AFR Newspaper Report Conclusion –
“the money will have to come from somewhere else”.
Cue for –
1. More Taxes
2. More Debt
3. Sell more of the ‘Family Silver’ (if there is any left that is).
Does Chalmers have Finance/Economic qualifications/work experience in the real world? Does ‘Albo’ have any experience in the real world? Does ‘Blackout’ Bowen have any understanding of electrical engineering and how an Electricity Grid Power System should work?

Or ‘Chump Change Chalmers’.

“Does Chalmers have Finance/Economic qualifications/work experience in the real world? ”
That remains to be seen but the real data show that the ALP is far and away better for Australia and Australians than is the LNP.
In the six years of a Labor government from 2008 to 2013 the GDP per capita increased from hrose from $49,655 in 2008 to $68,028 in 2012 an increase of $18,502 (and this was with the much maligned Wayne Swan as Treasurer).
In contrast during the 9 years of LNP government the GDP per capita fell from $68,157 in 2013 to $59,934 in 2021 a fall of $8223.
https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/AUS/australia/gdp-per-capita
These figures show that far from LNP policies leading to higher real GDP per capita, the reverse is the case while ALP policies far from leading to lower real GDP per capita again the reality is the reverse.

Ian,
You forgot about about the astronomical debt levels (that we have inherited from both sides of government) . How long can we spend other peoples money ? The bubble gets much bigger under ALP spending , and its getting wasted on boondoggles . GDP per capita merely indicates that population is rising faster than production . Not good news .
70
Ian – too often the LNP is having to tighten belts due to the gross excesses of Labour largesse.
This time we have unfortunately had Morrisons ridiculous and reckless covid blowout instead of the more careful LNP response. Completely unjustified and stupid. When Chalmers gets to work it will quickly bring the whole economy crashing down. With higher and rising interest rates the old Labour stalwart of borrow borrow and borrow again is that much harder.
80
Labor need do nothing to worsen our economic situation – but probably will. The federal govt, five of the six state govts, and both territories are so far in debt they are well beyond bankruptcy. The federal debt alone – one and a half trillion, would take 250 years to pay off.
I am quite sure Chalmers and Marle know this, and still Labor are spending like drunken sailors. So one can only logically conclude that sending the country hopelessly and irretrievably bankrupt is part of the overall plan.
70
You need to show figures from 1788. Otherwise you are just like the Climate Alarmists and only showing the very recent temperature figures since the mid 1800s, and, even those temperatures have been BOM ‘tinkered with’ to the upside.
10
Do you remember the situation when “Kevin 07” took the reins, national debt 0, look at the joint now.
30
GDP includes government spending so its no real surprise that in any Labor period GDP will climb. Doesnt actually say much about the health of the real productive economy.
30
Democracies fail in this regard, both sides of government spend too much on the wrong things. The situation in the US is far more tenuous, the debt level is beyond belief.

Sometimes, the @n@l factor of daily data collection comes in handy, and oddly, thinking back, there’s neither rhyme nor reason why I even decided to add this data to the core of what I am doing with wind data collection, and that core is the long term Capacity Factor. (CF)
This observation is something I noticed at a Comment on the Sunday Open Thread (and here’s the link to that Comment) and this is by no means a criticism of that Comment by Rick Will, because, really, he’s one of the more informative commenters here at Joanne’s site. (They are all informative, just that some have a stronger Engineering background than others, and can explain complex electrical power generation matters a little better, and Rick is one of those)
Okay, here’s what he wrote in his Comment: (and here, I have added the bolding for emphasis)
That 45GW generation from a 50GW Nameplate comes in at 90% CF. Now something like that ….. the 90% CF could even be thought of (probably even widely thought of) as feasible for a daily high, a quick knock off number that gains traction maybe, and becomes acceptable, even if it might only happen occasionally, but it’s an easy thing to just say it, wind may be able to produce 45GW from a 50GW total for a day.
And now, here’s where that data addition I mentioned at the top comes in handy.
In all these now almost four and a half years of daily data collection, the absolute (and did I say that word ABSOLUTE) best that wind power has generated power at is at a CF of ….. 74.12%, and that was at 8.50PM on Thursday 4th August 2022, when wind generation reached 7304MW from a Nameplate of 9854MW.
Now, why I was so precise here is that this absolute high point for wind generation was for one single point in time of ….. a FIVE MINUTE recording period. It spiked to that high point, and then immediately fell away again.
Now, the best it has ever been across a whole single day ….. a 24 hour recording period is 62.98% CF, and that was on Saturday 17th September 2022, when wind generated 148.94GWH of power across the day, an average of 6206MW from a total Nameplate of 9854MW.
With the increase in Nameplate from 9854MW to the (now) Nameplate of 10,277MW, wind generation has still not reached that CF absolute maximum, and in fact has not even reached that previous maximum of 7304MW.
Now even that 24 hour period is an absolute rarity as well, and that’s why the long term averages are in fact so important. It’s no good quoting a one off best case, because they are so few and far between ….. LITERALLY. You can have a one day high like this to divert the power to charge these (mythical) batteries, but then it’s back to average and below average, and your battery charge has run out with the very first evening peak following that really good day.
Sometimes, people are offended by my use of an average for wind generation, and that might probably stem from that figure being so low at just 30%. However, when you only have an absolute maximum for a five minute period in time, and all that maximum is comes in at just 74%, the bland statement of ….. wind may be able to generate 45GW from a Nameplate of 50GW is a throw away line that is dare I even say it ….. fake news in the extreme.
Tony.

