For those of us in the USA here is the next example of extreme government overreach starting 2024:

Let me guess first. Those whom take bribes from foreign entities and green ponzi schemes, I mean who sell influence, are exempt, but those involved in honest enterprizes such as real estate development and building things are not.

The following FACTS needs to be repeated over and over until the climate crisis liars stop pushing them.
FACT: NO “hot spot” exists even after 30 years of waiting for it to show up.
FACT: NO Positive Feedback Loop exist even after 30 years of waiting for it even though it has NEVER happened in the last Billion years.
When are the warmist/Alarmists going to stop pushing these massive lies filled AGW prediction failures?

The prediction of the return of the Messiah “ is nigh…….
The Australian Prime Minister will travel to Australia in the first half of next year, it has been confirmed. It will be the first visit by the globe trotting Australian leader since late 2022.
A spokesperson for Mr. Albanese said the PM always enjoyed travelling to Australia. “Mr Albanese has a real affinity with Australia – he grew up there (in a housing commission flat with his single-parent mother), he spent some time working there, he knows a lot people there. It really is his home away from home,” the spokesperson said.
Government officials in Australia said the trip would be a chance to hold high level talks with the Australian Prime Minister on issues of national importance. “We’re hoping to grab some time with him to discuss housing policy, cost of living, climate change, immigration, workplace relations. We’re aware that his international commitments will make his time here very tight, but it’ll be great to get his input on these issues and hopefully work towards some solutions”.

Just wondering when Australian politicians of the left & the right will fully wake up to the history of Europe & their migration policies. The left have a particular love of 3rd world migrants. Time to wake up, before it’s too late as Europe is now discovering!
It’s time too for the electorate to wake up & realise the folly of the politicians they elect.
*Europe died at Auschwitz*
Who or what really died at Auschwitz? Here’s an interesting viewpoint. The following is a copy of an article written by Spanish writer Sebastian Vilar Rodriguez and published in a Spanish newspaper. It doesn’t take much imagination to extrapolate the message to the rest of Europe – and possibly to the rest of the world.
*I walked down the streets in Barcelona and suddenly discovered a terrible truth – Europe died in Auschwitz !! We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million [SNIPS]
*In Auschwitz, we burned a group of people who represented culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who made great contributions to the world, and thus changed the world* .
*The contribution of today’s Jewish people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. Look at any donors’ board at any symphony, art museum, theatre, art gallery, science centre, etc. You will see many, many, Jewish surnames. These are the people who were burned. Of the 6,000,000 who died, how many would have grown up to be gifted musicians, doctors, artists, philanthropists* ?
*And under the pretence of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the diseases of racism and bigotry, Europe opened our gates to 20 million [SNIP]
*They have blown up our trains and turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime. Shut up in the apartments they receive free money from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts* .
*And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition. We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs. What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe* .
*Recently, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it ‘offends’ the [SNIPS] which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving in to it* .
*It is now approximately seventy years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the six million Jews, twenty million Russians, ten million Christians, and nineteen-hundred Catholic priests who were ‘murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, experimented on and humiliated. Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be ‘a myth* ,’ it is imperative to make sure the world “never forgets.”
*How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Centre ‘NEVER HAPPENED’ because it offends [SNIP]
*We must wake up America, England, Australia & Europe before it’s too late* !!.
” *If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools* ”.
Please do not just delete this message; It will take only a minute to pass this along.
This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million people. Be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world

Graham, who are your “we”?
04
WE , the people! It’s not really that difficult to understand . Do try a little harder,
50
Graham Richards,
You might try a little harder yourself.
You say “we” is “we the people”.
Which people? The people of Paraguay? Probably not. People of Australia? Bit peripheral. The people of Germany? Hardly the ones born after the war, and not all that many of the ones alive during it.
The reason this isn’t just pedantry is that there is a lot of special use of “we” for collective guilt and collective virtue. Aboriginal activists say “we suffered colonisation”. Colonisation happened 235 years ago, and the people making the claim don’t look all that old. For that matter, they don’t seem to be suffering all that badly either.
Strikes me as foolish to put Europe’s decline down to Auschwitz. Since the evil done in that place can’t be undone, nothing can be done to prevent Europe’s demise.
My counter-thesis is that Europe’s decline is, in fact, nothing to do with Auschwitz, and everything to do with stupid actions taken today. To be sure, those actions include suppressing national pride, and open immigration. You might argue that that’s so we won’t look like Nazis. That rationale does *not* explain other bonkers policies, like renewables or the phasing out of ICE vechicles.
The regrets about Nazis of 80 years ago are a smokescreen. Nothing can be done about them. The danger is in *today’s* authoritarians.

