A Bucket List

Now that my life is known to be drawing to a close, someone suggested that I write a bucket list -  that is, things to do before I die.

A bucket list.  But who can suddenly dive into adventure when they are seriously sick?  

I am lucky. I have lived a lucky life, and have done what I wanted to do.  My choices have been nearly all good.  My choice of husband was a major win.  

I have enjoyed life. I am not claiming that I was especially privileged, but mostly, I have been lucky. 

I have enjoyed a full 18 years of being a Grey Nomad and that is one of the most pleasurable things that one can do.  I have enjoyed hobbies, from breeding budgies to painting pictures and even writing books.  I have children and I have grandchildren, each of them special, each of them different. 

I don't need a bucket list.  I have filled my bucket.

So goodbye, friends, acquaintances, and even enemies, though I was never a sufficiently notable character to have any real enemies. 

(But I would have liked to live long enough to see if Trumpy wins in 2024.)  

In hospital, in a ward with blokes.

 

I spent a fortnight in a hospital ward with blokes. I did NOT like it!  And yes, the individual blokes were alright, no complaints, but it did seem odd that every time a very bloke-like man went home, he was replaced with a version even more rough and 'bloke' like. 

I did not like showing myself in just a thin nightie in mixed company.  And it was far too hot to wear more concealing garments. And how very difficult it is not to show a lot of leg when struggling out of that bed. 

I am old enough not to feel it at all likely that I might be sexually molested, but what about the young and attractive women tossed in with the blokes. They get sick too and that is not going to make them feel comfortable.  And before you say that simply would not happen, it has happened. There is not constant supervision in a hospital ward, and bells are not always answered quickly, even when the buzzer is  not lost over the side of the bed somewhere. 

It did not appear that this mixed-ward business was because of over-crowding. I think it was ideology - that those in charge preferred it that way.  Maybe they think of the two blokes in town who pretend they are women, and might put up a fuss if sent to a men's ward. So instead of taking a risk that they might be uncomfortable, they make everyone else uncomfortable.

I did wonder if that, at the very last, they would not put a women in the 4 bed ward with three men.  But old Mary, all of 50 kgs, told me she spent a fortnight in a ward in just that situation. She was not comfortable. 

Sick people should be looked after.  They should not be made uncomfortable sharing what is essentially a bedroom, with those of the opposite sex. 

Men, too.  I reckon the men would prefer all-male wards. It doesn't go all one way.

Let's try a return to the higher standards of the past. Except in cases of emergency, wards should be single-sex.

Christmas Trees are not meant to be tasteful.

What is your Christmas tree like?

Is it tasteful?  Is it maybe all blue and silver, with perfectly matched ornaments and perfectly spaced trimming?  Do you buy new ornaments every year in order to achieve perfection?  Do you care that your friends and relatives are loud in their admiration of such a perfect Christmas tree?

Well, I am sorry, but that is not a real Christmas tree.

A real Christmas tree has ornaments with a history.  They are brought out year after year as part of the traditions and the specialness of Christmas.

For me, there are the very cheap ones that I bought when there was no money to spare. Papery, and few survive, but some do, and I use them.

There are the half dozen balls made as a craft item by my sister-in-law.  That was around 20 years ago.  They may be perfect, (or close to it,)  but they are not mass produced. They are special.

There are the more fancy and usually expensive ones, bought in post Christmas sales. By the time I could afford to buy them at full price, they were not needed.  

There is the peace dove, a necessity for every Christmas tree.  I have scolded that one when I brought it out these past few years -  he has not been doing a very good job!  

Then there are are the few that represent some aspects of my life - a tiny gold coloured guitar for my husband, for instance.  

And the very best ones are the ones made by the children at school, full of imperfections and sometimes not that decorative. They should be used until they fall to bits. They are a part of you and a part of your Christmas. 

Christmas Trees are not meant to be tasteful.  They are meant to be individual and they are meant to reflect yourself and your life.  They are a part of the traditions and the specialness of Christmas, different for every one of us.

This is our Christmas tree.  It is not perfect. Even the photograph is not perfect. 