I think what is also frightening about wind power is the % of time when there is ZERO, NADA, ZILCH generation. Maybe your stats would also reveal that? I live in Central Victoria and can drive past wind turbines in any direction within 20 mins. A great deal of the time those turbine blades are motionless. Let’s face it – they’re a big scam.
140
Most engineers with the right approach could calculate the exact, absolute cost of generating power from each source and getting it to the point of use.
You can do it with coal, gas, nuclear, turbines and solar thingamees.
Politicians never allow such figures to be seen and instead authorise discussion of non engineering type stuff that appears sciency to the uninitiated.
Nuclear is still expensive but China and France are developing technology that will work well in the future,,; Australia needs to make a gentle start on exploring nuclear power and dismissing the nutty “renewables” whose only functions are to help deindustrialise us and send heaps of our money to the nations that make make them.
None of our politicians are benefiting from this scam. None.
100
Why?
I’ve got nothing against nuke, but why go to the expense when the eastern third of the continent sits on a bed of coal, LNG abounds, and CCSG seems to be almost everywhere.
Nuke makes sense when there are limited choices, but for us, with zero nuclear expertise or technology, but an abundance of cheap fossil fuel alternatives, it makes no sense at all except to pander to the global warming nonsense.
172
I agree that coal should be our primary focus.
No doubts there.
My view is that all so called renewables should be stopped immediately and a small, research scale nuclear generation system set up to develop and understanding of the system for the long distant future.
Any day I drive past the six sided pig I’ll see several mile long coal trains heading for the harbour. Coal is King here.
50
Hexham is a good place to go to if you want to appreciate the amount of coal that’s being sent to China.
10
And the main point being made about nuclear power is that it is cheaper, heaps more reliable and less environmentally damaging than turbines and solar.
Besides which nuclear has a future which current renewables do not although that’s not entirely true; the 14,000 retired wind turbines in the U.S. subsidy farm are still there, rotting and creating an eyesore. Not so environmentally friendly after all.
10
Same thing when I lived at Rockhampton. They’d come from the coal fields to the West of Rocky, and then turn South to the port at Gladstone.
One mile long as you say, hauled by five diesel electric locomotives, three at the front, two at half way.
100 Hoppers, and each Hopper holds 100 Tonnes, so each ‘unit’ is hauling 10,000 Tonnes of coal.
One Unit passes each and every hour, 24 hours a day, and 365 days a year.
240,000 Tonnes a day, 87.6 Million Tonnes a year.
They only stopped for the floods.
Oh, and I’m curious. What’s the ‘six sided pig’.
Hexham! Ahh, the Oak Factory, I remember it well. Best thick shakes in Australia without a fraction of doubt.

Here are some figures for German Off-shore wind farms (in 2018).
more than 94% of (nominal) capacity 3.2% of the time
more than 82% of (nominal) capacity 11.5% of the time
more than 71% of (nominal) capacity 21.1% of the time
more than 50% of (nominal) capacity 40.1% of the time This is roughly the CF figure for that year
more than 30% of (nominal) capacity 64% of the time (It would be lower for the last 2 years)
more than 20% of (nominal) capacity 75.4% of the time
less than 11% of (nominal) capacity 13.9% of the time
Bear in mind that the performance of off-shore turbines was supposedly double that for on-shore ones.
70
Random power is useless for most purposes. Like a heart which would stop for a minute or two.
Manufacturing is about a long chain of processes. You cannot just turn the power off randomly!
Historically windmills were used from Spain to Greece to Holland to the UK.
And they went out of business almost instantly when steady power was available.
But we seem to have to learn it all again. Why?
Do our leaders really believe in earth, wind and fire? Have they really gone full druid?

