The latest buzz word being pushed around by the World Economic Forum, and there is an article on their website now, introducing the term “polycrisis.” These are a series of connected and converging, alleged threats, such as climate change, biodiversity decline and species extinction. “The World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2023 uses the term, to explain how, “present and future risks can also interact with each other to form a ‘polycrisis’ – a cluster of related global risks with compounding effects, such that the overall impact exceeds the sum of each part”.

The idea of a series of interlocking crises is correct, but we would see these crises as mainly generated by the globalists, not climate change as some sort of physical process. Climate change, for example is a crisis, but primarily because of how the ruling elites use the issue as a political weapon to oppress us and eliminate God-given freedoms. So, yes, there is a perfect storm of problems, but these are globalist generated.

I almost passed by this piece at The American conservative, discussing a thought experiment proposed by the US philosopher Rort Nozick, author of the book, Anarchy, State and Utopia (1974), which I admired back in the day as a counter to the socialism of the time. Nozick advanced a strong libertarianism that saw the good society as having only a minimal state, and where people were able to freely choose their modes of living. Compared to today, this has merits. But, anyway, in that book, Nozick discussed a thought experiment where you were offered a place on a machine that would generate good, but false experiences for you, anticipating the Matrix movies. Why not surrender your freedom and do this?

Nozick gave three counters:

It is getting hard to keep track of the number of cardiologists calling for a halt to the Covid jabs, because of heart issues, let alone immune suppression and cancer. Now a world-renowned cardiologist out of Saudi Arabia, Proessor Abdullah Alabdulgader, President of the International Congress for Advanced Cardiac Sciences and founder of the Prince Sultan Cardiac Center, joins the international body of heart experts believing that the Covid-19 vaxxes must be stopped. That is good, but much damage, which is already being seen, has already been done.

Old Joe Biden is being grilled by even the mainstream media about his careless storage of classified documents in his garage. Recall, that Trump was raided by the FBI for secure storage of documents, which as president he had declassified. So, what is going on here? Is this a Deep State plan to remove Biden as president? If so, could this be used as a strategy against Trump, for if a sitting president went down for this, why should Trump be allowed to stand for election? It is impossible to say yet, but we will certainly know the dark plan of the Deep State, in due course.

Research by  Jean Claude Perez, Ph.D.,  Drs. Clair Moret-Chalmin, a neurologist from Clermont, France, and the recently deceased and famous Nobel prize winner, Luc Montagnier investigated the link between the covid-19 virus and prions, primitive disease-causing entities, more basic than viruses, and responsible for neurological diseases such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), a degenerative brain disorder that ultimately after wasting, results in death. The researchers found that there was a presence of a prion region both in the original wildtype SARS-CoV-2 strain. Professor Luc Montagnier, who did the research leading to the uncovering of the biochemistry of HIV, saw that for this reason at least, the Covid-19 virus was a lab creation.

Now communist China, always secret about everything that might be damaging to its run to world supremacy, is admitting that its population is declining. What does this mean in the longer term?  The same problem is in the West, as the younger population will not be able to support the massive aged demographic strata. This could go in various directions, including war, as argued below. But, whatever happens, the aged are going to face increased deprivation, due to resource shortages, such as medicine and health care. It is difficult to see how the mainstream economic system will deal with this. Hence, another argument for Douglas social credit.

The world elites, minus Bill Gates, George Soros, and a few others, are not at Davos, but B-level globalists are there. And, after a hard day of globalising, thinking up ways of destroying our world, how do these critters unwind? Why, by sex workers. So much for being woke!

Senior Russian officials, including Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, have said tht the Ukraine is acting as a proxy for NATO. While the Western elites have played the ideological game of denying this, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov let the cat out of the bag: “At the NATO Summit in Madrid” in June 2022, “it was clearly delineated that over the coming decade, the main threat to the alliance would be the Russian Federation. Today Ukraine is eliminating this threat. We are carrying out NATO’s mission today. They aren’t shedding their blood. We’re shedding ours. That’s why they’re required to supply us with weapons.” That sets the stage for the war being an existential issue for both NATO and Russia. It makes the stakes as high as they could be, with Russia likely to use nuclear weapons as a last resort.

New research published in the peer-reviewed journal Circulation, found that in a study adolescents and young adults who got “vaccinated” for Covid had “markedly elevated levels of full-length spike protein” in their blood that was “unbounded by antibodies.” By contrast, the control group of the unvaxxed did not have these free-floating spike proteins. It is thought that the presence of these free-floating mRNA spike proteins, which should not be occurring if the mainstream Covid vax narrative was correct, is responsible for the rapid rise in heart issues among the young. All this is quite contrary to the mainstream Covid vax narrative.

This is worth hearing, via the link in the article below, as UK comedian Konstantin Kisin argues with the woke climate change activists. He adopts their position, argumentum ad hominem, to show that things like tipping paint over paintings, is just plain silly. The UK, if it sunk into the sea would  reduce global Carbon dioxide emissions by only two percent. Instead, China and the developing world want growth, and growth means more CO₂ and will not change from this, given any so-called climate crisis. Even if here was a climate threat, it would not matter one jot. So as to not leave the audience anxious, the solution is technology to save the world. What the comedian should have done, in conclusion was to reject the core assumptions of a climate crisis.

Biden, or the globalist monsters that control him, has signed the Declaration of North America (DNA), which eliminates American sovereignty, to create an open borders version of the EU with South America. This should be covered by the media, but of course it is not, since the media is globalist controlled, and no opposition to the Grand Agenda must be permitted. So, to bring everyone up to speed, here is information from the White House, and a critique from The Prepared Homestead.com. There is everything there, from open borders, to the gender agenda, to pandemic lockdowns. One wonders what it will take for the sheeple to awaken, as day-by-day, freedoms are being destroyed.