Robert Swan is technically correct but too severe. Poetry should be judged as art not as fact.
However, if poetic sentiments are used in laws and constitutions, that is another matter, much unintended harm can result.
Related. Immigrant groups can be of immense benefit to their host nations as described in Graham Richards email. I am thinking of the Huguenot driven out of France by religious persecution and who settled in England.
More recently, England has taken in two main types of migrants from India, in large numbers, those in the Hindu (and Buddhist and Christian) group have proved to be of great value, another group, well not so so much..
The important thing is to retain control, attract the productive who love life, keep out the destroyers whose aim is death.
00
Lucky,
It wasn’t poetry, it was a chain letter. Appears to be based on this 2010 article which is itself a translation of a Spanish article from 2008.
Chain letters deserve severe treatment. What will this one achieve if it reaches its 400 million reader target?
It’s better to see what can be done about the new evils brewing today than to be convinced it all stems from the evils done 80 years ago.
00
I have re-read Graham Richards’ post. Thanks for the push.
In it, the word “we” means European governments and societies of the time. Those not in government or not alive then may still want to associate themselves with events even if they would have opposed the decisions made, no blame or praise is due.
The events under discussion are not “new evils”.
They happened before, and are happening now.
Now, with that knowledge given in the email, or chain letter, to repeat the evil, by acts of commission or omission, is worse than if being ignorant.
The purpose of the communication is to warn and prevent. My hope is that it gets or exceeds the target circulation.
Yes there is collective blame to be laid- it does not go to the past but to those today even if they are silent.
00
Lucky,
Thanks for your considered response. One unfortunate thing with Jo’s blog is that threads tend to die too quickly for a proper discussion. Good to see this one bucking the trend.
By “new evils” I meant today’s evils — newness in time, not in concept — the key thing being that they are evils we might do something about. There’s not much can help the Jews in Auschwitz, but the Jews (and others) in Israel today deserve better support than they seem to be getting.
If I were audacious enough to try to address 400 million people with an e-mail, I’d be pretty careful about wording. Your interpretation of “we” is reasonable in parts of the letter, but not in others. Yes: “We burned a group of people who represented culture, …”. No: “We must wake up America, England…”. There is also a glaring in-between case:
(I do like the “SNIPS”: so coy!)
where the ones doing the burning were in the past, but the ones doing the replacing are here today. Two evils in my book, and the second was *not* entailed in the first. To lump them under one “we” is misleading. I think that’s what pushed me to back up Ted1 and give Graham Richards a bit of a serve for his shallow response.
The letter will reach the people it reaches (and good luck to it), but it’s message is a bit “preach to the choir”, I think. People who already see it that way will say “Hell, yeah!”; more woke people will just put it in the “right wing loonies” bucket (and then have a lie down in their safe space, I suppose).
What is really needed is for the woke to wake up. To realise that there is serious danger in virtue signalling, especially when it comes to immigration policies. Maybe turn to Aesop rather than Auschwitz. It’s not my favourite fable, but The Scorpion and the Frog could be a basis for a clearer warning.
10
The “we” is a translation from the Spanish. Maybe the original has a slightly different inference as to the perpetrators of the horrible events of WW11.

RobB,
Ok, I’ll bite. The interview is a month old. The guy only had scorn to offer. The discussion went nowhere. What was great about it?

Robert its a message I believe some people havent heard. I like the way he takes the p*** out of all the ‘Israel just defending itself’ propaganda and draws the analogy with the conquest of native Indians of North America. On another note, why are we being propagandised? Its not my war. There are lots of wars nobody cares about, why care about this one?

RobB – Palestine’s Treatment

Take a look at the data for Gaza from year 2005

Well I didnt accuse Israel of genocide, and neither did the comedian.

Tony,
Boris is only there for the publicity and “joined” for that reason . If advance notice was given he could have faced the consequences of his machinations . The “mail online” is a propaganda outlet that promotes “magical thinking” . How many people have now died or been horribly maimed in Ukraine and the middle east ?