The acid test will be here soon when Liddell which supplies 10% of the NSW Electricity Grid goes off line in April 2023.
What is there ready to go to fill the gap? A Big AGL Battery?
By this time NSW State ‘LayBore’ should be in power so they can liaise with the Federal LayBore Guv’ment along with AGL to sort out the mess. Those Interconnectors with QLD and VIC will be at breaking point methinks (they already are by all accounts).

Another cold and wet week in summer

First it was Auckland and now Albury Wodonga, it might be climate change.
‘Albury has one of Australia’s longest available periods of records for rainfall, with data stretching back to 1858. This past 24 hour’s rain was the 2nd highest daily total in this lengthy period, beaten only by 167.6 mm from April 1 in 1863.
‘Nearby, the 134 mm of rain that fell at Hume Dam during the 24 hours to 9am on Monday, which was its highest daily total in records dating back to 1922.’ (Weatherzone)
10
During my lifetime records are set less and less often. Odd?
Can you imagine on day 1 of the BOM. Everything was a record (especially as they ignored and still ignore all the records kept by the states, an entire century missing) So the Climate must have changed very suddenly in 1909. Tim Flannery would have claimed it was proof of Climate Change.
70
intuitively that is correct but there is an expected pattern and rate of decline. Does the data you are quoting fit the expected pattern/rate?
10
But surely the increased CO2 levels were going to create more frequent firestorms in summer, or was it cyclones, or blizzards, or droughts? It’s hard to keep up with the ever changing fairytales.
50
I would be extremely surprised if a 50% change in CO2 over 250 years makes any noticeable difference at all. You would need a very good explanation and so far, no one has actually made such a science argument. Really, I have never read an explanation of this supposed effect.
Just the vague stuff happens so other stuff happens, maybe. And why wouldn’t it go the other way, making things less frequent? It’s all just make believe.
For example if you argue that if CO2 is associated with slight warming, CO2 causes the warming, why isn’t it equally valid to argue that warming causes CO2? And that actually has a very simple explanation when you realise that 98% of all CO2 is dissolved in the oceans.
30
‘Another cold and wet week in summer.’
Unseasonably cool and wet, but its only weather, right?
‘Last night’s downpour brings the monthly total at Sydney’s Observatory Hill up to 191.4 mm, which is close to double the long-term monthly average of 101 mm. This was Sydney’s wettest January since 2016 and its second wettest since 1988. In 165 years of records, only 16 Januarys have seen more rain than this one.
‘It was also an unusually cool start to the year in Sydney based on daytime temperatures. The mean maximum temperature at Observatory Hill will come in at around 26.7ºC, which would be the city coolest January since 2012, despite being 0.7ºC warmer than average.’ (Weatherzone)

I see your shyster BoMs now have ‘❄️’ ie. snow symbols, on their alpine forecasts for both NSW & VIC this Friday. If only they’d randomly placed solar panels around the summits of ski areas this could’ve been averted. All Hail The Science™.

I’d say in the last few years there has been an infinite % increase in covid and covid vaccine deaths.
36
Correct Gee Aye- This demonstrates how hysterical things get when you choose to present relative rates rather than absolute. Big pharma like to give efficacy in relative terms, but use relative data for adverse events. I called bullshit on the pandemic when there were no excess deaths over 2019. It is now popcorn time, waiting for the kernel of truth to pop! Staring at the microwave.

should be absolute risk for adverse events

I agree.
Going from zero CV19 deaths pa in Australia in 2018 to 69 in 2022 is hyperbolic!
Unfortunately COVID19 VaXXine deaths could not be counted because the public servant who was assembling the data had a serious accident after a meeting with Dandrews and couldn’t remember anything afterwards.

