Of course, amongst the ruling elite that headline would say “Far right” with the clear inferences to fascism. The latest example being Rumania whose Former President was arrested and then barred from standing.

Well, when you’re defending democracy, ya’ can’t be going around being all democratic about things.

The pot is stirring!
So ,what is in it?
00
Unelected Soviet Union leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, who brought free speech to Russia, said the European Union is the old Soviet Union dressed in Western clothes. Both the old Soviet Union and the new European Union regard their enemies as Far-right. Until Gorbachev, the Soviet Union banned right-wing political parties and free speech.
Unelected European Union Führer, Ursula von der Leyen, said that free speech is a virus, and that censorship is the vaccine to ‘Shield’ EU citizens from ‘disinformation’. Von der Leyen also uses the term ‘Democracy’ in much the same vein as North Korea, officially called the ‘Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, which is also a Far-left regime that bans right-wing political parties.
Until 1989, Romania was a Communist country under far-left dictator, Nicolae Ceaușescu, who also banned right-wing political parties and candidates. Now the European Union member has once again banned a right-wing candidate for being a popular populist and therefore the favourite to be the next President of Romania. But Calin Georgescu has been banned from the May elections because he is not left-wing, like every one else approved by the Soviet system now adopted by the European Union.
261
Would the Russian Uni-party Democracy be considered right wing, centrist or left wing in todays world?

Vote green for right wing, red for left wing.

As Trump wages economic warfare on his closest allies, new tariffs have been put on the UK and EU.
Canada has retaliated to ones imposed on them earlier with the previously very close relationship souring.
Mr Trump reportedly said he didn’t care about Europe or Taiwan. I wonder what he thinks of Australia? Is he aware of where it is? Does he see it as a potential supplier of rare earths and uranium so a deal can be done, or a useful aircraft carrier to ward off the threats from China?
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14490999/canada-new-tariff-computers-sports-gear-trade-war.html

Trump’s view of the world is not complicated. He knows all the politicians in power in the UK, Europe and Australia are dumb suckers. All scammed by the Climate Scam. He has more respect for Putin, Xi, Modi and the few others who are making money from the scam or just not taking part.
Trump prefers to be on the right side of the scam rather than being one of the dumb suckers.
240
Is Australia still mired in a ‘per capita’ recession?
The Trump Tariffs won’t help. Why has he included Australia who play so fair in the other direction? It’s a good question.
Doesn’t he like Albanese?
40
Trump only cares about America. You know, almost like THAT is his job. On top of this – and unsurprisingly given he is a businessman – he very firmly follows the old political adage, “It’s the economy, stupid.” He clearly believes that success with and popularity among voters comes down to how well they’re doing financially. All the political nonsense and luxury beliefs such as AGW, trans rights and wokishness are peripheral, easily beaten so long as people have money in their pockets, a roof over their heads and opportunities to succeed.
Consequently, his almost total focus is on the economy, one way or another, whether it is cutting government waste, evicting illegal immigrants or ending the war in Ukraine. Of course he must also fight the forces arrayed against him, trying to block his agenda, hence his various actions against bad faith actors in ‘The Swamp’, but his objective is to balance the books, create wealth and MAGA!
190
He may not start WW3 (by declaration), but he is certainly laying the groundwork.

It’s not surprising really that Europe look like they are trying to start WWIII. They started the last two after all…
90
So in order to stop WW3, Europe should roll over and capitulate.
Peace built on appeasement isn’t peace—it’s just a delay before the next war.
12
So we see.
But I know no logic that says it had to be so.
00
I’m afraid logic no longer applies. The ball is in the US court. They can stop continued special military operations in Europe if they choose to.
It took a lot of bloodshed during the two wars last century before the US finally realised that not stepping in would place them in the next firing line.
I would award President Trump any peace prize he wants if he convinces Russia to back off now and leave Europe alone. A ceasefire is not enough.
12
” They can stop continued special military operations in Europe if they choose to”
I doubt that, the USA has very little sway over Russia, it will end when Putin wants it to end.
A ceasefire is definitely not enough, Putin wants the Yanks & Brits to stop trying to destroy Russia, so he will want a demilitarised zone wide enough to allow radar warning of missiles and an end to the border attacks. All the American bases will have to move back Westwards.
He won’t trust the American’s words of Minsk one and two again. That said, a return to American isolationism would be a blessing upon the world, may Trump succeed in that.
20
Peace built on appeasement isn’t peace—it’s just a delay before the next war.
President Salva Kiir and First Vice President Riek Machar in South Sudan would agree whole-heartedly with you.
The very idea that they could co-govern when they have both threatened to slaughter the other’s family (and everyone aligned with them) is frankly ridiculous.
One lot slaughtering the other lot is the only way this can be settled, once and for all.