Thank you for the follow up.
The whole “The White-Fella stole our land” narrative of Aboriginal activists falls apart when the truth that they are not Australia’s “first peoples” is exposed.
Over 60% of Australian land that should be owned by ALL Australians has been handed over to a minority based on a huge lie.
“If you tell a Big Lie often enough people will tend to believe it” – Joseph Goebbels
221
Likewise Mungo Man David. Intitial DNA testing suggested that he was not related to known aboriginal tribes. Subsequently it was suggested that this first DNA sample had been contaminated. Further testing indicated that he was an early relative of the current people native to the Lake Mungo area. The problem was then solved by reburying theses significant remains so further testing couldn’t be carried out. Interestingly the remains were “claimed” by two opposing tribes as being their forebear.
160
Also Kow Swamp man.
We will never know the truth when science is mixed with politics.
From Wiki:
So the data was just reinterpreted to fit the narrative. Only one Homo migration to Australia. No Homo erectus.

10
Without a supremacy, then anything is valid, eh? Your snarky claim implies that there is no God, no baseline Truths and no absolute references. If everything is relative, then nothing is reliable. That’s what you say.
That leaves all things wide open. Nothing is immoral or amoral in your system of values. Nothing at all. No limits.
Ever think about how those things might be visited upon yourself and what might be the outcome? No laws, limits, recompense, apology, etc? It might seem empowering to challenge all organized systems, but how might it be without them? Do radical thinkers ever think about that? Do they ever take responsibility for their ideology?
GA is disconnected from reality and lives in a protected world of irresponsibility, by all evidence. The real world begs to differ. Nothing you espouse has any relationship to reality.
71
Christians / Jews / Muslims may point to god to support their idea of morals. But that doesn’t mean they are the only ones with morals, simply because of an old testament connection or belief in god connection.
I think there are enough examples of groups of people (remote tribes) living in the world without a belief in god or a copy of the bible, who live by a set of morals or a concept of “right and wrong”.
There are certainly variances in morals. Even amongst those who have their moral basis in God. But the idea that there are no boundaries amongst those who don’t believe in God or creation would be wrong.
31
To the scoffer.

David, we were taught about the “little people” in primary school in Vic in the 50’s and 60’s . We also learnt that the “long boned” aboriginal people came 7000 years ago and bought the dingo with them. The new arrivals chased and hunted the little people who hid in the jungles of Queensland.
There is a photo of Truganini ( the last Tasmanian aboriginal) sitting on a dining room chair which shows her feet do not reach the floor.
160
The dingo came to Australia when Indian refugees, fleeing climate change, brought them here on boats.
These new arrivals, vastly out numbered by the locals, apparently settled in quite comfortably.
When Australia was joined to New Guinea, at the last glacial max, the little people set up camp at Cape York down to Cairns.
In the 1960s a UFO landed near a primary school in Victoria and the children ran down to greet them. They were the same size as the students and seemingly unafraid.
These little people you talk of might be Denisovans, their DNA is relatively abundant in the area.
14
Further to that, ‘these findings “are consistent with a model of an independent interbreeding event between Negritos and Denisovans within the Philippines, suggesting that Denisovans may have been in the islands long before the presence of any modern human ethnic group,” Larena tells Gizmodo.’ (The Scientist)

I attended Westall High School, arriving there in 1968. My wife and her sister were there in 1966 when the incident occurred.
We know some of the witnesses in the video linked below. Like it or not – it DID happen.

