    Moment Australian official performs acknowledgement of country in AZERBAIJAN during climate change conference: ‘Farce’

    A year on from the failed Voice referendum, the value of acknowledgement of country ceremonies are again being widely debated in Australia.

    But no one expected to have such a ceremony performed by an Australian government delegation in Azerbaijan, 13,230km from Sydney, which has been dubbed ‘a complete farce’.

    Most Australians probably couldn’t find Azerbaijan on a map – it’s a former Soviet republic, partly in Asia and partly in Europe – but that didn’t stop delegate Dr Clare Anderson from performing an acknowledgement of country there to a near empty-room.

    Speaking at the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference in the oil and gas rich country, she first welcomed the delegates ‘to the opening panel session of the Australian Pavilion’.

    ‘My name is Clare Anderson and I’m the group director of sustainability performance at (sustainability solutions company) Worley. I’m very delighted to be here today,’ she began.

    But from there, it must have been very confusing for the audience as Dr Anderson launched into an acknowledgement to country.

    ‘To start – whilst we’re not on Australian land – I’d still like to start with acknowledging the traditional owners of Australia and the Torres Strait Islands and pay my respects to their elders, past, present and emerging,’ she said.

    If those hearing the words in Azerbaijan’s capital Baku were baffling, many of those watching the conference online back in Australia where they might actually mean something, were outraged and baffled.

    They’re Coming for Your Privacy—and They’re Doing It Fast

    Nation First analyses the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024 and finds it to be a tool for undermining your privacy.

    From George Christensen of Nation First
    Nov 21

    “We all know social media can be dangerous for kids. It’s a world filled with predators, bullies, and content that can mess with their minds and emotions. Parents are right to demand action. You and I both know something needs to change.

    But the Australian Government’s “solution” to this problem isn’t the way. That “solution”—the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024—is a rushed, reckless piece of legislation that puts your privacy—and the privacy of every Australian—at serious risk. This isn’t just about kids anymore. It’s about you, me, and the government sticking its nose into every part of our online lives.”

    “Have you heard about how fast they’re moving on this? The government is ramming the Bill through Parliament. They’ve given Australians less than 24 hours to make public submissions to an also rushed Senate inquiry—barely enough time to read the thing, let alone understand it. Why the rush? What are they trying to hide?”

      And there goes the Future Fund………………………..

      https://www.futurefund.gov.au/

      If the Feral Guv’ment wants to have Funds that they wish to invest in Renewables, Housing and Infrastructure then it should have already done this as part of the Annual Feral Budget. But, Oh NO. Let’s get the main Future Fund, that is now around $300 Billion, to adjust it’s Investment Mandate to include these. three areas.

      However, If the projected investment returns and investment risk do not add up, then the Future Fund should not go there. Just keep on doing what you have been doing. And please keep up the Good Work. IMHO.

        Labor will promise that this redirection of fund investments will maintain or even increase returns. Of course every sane person with both eyes open will know this to be a lie, but they don’t care, because for Labor, there are NEVER consequences.

        ? What good work???

        I am all for the return of the funds appropriated from the proceeds of the sale of Telstra. Funds that were taken to provision for the unfunded superannuation of Federal government. The provision for super should have been from actual budgeted wages and salaries of the bureaucrats and politicians at the time and not taken from the sale of the family silver. The whole fund should be tipped into paying off national debt or as this Government is being forced to do pay for the crazy green schemes. The condition would be that the super fund will return to ‘contributors’ the fruits of its investments. They can experience what family primary producers, small to medium businesses and their employees have experienced over the last 40 years of a managed decline of all that was recovered from the sacrifice of two world wars, a decline into the mess of socialist idealism and its natural progression to a cosy arrangement between big government and big government, ‘Fascism’. The productive classes have had their wealth and that of their future generations destroyed by the ‘swamp’ so their should be little concern for the same being visited on the swamp dwellers when the windfall from a fund managing the research of ‘clot shots’ is frittered away on failed technologies.