The EU is close to launching the digital Euro, which the EU, up to a year or so ago claimed that the claim of digital Euro was a conspiracy theory. It has become so common that conspiracy theories turn into realities.

The captain of the Solong that rammed the US hired tanker ship full of military aviation fuel supply has been arrested.
The US ship was in a marked anchorage area with several other ships. Various ships successfully navigated through and around the anchored vessels before the collision.
The captain is a Russian.
Conspiracy material aplenty.

Being Russian he probably wasn’t sober, at the helm and more than likely in his cabin.
91
Yes, thats an interesting one. The ship the Russian captain rammed was a US one full of jet fighter fuel-so it is claimed. Collisions happen all the time as do conspiracy theories, so guess we will just have to wait to see what truths emerge from all this.

No evidence that the ABC could find, anyway.

The UK staged the collision to blame Russia.
That significantly increases the probability of Russia being responsible, in the world of conspiracy theory logic.

Unfortunately, in many – most? – maritime accidents, the Captain is blamed, and so arrested.
The Captain – the Master – is certainly responsible, but may be blameless.
The ‘Exxon Valdez’ – a generation ago – was one example: –
The Master had instructed the Officer of the Watch – OOW – to follow the course line laid on the chart.
The OOW failed to do so, not changing course as required.
The ship ran aground – the Master was the responsible guy, but was blameless, in that he had done all he should, and another man’s error caused the accident.
In the current ‘Stena Immaculate’-‘Solong’ case, we simply do not have the information.
Perhaps the Master was on watch himself. Perhaps not.
Auto
10
Further, we do not – so far as I have seen – know the identity of the missing [and, sadly, presumed dead] crew member.
Might that be the on-watch watchkeeper? The OOW at the time of the accident?
We don’t know.

Massive stretch of Amazon rainforest destroyed for upcoming COP30 climate summit’s 4-lane highway: ‘This is a loss’
https://nypost.com/2025/03/12/world-news/amazon-rainforest-destroyed-to-build-road-for-climate-summit/
Somebody get Greta on the horn!
Tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest are being cleared and paved over to build a new four-lane highway for, of all things, the upcoming COP30 climate summit in Brazil.
The eight-mile stretch of new highway — dubbed Avenida Liberdade, or Avenue of Liberty — has gouged a deep gash through a large swath of Amazon rainforest just in time for world leaders to convene to discuss how much they care about the Amazon rainforest….

Gross hypocrisy is the new religion/modus operandi of climate catastrophists – evidenced by Tanya Plibersek’s mob (DCCEEW) giving the Fitzroy Basin Association $4.5 million from the Australian Government’s Saving Koalas Fund “to restore and protect koala habitat in areas of significant koala populations in the Clarke-Connors Range” (Link: https://fba.org.au/fba-koala-projects-in-the-clarke-connors-range) – while at the same time the Queensland government approved Twiggy Forrest’s (Squadron Energy) massive bird chopper project (together with others) to effectively devastate koala (Queensland’s fauna emblem) habitat in the same Clarke-Connors range system!
Meanwhile that State has gone one step further by directly investing $845 M (via its quango CS Energy) into the Lotus Creek bird chopper project. A largely pristine wilderness on the northern side of the above coastal range continuum. But of course, all this is completely opaque to your urban yuppie voter. As is the fact that the Queensland government has exempted the clearing of forest/woodland for ‘renewables’ on land that would have led to 5-6 figure fines if carried out by rural landholders.