OMG. What else did someone tell you that you from 70 years ago that you’ve never thought might not be correct? Also, 7000 years is wrong.
UFO. Seriously?
30
Amazingly enough there were reports of a UFO .
https://www.news.com.au/technology/science/space/audio-reveals-creepy-details-of-australian-ufo-mystery/news-story/471c724255b0388ee4e930a4d35028e7
Some people believe that CO2 changes the weather though Gee Aye and the proof is lacking for both although belief is something that both camps have in common!
50
Amazingly I have heard this story, and the veracity of is neither here nor there. It was bizarre to bring it up, seemingly because the beings were small. Of all the things to associate with the other story…
20
Do you recognise satire.
10
‘Also, 7000 years is wrong.’
The exact date is 4,230 BP and the Indus Valley refugees probably picked up the dingo in Borneo.
20
The universe is 90 billion light years across but life only exists on Earth. What wonderful arrogance.
40
Clearly you read more into my comment than just two words – also explained later.
But anyway, it is not arrogant to be skeptical. Just because there are plausible reasons for thinking there is some or a lot of life out there, is no reason to accept every report of it.
What university gave you a science degree?
12
Quite a few well regarded scientists didn’t have science degrees.
I’m guessing the scientists and educators who compiled the syllabus and course material for the first science degree didn’t either.
.
(I’m not implying John Connor II doesn’t have a science degree. Nor am I implying that he is a well regarded scientist).
10
I assume those well known scientists without degrees displayed signs of understanding science.
00
None, but I have significant technical qualifications nonetheless, and awards for outstanding achievement.
Neither did Einstein, Tesla, Edison, Ben Franklin, John Rockefeller, Sir Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Bill Gates, Mike Dell, Zuckerberg, Ellison, Dorsey, Faraday, Henry Ford, Mendel and more.
Does a piece of paper from a rote-learning mill form the basis of your assessment of one’s entitlement to speak?
Do you have one?
Do you believe in a god or afterlife?
My objection lies in your out of hand dismissal of UFO’s, without evidence or a science degree presumably in UFOlogy, closing your mind to anything beyond your current perception of reality, as you have demonstrated before when confronted by more advanced concepts.
Scientific advancements do not come from closed minds – religious and cult mentalities do.
30
One could argue there is more evidence of UFO’s than anthropogenic climate change .
10
Similarly I was a mere communications technician and then an electronics technician with the ADF. No degree there, but a lot of applied science. Later I worked in an environmental role and one of my jobs was to take recently graduated Environmental scientists and Environmental biologists into the environment in which they were assumed to have some expertise.
The reality was that they had the opinion of their lecturers who clearly had the opinion of their lecturers. Some of them changed their ideas about the environment on which they were supposed to be budding experts. Some however, when what they saw that in the environment differed from what they had read in peer reviewed literature concluded that the environment must be wrong. I could have shown them plenty of peer reviewed literature that agreed with the environment. The latter group will no doubt be the next generation of lecturers. the others will be smart enough to be researchers.
I must say that I worked with some very good scientists during that period, and was co-author to two published papers. No degree though.
30
If you are so capable how can you justify no skepticism?
00
Not just a few photos, either.

Interestingly, they seem to be very physically similar to “little people” on the Indonesian island of Flores. The significance of the “Wallace Line”, has been suppressed to some extent. Serious, open study of Geology will reveal all manner of interesting things happening over colossal time frames, interspersed with globally catastrophic events.
And then, there is the interesting range of differences in physiognomy between the Tasmanian group, the “Mungo People” the tall, “blue” desert tribes, etc

You know things are bad when there is even a “fact check” (sic) from the Australian Museum denying the existence of the pygmy Aboriginals.

Unfortunately, David, Manning Clark was not the historian that he thought he was:
https://quadrant.org.au/magazine/2023/11/infected-with-manning-clarks-bad-history/
“Reading Clark’s little book I assumed that the history he told was accurate and fact-based, but read today the following paragraph is astonishing:
By the 1870s the behaviour of both sides [black and white] sank to a new low in human callousness and brutality. Near the Palmer goldfield in Queensland in June 1875, the Aborigines butchered all members of the Fraser family. The white men took this as evidence that no matter with what unvarying kindness you treated them, you never kindled one spark of gratitude in their bosoms. The young Fraser, shattered by the murder of his mother with a tomahawk, took the old Aboriginal woman who had lived with them for some time out to the verandah, outraged her there and then dashed out her brains against the verandah post. Terrible things happened in our country.
It is Clark who has done a terrible thing to our country, and the same account appears in the fourth volume of his History. Of course, there are superficial errors. The year he gives is wrong: the massacre of the Fraser family occurred on October 27, 1857. The location is wrong: Hornet Bank, the family station, is not near the Palmer goldfield but much further south on the Upper Dawson River. He probably placed the event in June 1875 because a paragraph from the Queensland Times (June 19, 1875) recounting what had occurred almost eighteen years before is the source of his account.”
Read the rest and make your own assessment.
Manning Clark was a lefty. Lefties have no regard for the truth.

Gaming of the trials was rife – refer to the ‘The Real Anthony Fauci’ by RF Kennedy Jr. for lots of worrying facts re the pharma/industrial complex.