        Australia Invests in mRNA Vaccines
        The Australian Government’s Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) has invested in various initiatives to support the development and manufacturing of mRNA vaccines. Here are some key examples:

        Grant Opportunity for mRNA Clinical Trials: In 2022, the MRFF announced a grant opportunity to support clinical trials of mRNA-based vaccines and therapeutics. Up to $25 million was allocated over three years, with $15 million available in 2022-23.
        mRNA Manufacturing Facility: The Australian Government invested $25 million in a new mRNA manufacturing facility in Victoria, which will produce respiratory vaccines for potential future pandemics and seasonal health issues. The facility will also play a leading role in medical research.
        BioCina’s mRNA Centre of Excellence: The MRFF granted $5 million to BioCina, a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), to establish an mRNA Centre of Excellence in South Australia. This project aims to develop enabling technologies for the manufacture of precision mRNA vaccines and will be matched by the South Australian Government.
        Victorian mRNA Innovation Hub: The Victorian Government invested $5.4 million through the mRNA Victoria Activation Program (mAP) to establish the Victorian mRNA Innovation Hub (VMIH). This hub will bring together mRNA experts from various institutions to develop next-generation mRNA vaccines and therapeutics, and will support up-and-coming researchers.

        Rachel Reeves, UK HM Chancellor of the Exchequer [Finance bod], who was a bank teller or similar, it seems, is umm, looking at, and encouraging, a similar move by UK local authority pension funds.
        I’m no expert.
        But if the larger funds are to ‘invest’ in ‘uninvestable’ “opportunities” – then a Whole Host of folk will lose their pension.

        My view.

        Obviously Sir Starmer can’t lose his Chancellor, His TDS Foreign Secretary, and his Mad – could he be actually treasonous?? – Energy and Nut Zero Geezer [Mr Miliband, in case you missed him!] in a few months – or at least, not without criticism [he doesn’t do criticism] – or, perhaps, an ‘Et tu, Brute’ scenario, since they are HIS appointments.

        Perhaps led by The Angela of the North.

        We’ll see. Angela is more likely to be the dagger-wielder than the beneficiary.
        Reference the late [yesterday] Lord [John ] Prescott.
        A class warrior of the left, but also a great friend of Merchant seamen – in the UK and globally.

        Never likely to be leader, he supported Tony B.Liar and helped set up the inquiry into the loss of the M.V. ‘Derbyshire’.
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Derbyshire

        A salutary reminder to all those at sea when she was lost – with all 44 souls on board – that the sea is not to be trifled with.
        Shall we say.

        Even in a large and well-found ship.

      This would be a very bad move for Australia.

      You work for the government and your retirement income depends on sustaining theft from electricity consumers too poor to make their own. Who thinks the mandated theft will end?

      If you do not have a plan for making your own electricity then you need to get to it.

    Is The Deep State Pushing Nuclear War To Prevent A Trump Presidency?

    Lobbing a few NATO-manufacture long-range missiles into Russia is unlikely to make any tactical or strategic difference in the war, not when Russia controls much of the Russian-speaking areas of Ukraine, including the Crimea as well as Donetsk and Luhansk provinces in eastern Ukraine.

    As I wrote in a previous essay, the Biden decision is best explained by what appears to be a preemptive military coup in which U.S. generals fearing prison terms and possible convictions for treason prefer the risk of triggering a global thermonuclear war rather than allowing Donald Trump to take office on January 20, 2024.

    The Deep State initially had available only three strategies to keep Trump from returning to the White House. All three have failed, requiring a more extreme strategy—nuclear war.

    [snip]

    Even a limited Russian nuclear response would hamper Trump’s ability to end the war in Ukraine quickly after his inauguration. Should a Russian nuclear response lead to a global thermonuclear war, the World Economic Forum’s depopulation goals would only be achieved much sooner than anticipated.

      Obama’s Ukraine Cover Up

      Last week we wrote about the central role Obama played in establishing the Russiagate Hoax. This week we’re going to take a closer look at why Obama was so involved. What drove him to push a hoax that had been ostensibly put into place by the Clinton campaign?