From the Spectator Australia –
“Wind droughts would have been the most important discovery in the 20th Century but the discovery came too late to avert the rush to wind and solar power.
Nobody who knew about wind droughts would have tried to replace cheap and reliable conventional power with intermittent inputs to the grid.
This suicidal detour from the main road of power generation has cost trillions of dollars globally and delivered more expensive and less reliable electricity with massive collateral damage to the planet.
This must be one of the worst public policy blunders in recorded history and quite likely the worst in peacetime.”
200
And more –
“Wind droughts are the weak link in the electricity chain if we ever depend on intermittent energy and that is why the coal fires will have to be kept burning until we have nuclear power at scale.
The work by Lang and Miskelly has not yet made any difference, despite the support of Jo Nova with her blog and briefing notes from the Energy Realists of Australia.”
130
Wind droughts a discovery? Do these people never venture outdoors? how many stories and piems have been written about becalmed ships over 100s of years? Have they ever looked at weather maps and wonder what those giant high pressure systems do?

“What Happens When You Trim Fat?”
“Today a big story at Time Magazine is “U.S. Added to Global Human Rights Watchlist Over Declining Civil Liberties.”
I know, the first thing you think is, “Is Time Magazine still in business? I didn’t even know that.” Well, apparently it is, and some people apparently think it’s a news source.
In this case, a human rights organization called CIVICUS that publishes a list scoring human rights in various countries made a press release announcing that they had added the United States to a “watchlist,” of which the other prize winners are the Democratic Republic of Congo, Italy, Pakistan, and Serbia.”
“So what heinous crimes has America committed to place it in this rogues’ gallery? According to CIVICUS:
A spate of arbitrary executive orders has resulted in mass firings of federal government employees coupled with the takeover of key positions in the administration including the Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation by Trump loyalists. They are likely to severely impact constitutional freedoms of peaceful assembly, expression, and association. … United States, once a global champion of democracy and human rights, joins the first 2025 watchlist along with Democratic Republic of Congo, Italy, Pakistan, and Serbia. The arbitrary US pullbacks from aid and multilateral cooperation, including the World Health Organisation and the UN Human Rights Council, will likely impact civic freedoms and reverse hard-won human rights gains around the world. [emphasis added]”
“So what puts America among countries like Pakistan and the DRC is that… the new administration brought in its own appointees to political appointments and cut funding and support to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the UN Human Rights Council, some notable members of which include Afghanistan, China, Iraq, Cuba, and Nicaragua.”
“Curious, I looked at the estimable DataRepublican Nonprofit Financials page, where I found that in its most recent filing, CIVICUS has a total of $10,573,000 (rounded to the nearest dollar) in receipts, of which $7,882,463 — or about 75% — came from the US taxpayer.”

Charles will preside over the destruction of the British monarchy, thanks to his progressive views. His isn’t intelligent, so doesn’t realise that he cannot ‘reshape’ the monarchy into a modern, woke yet still rich and influential institution. He’s trying to mix oil and water.
What he started William will complete because he holds similar views. Dumb as bricks, the pair of them. I bet Princess Anne, who IS smart and also a traditionalist, screams into her pillow every night.
180
What astounds me is that all of those monarchist types(full tilt anglophiles) like Abbott wet their pants when royalty is mentioned. When you have the loopiest monarch since (take your pick) whenever who espouses green talking points, you have to wonder about consistency.
30
European Royalty is too in bred. It’ll take more than a couple of generations of commoners to correct the problem by which time “Royal Persons” will have been consigned to history. Relics of a bygone era. They’re already a joke for tourists to gawk at.
30
Your comment would have carried more weight without the crude attack on Abbott. I’m not a monarchist, but I don’t want to see that old institution, one of few remaining that still wave the Union Jack (for the moment at least), go down the gurgler. I thoroughly enjoyed all the pomp whenever Queen Liz headed an event, especially if it involved the full panoply of British military, i.e. Trooping the Colour. I saw the monarchy as preserving just a little something from England’s past.
Others – Brits and those who have some fondness for Britain – are a lot more enthusiastic than I am, but that’s OK. Does no harm.
60
I’m not sure I even had much respect for Queen Liz.
For example, she could have dissolved* Cameron’s government, on the grounds that he lied to ‘her subjects’ by promising to cut ¡mm¡grat¡on from the 100s of thousands to the tens of thousands … He never even got close to honouring that pledge. It was a fabrication to get votes.
*whatever the term is … withdrawing the Royal Warrant?