This prediction has been around for nearly a year now-

(By treaty or by force, depending on which our rulers can accept) and what happens to the historically Polish or Hungarian or Romanian parts of Ukraine; I suspect he does not care. …NATO wanted to be on the border of Russia? Well, OK Russia will come to you… ”
Poland is keen to get the parts of Ukraine that were Polish back, Hungary would easily make the border areas work again, and Romania doesn’t have a lot of land in Ukraine. What happens to most of Western Ukraine when the men between 18 and 60 have been decimated? How long before the country can operate above the level of wheat farmers again?

The Irish are a warm and hospitable people, a fact confirmed to me during a recent visit. So it truly means something when 75% of them say that Ireland has taken in too many ‘refugees’. Of course, we could say the same thing about France, Sweden, America, Australia … But do our leaders care what the plebs think?
Mark Steyn put it this way:
“That seventy-five per cent poll response ought to be the baseline in the nations of the west. The political class has embarked on a mad and unprecedented experiment that discards all the most basic maxims of prudence: They have determined to transform our nations into something other. You can vote, as Britain did, for a party that promises to reduce immigration to mere thousands only to wake up to hear that its wretched and traitorous leadership have admitted 1.2 million migrants last year alone. That’s over four times as many immigrants as the United Kingdom took in during the nine centuries between 1066 and 1950 (about 200,000 Jews, 50,000 Huguenots, and a bit of flotsam and jetsam from hither and yon). What western governments are doing to their peoples is not normal, and should not be treated as such.”

Try this on for size – a thought experiment to start with: Gravity is the repulsive force between space time – the ‘ether’ – and mass. Electromagnetic waves are ripples in space time – ie essentially variations in gravitational strength, size of space and rate of change of time. EM waves go left & right \ up & down. Light goes in & out. The closer space time is together the slower time goes and the smaller the spatial dimensions are. A gradient in space time produces a gravitational force. Mass displaces space time thus creating a gradient that produces gravity. The density of space time is not constant.
10
Could you repeat that?
30
But, but, but “mass” (matter) doesn’t actually exist, it’s just “hard light” or solid photons.

But it’s like the Black Death, popular in Europe at one time, historically but totally incorrectly blamed on rats for transmission. The rats were just victims not primary carriers.
Rats however typically never roam more than a short distance from home and move slowly, FAR too slowly for such rapid transmission of Bubonic Plague.

Some strangeness from a paper on aboriginal genetics.
Scholars have long been flummoxed as to why the language spoken by 90 percent of Australia’s Aboriginal people is relatively young—approximately 4,000 years old according to language experts—if their ancestors had occupied the continent so much earlier. One possible answer has been that a second migration into Australia by people speaking this language occurred around 4,000 years ago. The authors of the new study, however, say a previously unidentified internal dispersal of Aboriginal people that swept from the northeast across Australia around that time led to the linguistic and cultural linking of the continent’s indigenous people. Although they had a sweeping impact on ancient Australian culture, these “ghost-like” migrants mysteriously disappeared from the genetic record.
“It’s a really weird scenario,” said evolutionary geneticist Eske Willerslev, a lead author of the study and a professor at the Center for GeoGenetics at the University of Copenhagen. “A few immigrants appear in different villages and communities around Australia. They change the way people speak and think; then they disappear, like ghosts. And people just carry on living in isolation the same way they always have. This may have happened for religious or cultural reasons that we can only speculate about. But in genetic terms, we have never seen anything like it before.”
80
So what type of language is Aboriginal? By that I mean is it SVO (subject/verb/object) or is it SOV, or some other?
SVO is like: “The dog chased the cat.” Most modern languages are SVO. Most European languages, such the Germanic languages and the Latin languages are. So obviously English is (<<<usually). The order is crucial so that it makes sense. But that hasn't always been the case. Prior to about 2300 years before present most languages were SOV. And Japanese doesn't care much about word order other than the verb is last because the roles of clauses and phrases are marked by post position particles. Very ancient languages tend not to be SVO. So I'm just curious.
60
Have heard that from over 500 different tribes most are similar but some are as different as Swedish is to the English language.
Does this point to at least two different origins I have no idea .
40
There are no “ancient languages” except in the past.
Languages evolve – the English from 1000 years ago is unintelligible to the average english speaker and the evidence is overwhelming that this is true of all languages. The rate of change plus the fact that languages don’t evolve like DNA does (words and phrases can jump across or between continents via trade for example) means that the language evolution tree is very hard to create for more than a few thousand years of evolution. So relating say a Tasmanian language to north QLD or WA languages, is impossible as the amount of difference is pretty much saturated, and the shared similarities tiny or coincidental.
14
Words and phrases can jump around but deep structure to language can be much more enduring.
What do I mean by this? Am told that some Oceanic languages have very strong chaining of verb tenses (moving around in perspective). This is a whole different way of linguistic thought pattern.
It’s the sublty of how words are used rather than the specific tokens employed.
“I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse.”
40
“Can” is the important word. It also does not preclude a language being replaced in a region -by invasion for instance – so that related languages are either side of an unrelated language. This new language can have an unrelated structure.
20
FC – this is the 2016 study you are referencing? I think you have the wrong end of the stick. His comment is that a pattern in the data is not explained by any scenarios (ie models) that fit the data. It is a pretty unexceptional admission that they’d like to study this further as clearly there is an influence they have not nailed down (they are not actual ghosts you know).

