especially given the total dearth of EXPERIENCED nuclear scientists and technicians to be found locally. How are the Boomer crews coming along?

        Our Teutonic cousins built a series of small but quite functional fission reactors in pre-WW2 Germany and onwards. They were very well aware of the potential of Thorium.

        They were also very aware of the “other ” application of fission technology and test-fired several “de-rated” devices early in the war. They were quite capable of being able to deliver multiple such devices by V-weapon means by 1944. (The A-4 / V2 had a relatively tiny payload for its size and complexity. However, the warhead “compartment” was conveniently-sized to accommodate a modest Nuke and its control gear. Air-burst; exactly the way the two US bombs were applied to Japan. That Moscow and Leningrad did not become glass car-parks, MIGHT be put down to realistic German military minds who, knowing the war was lost, were thus being very mindful of the oncoming soviet vengeance and what the response to a nuclear attack on the ‘Motherland” might bring down.

      In my experience, those who embrace socialism and communism do so, not because they think it’s viable, or even the best system, but because they hate people who got rich through the labour of others. You know, by giving them employment.

      They usually don’t hate the rich per se, because they admire filthy rich celebrities, just the ones who employ others, which they tell themselves is exploitation. Of course this is just a means to avoid accepting that their failure to make tons of money in their own fault.

      Ehe truly ignorant find happiness everywhere particularly if they don’t have to find food as well. Peasants hate communism as much as they hate the aristocracy since both are similar in outcome. These kids have never worked a day in their lives. Mummy feeds them and clothes them and when they grow up the taxpayer does. The dole should be limited as should the various study grants and then these little dictators might have to find work and reason.

      Remember this. The left never use their own money. They always use yours. Withdraw that and many of our problems would cease to exist. Imagine an Utopia without the ABC, the CSIRO and many of the universities with a corresponding reduction in vacuous “professors” and their alarmist pronouncements.

      So a pamphlet is distributed in school – “coal kills”.. hmmmm…

      I hope they also told their students this inconvenient truth, stated by the Australian Gov’s – Geoscience Australia.

      “Coal is an important source of light aromatic hydrocarbons for the chemical synthesis industry.

      If coal is heated the gases and residues produced can be used in manufacturing plastics, explosives, dyes, pitch, ammonia, medicines, aspirin, soap, disinfectant, detergents, nylons, cosmetics, shampoo, toothpaste, synthetic rubber, fertilizers, cement, bricks and tiles.

      It is an important ingredient used in filters for water and air purification and in kidney dialysis machines.

      In addition coal is used to make carbon fibre, a very strong, light material used in construction, aerospace, wind turbines, sporting goods, etc.

      https://www.ga.gov.au/education/classroom-resources/minerals-energy/australian-energy-facts/coal

      Sadly, many “dumb idiots” are unaware, that many of the products they daily use and benefit from are sourced from their “evil” coal.

    Take heart. Kid’s attitudes come down to peer group.

    I know an 18 yr old raised by green parents, the woke schooling, had all the left ideas in her head. Got into trouble at 15 by hanging with leftie’s kids, doing drugs and roaming streets at 4 am etc. Dropped out of school, but importantly, parted company with those wayward kids and started hanging around people who do trades.

    She got herself a mechanics apprenticeship and is voting no, everyone she knows is voting no, and couldn’t care less about climate change. Proud of her, and she’s not even my kid.

    Children so indoctrinated and so disrespectful can be trained to do anything.

    Like good little Marxist warriors they can also be indoctrinated to become terrorists.

    You can see the initial elements of such extreme behaviour in the way climate “activists” are prepared to destroy artworks, disrupt traffic (including ambulances), glue/chain themselves to structures, destroy businesses and business activity (e.g. vandalise machinery), engage in violence, disrupt lectures when an alternative opinion is presented, threaten violence at venues where speakers they disagree with are to give talks, engage in cancel culture to “unperson” people (look what they’re do8ng to Russel Brand) etc.. Some of them such as Antifa also wear all-black uniforms, just like the Fascist thugs they model themselves after.