While Europe is being subjected o the insane resource and energy restrictions arising not only from the Ukraine War, but also climate change hysteria, or rather the climate change conspiracy, a scientific study published in the peer-reviewed journal Climate and Atmospheric Science has predicted that Europe will not be warming for 15 to 20 years, but rather, the temperature will become colder. Of course, this is completely contrary to the standard climate change narrative which is, according to the UN, that there remains only nine years to save the planet from runway climate change. That can hardly be so, thus, the UN position is only a political agenda, to deindustrialise the West. As communist China is given a free pass for “carbon pollution” and now produces more carbon dioxide than he entire West put together, the entire climate change narrative must be seen as an anti-West scam, to deliver to communist China, mastery of the world.

My wife wrote previously about the coming bans on gas stoves, which will be a disaster for restaurant across America, if widely adopted, beyond crazy California. She mentioned in passing that this is the sort of idea embraced by the World Economic Forum. Mike Adams has done some research on this, and also concludes that all of this come straight from the World Economic Forum play book, which explicitly went after gas. We need to watch closely what this globalist organisation comes up with this year, as it soon finds its way into policies.

What we are experiencing now in America is very much a trial run for what will be done throughout the West, including Australia, so our suffering is relevant to you. And, the whole place seems to be falling apart. There is the coming ban on gas stoves, covered elsewhere, but it is really the tip of the flame, with even normal-capacity flush toilets being regulated, in the name of water conservation. And, these things do not flush properly, so in the end, two or more flushes are needed leading to even more water being used. It sounds a small thing, but it is a symbol of the growing restrictions upon things that never should be restricted in any sane society. The reason is that society, under Leftist globalism, has been insane for some time, and the social mental illness gets worse by the day, as the lunatics who control the asylum now, have all of our money, and plenty of time on their hands to dream up all matter of evil.

Another great deconstruction of the academic Left has been given by Dr Edward Dutton, exposing the lies, the falsehoods of Leftist research. He points out that fraud is quite common in soft disciplines like psychology, and almost always, the corrupt papers are by Leftist academic, eager to quickly climb the slimy pole of academia via a production-line of publications. This comes from studies showing that leftist have a greater propensity to lie, since their personalities are narcissistic   and opportunistic, and will do what is necessary to secure what they want. While I agree with these observations of Dr Dutton, I do not see this as necessarily leading to the doom of the universities, since the universities seem to be infinitely corruptible and thus well able to accommodate evil that would crush most conservatives. It is simply water off a duck’s back.

I saw this article dealing with social critic Wendell Berry, but I can’t really comment as I have not read any of his recent books, and have only vague recollections of A Place on Earth (1967). Still, it is interesting.  But, I liked the comments on Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), that attributes many problems to the lack of ability of people to be at peace, as exemplified by sitting quietly in their room. There is much here. Pascal even then say that the reason for this irritability was the poverty of morality that engulfs many people, and certainly today. It is seen in social media which Pascal, a deeply religious Christian, would see as the tool of the devil.  

People today at the blog are discussing interrelated issues of immigration and the climate change agenda, but this one brings them together in one happy bundle. Ireland is now preparing for a flood of migrants fleeing climate change. And, what exactly is this climate change? The government does not define it, but it really does not matter much, as any one non-white gets in the door. It will be too bad if this mythical climate change hits places like Ireland, and people try to get asylum in the Third World. I am sure everyone will get a “warm” welcome!

Yes, recent illegals, sorry, poor disadvantaged migrants, who are being housed in swanky hotels, have been enriching New York with renovations, and culture exchanges on the stairs. Of course, these will be Democrat voters, so everything they do is swell for the Left.

The gas stove banning issue has been mentioned at the blog, by I think James reed yesterday, but here is a take from an American mom, who cooks with gas, and has worked in the Florida hospitality industry. The issue of gas stoves causing asthma has been debunked, but of course, the climate change issues always looms large. And once again, the idea of going after gas is a brain child of the World Economic Forum, who are now conducting a war upon fossil fuels. My view is that climate change is only a front here, as the World Economic forum has nothing but praise for communist China, whose carbon emissions are now greater than the West. I think the gas stove issue is a softening up for even worse things to come.

There is little critical material in the Australian scene dealing with the universities, at least from our foundational position. What mainstream material there is deals with issues like pay and conditions, but never with the existential issue of the survive of these institutions, and whether they should survive. By contrast we find more probing material in America, such as a recent Counter-Currents.com piece that uses the metaphor of a fish rotting from the head down to describe the state of the universities in the US, but Australia and the rest of the West follows. In a nutshell: “Primus inter pares would have to be the universities. Think about it: The American university is where, under the watch of craven administrators, the credentialed grievance-mongers and puffed-up moralists assemble and fine-tune the metapolitical machinery. It is a bedlam of “safe spaces,” pronoun options, and psychotic weirdos  elevated as savants. It is where the noxious vocabularies that carry raging pestilences such as “critical race theory,” “transgenderism,” “diversity-inclusion-equity” (DIE), “systemic racism,” “cultural appropriation,” et al. are conjured up and customized at the universities before being carried off to infect the outside world. To experience close-up the fumes of the fish’s rotting head, the best placed to be now is at a university; universities are the fons et origio of much of our current misery.” And, it has been so for some time, at least since the 1960s, with the universities producing all the woke material that now fills the public agenda. It forms the thought patterns that young lawyers, who will be judges are subjected too. And, that is the future. So, you can see my concern with the universities.