      Many are aware of Biden’s entanglements in Ukraine but most are unaware of Obama’s implicit involvement.

      For some time now it’s been our working theory that Russiagate originated, at least in part, as the result of what Joe Biden was doing in Ukraine – and as a result of Obama’s knowledge of Biden’s actions.

      Recall that Biden’s involvement in Ukraine traces back to at least early 2014 when he was pulled into the U.S. overthrow of Ukraine’s democratically-held elections by Victoria Nuland, the assistant secretary for European and Eurasian affairs in the Obama State Department.

      In November 2013, Ukraine’s president Yanukovych turned down a U.S.-backed trade deal with the European Union in favor of an emergency bailout from Russia, a decision which was understandable from Ukraine’s perspective but one which Nuland and her state department colleagues found deeply upsetting.

      When the European Union pursued a diplomatic route at resolving the impasse by proposing a power sharing agreement, Nuland was quick to veto the idea, telling Pyatt in a leaked phone call, “(expletive) the EU.” During that same call, Nuland discussed her plans for the ouster of Yanukovych and the installation of opposition leader Arseniy Yatsenyuk as prime minister.

      Towards the end of their conversation, Nuland noted that Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan had informed her that “you need Biden,” and she concluded by telling Pyatt that “Biden’s willing.”

      Biden was effectively appointed as the Obama administration’s point man on Ukraine in February 2014. On Feb. 22, 2014, just as Nuland had planned, Yanukovych was removed as president of Ukraine and, three days later, Yatsenyuk, the candidate favored by Nuland, was installed as prime minister.

      In other words, the U.S. government had effectively enabled a coup that ousted a democratically elected leader and replaced him with their own candidate.

        A correct view of the situation with US meddling in eastern Europe. Unfortunately there is a uniform denigration of Russia in the West through the political and media milieu. Any dissent from the line that Russia unlawfully and unprovoked invaded Ukraine will not be tolerated. Any objective analysis would conclude that Russia is well within their rights to preserve their national security. A NATO fleet in Sevastopol?

      The US Approves Long-Range Missile Strikes on Russia

      Crossing the Line Between Proxy War & Direct War

      Glenn Diesen

      The discussions about authorising long-range missile strikes on Russia are profoundly dishonest and misleading.

      The political-media elites present deeply flawed arguments to support the conclusion that attacking Russia with long-range missiles does not cross the line between proxy war and direct war.

      NATO may be successful in deluding itself, yet for Russia there is no doubt that this is an act of war.

      3) The missiles can turn the tide of the war

      The war has already been lost, and Washington previously admitted that these long-range missiles would not be a game changer. There are two reasons for escalating the war at this point, to further bleed Russia and to sabotage Trump’s objective to end the war.

      The timing of Washington’s decision is also suspicious and appears to aim at sabotaging Trump’s massive mandate to end the proxy war.

      By comparison, Obama similarly threw a wrench into US-Russia relations in late 2016 as he was handing the White House over to Trump.

      The anti-Russian sanctions and expulsion of Russian diplomats were intended to sabotage Trump’s promise to get along with Russia. Biden appears to follow the same playbook by risking a Third World War to prevent peace from breaking out in Ukraine.

      Biden was too cognitively impaired to run for re-election, yet he is supposedly mentally fit to attack Russia as he prepares to leave the White House.

          Russia has fired its new ‘Oreshnik’ hypersonic ballistic missile – Putin

          The strike was launched in response to Kiev’s use of Western-made long-range missiles, the president has said

          The Russian military has launched a state-of-the-art intermediate-range ballistic missile against a Ukrainian target, President Vladimir Putin said in a public address on Thursday.

          As part of what the president called a “combat test,” the hypersonic missile, dubbed ‘Oreshnik’ (‘Hazel’), successfully struck a military industrial facility in the Ukrainian city of Dnepropetrovsk (known as Dnipro in Ukraine), Putin added.

