Kool Aid Drinkers and Hell Raisers
James Doogue
The global media were pretty anti-Israel three years ago when I wrote this. Now we are seeing it on steroids.
I was talking to a young Muslim woman yesterday whose family has been lucky enough to escape Afghanistan. She is a Shia Muslim. But she has little idea of the politics of the Middle East. Of course she said that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. She thinks they are just indiscriminately bombing Gaza with no regard for civilian lives. She had no idea that Israel building regulations require every residence built in recent years to have a blast proof room. I asked if she knew why? She said she didn't. Then I told her that HAMAS in the south and Hezbollah in the north are continuously firing rockets and missiles at Israel without regard for civilians. I said since 7 October HAMAS have fired about 12,000 rockets into Israel and Hezbollah hundreds of missiles. She didn't believe me. When I told her Iran provided much of the funding for these terrorist organisations again, she couldn't take me seriously. This is a woman who has spent most of her childhood and much of her education in Australia, including university. She had no idea that key HAMAS leaders are billionaires living in Qatar. She didn't understand how UNWRA operates and the definition of Palestinian refugees. She had no idea that 21% of Israeli citizens are Arab, and they live in Israel voluntarily. She also tried to tell me that Islam is a religion of peace so I told her how Muhammad made a habit of cosying up to tribes until he had built his power base and then he slaughtered those who refused to convert save for the young girls and boys and women who were taken as slaves.
I asked her why she wears a hijab in a country where it's not required. She said it was her personal choice. I asked what would happen if she went home and told her father she was no longer going to wear it. She said he would be very angry. So I said I don't think she wears it out of personal choice, especially in Australia's hot summers.
Of course every problem in the Middle Eastern Countries which thrived under colonial rule, is the fault of America.
So sad to know so many are so Ill informed!

Israel Go To Great Lengths To Avoid Civilian Casualties While Hamas Kill Civilians On Both Sides
We've all seen the image of the collapsing office tower in Gaza which held media offices of Associated Press and Al Jazeera. It's been used extensively in a propoganda campaign against Israel and shamlessly carried by the mainstream media in The West.
That very same media deliberately omit the fact they knew Hamas military operated out of the building. They knew the Israeli Defence Forces use technology to message phones in the area, and call phones in the building to advise of the IDF's impending precision attack. This gives everyone in the building and surrounding it, plenty of time to get out. They then send a loud but harmless blast over the building as a final warning. Then the IDF carry out their precision attack doing what they can to avoid civilian casualties.
It's because of these warnings that there were people ready from all angles with cameras rolling when the IDF's incredibly precise attack felled the building.
Hamas, seized power in Gaza in 2006 and have not held elections for President or their legislature since. Gaza is ruled by a military dictatorship. Hamas deliberately put their civilians in harms way by placing their military in civilian locations and launching their rockets in residential areas.
Hamas have fired over 2800 rockets indiscriminately aimed at Israeli civilians in recent days. They do nothing to try to avoid civilian casualties. Indeed some 430 Hamas rockets fell on Gaza territory causing at least 20 civilian casualties, including some children. You won't hear the mainstream media report Hamas are killing their own people with their rockets. Hamas just roll the tally of dead into the number they claim are killed by Israel. https://spectator.com.au/2021/05/hamass-rockets-are-killing-palestinians-too/
Israelis must live within easy access of bomb shelters or have personal bomb shelters in their homes. All new apartments and home must have a bomb-proofed room with air filters in case of chemical attack. While Israelis build bunkers to shelter from Hamas rockets, Hamas dig tunnels into Israel to attack civilians.
The gullible or wilfully ignorant mainstream media, never ask the Palestinians to apologise for the war crime of deliberately targeting civilians. They criticise Israel despite their right to defend themselves from attack, and the great pains Israel goes to in minimising civilian casualties.
This video has more details. It's worth a watch. https://youtu.be/__Sk2_I0W70

Ireland Joins Spain and Norway in recognizing Palestine

Ireland joins Spain and Norway in Recognizing Palestine.
The Independent, Story by Grainne Ni Aodha.
Ireland's old loyalties never die from Sinn Fein, Fianna Fail and Fine Gael, once the political wing of the IRA, past allies of the PLO.
Ireland joins Spain and Norway in Recognizing Palestine.
The Independent, Story by Grainne Ni Aodha.
Ireland has announced that it recognises the state of Palestine in a
joint move with Norway and Spain. The decision is to formally take
effect on May 28. Israel recalled its ambassador in Ireland, with its
foreign affairs minister Israel Katz calling it a "distorted step”.
Israel’s embassy in Ireland said that it views Ireland’s move to recognise Palestine as "undermining its sovereignty and security” and as "damaging to our bilateral relations”.

