Germany is again becoming notorious for human rights violations. The district prosecutor of Nuremberg, Petra Strohbach, was considering prosecuting Holocaust Survivor Vera Sharav, for comparing modern Germany with nazi Germany, after she delivered a powerful speech condemning Germany for medical experimentation without informed consent, and warning of a resurgence of totalitarianism and genocidal policies in Germany. Today German doctors are mercilessly defamed, hunted, threatened, and punished with imprisonment by the German nasty socialist state. Double prosecution became the norm, in some cases resulting in the revocation of medical licenses. The courts are deaf to scientific and medical facts, and issued politically compliant judgements in line with nasty socialist ideology. So on January 10, 2026, U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sent a message to Reich Health Minister, Nina Warken, telling her that “Reports from Germany show that the government is disregarding the autonomy of patients and restricting people’s ability to make medical decisions based on their own beliefs.” “I have learned that more than 1,000 German doctors and thousands of their patients are currently being prosecuted and punished for issuing exemptions from wearing masks or COVID-19 vaccinations during the pandemic.” “When a government criminalizes doctors for advising their patients, it crosses a line that free societies have always considered sacrosanct.” The United States demands that the German Reich decriminalise doctors who respect the Nuremberg Code, Informed Consent, the Geneva Oath, Free Speech, Popular Democracy and the Hippocratic Oath, or else Trump will remind the German Reich that the United States has 35,068 active-duty U.S. troops stationed in Germany, which can quickly be increased to over 80,000 military personnel, in any operation needed to restore freedom to Germany: https://youtu.be/lo8VOjbxLE0

There is a view that the tide has turned in Germany, and that what you have presented here is the dying throes of the Beast.
This is perhaps something that ought to be welcomed by all free people, or at least those who remember what freedom was.
The case is presented eloquently and accurately, quoting the relevant history , in these two links.
The rise of One Nation in Oz, and NZFirst in Godzone, indicate a slow awakening.
Taken to its conclusion , it means the end of colonialism , and The Firm as the oppressor of all humanity under the guise of globalism.

farmerbraun,
Hmmm. Your “eloquently and accurately” is my “kookily and incoherently”.
The secret codes: “ernie” == British Empire, “The Firm” == Britain — have you ever seen these used? I remember ERNIE was the name of random number generator used in the British Premium Bonds lottery. Ominous…
Her reasoning strikes me as similar to the creationists. Where they say how could a universe so orderly and intricate come together by chance, she has come up with her own theory of The Firm, etc., to explain why nice people like her aren’t rich like Bill Gates. It’s the evil British (just like in 1776).
12
In my lifetime , Brit royalty has always been referred to as The Firm Robert.
You haven’t noticed?
But that is not in itself a criticism of the article.
But clearly your takeaway from the article was completely your own: I didn’t get anything like that.
Nothing about getting rich or emulating Bill Gates that I could see.
Always good to be sceptical though:-)

The United States demands that the Australian Govt decriminalise people’s speech or else Trump will remind them that the United States has 35,068 active-duty U.S. troops stationed in Darwin, which can quickly be increased to over 80,000 military personnel, in any operation needed to restore freedom to Australia.

I posted on here a while back about the 6 weeks’ wait on death certificates in Queensland.
To report that actual performance is only four weeks and we received my Mum’s death certificate this week.
Maybe there are some important people that read this blog and started kicking off?
Although I was surprised to get an actual time frame indicated for a backlog, normally it is just ‘we have a backlog’. So maybe underreporting the backlog is just a good strategy so that when people get their document earlier, they are surprised and delighted so forget about a backlog.
140
Well, that beats my 13month wait for a pension card so far, I’ve just paid the second car rego that I shouldn’t have had to. Seems there are far too many people retiring for the work rate of our bureaurats, although its a gain for them when they back-pay you a lump sum as its been devalued by the 15% inflation.
Not that Canberra will pay me any money, and if they did they would claim it off the NZ Govt, but one is means tested and the other is universal.

