It's hard to argue with Neil, so I won't.

Yes, we've heard it all before, but this is as close to throwing his toys out of the pram that I have seen our normally serene and civilised Neil approach.

"The legal definition of genocide is the committing of acts with the intention to destroy a people"

But is Ed Miliband stupid? (Is he even real?)

See what you think.

Wireless Radiation - Still Unhealthy?

Details: Category: 5G & EMFs; Published: 30 October 2024; Hits: 916

It seems an age since Tom Wheeler (then FCC chairman) pledged to bypass all safety concerns and roll-out 5G to the USA and the world (in the process making a ton of profit for the US telecoms industry).

" ... Rule nbr 1: the technology should drive the policy rather than the policy should drive the technology ... "

" ... if the Commission approves my proposal next month, the United States will be the first country in the world to open up high-band spectrum for 5G networks and applications - and that's damn important because ... US Companies will be the first out of the gate"

"Unlike some countries, we do not believe that we should spend the next couple of years studying what 5G should be, or how it should operate ... turning innovators loose is far preferable to expecting committees and regulators to define the future ... "

"To make this work, the 5G infrastructure ... will require massive deployment of small cells ... "

Full 2016 speech:

(60 minutes)

He acknowledges 5G to be a vastly different proposition from the original 1G/2G/3G cell-phone bands, yet ignores any implications for human health.

Still today, those who believe that wireless technology is inherently dangerous are routinely ignored, and the safety guidelines are still based upon the original safety tests that were based upon the heating effect of 1G/2G/3G technology.

Wi-Fi connected phones and laptop computers are now ubiquitous, along with a precipitous decline in the birth rate (which may be due to a combination of factors, but a child or adult sitting with a laptop on their knees in close proximity to their reproductive organs is assuredly unlikely to be helpful).

"Up to $41 billion in World Bank climate finance ... is unaccounted for"

One might believe that the World Bank would have enough bean counters to keep track of its expenditures ...

... but maybe one might be wrong about the involvement of bean-counters.

Given that climate finance has been a largely political hot potato seemingly since time immemorial, perhaps after all it's no surprise that politicians have taken their eye off the ball, but is the World Bank controlled by politicians or by bankers?

Bankers one might suppose to be well-versed in the ways of auditing, so it's a bit of a surprise to note this Oxfam report that uncovers such a gaping hole in the World Bank's climate disbursements.

(But are Oxfam not supposed to be countering famine rather than counting expenditure designed to reduce CO₂ emissions? Are they yet another outfit that has been somehow distracted from their founding purpose?).

Clearly there is something rotten in the state of global financial management if this ginormous pet project of the world climate disaster fantasists has such a vast black hole in its expenditure tracking systems. Perhaps all that cash was incinerated by the runaway heating so long and fervently expected? Oh wait, that hasn't actually arrived yet.

"The issue of climate finance will take center stage at this year’s COP in Azerbaijan"

"Climate activists are demanding the Global North provide at least $5 trillion a year in public finance to the Global South 'as a down payment towards their climate debt' ... "

"Oxfam warns that the lack of traceable spending could undermine trust in global climate finance efforts at this critical juncture"

Not to mention that all the flim-flam of the last 50 critical years has reduced the climate overheating scare by ... nothing at all, so why should we trust any of it?

Stand by for the relentless search for the guilty, the punishment of the innocent, and the heaping of praise and honours on the non-participants ... possibly accompanied by the announcement of the no-stones-unturned investigations, the reporting of the irrelevant distractions & deflections, the cover-ups of the factual evidence, and the fingering of the political enemies.

Twas ever thus.

The Ultimate 'Down the Rabbit Hole'?

Details: Category: Free Citizen; Published: 27 October 2024; Hits: 766

2024-10-27

Before we begin, I offer the standard "Down the Rabbit Hole" introductory advice for those unfamiliar:

I strongly suggest that those new to my site should review the earlier Down the Rabbit Hole series, starting with 1 2 3 and 4.

That said, let's dive in.

I hesitate to claim that this really is the "ultimate" in Rabbit Holes, but I don't know of, nor can I at present imagine, a deeper one - nevertheless I'm learning all the time!

"Only through arrogance and ignorance man believes that he is alone in the cosmos"

That's no more than logical, given the observable size of the universe, even viewed from my back garden ...

Does the article reveal the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?

I don't know, but at least it seems to make some sort of sense, even when considered against the decidedly incomplete but nevertheless compelling evidence of previous civilisations on our planet.

Does it conflict with the Bible?

Well, decidedly yes and no. Interpretation is all, and the makers of mischief have (in my jaundiced but practical view) had ample opportunity to mess with Biblical texts before they presented them to us. Once again, it's up to us to form our own views. We don't get to have salvation served to us on a plate with all the trimmings, and anyway, there are many ancient texts of which "the Bible" in all its many and various publications is but one group of renderings - it is not a perfect "ready meal".

Does this article portray the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

Again, I don't know, but if you believe that we are all independent free spirits, then maybe it offers a pathway that may ultimately lead us thereunto.

It seems to me that we as individuals will make little headway unless we begin from a viewpoint that excludes all preconditions. We are a blank slate upon which we must construct our own theory of everything (ie: inclusive of both material and spiritual), even if we have to wipe that slate clean before we start; this article may assist or it may not - that is for each of us to explore.

Your "starter for ten" is here. And just to demonstrate that the future is not pre-ordained, it was dated 2008 and the various predictions have obviously not yet (quite?) come to pass, so think on.

By the way, "Deep Dive" may be to understate the position ... you may need several sessions ... or a lifetime ... or several ...

But don't let that put you off.

The prerequisite for success seems to be our attitude, and fundamentally, that is perhaps reasonably simple - be non-judgemental, be loving and generous, and understand that the game of life is simply a huge learning opportunity!

But what do I know?!

A Short Historical Perspective on "They" - Matt Ehret

2024-10-26

Matt Ehret, Canadian, historian, and all-round deep mine of all things historical, tells Dell Bigtree from whence he believes "they" (that rule the world) came, how they developed, and how they brought us in the western world, and in particular (but by no means only) America, to our current state of global crisis.

If we would improve the world, we really need to get some understanding of the course of the last 500 years. This is a conflict that has been brewing for a long time.