There has been some traumas in my life this past year. I even wondered if I had the will to put the tree up this year.  

I am glad I did. I may have been somewhat depressed. But I smile whenever I glance at it.

It is Christmas, and this is our Christmas tree. It belongs to myself and my husband.  

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Down, Peasant!

Do those who rule us want us to be downgraded to peasant status?

If those with vast wealth and power wanted to push the vast bulk of the population into peasant status,  and stay in charge as one of the 'elites,'  themselves living in  unchallenged riches and power, how would they go about it?  

They would want the population compliant, unquestioning, voiceless, and too poverty-stricken to think of more than day-to-day survival. It has never been the peasant class who rose up in revolution, but the middle classes.  

So they need to make them obedient, and they need to reduce their comfortable life-style.

There are several strategies available. And if some of these seem familiar to you, it may not necessarily be a deliberate ploy for these purposes, but the effect is the same. The rich become a class apart, and the rest of us are reduced to a struggle to survive. Think 'Hunger Games,' where one sector has all the power and all of the riches, and all of the others work very hard just to live.

A compliant population:

The Tyranny of the Covid Years:

Whether it had anything to do with this agenda or not, the Covid years have certainly enforced compliance on the vast majority of us.

Fear was used - the idea that a dreadful plague was abroad. Remember film of people of Wuhan dramatically dropping dead in the streets?  I don't think it was genuine, but I don't know.  

Be afraid, they said.

Remember film of a young woman shown desperately gasping for breath?  It came at a time when some people were pointing out that Covid seemed to be responsible for the deaths of only the very old.  It was frightening, but then came allegations that it was a paid actor and that there was no such Covid patient. Again, I don't know what is true. 

There was film taken of hospitals that were supposed to be full to the brim with desperately ill Covid patients, actually empty.  True?  How do we know?

Every day, we were told the numbers of Covid patients.  We were supposed to be scared. We were supposed to be obedient.  We were even encouraged to inform on anyone not following the rules. For months, the news was shown with a backdrop of a Covid virus, along with its spikes, in a sinister spin. 

There were new 'mandates' - to wear a face mask, to stay within 5 kms from home, to go out for essential purposes only, and all of that.  

Compulsory face masks.
Face masks are useless against a virus.

And the more ludicrous the 'mandate,' 
the more enormous the fine for non compliance.  

Police, especially the Victorian police, ruthlessly enforced compliance with the rules. 

Woman arrested for a social media post.
That was in Victoria. 

In Melbourne, Victoria, protesters were fired on with rubber bullets. Rubber bullets! In Australia.

There were protests, the numbers always under-reported, the participants reviled. The protests were ruthlessly suppressed in a way we had never seen before.

Victoria Police, 2021

There is still Covid around, but since for nearly everyone, it is only a bit of a cold, people have stopped worrying, and the fear is no longer pushed. But even now, we regularly see a medical 'expert' telling us that face masks are 'strongly advised.' and they are still enforced in most medical practices. (NSW, Australia.) This in spite of some very large studies showing that they make no significant difference.

It is the compliance that is wanted. It has little or nothing to do with possible spread of disease.

Some things are beginning to be revealed, showing how much the rules were ever only for the ordinary people, not for the ones who made the rules.

Partying during strict lockdown.

Not much has come to light so far in Australia, only accidental images of medical 'experts' removing their face masks the moment they think the camera is off them.  

But in the UK,  Boris Johnson lost his job partly because of what they dubbed 'Partygate.'  The pollies were having parties at the same time the citizenry was supposed to be locked down.  

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-59952395

Matt Hancock, UK Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, from 2018 to 2021, was recorded talking about 'frightening the pants off of' the public' with news of a new variant. He spoke of when he planned to 'deploy' it.

https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=1227462061493350

Voiceless:   

During the Pandemic years, we became more and more accustomed to censorship.  Censorship of opinions is the sign of a totalitarian state.  Censorship of facts, even more so.  