“One possible answer has been that a second migration into Australia by people speaking this language occurred around 4,000 years ago.”
It is estimated that dingoes arrived in Australia around 3000 years ago. There are only three possible ways dingoes could get to Australia:
a. Descendants of earlier arrivals could have travelled out and bought the dingoes back;
b. New arrivals could have bought the dingoes with them; or
c. The dingoes could have arrived independently.
New arrivals could support a second migration theory.
10
They say they haven’t found new genetic markers arriving in Aus for 37000 years, when Aboriginal and Papuan/New Guinea strains separated, even though there was still a land connection.

Doctors Warn Millions Of Patients Experiencing ‘Lifetime of Bone Loss’ One Year After Jab
Dr. Amy Hartsfield, an Alabama-based orofacial pain and dental sleep medicine specialist, says she has seen a massive increase in patients as of late who say their otherwise healthy teeth and jaw bones are hurting and even deteriorating for no apparent reason.
“I’ve seen patients with no previous history of health issues [who] have perfectly healthy teeth and now have pain syndromes associated with these healthy teeth,” Hartsfield told the independent media.
Many of Hartsfield’s patients are suffering with head and facial neurovascular and myofascial pain that includes headaches, toothaches unrelated to the actual tooth or teeth, osteonecrosis of the jaw, sleeping problems, tinnitus, and oral and facial autoimmune conditions. Such conditions are linked to the propensity of Fauci Flu shots to cause “micro” blood clots throughout the body, Hartsfield explained.
One such person who started suffering severe bone loss after getting injected with Moderna’s mRNA injection is 79-year-old Cheryl Alverson, who had to have all of her lower teeth extracted due to a massive recurring infection caused by extensive, post-injection bone loss.
Alverson went to see Hartsfield, who ordered multiple blood tests, including several specifically associated with blood clotting. They showed that Alverson’s body had become overloaded with microclots from the shots.