Chris Bowen has posted a video message about coal powered electricity generation.
https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1Cab8QZdz3/
.
Dunno if that stat is true or if he’s being tricky with words. But it does highlight a difference between coal and wind/solar in relation to unexpected. That’s the beauty of coal. Lack of power generation is unexpected. While with wind and solar, we expect the wind not to blow and the sun not to shine every day/night.
130
A few facts to consider:
It’s no wonder a few of them are taking long service leave, and bleedingly obvious that wind/solar cannot cope without them.
Why not build some new ones until nuclear will inevitably replace them + wind/solar?
110
Do not know if Bowen’s fact is true. But I do know that my solar panels and every solar farm in Australia stopped producing every day of every year and will continue to do so.
120
As a commentator pointed out in The Australian this morning, coal power plant efficiencies would still exceed average solar and wind efficiencies.
40
Bowen is a factless fool. However, there have been a number of days when the coal munching hasn’t been optimum but most of that is attributed to intentional poor maintenance. The private owners do enough to keep the furnaces generating long enough to make their investments in solar and wind seem viable. More often than not grid bids by coal generators lose due to over supply of w and s. It’s all part of a scam to ensure the subsidies keep rolling in.
50
The saying just keeps ringing in our ears.
You can’t cure stupid.
Especially when a man’s pay cheque depends on him being stupid.
60
One tires of being lied to by those who believe they have authority over us, and who grow rich on the taxes we are obliged to pay to continue of live and operate in our own country.
If Bowen does not know that without coal-fired electricity generation, this country would be blacked out right now, with no hope of recovery, then he has no right to be sitting in parliament, let alone making policy that affects us all.

So ,the world’s collective medical community lied about the millions of deaths?, as for the subject of aliens : evidence please.

What ‘community’?
Where do I find the sacred ‘evidence’ for this truth as opposed to lies, the ‘community’ declares?
(Ha, rhetorical question, the NYT, Google, and I suppose AI now.)
You mean the ‘consensus’ where all truth is unassailable until the consensus re-consensusizes and the New Truth erases all others?
Methinks ‘collective’ is the operative condition you seek.
And the evidence conditional.
The cube will provide.
And you will be one with consensus.
Resistance will likely turn out to be futile if the most powerful forces in the community have their openly declared way.
As we know from consensus … all ‘communities’ of color agree, as does the one and only outlying opposing ‘community’ that has no color.
The last time I went to a doctor (Actually, I didn’t make the cue to doctor level), the nurse practitioner kept her eyes has on the computer screen, faithfully following the ‘community’.
No help at all.
I weathered the ‘Pandemic’ by ignoring entirely the consensus of the ‘community’.

The impact on Trump’s tariffs are already focusing Australian businesses on the US.
Orica sees opportunities in the USA:
Orica employs 15,000 people across more than 100 countries, and Mr Gandhi says his company is threatening to increase investment in the United States if energy prices do not come down in Australia.
The company recently acquired assets there worth $1.5 billion.
“[The US is] pro-manufacturing, they’ve got cheap energy, they’ve got good gas supply and reserves. It’s one of the most attractive markets to invest today,” he said.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-13/gas-energy-costs-threaten-manufacturing/104788984
So Australia’s energy costs are already hitting hard on Orica. Throw in US tariffs and business incentives and it is quite obvious where Orica is going to invest. And it is not in NetZero didsabled Australia.

The Root of Recurrence: Targeting Cancer’s Resilient Core
Today marks a paradigm shift in the way cancer is treated.
With Dr. Paul Marik’s announcement of the war on Cancer Stem Cells using metabolic and pathway directed treatments, we shall witness the beginning of the end of cancer. No longer will cancer recurrence be the norm. And no longer will cancer remain a leading cause of death.
A Cancer Stem Cell can replicate indefinitely meaning that once the main tumor is removed or radiated away, these cancer stem cells can simply restore it. What has been missing in modern cancer treatment is any attempt to destroy Cancer Stem Cells.
This explains why much of cancer treatment is doomed to fail. Because when these CSCs regrow the cancer, metastases will result. Metastasis is the cause of 90% of cancer-related deaths.