Researchers and doctors were censored if they spoke about treatments for Covid.  Those in charge wanted to push the vaccine, and ignore potential effective treatments.  Anything that hinted or spoke of damage caused by the Covid 'vaccines' was stopped.  Doctors who did not follow the narrative were threatened with punishment, usually that their career would be ended.  

We have become so accustomed to censorship that a proposed new law in Australia that will severely limit what can be safely said on social media is not arousing the uproar it so very much deserves. It is called the “Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation” Bill 2023. The threatened punishments for saying the wrong thing are very severe. Enormous fines, even imprisonment. 

In the USA, there was a recent ruling by the Supreme Court that the government did the wrong thing by working with social media platforms to impose censorship, and must not do it again.

But America has free speech written into its Constitution. Australia's law has come from the Common Law in England, and the concept of free speech goes right back to the Magna Carta in 1215. It does not appear to be holding very well.

Unquestioning

The ordinary people are supposed to accept what we are told. 'Trust the Science,' we are told, although 'The Science' is only according to the government and their approved scientists. These days, when someone dares to come up with an unapproved opinion or even an unapproved fact, they are punished.

The concept of 'cancelling' someone for their opinions has become widespread over the last few years. One form is the cancellation of social media accounts so that the 'incorrect' opinion is not communicated, but there can also be the non acceptance of carefully written essays, the sudden cessation of acting jobs offered, or the sudden drop in number of 'gigs' offered.

Fox (right) acting in 'Lewis.' 

Lawrence Fox was an actor.  Apparently he was deemed 'racist,'  though he denies it.  Of course, one can be called 'racist' merely for being white these days. The term is meaningless. Anyway, for that terrible offence, he lost his acting career and became a political commentator instead.  A rather good one.  

Milo Yiannopoulos, Pamela Geller,  Alex Jones and many, many others, have been 'cancelled.'  They are almost always Conservative commentators, but sometimes those with Left wing views manage to irritate the intolerant radical Left anyway. 

JK Rowling

J. K. Rowling  does not approve of allowing non-females into female spaces such as change rooms and women's refuges.  Luckily for her, she has made her fortune, and I doubt if she suffered more than annoyance at the nonsense.  

Dismissing people from their jobs:

Losing a job is a powerful disincentive from voicing an opinion, no matter how wise or true, that disagrees with what the employer thinks you should think.

Anyone working for the Public Service is especially vulnerable. There have been teachers, for instance, who have lost their jobs because of their refusal to use a student's preferred pronouns.  


Taking away of a person's banking facilities.

Justin Trudeau
accused of tyranny

It may not have been the first time that it was used, but the unforgivable action of Canada's Prime Minister was the first time it became widely known. This was the Truckies' Protest, protesting against the totally unreasonable Covid Mandates. Trudeau had the bank accounts of participants and even of those donating to help fund the protest, frozen.

Nigel Farage

And now, unbelievably, the UK banks have done it to Nigel Farage.  His bank account was closed, and he reports that another seven banks have refused him services. He assumes it is because he supported Brexit, and was instrumental in finally getting it done, in spite of all of the opposition from those in power.   

After the news of Farage came to light, more and more instances have become known.

Dan Wootton, political commentator, had his bank account closed down a couple of years ago.

https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=1450605472382018

A vicar was told to take his business elsewhere when he asked why his bank was displaying 'Pride' banners everywhere.

https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=1236179023686857

Barclays Bank closed the account of the Christian Legal Centre. After legal action, Barclays paid them compensation of £21,500.

https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=972446623948312

A parents organization was prevented from opening an account with Metro Bank over opposition to child transgender procedures.

https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/07/06/social-credit-bank-refuses-account-for-parents-org-opposed-to-child-transgenderism/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&fbclid=IwAR1Ir_U9Nqw3m5W4uPBQM2QLs4H-k3vUfnXeLyDUBrH-jTib5k--K9bjfB4

Paypal does the same and has for years. Even the fundraising platform,  'GoFundMe'  stopped the Truckies' Protest raising money. 

Update:  Nigel Farage now has proof that the bank shut him down because of his political opinions.  Some management figures have been sacked, and the bank apologised.