          The strike was a response to Ukrainian attacks on military facilities located on internationally recognized Russian territory, the president stated. Kiev’s forces launched the strikes on Tuesday and Thursday, using US-made ATACMS and HIMARS systems as well as British-made Storm Shadow missiles, he said.

          The president also vowed to publicly announce any future strikes against the Ukrainian targets involving the ‘Oreshnik’ system “for humanitarian reasons” to let civilians leave a potentially dangerous zone. The announcements would not affect the effectiveness of the strikes, he added. A ballistic missile travelling at between 2.5 and 3 kilometers per second, or 10 times faster than the speed of sound, cannot be countered with any existing air defense systems, Putin said.

            Russia Notifies US Before Test Fire

            According to multiple sources, Russia informed the United States of an incoming ballistic missile strike on Ukraine shortly before the attack on November 21, 2024.

            A US administration official confirmed that the US was “pre-notified briefly before the launch” and that the US also briefed Ukraine and other allies in the days leading up to the attack about Russia’s possible use of an experimental medium-range ballistic missile.

            Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov later stated that Russia had no obligation to notify the US about intermediate-range missiles, as there is no such agreement in place.

            However, the US official emphasized that Russia and the US typically inform each other if they plan to launch ballistic missiles.

            In a televised address, Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed that Russia used a new intermediate-range ballistic missile, dubbed “Oreshnik”, in the attack on Dnipro, Ukraine. Putin described the test as “successful” and stated that the missile was equipped with non-nuclear hypersonic equipment.

            It is worth noting that Ukraine initially accused Russia of launching an intercontinental ballistic missile, but Western officials disputed this claim, suggesting that an intermediate-range missile was used instead. The exact type of missile remains unclear, and experts are still analyzing the details of the attack.

            In summary, Russia did notify Washington before firing the ballistic missile, albeit with some ambiguity surrounding the scope of the notification and the type of missile used.

    One of the most infamous days in modern history took place 61 years ago this Friday.

    “On 22 November 1963, two bullets hit US President John F Kennedy in the head and throat. He died 35 minutes later. The prime suspect was 24-year-old Lee Harvey Oswald, who was arrested within hours of the shooting but was murdered two days later. Speculation over Kennedy’s death began almost immediately after the gunshots rang out – and it hasn’t stopped since. That said, there is one thing most people are certain of: where they were when they first heard the shocking news.”

    President Elect Donald Trump had better watch out. I hope that he has the best security in the World. His own.

      That said, there is one thing most people are certain of: where they were when they first heard the shocking news.”

      As the news rolled across the World as it happened, there I was as a twelve year old on that SATURDAY morning, at the Queens Park Tennis complex in Southport Queensland, on the centre court with my Doubles partner Lenore Stewart, along with forty other Junior Tennis players playing for our team in Junior Club Tennis. Mr Flaxman, the Junior Tennis Coach walked from his small office atop the grandstand adjoining that centre court and in a loud voice told all of us all within earshot to stop playing. We did just that, and turned and looked up at him. In a solemn voice, he told us that President Kennedy had just been a$$a$$in@ted.

      As 12 year old children, all of us were just so totally shocked, and as we looked at each other in our grief, we all asked ….. Who’s President Kennedy?

      Every time I tell that story, it gets me into trouble. People call me out for that mendacity, full in the knowledge that it happened mid afternoon on the FRIDAY.

      Then I have to carefully explain to them the time difference between Dallas Texas and Southport Queensland.

    “Safety Last”

    “Maybe further investigation will be forthcoming, but I’m not holding my breath.”

    Researchers from The Netherlands analysed data from 47 Western countries and discovered there had been more than three million excess deaths since 2020, with the trend continuing despite the rollout of vaccines and containment measures.

    They said the “unprecedented” figures “raised serious concerns” and called on governments to fully investigate the underlying causes, including possible vaccine harms.