What is Xi thinking?
‘Chinese students enrolled in Western universities have been told to book flights and get themselves back to campus for face-to-face teaching before the new academic year begins.
‘With most Australian campuses set to start teaching in the middle of February, the directive from education department officials in Beijing means that many tens of thousands of students will be rushing to get visas approved, flights booked and accommodation found, adding pressure to an already over-heated rental market.’ (Fin Review)
80
Pandemic Phase II.
Covid-19 is rife in the PRC.
31
I don’t think so.
If it was a disease outbreak they would want their students to stay away.
I have a very bad feeling about this, best summed up by Shakespeare in MacBeth –
“By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.”
40
Seems very suspicious to me too.
40
How many of these students are first and foremost soldiers of the Chinese army?
Why assemble an army to invade when there is an open invitation in which your army can hide?
10
They are not soldiers, look at the situation as it is. Xi has to reinvigorate the economy or become history, that is why the students are returning to overseas universities.
‘The CCP has long legitimized its monopoly on power by its ability to deliver high economic growth. Indeed, as seen through the lens of ancient Chinese philosophy regarding the “Mandate of Heaven,” rulers could retain their power only by improving the people’s wellbeing, and it appears that the CCP has concluded that the best way to do so, at least for the time being, is to repair relations with the West.’ (Responsible Statecraft)

Ultra-thin coating makes for self-cleaning solar panels
Solar panels can’t operate efficiently if they’re caked in dirt, but cleaning them regularly can become a time-consuming process. Engineers in Germany have now developed an ultra-thin coating that can make solar panels and other surfaces self-cleaning.
Solar is the biggest source of renewable energy, and it’s growing quickly. But as you could imagine, it’s not feasible to send someone out with a squeegee to clean millions of solar panels in each park. Having them clean themselves would be ideal – and now researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany have made strides towards that concept.
The team created a coating that changes its response to water based on the time of day, allowing it to shed any buildup of dust and dirt fairly quickly. The key ingredient is titanium oxide, which in its normal state repels water, forming drops that easily roll off. When the titanium oxide is exposed to UV light, however, it changes state to become highly water-attracting, which keeps the surface wet with a thin layer of water.
In effect, this makes for a self-cleaning coating. Dust or dirt that accumulates during the day can’t stick to the surface because the thin layer of water keeps it off, then at night the water beads up into droplets that easily roll off, taking the dirt with it. As a bonus, when the titanium oxide is activated with UV light it destroys organic molecules, effectively sterilizing the surface.
https://www.fep.fraunhofer.de/en/press_media/02_2023.html
Titanium Dioxide. Now where have I heard of that. Oh yeah, the whiteout and paint additive used in forging canister damascus, with the inevitable poor results.😆
Hopefully it’ll be better on solar panels.

Black Swans Could Be Entirely Wiped Out by a Single Virus, Scientists Warn
The genetic make-up of the iconic Australian black swan (Cygnus atratus) leaves it extremely vulnerable to viruses such as avian flu, research from the University of Queensland reports.
The threat is thought to be so severe that it could wipe out the species entirely.
The discovery comes after the distinctive bird’s genome was sequenced for the first time in 2021.
Ordinarily, this achievement would be something to celebrate from a scientific perspective – but a comparison with closely-related northern hemisphere white swans has revealed that certain key immune genes are missing from its DNA.
That’s likely to be, at least partly, down to the way that the black swan is isolated geographically. These animals haven’t had the same exposure to pathogens that are found outside of southeast and southwest Australia, the areas where it primarily lives and breeds.
“[B]lack swans are extremely sensitive to highly pathogenic avian influenza – HPAI which is often referred to as bird flu – and can die from it within three days,” says microbiologist Kirsty Short from the University of Queensland in Australia.

Scientists Struggle to Understand Why Antarctica Hasn’t Warmed for Over 70 Years Despite Rise in CO2
Scientists are scrambling to explain why the continent of Antarctica has shown Net Zero warming for the last seven decades and almost certainly much longer. The lack of warming over a significant portion of the Earth undermines the unproven hypothesis that the carbon dioxide humans add to the atmosphere is the main determinant of global climate.
Under ‘settled’ science requirements, the significant debate over the inconvenient Antarctica data is of necessity being conducted well away from prying eyes in the mainstream media. Promoting the Net Zero political agenda, the Guardian recently topped up readers’ alarm levels with the notion that “unimaginable amounts of water will flow into oceans”, if temperatures in the region rise and ice buffers vanish. The BBC green activist-in-chief Justin Rowlatt flew over parts of the region and witnessed “an epic vision of shattered ice”. He described Antarctica as the “frontline of climate change”. In 2021, the South Pole had its coldest six-month winter since records began in 1957, a fact largely ignored in the mainstream. One-off bad weather promoter Reuters subsequently ‘fact checked’ commentary on the event in social media. It noted that a “six-month period is not long enough to validate a climate trend”.