It has also come to light that up to a thousand other people also had their accounts shut down for non financial reasons. 

Forcing us to accept nonsense as if it was real.

If one can manage to get the ordinary people believing whatever they are told, in spite of the evidence of their own eyes, then you have come a long way to a ruling over a crushed and compliant population.

In George Orwell's '1984,' the protagonist had to believe that 2 + 2 = 5. Not pretend to believe it, but really believe it.

And now we are told to believe that boys can become girls and girls become boys. We know it is untrue, but in some areas, it has actually become illegal to say that.

In Australia, in Queensland, Victoria, and Tasmania, there have been laws passed that allows a person to change the sex that had been noted on their birth certificate. A historical document can be retrospectively changed. For anyone who respects history, it gives one the shudders. It is ludicrous.

Some are now saying that sex is 'assigned at birth' as if the doctor or midwife made a random guess. We know that all but a tiny few of us, are either XX or XY. They are either female or male, and in almost all cases, that is obvious at birth or even before on an ultrasound. 

A lot of harm has arisen from the denial of this fact, like allowing men to dominate in women's sports with the pretence that 'a trans woman is a woman,' and like allowing a male criminal to call himself a woman and be incarcerated with women prisoners, potential victims for a rapist.

Influencing children

We are also expected to accept overt and abnormal sexuality in front of children under the name of 'inclusion' and 'acceptance.'

Surveillance:

In China, they have a 'Social Credit Scheme.' Those who do not follow the nicely obedient behaviours laid down by the Communist Party can find their travel limited, their access to money limited, and undoubtedly other punishments that we don't even know about.
I have seen an interview where citizens were asked how they felt about it. None objected. They didn't dare. It would have meant a severe blow to their Social Credit Score.

In the Western world, what we like to think of as 'The Free World,' we are also subject to increasing surveillance.

CCTV:  There are CCTV cameras on more and more city streets, and on more and more  businesses and private homes. In some jurisdictions, facial recognition has been trialled. In others, very probably, it is being used.

Checking in:  During the Covid years, we became accustomed to checking in if we entered a business, even for a few minutes to pick up a loaf of bread. Most of us may have resented it, but again, the fines threatened were enormous, both for the customer and for the business. 

The authorities  promised us that they would only be used for Covid control and that records would be destroyed after 28 days.  But in at least two states, police were able to access those records, and while some may have been destroyed after 28 days, there were backup files.

Computer records: There are also computer records kept by retail stores, by hotels and motels, even by caravan parks.  Stories of hacks of such data are so routine these days that it is even expected.    

Government records: Our Australian government now wants us to add our 'myhealth' records to the 'mygov' record which deals with social security. Some of us do our best to keep away from these and insist on dealing only on paper, but that doesn't stop them putting our information on computer anyway.

And going even further, there is the idea of a 'National Digital ID'  which will link your health information, your social security record, your Driver's License, and even your passport.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12339819/National-Digital-ID-government-plans-track-citizen-universal-ID-linking-Medicare-drivers-licence-heres-launched.html

Spy phones: Most of us carry a mobile phone. Most of us know by now that our location can be tracked by using our mobile phones. Many of us have tried to switch off the locator function, but every now and then, someone demonstrates that they can be tracked anyway.

Even more worrying, France’s Parliament has voted to approve a new clause in the justice reform bill allowing police to remotely turn on cameras and microphones in a host of internet-connected devices for up to six months. What a grand method of surveillance that will be.  

https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/07/08/french-police-to-spy-through-phones-laptops-cars-using-remote-camera-microphone-activation/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR2ZeQeFehBvcYUI3M8W92qSqPLLIQYxawhcuds6h_Q1F7oq2mKm8LIf89k

Probably France is just the first, or maybe only the first that I have heard of.

Tracking your travel:

In most of the capital cities in Australia, cash is no longer accepted for public transport. You have to buy a special card, and then record when you get on to a train or bus, and when you get off. Drive a car instead? There are now so many toll roads that you need a special tag for your car and that will automatically take your money and incidentally note where you go.