Forests Cause Forest Fires - Who Knew?

CO2 worsens wildfires by helping plants grow | UCR News | UC Riverside
I guess the oceans are contributing to worldwide flooding too? Or the Sun to worldwide skin cancer?
How many taxpayer dollars went into this groundbreaking research?
I thought the whole point was that we wanted more forest growth and not more scrubland.

Fake Climate News
Jim Church
The Antarctic sea ice melting story is another fictional story being pushed by the press, academia and government. The latest alarmist histrionics claims that the current state of Antarctic sea ice is a "once in 7.5 billion year event". Since the earth is only 4.8 billion years old one has to wonder what this person is an 'expert' in - science fiction?????

Dr. Screw
Timothy Birdnow
Dr. Who has been going woke for a decade now and it has been going broke. here is the latest:
Queer 'Doctor Who' Actor Tells Viewers To 'Turn off the TV' If They Don't Like Him; Ratings Then Drop 50%
outkick.com
Dr. Who is one of the longest running shows in television history; it started in 1963 with just one five year hiatus in the mid-90's. When it was rebooted it was excellent; they really upped their game for the show and the writing was superb.
But it was a BBC show and it made a hard left turn. It was always kind of liberal but they began pushing anti-male stuff during the Peter Garibaldi days, and they turned the Master, one of the best villains, into a woman (totally unnecessary as they already had a great female Time Lord villain, the Rani.) The writing was on the wall.
They turned the Doctor into a woman.
Now on the show they explain different actors as The Doctor by saying Time Lords - his people - "regenerate" and become new people when they are facing death. That way they could replace the star and the show went on. But they had never did a sex change until they killed off Garibaldi and cast Jodi Wittaker.
Wittaker never was very popular because the Doctor wasn't supposed to be a woman. People refused to warm to her. That and the show became a celebration of DEI and wokeness turned off audiences. So a change was needed.
That change came with a black African immigrant who also is openly homosexual. And his sidekick? A drag queen.
The producers tried to save the show by bringing back David Tenant and Catherine Tate. Tenant was perhaps the most popular Doctor ever. Tate was very popular as his loyal sidekick Donna Noble. But the Christmas special - always the biggest show of the year, with Tate and Tenant bombed as it was full of man-hating and white-hating tripe.
So now Dr. Who may wind up getting cancelled because they refuse to stop insulting their audience.
Leftists ruin EVERYTHING!
Hat tip. Maurizio Morabitu.

Erasure
Lew Ricker
The effect means that vast amounts of news and important reference content are disappearing. Some 23 per cent of news pages include at least one broken link, and 21 per cent of government websites, it said – and 54 per cent of Wikipedia pages include a link in their references that no longer exists.
The internet is disappearing, study says
independent.co.uk
Tim adds:
It is; no question.Links I used to use when arguing - especially about climate change - are just gone and cannotbe found. Poof! Disappeared. My own articles have disappeared from the web. There is someone, some groups systematically scrubbing data from online. Just like in 1984 history is being systamatically rewritten to "reframe" the whole world.

Mad Cow Disease
"Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one...We find that whole communities suddenly fix their minds upon one object, and go mad in its pursuit; that millions of people become simultaneously impressed with one delusion, and run after it, till their attention is caught by some new folly more captivating than the first."

Just Like the Great War
Jerry S Rainforth
One view of history.
"As the lockdowns of 2020 and following consumed the globe, we all reached for historical analogies about what was happening to us. The Great War is what came to my mind. It was planned wreckage, conceived out of an optimistic desire to see how science and power can combine to force the world into a new shape. It ended in disaster for everyone.
Have you noticed how no one today is really ready or willing to defend what happened in that war? There were hearings that followed, and the war profiteers developed a bad reputation. But there never was any justice. The wreckage was never really fixed. It was the end of one world and the beginning of the new, and we’ve struggled ever since to regain what we lost.
It will be the same with our times. We are all still in shock and awe at what has happened to our societies, laws, and liberties. There is already growing regret and sadness all around, even admissions that elites went way too far. There seems to be a quiet repudiation taking place."