A perfect analogy for the dead MSM
https://twitter.com/SeanMastersons/status/1617346165670043649
The legacy media now exists almost solely as a propped up corpse whose only function is to facilitate the formerly neoliberal, now woke elite. Rather than expose truth, its main purpose seems to be to suppress dissent, as became blindingly apparent during the Covid era.
But are we about to hit a tipping point where things like Twitter, and whatever similar platforms may emerge, will be considered the ‘real’ media?
James O’Keefe of Project Veritas believes we’re already there. Someone on a Twitter space told him it was a shame their recent video exposé of Pfizer employee Jordan Walker hadn’t garnered much coverage in the mainstream media, to which O’Keefe countered that it had received over 20 million views on Twitter already. A quick check shows it is up to 38.6 million at the time of writing.

New brain implant breaks record for turning thoughts into text
A woman typed 62 words per minute — using only her mind.
Stanford researchers have developed a speech brain-computer interface (BCI) they say can translate thoughts into text at a record-breaking speed — putting us closer to a future in which people who can’t talk can still easily communicate.
The challenge: “Anarthria” is a devastating condition in which a person can’t speak, despite being able to understand speech and knowing what they want to say. It’s usually caused by a brain injury, such as a stroke, or a neurological disorder, such as Parkinson’s disease or ALS.
Some people with anarthria write or use eye-tracking tech to communicate, but this “speech” is far slower than the average talking speed. People with anarthria due to total paralysis or locked-in syndrome can’t even move their eyes, though, leaving them with no way to communicate.
Even if researchers are able to perfect the software, though, speech BCIs are still extremely experimental, and there are other issues to overcome — over time, scar tissue forms around traditional electrode implants, eventually rendering them useless.
Still, if the Stanford study holds up under peer-review, it represents a major step forward for speech BCIs — putting us closer to a future in which people with anarthria are able to communicate effectively using just their thoughts.

Why Can’t Virologists set up Proper Experimental Controls?
Dr Peter McCullough took a shot at the Covid Virus Deniers recently and said that he has seen the virus up close and personal. He linked to a paper which presented cryoelectron microscope images of “the virus”.
Dr Sam Bailey not only featured his article and the paper with the pictures but she came back at him saying; “They seem to have missed a few things, including the fact that those of us taking the ‘no virus’ position called fraud on COVID-19 prior to the likes of McCullough and co. calling fraud on the subsequent responses. Additionally, we are not denying the existence of the ‘virus’, we are calling fraud on all of virology and the entire virus hypothesis. There are no particles that have ever been shown to be replication-competent and pathogenic to fulfil this imaginary concept.”
Then she has a go at the paper which purports to show images of the Covid virus. “The methods section of the cited paper reveals that the authors simply asserted they started with “viral strains” in some obtained specimens. Then, these were mixed with Vero monkey kidney cells and after the cells broke down 4-5 days later, they were prepared for imaging. Various particles were imaged amongst the cellular debris and these were declared to be “virions.” (There was no control experiment of course.) Oh dear!”
That seems to me to be a pretty serious criticism and one that Dr McCullough should perfectly understand.
So what would a control for this experiment involve. Well even though I know very little about virology, except for a basic understanding of viral theory, I would expect that they could at least run a parallel experiment where the same monkey kidney cells are exposed to the nasal swab from a healthy person (who has tested negative to Covid) and see what happens.
I hope others here can provide some explanation.
https://drsambailey.com/dr-peter-mccullough-says-he-has-seen-a-picture-of-a-virus-up-close/
30
Sigh. Bailey and others are throwing out an entire field of science, ignoring decades of work, and they have nothing at all to explain the observations we see.
They are asking for anachronistic pointless controls in medico jargon, to prove something that was proven long ago, as if every experiment now needs to repeat things done in the 20s, 30s and 40s and 50s. As I keep saying, their hypothesis has been proven wrong by all the cross correlating independent millions of observations and yet no matter how many times I keep repeating the standing tests of virology — plaque assays, contact tracing, antigen tests, PCR sequencing, electronmicrographs, serology, d-dimer tests, blood oxygen results, tissue culture, x-rays, etc etc etc. No one can come up with any reasonable hypothesis of how tens of thousands of independent pathologists, doctors and millions of patients are all kept in the scam, faking all that data on a 24 / 7 live basis so they don’t produce contradictions, inexplicable mutations etc.
In science a hypothesis must fit the observations. That is the whole method. They can’t do that.
I could spend hours repeating the standard textbook stuff from virology books, or I could expose Big Pharma, the threat of bioweapons? I know which is 100,000 times more important, so forgive me if I prioritize other issues. I advise people to listen to McCullough, Malone, Marik, and the FLCCC and not waste time others with “brave” but baseless ideas.
If you really want to reassure yourself that viruses do exist, please google “plaque assay” and see how that one test in virology works. It’s a start. And as I keep boringly harping on about, look at Nextstrain. Please, learn about that data…
152
The particular paper was about producing electron micrographs of the Covid virus.
They should have had a control, but apparently they did not.
I have not abandoned viral theory myself but I bump up against Sam Bailey’s criticisms of viral research and her points seem valid.