Some new cars don't need anything external. They track where you go.

Plus in many cities, there are now 'congestion taxes.' Victoria is now considering a tourism tax. And that is yet another way you will be tracked.

In some places, there are attempts to bar people from entering certain areas. They speak of 'fifteen minute cities'  or  'Ultra Low Emission Zones,'  or 'ULEZ.'  In those, you either drive an electric car, or pay extra for the privilege of taking your normal car.  

All of these limit freedom of movement.

Cashless Society

There is a big push for a 'Cashless Society.' 

It is so convenient just to tap a card onto a machine and you have paid.  BUT, every single transaction can be tracked. Privacy is lost.  And it is not so convenient when you want to give a few coins to a busker or a beggar. 

The push for a cashless society is coming from the very top. Those at the very top like the prospect they can have total control over who spends what and on what. The punishment of the Canadian Truckers should be a warning to us all.  

Along with it comes an increasing push for a Central Bank Digital Currency, so there would not even be the option to change banks.

Banks deal in money, and that definitely is supposed to include cash. But unbelievably, an 

ANZ bank in Queensland denied cash to a customer.   'The bank does not carry cash.'  
https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=tab

If your bank refuses to deal in cash, they are not doing their job. Change banks. 

Global system of identification:

One way to identify people might be to look at their eyes.   Alex Blania, CEO of Worldcoin, says that a global form of ID is coming "whether you like it or not."  Below is an article that explain it further.

https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2023/07/21/ceo-of-company-that-wants-to-scan-your-irises-world-id-is-coming-whether-you-like-it-or-not/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR0IN8yTyM6GDTRGtbrKrMw1-7r7nhkG-c6xgrvfsFhAKNmk0de_UmXcZCc

DNA data base.

So many of us have had our DNA taken for various purposes. 

A lot of people have voluntarily sent samples for analysis to firms like 'AncestryDNA.'   There is the lure of finding out more about one's heredity, and even of discovering previously unknown  relatives.   

When these first appeared, I thought it was a total scam, as the price was cheaper than it should have been.  It appears that it is not fake, as at least one murderer was discovered using DNA from a relative who had done this.  I would not have thought that was legal, but as far as I know, there was no problem raised.  Maybe one of the conditions of taking the test is that they can do what they choose with the data.

More of us have had DNA taken to eliminate potential suspects when a  crime has been committed. 

And nearly all of us have now had a test for Covid, and that involved swabs from nose and throat - ie DNA is collected.  Of course, they would have said that such tests were not kept. Probably, they were not.  But can we trust what we are told?  

What a way to make a massive data base that covers most humans - if that was what was wanted.  

And Klaus Schwab, head honcho of the whole world, or that is what he wants, (Actually head of the World Economic Forum) thinks that all of we plebs should have a chip actually inserted into our bodies so that we can be tracked everywhere we go, all the time.

And Poverty-Stricken.

Action on Climate Change.

Most Western governments, maybe all of them,  have adopted a 'net zero' target to be achieved in an unrealistic time frame.  Such action will make us poorer, colder and more hungry.  

Real fire.
Turk's fire is imaginary

So that people do not object too much, we are told that we are in a 'Climate Crisis.'  We must act NOW or we will see the end of the world.  

There was a recent but very typical scare story about climate change from Volker Turk, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights. 

 He says "The planet is “[…] burning. It’s melting. It’s flooding. It’s depleting. It’s drying. It’s dying.”

Except that it is not burning, melting, flooding, depleting, drying or dying.

https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/07/03/u-n-rights-czar-truly-terrifying-famines-floods-fires-ahead-unless-climate-change-addressed/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&fbclid=IwAR0O9V4uqSoB-41-X62x32MQrznzbkT7bGsYh9MhKLGNr9Y3MfMYv46iPds

There was a canny comment below that article: "I’m pretty sure we’ve had famines, floods and fires since the dawn of time, and Earth always heals itself. That’s the beauty of nature. Pretty arrogant to presume that we can “fix”it. This is no more than a power grab and massive wealth redistribution scheme."