    Here is a relevant quote from the movie implementation of Orwell’s “1984” (5sec). https://youtu.be/SgL2XvqhX-Y The boy says to Winston “You’re a thought criminal”.

    The boy portrayed above is a member of the “Spies” program youth movement in Nineteen Eighty Four. It was modeled on the youth movement of the National Socialists.

    The only difference between the Australian Youth Climate Coalition (AYCC) and the Spies of 1984 and the National Socialist Youth is a matter of degree, at the moment.

    The Spies program of 1984 has been described as follows:

    In George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984, the reader is introduced to Winston Smith, an outsider in a society under totalitarian rule by Big Brother. Though Smith works for the Party he feels himself outside of it, relishing in small rebellions against the state. Smith, like many dystopian protagonists, begins his downfall by writing in a journal, there by committing the sin of individual thought. The Thought Police, one of the main forms of State Control in the novel, exist to prevent and punish those who are disloyal to the party. Even the children have been implemented as tools of the state, as they are loyal only to the state, even going so far as to send their own parents to prison. This idea is a reflection on the (National Socialist) youth program implemented by the (National Socialists) leading up to and during (National Socialist) control in Europe.

    In the novel, Smith encounters his neighbor’s children while helping to fix a sink. The boy and girl come into the room and hold toy guns at Winston, calling him a “traitor” and a “thought criminal”. Though they are only children Winston is somewhat fearful of them as they do have the power to report him to the thought police, which they eventually do to their own father. These children are part of the “Spies” program, a youth program instituted in order to garner early loyalty to the totalitarian state. The children, “…adored the Party and everything connected with it. The songs, the processions, the banners, the hiking, the drilling with dummy rifles, the yelling of slogans, the worship of Big Brother-it was all a glorious game to them” (24). All the elements of these children’s lives is a near exact reflection of the lives of the children of the (National Socialist) youth. Ref: Little Rascals: Representations of the (National Socialist) Youth in George Orwell’s 1984, Posted on December 15, 2015 by Sebastian Coppotelli

    Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty Four was meant to be a warning, not an instruction manuslbfor the Left.

    The activities of the Australian Youth Climate Coalition (AYCC) and especially the direction in which they are heading is terrifying.

      “Children so indoctrinated and so disrespectful can be trained to do anything”.

      An excellent object lesson is Pol Pot’s Cambodia.

      The MOST ruthless killers were,literally, children. usually between the ages of nine and fourteen.

      They had (Year) zero “brakes” and were driven by ultra-Maoist doctrine that demanded the enslavement or killing of “the other”, i.e., anyone NOT a rabif, slogan chanting psycho.

      Speak a foreign language? Bourgeois types; slash their throats.

      Wear glasses? Academics; crush their skull with a rock.

      Not entirely surprisingly, the ring-leaders of this rock-show were almost exclusively “educated” in Western universities, mostly in France. “Quelle Surprise” and all that

        Brainwashing children before the age of reason (about 6 or 7) is commonplace and typically employed by religions and terrorists to produce the next generation of blindly obedient followers.

        “Being raised in a high-control group can cause physical, medical, and psychological harm. Children do not choose this for themselves; the choice is made for them by a parent or caretaker. Yet, it seriously impacts them.

        Over 300 children died during the mass murder-suicide at Jonestown. In addition, young children in some extremist political and religious cults are brainwashed to become soldiers and kill enemies, as well as, conduct suicide bombings.”

        https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/freedom-mind/202105/protect-children-harm-destructive-cults

        “Generation ISIS: When Children Are Taught to Be Terrorists
        Families grapple with the effect the ISIS school system has had on their children and the reality of what could be a generation of radicals.”

        https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/isis-uncovered/generation-isis-when-children-are-taught-be-terrorists-n812201