Apparently people don’t use electronmicroscopy much now, because it’s expensive and there are so many cheaper techniques. Do they critique the same paper she does?
So Sam Bailey may really have found a flawed one (or not). Even if she has, it may say more about the field of electronmicroscopy and nothing much about Covid. Can you see how it could become my full time job to go through each paper that doesn’t have the control she personally wishes? As I keep saying and no one has an argument to refute, she is ignoring decades of work by multiple means done by thousands of independent labs. She is cherry picking small instances while ignoring all the techniques that confirm the vast bulk.
Has anyone looked at Nextstrain or Plaque Assays?
If there is something special about a paper she has found that disproves Covid (rather than just showing some level of incompetence) then please send a link to that paper with a description of what it demonstrates about Covid.

Plaque Assay;
So some thing kills the bacteria and I am happy to call it a virus, unless there is another explanation.
40
See https://virologyresearchservices.com/2022/08/10/the-plaque-assay/
The bacteriophage plaque assay was developed in 1917. The animal host cell assay started in the 1950s. So we are talking about a 104 year old technique still in use which is a common technique to tell us how many active virions are in every ml of a sample. It shows the agent (whatever it is) can infect and kill that type of cell.
If they are looking at monkey viruses, say, they would use a monkey host cell. Viruses are often extremely specific.
Obviously we could do electronmicrgraphs of that same solution knowing it had proven active agents in it. We can also PCR it to show that the right sequence is present. And we can take the same sample and do antigen tests to show that the antibodies we expect will bind to it. Can you see what I mean by there being a web of tests that can confirm the concept?
There are 442 papers of plaque assay AND sars
30
Nextstrain shows evolution of the viral DNA. However it does not provide any information about how a genetic sequence can be obtained form a non purified sample.
30
Peter, but imagine trying to fake up the Nextstrain database. There is corruption everywhere, but some corruption is easier to fake than others. Some types of corruption are just too difficult to pull off.
But thanks for looking. I would appreciate it if people can get some idea of how much data is out there and how well developed the techniques are. The controls in experiments may be designed by people who aren’t looking to prove the things Bailey feels the need to prove because those questions were answered decades ago.
Or Bailey may have found genuine flaws in a few junk papers. But that doesn’t demonstrate the big conclusions she appears to be drawing.
PS: Nextstrain doesn’t prove everything. Nor do plaque assays, or electronmicrographs. It’s the totality of many techniques that do.
40
Thanks Jo,
I had hoped that this topic might be of more general interest. It has become an argument between just the two of us,. It is a big topic.
I will make a few points in conclusion.
1.
Sam Bailey and others are attacking the whole field of virology, because it is based on very dodgy foundations. She is not ignoring decades of work. She addresses a lot of it.
2. Sam did not find one paper viral electron microscopy with poor methadology. Peter McCullough found the paper and wrote about it because it purports to show the Covid virus. Sam claims that the weakness in this paper is common to the whole field of viral electron microscopy. So far as I can tell no one has proved that wrong (as yet).
3. Sam and co. do have a way to explain many of the things we see. It is called Terrain Theory. Terrain Theory is an alternative to Germ Theory as promoted by Louis Pasteur and everyone since. In Terrain Theory illness and disease are caused by environmental factors such as malnutrition, diet, toxins, drugs, poisons etc.
There is probably a place for both theories, but in many cases the Germ Theory (infective particles) is given predominance and environmental factors are ignored. Polio and AIDS are prime examples.
4. The weakness of Terrain Theory in the context of a pandemic is that it does not explain transmission. However transmission itself is hard to demonstrate. Often the origin of the ‘infection” is unknown. Where the “infection” seems to spread to close contacts they share the same environment.