See that?  "This is no more than a power grab and massive wealth redistribution scheme."
I reckon that poster was quite correct.

There have always been bushfires, floods, droughts and storms. The incidence of natural events such as these has not gone up in spite of what we are told.

So now most of the world is pursuing ambitions to reduce Carbon emissions in the hope that the climate will not warm to catastrophic levels. Or at least, that is the purported reason, and any objections that there is not the slightest evidence that either Carbon or Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere has any effect on the climate, is disregarded.

For many ordinary people, the idea of doom from Climate Change (once 'Global Warming,') has become a religion. The young people have been inducted into the religion from kindergarten onward.

I don't think the ones at the top ever actually believed it, since they still jet about the world in their private jets and still live in their beachfront mansions.

John Kerry's house.
Kerry is US 'Special Presidential Envoy for Climate.' 

But if the objective is to make the rest of us more poor, they are achieving their aim. Australia has abundant reserves of coal, oil and gas. And yet the government is spending billions on building windmills and solar farms, and then more billions on the infrastructure to get the power to where it is needed.

Our electricity bills have doubled from not many years ago, and gas is the same. We are now 'transitioning' to an energy no longer dependant on conventional sources.

Plus every increase in price for energy has the flow-on effect of increasing the cost of goods produced and the cost of the transport required to get the goods to where they are needed. Our cost of living is going up and up.

A recent study estimated the cost of transitioning energy to be 1.5 trillion dollars and 9 trillion dollars by 2060.

(Weekend Australian, July 22-23, 2023) 

It is obvious that we cannot afford those enormous figures. The nation and its citizens are being bankrupted for an unachievable dream.

Freezing cold morning.
What if we had no heating?

Attacks on food supply:

There are claims that cattle and other livestock (not zebras or wildebeests or other wild animals) are threatening the climate by their 'emissions.' And so we should stop raising animals and instead, become vegans - the new fad. The fact that animal protein is important to our diet is ignored. The fact that children raised as Vegan are, on average, smaller and shorter than their peers, is ignored. We are to go back a couple of hundred years ago when only the rich could afford a diet that included meat.

Sheep on a Victorian farm.

In the 1950s, it was noted that children were bigger and stronger than in previous  generations. It was put down to improved diets.  Even back in WW1, the English officers were impressed by the physique of average Australian men as compared to Englishmen. And that was put down to a higher intake of protein. 

 

NO!

There have even been recommendations that all we ordinary people should turn to eating insects. That is not for the 'elite,' of course. One top representative at a Climate Conference was seen eating a steak complete with gold dust. I presume the gold dust was simply to demonstrate that he was special as there is no nutrition in gold dust.

According to John Kerry, destruction of the farming industry is essential to achieving 'Net Zero'.

https://gellerreport.com/2023/08/kept-husband-and-private-jet-connoisseur-kerry-ripped-for-demanding-agriculture-emission-cuts-bankrupt-every-farmer-in-america.html?fbclid=IwAR2tc04sbK9_uTH8OdzLJkg5ojfzRql0HKXD414F3uoaTbOHKRHuLoZAQBU

This idea has resulted in some direct action to limit farming, like banning fertilisers, putting farmers out of business, (Holland) like enforcing the culling of livestock, and like making insane laws about not disturbing the ground, as in limits on clearing 'Native Vegetation.'

Without farmers, we cannot feed eight billion people. Maybe those at the top think that is not important. We have even been referred to as 'useless eaters.'


There have also been a surprising number of food factories burnt down or exploded, which some have theorised could be deliberate, but is probably not.

People who need to worry about their food supply are seldom revolutionaries. It is a way of weakening ordinary people.

Make the population weaker by having them divided.

If you wanted to sit safely at the top without threat of uprisings by a united populace, it would make sense to ensure division between people. Mass immigration into Europe by 'refugees' from 3rd world African countries has seen the rise of Islamic terrorist attacks, an increasing number of 'No Go' areas, and problems with policing.