        “The same dynamic that occurs in domestic violence also applies to cults. First a person is lured to group or person who seemingly shares their interests and concerns. They may then be subject to a kind of love-bombing, given extreme amounts of attention, which can feel flattering and seem the sign of having found a safe place. Then begins an attempt to isolate the person from friends and family. The potential recruit becomes engulfed in a new system and out of touch with their old, known network.”

        https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-author-speaks/201702/terror-love-and-brainwashing

        Therein lies the basis for so many cults like trans, climate alarmists etc.
        Lonely isolated people looking to be wanted. To fit in. To feel normal. It doesn’t matter what the cults ideals are.
        And we see that with the sheer ignorance of the cultists.
        Or worse, innocent kids forced into it by rabid irrational parents or teachers.

      In many schools laptops, tablets, smart devices are more or less mandatory. There’s the problem. What happened to books ? I managed to get through university without any ‘smart’ personal devices. We had a Computer lab for software courses and calculators were only permitted in Statistics courses.
      With all the technology, I see no evidence that kids today are any smarter than in my day, maybe the opposite !

    The vision of a stable climate says it all. A stable climate is an average climate. The only place there is a stable climate is in the minds of the climate activists and in the models that are used to “prove” climate change.

    So what is a stable climate. Look at Townsville for example. Townsville has average monthly rainfall of about 94mm. However for the months around December to March, Townsville’s average monthly rainfall is about 220mm and the monthly average for April to November is about 29mm. So what is the rainfall in a stable climate that the climate activists seek?

    And there is no mention of the unintended consequences of the mythical stable climate. Occasionally the heavy rain in and west of Townsville causes floods and some of the flood waters find there way to Lake Eyre in South Australia. A few years ago, May 2019 I think, the ABC ran a program about the flood waters from Towsnville and places further west, reaching Lake Eyre. It doesn’t happen every year. So, in a stable climate in Townsville, with average rainfall there may be no flood waters going to Lake Eyre.

        Finding a balance between the daytime non-cloudy solar electricity generation and the cloudy dark suppertime power requirements will take “some adjustments”. As well as between the 14 hours of sunlight in summer and the ten hours of it in winter.
        Meanwhile the instability will increase the overall cost of electricity and the competitiveness of our economy in the world markets for things other than “raw materials”.

    “Daytime power prices are plunging into negative territory – meaning generators have to pay to produce – as renewable energy increasingly cannibalises the market, according to experts.

    ….Observers say rooftop solar is “cannibalising” electricity prices and hitting large-scale solar hard
    ….energy software company Gridcog said “price cannibalisation” was becoming an increasingly common phenomenon.”

    I wonder do they know what they are saying?

      This is expected. All those people with solar on their roofs are going to find pretty soon that they will have to pay a tax to home generate. Probably dressed up as a climate levy to support the big boys.
      Nothing is free, if it’s cheap it will be taxed. You are just a floater in the states revenue stream.

    The number one priority of these extremists is to WASTE 1.4 TRILLION $ on W & S by 2030 and then another 8 TRILLION by 2060 and all for a GUARANTEED ZERO CHANGE for our climate.
    But we also have to replace the major parts of these W & S lunacies every 20 years and bury the TOXIC leftovers in LANDFILL AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN every 20 years.
    But the FULL cost of Nuclear would be about 1 TRILLION $ and would last until 2090 if we started in 2030.
    And we wouldn’t wreck our environment and only REQUIRE the very tiny FOOTPRINT of our EXISTING power stations.
    Why can’t these stupid fools understand very simple data and evidence?

    We’ve had solid proof for decades that TOXIC W & S are a FRAUD and a CON.
    The OECD countries have WASTED TRILLIONS of $ on TOXIC W & S and YET the SHARE of W & S is just 2.13 % of PRIMARY ENERGY by SOURCE in 2022.
    These are very simple sums and takes just a few minutes of our time.
    So why don’t they teach them this at school and show them the proper data?