What are the odds? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-23/climate-change-increased-australian-heatwave-january-study/106253192
The link in the ABC article doesn’t work, but I found the organisation anyway: https://www.worldweatherattribution.org/faqs/
Following an extreme weather event, people often ask: is climate change to blame?
Rapid attribution studies are carried out to give a robust, scientific answer to this question.
The results are published days or weeks after the event to inform discussions about climate change, mitigation and adaptation, while the impacts of the extreme weather event are still fresh in the minds of the public and policymakers, and decisions about rebuilding are being made.
The immediate aftermath of weather events can offer a unique window of opportunity to spark new conversations about the future, particularly for events that occur infrequently.
While climate change is worsening many extreme weather events around the world, WWA studies occasionally find that climate change did not increase the likelihood and intensity of an event.
These findings are important – they highlight places where disaster risk reduction measures should be improved to increase resilience to extreme weather, regardless of climate change. (So, the inverse being, where they attribute a problem to climate change, no need to bother about whether the emergency response was adequate and you should just make sure the Net Zero resources aren’t diverted to unnecessary spending on fire engines and the like).
70
Attribution studies are becoming increasingly sophisticated and timely. An additional 23 zettajoules of heat were absorbed by the oceans last year and this is super-charging storms as well. Some places in New Zealand broke their daily rainfall records yesterday with localised landslips causing loss of life.

Misdirection. One reason why death rates are decreasing is because storm and weather forecasting is continuing to improve and people are evacuated ahead of time.
027
The other reason is that extreme climate events are not increasing in frequency or severity.

Extreme climate events are increasing in severity for the South Pacific:

So suddenly, the South Pacific is the whole planet? Regional variation is global? Local weather events become global climate? I like that. Let’s talk about global climate and increasingly worse events. 1876 to 1879. Estimated famine mortality due to drought. India – 10.3 million according to Digby. 8.2 million according to Maharani. China – 20 million according to Brommhall. Brazil – 1.0 million according to Cunniff. 1896 to 1900. India – 19 million according to the Lancet. China – 10 million according to Cohen. Brazil – 1 million according to Smith.

Tell when we get an estimated 60 million deaths due to famine caused by drought and I might believe you that climate change is getting worse.

Simon…
‘Mount Maunganui (Mauao) has a long history of instability, primarily from landslides triggered by heavy rainfall. Mauao is a rhyolitic volcanic dome, and its slopes are composed of volcanic soils and rock that are known to be unstable. Aerial photos dating back to 1943 show a consistent pattern of landslides altering the mountain’s shape, with frequent occurrences.’
There have been 80 (eighty) landslips recorded some years. This one only made the news because even though it is clearly very small, tragically it hit a camping area etc.
160
In NZ , a lot of designated camping areas are located where nobody in their right mind would try to establish a permanent residence.
Tents can be vacated at short notice as necessary in a climate which is “irreducibly pluvial” in a land which is geologically unstable, and noted as consistently eroding.

Poor Sigh, always a day behind: my post yesterday demolished By By Kevin’s flailing, irrelevant, impossible science rantings, as does today’s (see below).
As far back as the early 1800s – when ‘carbon’ was low and the Little Ice Age was flourishing – drowning was known as the New Zealand death it was so common: tell us sumpfink new.
BTW there’s a cold wave sweeping up the country today with snow to 1,800 metres on the foothills – how’s that for zettajoules!

315
Yet “heatwaves” have been re-defined as short periods of high temperatures, when previously heatwaves were long durations of abnormally hot weather. Once you re-define say an apple to be an orange, you cannot compare apples to oranges.
120
We even have ‘low level’ heatwaves now. They are desperate.

She lies: she does not know that.
It is merely her belief.

Cold waves in America will only get worse, natural variability rules.
‘The extreme cold and icy conditions that are coming with Winter Storm Fern are being intensified by an expansion of the polar vortex.
‘That could bring heavy snow and ice to areas of the US that are not as equipped to deal with it, experts have warned.’ (BBC)

“An additional 23 zettajoules of heat were absorbed by the oceans last year and this is super-charging storms as well.”