Is Australia in recession, or teetering on the edge of an official recession while a per capital recession continues and has done for longer than ever before.
Labor Treasurer Keating once described the economy saying you can’t detect a pulse in a corpse. Right now the latest GDP growth was 0.6% which is life support needed level, balanced on a knife edge.
The worst recession here for 60 years began 1990 and after Labor had deregulated the banking and finance industry with no specific government watchdog – Howard Government created APRA (Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority 1998) after the recession had ended.
Today Victoria is looking like the 1980s economic basket case and then called Rust Belt of Victoria, record high immigration is being used to dampen the recessionary trend, public service employment is being used to hide the real rate of unemployment with 36,000 added to Federal public service and more via States.

If you want to know if an economy is in recession, you look at how much the Govt is borrowing… and aren’t we at record high debt levels right now?

Australians, not all, are complaining about President Trumps imposing trade barriers in the form of tariff protection for US businesses but ignore that his campaign theme was to Make America Great Again.
And I get the message that he does not want far left governments internationally to prosper and to gain strength by increasing military power etc.
During his first term he was highly critical of the United Nations and how they have multiplied into many tentacles of an octopus of organisations all interfering in the affairs of member nations.
Research 1975 UN Lima Protocol Agreement and objective to redistribute the wealth of developed nations to developing nations, China for example.
Also UN Agenda 21 – Sustainability and the many impositions including locking up large areas of converted to National Parks from State Forests so no more logging, mining, anything really. And Marine National Parks decimating the commercial fishing industry and now Australia imports a lot of seafood from developing countries.
Next was climate change based hoax politics and emissions reduction targets impacting on national prosperity based on economic vandalism, Kyoto, Paris and Glasgow with net zero emissions adding to the trap that damages potential growth of economies but favours developing economies where emissions are ignored.

He certainly stuffed up in western Europe then – they have been let off the leash.

A bipartisan cohort of reckless elected leaders, backed by a foreign-owned press, made wild claims of mass-casualty antisemitic terror, aiming—and succeeding—to divide our country and exploit the manufactured chaos to force draconian changes to our cherished democratic freedoms. This is a full-blown disaster for public trust in government, an unprecedented assault on the social contract, with fallout that will catch up to those who think they can escape accountability.

Our ‘cowardly political class too concerned about their personal affairs and favours owed to the powerful’ seem to have no sense of the weight of history they are playing with.
In the Spring of 1923, a Reichstag committee was convened to examine why the mark had fallen to 30,000 to the dollar. By the time the Committee met on the 18 June, the mark was down to 152,000 to the dollar.
….
The tendency of the exchange depreciation to anticipate and outstrip the domestic price increases, astronomic though these might be, attracted, again as in France, an international army of bargain-hunters. This was augmented by domestic entrepreneurs who acquired the property of those, who, their savings now worthless, had to sell household goods, paintings, other family artifacts or real estate in order to eat. As the inflation proceeded, the export of personal treasure was prohibited and people leaving Germany were made to open their baggage and surrender their loot. In France the bargain-hunters were assumed to be American. In Germany, much more ominously, word was passed that they were Jews.
….
That the great German inflation, like the ones elsewhere in central Europe, produced a large transfer of wealth from those who possessed savings accounts, money, securities or mortgages to those who had debts or tangible property is assumed. And, despite a shortage of affirming statistics, that such transfer occurred does seem plausible. The loss so involved, the parallel loss by people of their stake in the social order and the companion anger and frustration were, in turn, thought to have much to do with the rise of Fascism or Communism.
….
All of the countries of central Europe that suffered a collapse of their currencies following the First World War were eventually to experience Fascism, Communism or in most cases – Poland, Hungary, East Germany – both.

“Meanwhile, Ukraine has backed a US proposal for a 30-day general ceasefire with Russia, with the United States in turn agreeing to lift restrictions on military aid and intelligence sharing, a joint statement said.”
That means they are losing, plain as day.. “Quickly, organise a ceasefire while we work out what to do and how to finance it, then flood the country with missiles and mercenaries..”
The Ukies will be pushed out of Russian Kursk within a week, then we will see how it goes.
