Argentina’s First Budget Surplus in 123 Years –
“Argentina has posted its first budget surplus in 123 after President Javir Milei took office and demanded an abrupt halt to government spending. Governments worldwide should carefully take note.
Milei proudly announced:
“The deficit was the root of all our evils — without it, there’s no debt, no emission, no inflation. Today, we have a sustained fiscal surplus, free of default, for the first time in 123 years. This historic achievement came from the greatest adjustment in history and reducing monetary emission to zero. A year ago, a degenerate printed 13% of GDP to win an election, fueling inflation. Today, monetary emission is a thing of the past.”
Economic emissions should become a coined phrase as it is far more harmful than anything government is currently trying.”

And they are going to go Nuclear. Australia, please note.

In the USA, the dying Biden administration is doing what it can to set the all-time record for “economic emissions”. Shock and awe come to mind.

‘Upgrade Albo’ is doing it here as well promising everything in pre Election mode. And all we will get is blackouts.

Other countries such as USA under TRUMP and Argentina under Milei are starting to “get it” and are or will soon advance but Australia is fanatically committed to regression in almost every way. The country is being deliberately destroyed. We have no TRUMP or anyone remotely like him, or even Milei. There is little hope for Australia’s future.

I’ve just seen the latest Johannes Leak cartoon in The Australian. It’s totally brilliant and utterly hilarious. I’m sorry, can’t link on here. Maybe some cleverer person can.

Every few days there’s an announcement of some new virus or some new risk from an existing virus.
It’s all part of the plan to keep Joe and Joanne Sixpack in a constant state of terror. And, of course, provide an excuse to require the next round of compulsory, expensive and useless mRNA “vaccinations” and further removal of human rights, at least in the more fanatically woke UN/WEF obedient countries like Australia.

Once Great Britain is becoming everything Orwell warned about in Nineteen Eighty Four.
In the following video, Simon Webb discusses how only those with approved political views can be employed by the UK Government.
Of course, in the example discussed “extreme right wing” (according to the Left) simply means anyone slightly to the right of Pol Pot.

This is not a bad effort by this African guy who built his own car from scrap.
https://youtu.be/_LV-xwHCrg8
And on the subject of African cars, Africa is trying to build its own EV.
https://youtu.be/RigENdB0uH0
Don’t laugh. Africa is trying to build a car industry but Australia shut theirs down, mostly due to expensive “green” energy and feral unions. Do you feel left behind yet?

Now taken bets on whether Australia’s BoM (official Government meterological propaganda organisation whose weather prediction can no longer be trusted) will declare 2024 the “hottest eeevveerrr”, as we freeze here in Melbournistan.

Oz lurches forward with more renewables:
https://renews.biz/97610/australia-selects-first-tender-projects/
The whole article is crap. An example: “The Capacity Investment Scheme aims to ensure enough new affordable and reliable electricity will be brought into the grid to meet demand between now and 2030.”
Affordable and reliable! That should rule out renewables.