Food for thought.
00
Peter, I am very interested in the topic.
1. It’s hard for me to reply to things like this though: “because it is based on very dodgy foundations”. It’s vague, lacks any criticism undermining plaque assays, blood tests, antigen surveys, 5 million full viral sequences, d-dimer, blood oxy saturation changes, chest x-rays, and a world of other studies that build on all these things (which I keep boringly repeating). There are thousands of papers which make predictions on how genes or molecules will behave, what they will bind too, their exact binding energy, what they will compete with, and then how the virus will respond to selective pressure, and finally how the human body will respond to changes in these components. There is a field studying human cell defences against viruses — Interferon/Toll like receptors/t cell/antibodies. If viruses don’t exist, all of those papers need a new hypothesis to explain them. Why did human cells evolve these mechanisms? Sam addresses 0.00000001% of virology and offers no better explanation for millions of observations.
2. I produced a paper on electronmicroscopy that pointed out how this technique has lost expertise and people are mistakenly making claims they can’t support. So I’m agreeing with Sam but still pointing out this is irrelevant. Did you read it? Does the modern deficiency in one expensive technique tell us about viruses or about our bad models for funding research? Does a modern failure retrospectively extinguish good electronmicrographs on viruses from 40 years ago? Do bad studies extinguish good electronmicrographs of Covid?
3. I’ve been an advocate of nutrition, exercise, etc and natural health. See my vitamin D post in March 2020. The grip of Pharma influence suppresses these in medicine, which is an appalling crime. But the existence of these factors (and I agree with you on them) does not disprove viruses. However the lack of covid disease in WA in 2020/21 disproves terrain theory.
4. Transmission has been demonstrated in this pandemic x 1000. The Australian government was testing 5000 people in 2020 to find even one case. That made it possible to track the virus in ways we have rarely been able to. (Though it has been done for other less infectious and rare diseases many times). The contact tracing in Sydney then found links to most transmission, even including CCTV footage of a guy in Bondi walking past a known spreader in a shop. If viruses don’t exist, why were Western Australians (as deficient in vitamins as people on the East Coast) not getting sick at all, with zero cases? Why was it that the most likely people to get sick were not people lacking Vitamin D in another house, but those in the same house? When viruses were sequenced, in full, all 29,000 bases, it was even possible to distinguish exactly where someone caught the virus (home work or bus). We followed the transmission chain through airports, across the world.
5. Since DNA and RNA are central to life on Earth, what process would stop viruses from evolving? What force would keep small segments of code from self-replicating in a parasitic way? In every corner of the biological kingdom there are parasites that free-load on the system. I cannot imagine why DNA or RNA would be the only aspect — the only niche in biology where this did not happen.
10
Thanks Jo,
I agree. I was just summarising. I might take that up as the topic next time.
Yes I did read the paper on electron microscopy. It did indeed talk about the failings on viral electron microscopy that Sam has previously identified. Probably not worth continuing with that topic, since we are in general agreement.
That is a very interesting observation and possibly a killer argument for Covid being a viral illness.
Likewise your arguments about case management in other states which was able to suppress Covid (originally) with lockdowns. TB case management works in a similar fashion and works quite well since the infectivity is quite low.
Your point 5. is a philosophical argument but very powerful. I have to agree.
10
People I’ve met who believe viruses don’t exist also believe that Covid-19 is a result of gain-of-function research.
Can’t have it both ways, pick one!