Victoria University (Wellington, NZ) cli-sci-prof James Renwick said [bold mine]:
“The warming and sea level rise that had already occurred was locked in for centuries, but if the world could reduce net greenhouse gas emissions to near-zero, that could halt further changes […] To see a reversal back to the kind of climate we used to have … requires technology that doesn’t exist, to suck carbon out of the atmosphere”.
Climate Experts [sic] say the funniest, silliest things – they should be kept well away from the younger generation[s], ie. friends’ children have ‘studied’ under this clown and are now lost for good, doomed to a life of doom, both burning and drowning and all points in between. Sick.

James Renwick is a pragmatist and an optimist, or at least he was the last time I talked to him. His statement is absolutely correct. There is no returning to the climate of last century.
18
He is on the gravy train and for him there is no getting off.
Renwick is correct in thinking that sea level will continue to rise, but wrong when he says reducing industrial CO2 might slow the process down.
The planet is warming due to natural variables.

There is no returning to the climate of last century.
Equally I hope there is little chance of returning to the climate of that last glaciation. Pity more climate models do not consider time periods which include that.

That first video is a who’s who of Democrat heavyweights (both Clintons, Obama, Schumer) saying they would implement the EXACT SAME immigration enforcement policies as Trump. Then they did a complete 180 in 2015 because Orange Man Bad, and now it is a human rights catastrophe to do the things they endorsed just over a decade ago.

Seems encouraging people to learn to shoot guns is now like ‘Orange man bad’- not illegal but horrifies the main-stream media.
“A CSIRO PhD candidate allegedly planned to lead a riot on Australia Day with Molotov cocktails, while also encouraging people to learn to shoot guns.”
As someone said yesterday, look what happens in the countries where only the Police and military have guns.. We would be best to have every Australian a gun owner, trained and ready to defend the country, or themselves, to help the fight against feral animals or just put food on the table. Removing despotic rulers is also a plus.

‘ … best to have every Australian a gun owner, trained and ready to defend the country …’
Its the American way, pathetic. Australia has no enemies, so no need to prepare a standing militia army.

” Australia has no enemies, so no need to prepare a standing militia army.” true, true… we don’t need an army at all, we could pay for a lot of bureaurats or beneficiaries with the money we waste on our armed services.
America has never been invaded, and its also the Finnish and Swiss way, it seemed to make those countries too expensive to wage war against..

When they framed the Second Amendment they thought the Empire was about to strike back. The argument went around that anyone without a gun is a traitor.
This Exceptional Democracy is seriously flawed.
14
Surely, more guns will make it a safer place?.
11
When they realised that the Empire posed little threat they should have binned the Second Amendment.
Not doing so looks like pure folly, but they had a states rights thing going on and nobody was giving up their guns.
After the bloody civil war any rational federation would have disarmed everyone at that point, another massive fail.
My crystal ball doesn’t show a violent civil uprising without a grassroots revolutionary leader.
03
The 2nd Amendment was never about the Empire. It was about the potential for tyranny to arise at home. It was about government by and for ‘we the people’, and ‘we the people’ having the tools to bring down the government if it ever forgot that. The 2nd Amendment exists to provide ‘we the people’ with the ability to enforce the 1st Amendment (and all the others) if necessary.
Ben Franklin’s quote
wasn’t about foreign powers overthrowing the Republic. It was about the tendency of historical democracies to devolve into tyrannies of the majority, and the need for citizens to remain vigilant about their own government.
Same goes for Thomas Jefferson’s quote
40
America has never been invaded, and its also the Finnish and Swiss way, it seemed to make those countries too expensive to wage war against..

James Cook University cops backlash after setting up committee to explore how it could rename itself
Queensland’s James Cook University has been accused by the Liberal state government of stoking historical revisionism after it quietly set up a committee to map out how a future name change could be handled.
40
Well, perhaps they could rename it after the first to name it, to whit Matthews Flinders (1802).
Except perhaps there was another University so named – now absorbed into SA Uni.
Flinders named the reef as an extensive coastal reef so, in line with the current reputation for AGW etc perhaps they could call it Extensive Rewriting Uni.
30
The Uni was formed and operates under the James Cook University Act as legislated by State Parliament. Changing the name would likely require parliamentary action to change the act or more. So probably not as simple as the Uni deciding.

