Of late, we seem to be living in a world of superlatives.
Unprecedented this, disastrous that, once in a lifetime events and the beginning of the new " normal. "
We are being brainwashed into thinking that the end of the world is nigh, unless we freeze to death and give all our money and our land to the climate gods.
It seems to me that sanity and commonsense have left the building and most people don't even realise that the real bombshell has already hit.

The people who run things in this country don’t deserve your respect or allegiance. They are at war with you. They want you and your children dead.
Welcome to the New Age, where authority has no authority and does not deserve to act with any authority, but will act as if it does, anyway, and then lie to you about it.
Nowhere is this quandary more vivid than in the racketeering operation formerly known as medicine.
We need kids like this today.
This boy knew that he was a boy. Wanting to be a man.
He was ready and able to fight for what is right.

The political left, with its insane push towards unsustainable ‘green’ energy, adoption of cultural lunacy (drag queens and transgenders for children) and shunning of scientific and biological facts (“there are more than two sexes“) is leading to the end of the “petrodollar” and the huge global influence of the Western-led United States in favor of a China-led economic alliance that combines growth with authoritarianism.
Earlier this week, following a two-day summit with Saudi Arabia, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa confirmed that the oil-rich kingdom is likely to join the growing BRICS coalition consisting of core members Brazil, India, China, and South Africa.
Menace to tyrants, liberator of generations
In 1683, the most dangerous man in the world escaped from England to the Netherlands.
He didn’t look very formidable. He was 51 years old, lanky, and asthmatic. He had, according to one description, a “long face, large nose, full lips, and soft, melancholy eyes.”
Yet the King of England considered him one of his deadliest enemies. As the right-hand man of Charles II’s chief political opponent in the country, he was suspected of conspiring to assassinate the king.
Well, that would set a cat among the pigeons.
Larry the feline revealed on Twitter that he had King Charles’ blessing to assume the post being vacated by Liz Truss.
Larry the Cat, the official chief mouser of 10 Downing Street, has jokingly laid claim to the premiership via Twitter, announcing on Thursday that he had been anointed by King Charles himself.
“The King has asked me to become Prime Minister because this nonsense has gone on long enough,” the account tweeted, accompanied by a photo of himself seated before a miniature podium.

The economist John Kenneth Galbraith once quipped, “Nothing is so admirable in politics as a short memory.”
The line comes to mind after watching Dr. Anthony Fauci’s interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl over the weekend. In the interview, Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), was asked whether it was a "mistake" for schools to remain shut down for so long during the pandemic.
It was on the 6th of December 6, 2017 that President Trump recognised Jerusalem, the ancient capital of the Jewish people, as the capital of the State of Israel.
It was a momentous decision and one that the then Prime Minister of Australia, Scott Morrison followed in 2018.
Yet the new Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong announced on Tuesday the Labor Government was going back on the former prime minister's decision to recognise West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

The world turns and things change. Everybody knows that. But the turnings and changings throw off sparks, which light fires. The intellectual turnings of the European Renaissance lit fires in the lumbering bureaucracy of Roman Catholicism, burdened as it was with abstruse theology larded with lingering, age-old superstition. Witch hunts, inquisitions, and persecutions ensued, even as the authority of the old order wobbled and frayed. The gross cruelties of the people in charge didn’t bolster their prestige, and a few centuries later you see the result: belief is dead.
The suspicion is that this is an effort to hide the fact that the COVID shots have resulted in soaring cancer rates. The Ethical Skeptic also takes a deep dive into the data in “Houston, We Have a Problem, Part 1,” on TheEthicalSkeptic.com.1
As noted in his article, seven out of the 11 International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes tracked by the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics — including cancer — saw sharp upticks starting in the first week of April 2021.

There is nothing unusual about today’s floods, fires, droughts, homelessness and hunger – they have always been part of the human story.
But satellite technology allows us to track them better and our world-wide media revels in disaster-reporting, bringing tearfully tragic scenes into every living room, every night. Population growth means that more people are affected by weather extremes, but there is no evidence that floods and droughts are getting worse.
