Please: This Blogger could use your help to shine a light on grift, graft and pagan witchcraft in science

For a few days new posts will appear below this one. Thank you to everyone and Merry Christmas!

From Jo Nova

Thanks to the wonderful souls who helps me cover the bills, so I can roast those who abuse science for profit and power.

This year saw the Net Zero mythology take a mortal blow.  Electricity prices hit a bleeding point just as the Trump hammer fell, and the insatiable AI race spooked the Blob, which suddenly realized there actually was a global energy contest and we are the losers. But despite these wins, the bankers that created the bubble took the profit and ran (for Prime Minister of Canada), the witchdoctor-scientists still give terrible advice, and billions are still being poured into glorified rain-dances.

We still have to win the science war. The modern shaman tell us batteries will change the jet streams, save koalas, stop domestic violence and end wars.  Then the ARC gives them another grant. And the ABC gives them free advertising. And we pay for all of it: the CSIRO-bad-science, the subsidies, and the ABC-BBC-CBC blob.

Then there is the free speech war. The Ministry of  Misinformation will return. The government wants to stop us reaching the children with our dangerous graphs of the Holocene, the Eemian and Chinese coal use. We all know they banned X for under 16s but not its mirror leftie twin “BlueSky”. Age Verification is just an excuse for Digital ID which starts softly and quietly two days after Christmas. Shh!

Meanwhile, The cyber attacks on this site started on Easter Saturday, two weeks before the Australian election, crippling the blog for days until we added better armor, which costs more. The hostile force behind that kept coming back. This was a graph below of a typical day in September when a thousand ‘people’ in Singapore suddenly needed to read this site at half past the hour, every hour. Similar artificial patterns came often from Chinese servers, or through Hong Kong or Vietnam. There was also a lot of US traffic, but not with this screaming spike pattern. Those who were attacking didn’t bother to hide it. They wanted me to know, perhaps hoping I would be intimidated?

Presumably the CCP doesn’t like it when I explain that China makes out like bandits from our Net Zero stupidity, which I’ve done, 146 times. 

It’s been 17 years here on this blog, somehow, outside the system, living off goodwill and donations, debating the U.N. and trillion dollar cartels. Real freedom is writing with no corporate sponsor, and no major advertiser. There’s no billionaire publisher to cancel me. The government can’t take away a grant it never gave me, and the cowards of Cancel Culture can’t scare away the advertisers I don’t have.

I am not dependent on any institution, but I am of course, dependent on you, the reader, which is exactly how it should be. To serve the people direct, instead of serving Disney, Pfizer or President Xi. When no one holds the strings, everyone does.

I don’t ask for a subscription here, just some help if you can spare it.

Thank you to everyone who cancelled subscriptions to the propaganda sheets, and sent that money to someone in the new independent media instead.