“The Stupidity of Davos Explained Using an Example of Their Own Creation
January 22, 2026 | Sundance | 187 Comments”
“Put this context to the recent announcement by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney about his new trade deal with China to accept 49,000 EVs this year.
Prime Minister Carney bragged about getting the Chinese to agree to only super low prices for the Canadian market. Mark Carney was very proud of his accomplishment to get much lower priced vehicles for Canadian EV purchasers. No doubt Big Panda left the room laughing as soon as Carney made his grand announcement.
1. China sells EV’s in Canada, creating credits available on the carbon exchange scheme. Europe et al will purchase the carbon credits because Bussels has fines against EU car companies.
2. With a foothold already established in Europe, China will then take the money generated by the carbon credit purchases and lower the prices of the Chinese EV cars sold in Canada.
It’s gets funnier.
3. Carney bragged about forcing China to only sell low price EV’s as part of the trade agreement. The low price of the EV’s in Canada will be subsidized by Europe. China doesn’t pay or lose a dime.
But wait….
4. Carney can’t do anything about the scheme he has just enmeshed Canada into, because Canada has a Carbon Credit exchange in law. 😂🤣😂
Big Panda wins again.”

“It’s Time to Call The Baby Ugly – Someone Needs to Tell President Donald Trump
January 22, 2026 | Sundance | 147 Comments”
“As most of you know for several years, I have been on the trail of the intelligence community role in the targeting of President Trump. Part of that research involved locating evidence to show exactly who was inside the intelligence apparatus and what they were doing.
Simultaneous to my effort, I notice there has been growing frustration over the fact that none of the participants in the “Spygate” or “Russiagate” construct have been brought to justice.
I’m going to explain as best I can why accountability is not happening, while disclosing the latest information I have to share.”

” France warns of ‘masculinist threat’ from US. More than 80% of French women have experienced sexism, and Donald Trump might be to blame, the High Council for Equality has asserted…The French government is failing to tackle masculinism, which has become the core element of the “international reactionary movement” led by the US under President Donald Trump, the High Council for Equality (HCE) has claimed.”
A survey of over 3000 Frenchmen, representing different groups within society.
“Some 23% of respondents exhibited “paternalistic” sexist views, including 27% of men and 18% of women, including such beliefs as that women should be “protected and loved” or are “naturally gentler…The HCE warned about a particularly “troubling overlap between hostile sexism and masculinist radicalization”
Of course its all the fault of Trump and the Far Right-
“Masculinism appears as a central element of an international reactionary movement, which is currently driven by the United States and represents a threat to equality and social justice,”
Fancy thinking women were different to men and should be treated accordingly. I figure averaging the results of the real French and the immigrants muddies the statistics considerably.

Sure.
It’s Trump’s fault, and not all the patriarchal fundamental Islamists they let in who believe their own women are property and western women are whores who the Koran gives them the right to enslave or use as they see fit.

Alien marriages in Thailand
Mongkolkit Suksintharanon, the prime ministerial candidate of the New Alternative Party, has boldly introduced a stunning “interplanetary marriage” policy for the upcoming Thai election on February 8. This controversial proposal allows Thai men to legally marry extraterrestrials, suggesting marriages could include partners from the Moon or Mars. The announcement has sparked widespread astonishment, with legal recognition of these unions potentially lasting two to five years.

Yesterday I came across a number of links to dramatic stories about business failures in California, but they seemed so formulaic that I dismissed them as AI generated scams.
Just now I came across this link which seems to be a genuine and valuable evaluation of the situation, examining Tesla’s move from California to Texas to explain what’s happening there. 17 mins.

“British Climate Crusade Creates Economic Disaster”
Concludes
“Apologists for this British collapse point to anything but the truth. They blame Brexit and the Russia-Ukraine war. They blame a “global recession,” pretending that the U.K.’s de-industrialization isn’t an outlier. But the fundamental reason for the collapse is the “green” agenda espoused by the political establishment for 20 years.
It has been a bipartisan failure. Tories chased the “green vote” by banning fracking and demonizing diesel. The Labour party doubled down with net-zero mandates that defy the laws of physics and economics. They built a grid fragile to the weather and expensive to the user.
A crusade to avoid an imaginary climate catastrophe of the future has created a very real economic disaster in the present.”