    Here’s the latest talk by Dr John Christy and he proves through data that we don’t have a climate crisis, just more of the same compared to a 100 or more years ago.
    And places like Alabama show some cooling. UAH is still the best satellite data and even NOAA shows about the same in their latest measurements.
    RSS is just an outlier because they use poor/old satellite data.
    John uses many graphs to prove his case and their combined studies now show about 1.6 c to 1.8 c for a doubling of co2. Thats about 560 ppm and much later in the century.
    This 50 minute talk finishes in Oct 2024 and covers a lot and Tom Nelson’s Q & A with John at the end is also very interesting.
    Again it’s wonderful to listen to sane scientists who rely on observations and data.

    What have my old regulators been up to since they banned me from working for refusing the not-a-vaccine? The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency have been hard at work encouraging complaints, just have a scroll down
    Some of the best quotes from within various sections –

    This is the first time the number of registered practitioners has exceeded 900,000, and 96.9 per cent of these practitioners hold practising registration.

    so, 27,900 are doing what?

    Ahpra continues to work hard to get more international practitioners registered faster and safely by implementing changes in response to the Kruk review. Improvements to Ahpra’s registration processes have almost halved the time to finalise international applications, cutting the previous 60-day average to just 33 days.

    Ensuring we don’t get anyone with dubious qualifications. Like this chap

    Yay, let’s ban GPs for telling the truth I like this line –

    The GP also made comments about Ahpra, including “Ahpra is a Gestapo”.

    Gestapo leader stepping down –

    Ahpra CEO Martin Fletcher, who has announced his intention to step down after 15 years leading the national health regulator, praised staff and members of the National Boards for their continued efforts to keep Australia’s healthcare system safe.

    Having implemented the NWO agenda.

    The last time I was allowed to work I shared an office with 4 uni graduates who were learning that, in the real world, real people don’t do what’s in the best interests of their health. It’s a rude awakening for graduates who seem to apply for promotion to non-clinical positions at the first opportunity.

    I’ll just look at one statement he made about how many Nuclear plants would have to be built to replace FFs by 2050.
    His answer is starting now one new nuclear power plant DER DAY has to be built by 2050 and FFs would also have to be retired at the same rate around the world.
    Does anyone think this is remotely possible and at what cost?
    See from about 6.45 mins on the Liberty video.
    Yet we have lefty loonies in Australia who BELIEVE that we can replace FFs with their unreliable toxic W & S fantasies.

    Upon entering, the visitor is greeted by AI Jesus reciting the message: “Do not disclose personal information under any circumstances, use this service at your own risk, press the button if you accept.”

    AI Jesus even has the ability to speak a whopping 100 languages to accommodate Lucerne’s tourists.

    And it was recorded that at least two-thirds of people who spoke to AI Jesus came out of the bizarre confessional having had a “spiritual” experience.

    The invisible sky creature has gone digital now.
    Will believers have to pay in Bitcoin to go to digital heaven?
    Oh, the nonsense some believe in.

    “It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion,
    however satisfying & reassuring.”
    – Carl Sagan

    It baffles me why an omnipotent creator would create an entire galaxy for his chosen children to inhabit only 0.000000000000000000015% of it’s area, for only 0.00004% of it’s history…

    RFK Jr Vows To Overhaul ‘Dangerous’ 5G Regulations Citing ‘Serious Health Risks’

    Citing a wealth of scientific studies and his own legal victories, Kennedy argues that the unchecked expansion of 5G technology poses significant public health risks, including the disruption of the blood-brain barrier and an alarming rise in glioblastomas and other cancers.

    “My concern about 5G is that the RF radiation from 5G is dangerous,” explained RFK. “It disrupts the blood-brain barrier and is associated with glioblastomas and other cancers. It also causes a host of other significant health effects.

    “There are literally thousands of studies supporting this. I’ve litigated this issue and won in the federal court of appeals. So, you can call it a conspiracy theory, but the federal court of appeals [disagrees].”

    Kennedy explained he was called a “conspiracy theorist” when he went after Monsanto until he won the case and the mainstream media had to admit he was right.

    Something different to think about.
    Robert Wadlow was the tallest man in history and was nearly 9 foot tall before he died.
    That gland in the brain can be operated on today but not 80 years ago.