    Let’s ignore for a moment whether there is genuine global warming as deduced from non-fraudulent data, not, for example, data that has been altered by the mysterious and non-reproducible process of “homogenisation” as used by Australia’s Bureau of Meterology. Jo has documented the deficiencies of that process on this website in numerous articles. https://joannenova.com.au/tag/homogenization-temperature-data/

    Furthermore, let’s ignore whether that warming (if any) is of anthropogenic origin, given that only 4% of the 0.04% of CO2 in the atmosphere is of anthropogenic origin (that is 0.0016% of all atmospheric gases) and rapidly absorbed.

    What warmists fail to understand, and is a deliberate result of the dumbing-down of the education system, is that the climate is not static or stable, neither are any earth systems.

    Warmists are staticists, for lack of a better word.

    Civilisations have thrived during the naturally warm periods of the Minoan, Egyptian, Roman and Medieval eras.

    Plus, we are coming to the very end of a rare interglacial. As the world cools, it will be impossible for civilisation to survive without coal, gas and nuclear power stations (and real hydro, not SH2, where possible).

    The idea that the earth and universe is static is a very primitive one and articulated by Aristotle in “In the Heavens” 350BCE.

    http://classics.mit.edu/Aristotle/heavens.1.i.html

    For in the whole range of time past, so far as our inherited records reach, no change appears to have taken place either in the whole scheme of the outermost heaven or in any of its proper parts.

    It is only in the last 100 years or so that the ideas of Alfred Wegener (1880-1930), a real climatologist, geologist, geophysicist, meteorologist and polar researcher came to be accepted that the earth is not static. Among other ideas he conceived of continental drift which led to plate tectonics.

    However, as early as 1840 Louis Agassiz (1807-1873) hypothesised that much of North America was once buried under glacial ice up to 3km deep and that climate must change.

    Milutin Milanković (1879-1958) also discovered natural cycles in the climate.

    Warmists have a lot of catching up with modern thinking to do.

      Most teachers have no particular interest in the subject and they accept the status quo in fear of retribution.

      These young activists won’t be swayed, even with evidence to show Urban Heat Islands are causing global warming.

      ‘Therefore, part of the warming of the last 150 years in Europe, the USA and, above all, China is due to changes in the environment and not solely to rising CO2 concentrations.

      ‘The study concludes that the effect is 0.34 degrees Celsius per century. This does not absolve CO2, but the degree of warming on land would be almost 40 % lower without the heat island effect.’ (Notrickszone)

      It’s about political power … not electrical power.

      Climate Change is something that rich people in rich countries put on a big show of caring about. Third world countries couldn’t give a toss but sometimes nod along just long enough to get someone else’s money dropped in their palm.

      Teachers are interested in indoctrination, because that builds the power base in first world countries. I personally believe that these “Youth Clubs” and such things are primarily recruitment tools … finding individuals of flexible morality who are easily led into doing borderline illegal activities. Out of those you then select the most enthusiastic and least inhibited to be the next phase of cruminal stooges on a more serious project.

          Most of our renewables madness occurred under the Liberals, starting when Howard first allowed non-dispatchable generators to connect to the grid plus he gave away most of our gas supply to the Chinese at world’s cheapest prices on a 30 yr contract with no provision for inflation or market price.

    17-year-old Nuclear for Australia founder Will Shackel “ran rings” around Energy Minister Chris Bowen during Tuesday’s QandA panel, says Sky News host Paul Murray. Mr Shackel’s push for lifting bans on nuclear power received applause from more than half of the ABC show’s audience. “Now, Will appearing on the show … of course resulted in him getting an awful lot of hate on social media,” Mr Murray said. “Why are we listening to this kid? Why is this kid even invited to have an opinion on this? “They do remember their views on Greta Thunberg, right? That when Greta had something to say the world had to listen. But when this kid says something they don’t want to hear – he must not speak at all.”

    Our “moral superiors” Will, no doubt, be able to expand on this definition of a primary global warming feature.
    It was located in a pdf under the title; global warming terms.