RFK Jr. Wants "Reparations"
Timothy Birdnow
I knew he would revert to type. He is a Kennedy and a Democrat, after all.
RFK Jr. vows to give black farmers $5 BILLION in reparations if he wins the White House and says funds are 'not money, that is entitlement' despite white counterparts labeling it racist
Tim adds:
This is pure pandering. The black community has had over sixty years of reparations, in the form of "race norming" for government jobs, in the form of affirmative action programs, in terms of AFDC and Welfare and special college funds and admissions programs. When will it be enough?
I didn''t enslave them, nor did my parents, nor grandparents. As far as I know my family never owned slaves. Why do I have to pay?
Why do the children of people who immigrated after slavery was banned have to pay?
Why do black people who immigrated after slavery was ended have to pay? Why do the children of black slaveholders get money? Or those who never were slaves?
Reparations are nothing but a massive money grab, a shakedown. If RFK doesn't know that he has no business near the Oval Office.

Biden the Thief
Timothy Birdnow
Senator Mike Lee discusses Biden's scheme to take nearly half of investments via capital gains.

Read the rest.
Senator Mike Lee discusses Biden's scheme to take nearly half of investments via capital gains.
FTA:
First, let’s dissect Biden's proposal. The increase includes a bump in the top individual income tax rate from 37% to 39.6%, combined with an expansion of the Net Investment Income Tax from 3.8% to 5%. In practical terms, long-term capital gains and qualified dividends above $1 million will be taxed at ordinary income rates, effectively raising the top federal tax rate on these earnings to 44.6%. When combined with state taxes, the total could soar to nearly 60% in high-tax states like California and New York.
This is theft.

Poisoning Our Food
Diane Kimura
Parents and grandparents
FYI….Consumer Reports released a report on phthalate contents in common food items.
-reduced testosterone and estrogen levels
-blocked thyroid hormone action
-decreased pregnancy rates
-increased miscarriage rates
-anemia
-toxemia
-pre-eclampsia
-early menopause
-abnormal sex steroid hormone levels
-reduced fertility + can affect fertility across multiple generations.
-developmental exposure to phthalates affects gene expression
-increased risk of insulin resistance and diabetes.
-elevated blood pressure
-obesity
-elevated levels of triglycerides.
This could explain the gender dysmorphia and contributing to the low birth rates in developed countries.
Tim adds:
All part of the plan to depopulate the Earth. The powers that be read and believed Paul Ehrlicht and the Club of Rome Study "limits to Growth" and have been trying to implement population control measures ever since. I think they knew all this stuff was bad but went ahead with it anyway to reduce fertility and cow the public.

Energy Absurdity
Diane Kimura
Energy Absurdity: The Massive Scale of Wind Turbine Foundations and construction are not "green.”
For today's corporate onshore wind industrial sites, this is actually a small tower, with some developments putting up dozens and dozens of towers as high 700'.
Now, think about the volume of rebar, cement and other materials that go into putting up just a single smallish tower, with the foundation buried underground to keep it out of sight of prying eyes. Does anyone in their right mind think wind developers have the slightest plans to dig all those things up and restore the land when their industrial sites finish their useful lives, unless required to do so by effective, proper regulations that do not currently exist in any state in America?
These things are supposed to have a 25-year useful life. A quarter century from now, the cost involved in taking down dozens of these towers/turbines and their enormous bird-killing blades, digging up and breaking up all those tons of reinforced cement, properly disposing of it, and remediating the land that's been destroyed will cost far more than it did to build the damn things in the first place.
If you think all the wind blade graveyards popping up all over the place today are a problem being created by this useless, needless industry, well, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Now, think about the volume of rebar, cement and other materials that go into putting up just a single smallish tower, with the foundation buried underground to keep it out of sight of prying eyes. Does anyone in their right mind think wind developers have the slightest plans to dig all those things up and restore the land when their industrial sites finish their useful lives, unless required to do so by effective, proper regulations that do not currently exist in any state in America?
These things are supposed to have a 25-year useful life. A quarter century from now, the cost involved in taking down dozens of these towers/turbines and their enormous bird-killing blades, digging up and breaking up all those tons of reinforced cement, properly disposing of it, and remediating the land that's been destroyed will cost far more than it did to build the damn things in the first place.
If you think all the wind blade graveyards popping up all over the place today are a problem being created by this useless, needless industry, well, you ain't seen nothing yet.