Does a ‘Detox’ Really Work?
What is a “detox”? It’s a process that involves using particular products, diets or other detoxification methods to try and rid the body of so-called “toxins”.
Detoxes are prevalent on social media and spruiked by brands offering detox products, celebrities and influencers.
The “detox” tag is appearing on a growing range of teas, coffee, infused waters, drinks with added fruit, vegetables, herbal mixes, nutrients or added blends of “natural” ingredients. These products often claim to flush toxins from the body, or to boost immunity.
Global predictions indicate the detox drink market, estimated at more than US$5 billion in 2022, will grow in value by another 50% before 2030.
A survey of detoxification therapies used by naturopaths in the United States reported that more than three-quarters recommended dietary measures, including “cleansing foods” (such as beetroot), vitamin, mineral or antioxidant supplements, organic foods, elimination diets and probiotics.
Do detoxes work?
The short answer is no. A review published in 2022 found detox diets failed to identify plausible pathways by which toxins could be eliminated, or the specific toxins supposedly removed by a particular diet.
This review also pointed out that detoxes defy the general principles of human physiology, in that the liver and kidneys are quite efficient at removing toxins from our bodies.
A previous review from 2015 similarly found studies did not provide convincing evidence to support the use of detox diets.
Detox products don’t have to prove they’re effective to be on the market. In Australia, complementary medicines sold over the counter are regulated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration, with ingredients assessed for quality and safety, but not whether the products actually work.
https://www.sciencealert.com/does-a-detox-really-work-an-expert-reveals-the-truth
That’s right, “celebrity” promoted and all other detoxes are just scams to be avoided.
Controlled fasting (autophagy benefits) and healthy food is not the same thing though. Beetroot is an excellent blood pressure lowerer, better than drugs in fact but it’s not a detoxer.
The body can regulate itself (homeostasis) to an extremely high degree, so some old codgers on tv asking “do you suffer from too much acid?” while dropping a Mentos into some Cola should be laughed at. And I do.
I’ve seen the fallout, on a technical medical level, from people following these idiotic social media fad detoxes and a lot of people are dicing with death or worse (alive but a vegetable).
Avoid detoxes!
40
“Beetroot is an excellent blood pressure lowerer”- is that one of those situations where you have to eat a can of beetroot per day for a year before you notice results? I could probably do a Dr Google, but if someone has already done it……
20
Mr. Connor: “found detox diets failed to identify plausible pathways … or specify toxins supposedly removed by a particular diet.” Sounds like Climate Science! CliSci fails to identify plausible “feedbacks” causing catastrophe (they do have some implausible ones that they find very reliable), and they don’t specify anything good resulting from less CO2 (well, they think cooler is better, again an implausible point that they cling to).

Europe’s grid is under a cyberattack deluge, industry warns
Thousands of cyberattacks have inundated Europe’s energy grid since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and a top industry leader is calling for help as officials and researchers fret that not nearly enough is being done.
“The crooks are becoming better by the day, so we need to become better by the day,” Leonhard Birnbaum, the chief executive of E.ON, one of Europe’s largest utilities, said in an interview. “I’m worried now and I will be even more worried in the future.”
Birnbaum has reason to fret. A recent report from the International Energy Agency found the average number of cyberattacks against utilities each week more than doubled between 2020 and 2022 worldwide — with 1,101 weekly attacks registered last year.
https://www.politico.eu/article/energy-power-europe-grid-is-under-a-cyberattack-deluge-industry-warns/
Russia, China, NK, India, Ukraine, USA (#1 spot), Germany, France, Vietnam…
Take your pick. They’re all top SOURCES of cyberattacks, state sponsored or not.
Unlike Hollywood depictions where attackers only require 5 minutes, cyberattacks can take months or years (Stuxnet took 3 years) to succeed.
What you see now is just the beginning, as the great spiral-down continues.
20
But replacing energy sources that work – are ‘dispatchable’ – like coal, gas, [& nuclear where permitted by the wokerati] and even oil, with energy sources that are liable not to be there when you need them – wind and solar – though a mention for tidal – is not a cyber attack.
It’s an attack by useful idiots, out to destroy our civilisation.
And our culture.
And succeeding, I fear.
And our elected politicians are actively abetting it.
Mostly because they have no technical knowledge at all. Yet ‘we’ elected them.

Eastern half, not just the coast – which is often wet, especially at this time of year. The western bit (not half, a fair bit less than that – for example western SA is currently bordering on cold for late Nov) is hot due to persistent high pressure well south of about Esperance driving E/NE winds over Perth. Maybe this blocking high will move east and the centre shall become really hot and the east even wetter. The main point is that all we have been told for months is that the combination of El Nino and +ve IOD shall mean HOT and DRY. As you imply, it has yet to materialise.

Industry Giants Bet Big on Sodium Battery, Major Shift Looms in Energy Storage Tech, EVs
In a move that could redefine the energy storage and electric vehicle (EV) landscape, industry giants are placing their bets on a revolutionary technology: sodium-based batteries.
As Bloomberg reports, this strategic shift signifies a potential game-changer, leveraging sodium’s abundance and cost-effectiveness to challenge the dominance of lithium in the battery market.
Sweden’s Northvolt AB has announced a significant breakthrough in sodium battery technology, while Chinese EV manufacturer BYD Co. inked a staggering $1.4 billion deal to construct a sodium-ion battery plant.
Adding to this momentum, China’s CATL previously declared the utilization of sodium-based batteries in vehicles starting this year.

Still some way to go to compete with Lithium products but that’ll change quickly.