    “Radiative forcing

    A change in the balance between incoming solar radiation and outgoing infrared radiation. Without any
    radiative forcing, solar radiation coming to the Earth would continue to be approximately equal to the
    infrared radiation emitted from the Earth. The addition of greenhouse gases traps and increased fraction
    of the infrared radiation, reradiating it back toward the surface and creating a warming influence (i.e.,
    positive radiative forcing because incoming solar radiation will exceed outgoing infrared radiation).”.

    This seems to be the core process behind the “out of control”, human origin CO2 induced Wobal Glorming.

    I believe that a great many Original Scientists standing on ancient University Campuses would find fault with the basic atmospheric physics and thermodynamics of this UNIPCCC definition.

Because of this, they will immediately begin receiving factually accurate news stories about climate change.

      alarming statistic that 42% of Australians express scepticism towards climate change

      It is indeed alarming that only 42% of people disbelieve the propaganda.

      But if it were really true, the world would be forcing China to stop being the world’s biggest CO2 emitter (CO2, the substance you call “carbon” (sic)). They produce more than twice as much CO2 as the next biggest emitter and it’s increasing exponentially while CO2 emissions from the US and the West have been decreasing for many years.

      You keep telling us that wind and solar is the best, most reliable and cheapest form of electricity production so why aren’t they doing that rather than building two coal power stations per week?

      PF, you and your lot still haven’t answered the simple questions: Why have Zero of your predictions come true in 100 years, and precisely how will the AU contribution towards reducing CO2 from 420 to 350 ppm matter at all when it is 0.0132 x 0.007 x 0.04 = 37 parts per Billion of the atmosphere.

      Evidently, Logic, Economics, and Science aren’t valued much in the Church of Globull Warming. Feel free to give as much of your own money to politicians who believe that 0.000000037 of the atmosphere, controls the entire world climate. That is beyond daft.

      So, if wind and solar are the cheapest generation, then why did Wind get 40+ times the subsidies of Nuclear and Solar got 200+ times the subsidy of Nuclear, per unit of power actually generated? It’s all a graft and power grab. The shame is 58% of AU are so ignorant of fact, science, and economics.

    Mark Mills has a new study that completely shows why EVs are just more BS and FRAUD.

    Here’s a quote that states that new ICE cars will soon be available that save a lot more co2 emissions than EVs.

    “Electric Vehicles for Everyone? The Impossible Dream”
    “If the policy goal is to reduce automotive petroleum use, there are far easier and more certain
    ways to achieve that. Combustion engines have already been built and are commercially viable
    that can cut fuel use by 50%. In fact, an earlier IEA analysis finds that gains in automobile
    fuel efficiency will displace at least 300% more petroleum than adding 300 million EVs to the
    world’s roads by 2040.
    It would be easier, cheaper, faster—and transparently verifiable—to incentivize consumers to
    purchase more efficient internal combustion engines or hybrids. Subsidies redirected away from
    wealthy EV owners would buy far greater, and documentable, emissions reductions per dollar if
    offered to, for example, lower-income gasoline “superusers”—the 10% of drivers consuming one third of all gasoline—with a credit tied to trailing odometer mileage. Such a policy would,
    additionally, be progressive, rather than regressive, in tax terms.
    The future will see tens of millions more EVs on the roads, even without government programs
    that favor or mandate them. But the entire edifice of subsidies, prohibitions, and regulations to
    move most, if not all, citizens from ICE cars into EVs is based on a profoundly weak—or, in some
    cases, false—foundation of claims about emissions reductions and economic parity.
    Meanwhile, if implemented, ICE bans will lead to a massive misallocation of capital in the world’s
    $4 trillion personal mobility industry.193 It will also lead to draconian constraints on freedoms
    and unprecedented impediments to affordable and convenient driving. And it will have little to
    no impact on global CO2
    emissions. In fact, the bans and EV mandates are more likely to cause
    a net increase in emissions”.