Recently in Paris

The current widespread rioting in France is said to be by recent immigrants, who don't seem to have any intention of assimilation.   The population is more divided. 

https:www.reuters.com/world/europe/riots-shake-france-after-police-shoot-teenager-2023-06-29/

Crossing the border into the US

In America, since Biden became president, the Southern border is so porous that it definitely appears deliberate. Millions are pouring across.

'Identity politics' is another way to divide us. These days, those who can claim victimhood by reason of their sex, their race, or even what they like to do in bed are the ones applauded and pandered to.  So people are chosen for jobs and even admission to clubs and colleges based on their victimhood status rather than on merit. It seldom works well.

 

Kamala Harris
US Vice President.

In 2019, Joe Biden said that he wanted a 'woman of colour' to be his Vice-President.  And so we have Kamala Harris.  Sadly, she appears to be an utter nincompoop.

Admiral Rachel Levine

Rachel Levine, a transgender 'woman' (ie a man) has been given an admiralship and is now the United States assistant secretary for Health. Is this person competent? Probably not, since he advocates the 'transitioning' of children. And that is NOT healthy.

It was mostly white men who built Western civilisation, but they are now reviled as wicked colonisers and fascists and goodness knows what else. All bad.

Remember the speech by Martin Luther King, Jnr? "I have a dream," he said. "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

Well, that dream was largely achieved years ago. But it is no longer enough for those  who call themselves 'anti-racists.'  Now there is something called CRT that is taught in schools and taught as 'personal development' in public service departments.  Basically, it teaches that whites are racist by nature and that they should be hated.  That is not, of course, what they say they teach.

CRT and similar courses of 'education' are divisive and they are meant to be divisive. 

Attacks on freehold property:

In the ACT, (Australia) the territory government passed a special law that has enabled them to steal a private hospital, the Calvary Hospital.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-06-07/legal-battle-continues-over-calvary-public-hospital/102452024

Calvary Hospital, Canberra

In Western Australia, the Aboriginal Heritage Act came into effect 1st July, 2023. This act states that any modification of the land on a property just a little bigger than an average suburban block must first be approved by the local Aboriginals. How this will work in practice is difficult to predict. Want to plant a tree on your own land? Want to move a fence line, want to plough a paddock for a new crop? You will need permission.

The fines for non compliance are enormous. I have noticed before that the more ludicrous a law or 'mandate,' the more enormous the fine for non compliance.

Disarmament of the population:

  

All of these measures work to decrease the power of the general population while concentrating wealth and power in the hands of the few.

What if the general population seeks to resist? In Australia, very few people (apart from the criminals) now own guns. Britain has strict gun laws, while America is variable. While the right to bear arms is written into their constitution, many cities and states do limit it.

There is continual pressure to make gun laws more strict.

A report from Oxfam claims that over the last two years, the richest 1% of people have accumulated close to two-thirds of all new wealth created around the world.

So far, not many ordinary people appear to resent it. That night change one day.

Conclusion:

So. Is there a conspiracy by those right at the top to push the rest of us back into peasanthood?

How would it work?

Imagine - John Smith is a candidate for CEO of a very big transnational business. He is facing the board. They tell him about the conspiracy which he can become part since he now part of  'the elite?'

Smith asks "What about my family?"

"Your immediate family is also now the elite?' 

"My cousin, who is a physician?  My niece, who is a teacher?"

"Sorry, we can't have just anyone as part of us."

"No. That is wrong and I will not be part of it."

And the floor opens under his chair and poor John Smith falls into a tank of hungry crocodiles.  

Above, the chair is replaced with another, and the next candidate is called in.

In other words, it is not going to work. There is no world wide conspiracy as there will always be dissenters and there will always be fightback.

That does not mean that there are some very powerful people who would like this new order to be the case and are trying to make it so. They even have a name for it - 'The New World Order.'

And it is hard to deny that there are moves toward more and more surveillance, and more and more controls over us.  Our freedom to do and say what we think is more limited by the year.

Klaus Schwab

I am ending this post with those immortal words of Klaus Schwab:  

"You vill own nothing and you vill be happy."

Except I don't think I will be happy about that at all.