Okay, I mentioned this in the Sunday Unthreaded, well, part of it anyway, and since then, I have looked further into it, and I’m going to link you to a video to watch, and it’s just five and a hlaf minutes.
This is a 15MW wind turbine. It’s from the Vestas Company, and this prototype was constructed in Denmark.
Okay, here’s the data sheet for this Unit at this link, (scroll almost to the bottom) and read it closely for all it says, all it might be hiding in plain sight, and all it does not say, and I have spent almost two hours looking for all this information.
The claimed Capacity Factor is 60%, (with the proviso, depending on site specific conditions) The noise operation is 105dB(A) and 85dBA is the OHS upper limit for Australia, but that’s okay, it’s umm, offshore, so no one will ever hear it eh! No mention of hub height, so I had to go looking for that. It’s 280 metres. The blades are 116 Metres and taking the hub into account that stretches the distance from ground level to blade tip out to 398 metres.
Okay, tower height to the hub is 280 Metres. Look at the Sydney skyline and there is no building taller than that. To the tip of the blade, it’s only 45 metres less than the Empire State Building in New York. That blade length of 118 metres taking the hub into it, gives a tip speed of 375KPH under normal operation.
Okay, the weight of the nacelle, that sits on top of that tower was not stated so I had to go look for that too. It’s umm, 500 tonnes give or take, and while not stated at this article, note the image and look at the weight bearing capacity of the beam it’s sitting on, and the size when compared to the people in the foreground.
Here’s the link to the Video at the YouTube site.
Now, as you watch the video, also be aware of what is not mentioned here. Because all of this is constructed ….. ON shore. And all of this is specifically designed for Offshore operations.
Note the Nacelle being hauled along the roads. That now has to be transported in barge or ship out to the offshore site.
Note the barge carrying the blades and then the road journey to the site.
Note the specialist cranes, umm, on solid ground, and not on board ship on a rolling sea, trying to delicately lift 500 tonnes and place it ever so very carefully on top of the tower.
Wonder at what will need to be constructed under the water and into the sea bed.
280 metres tall. Maintenance time, rock up with the boat, and carrying all your equipment on a backpack, then climb the 280 metre vertical stairway inside the tower?? Nup, a helicopter will gently lower you to the big platform at the back of the nacelle. So, even by vertical ladder, and a whole bunch of offshore towers, try and imagine the all up costs for maintenance per tower, let alone a helicopter hire for dangerous duty in a hazardous environment of the confinement inside the nacelle.
Okay, now dear old ‘dangerous dan’ the ‘boss’ of Victoria wants all this luverly offshore wind for Victoria.
Oh good luck with that.
Sailing all of that specialist construction ships, cranes, barges etcetera down from the Northern Hemisphere, That won’t really happen, just quietly, too much money to be made in the Northern Hemisphere, but hey, now just imagine that humungous cost if it was to happen.
Now ….. after reading all of this, recall if you will the fact that wind power is sooooooo much cheaper than all other power generation.
Huh! Lips don’t purse.
Tony.

Essay by Andy May (wuwt) shows a firm belief in the meridional transport theory.
‘Solar activity probably ultimately drives long-term climate change, but in the shorter term, the solar effect is obscured by changes in the meridional transport of energy, which has a lot of drivers.
‘It is the strength of this meridional transport that directly causes global climate changes and the energy it transports provides the energy to change the climate. Variations in solar activity only trigger the changes.
‘Other important factors in natural climate change are climate system inertia, internal ocean variability, and changes in stratospheric ozone and winds. In the very long term, changes in Earth’s orbit play a role.’
60
I’ll add a little more to ponder.
‘The frequency of El Niño events was greatly reduced during the Holocene Climatic Optimum, which ended about 6,500 years ago when the long Neoglacial cooling period began.
‘According to Christopher Moy’s El Niño proxy data, we see that as the world entered the Little Ice Age, the nadir of the Neoglacial Period, the frequency of El Niño’s peaked, then declined as the world got colder. El Niños became very rare in the early 20th century when Moy’s record ends.’ (Andy May)
00
Presumably this means heat transfer from the tropics (hot) toward the poles (cold), crossing the meridians of latitude.
Is it a theory? It seems self evident and there is a lot of evidence for it (and none against that I am aware of).
I am surprised that there are so many supposed drivers. I would have thought that Voldemort’s Law was sufficient explanation.

The Voice Always Was, Always Will Be About Power
60
The Voice is very nasty racist legislation. It is saying to people like Jacinta Price “You go into your little Aboriginal box and behave like we tell you to”.
The only way that the Voice can operate is for all Australians to be classified according to race. When the National Socialists got into power in 1930’s Germany that was the first thing that they did.
I am anti racism, pro inclusivity, anti segregation and anti apartheid so I am going to vote NO!

The Yes vote if upheld, will enable a change to the constitution.
Yet we are not told the exact amendment or addition that will be part of the constitution.
That is dangerous.
Read the 180 pages they provide, Vote yes and the current gov will decide later. Trust them!
You know the same government that promised a $275 decrease in energy bills.
Our politicians on both sides have a tendancy to stretch the truth, both left and right.
I have a hard time trusting any of them.

What most need to know is that the current Government can legislate a “Voice” right now.
Why haven’t they done that already?
If it is so important to our people. They can do it when parliament resumes next month. They don’t need to wait 10 or more months.
The difference is that the current gov is pushing for it to be enshrined in the constitution… Meaning It will be there.. for… a.. very long time.
A future gov will find it nigh on possible to change it.
The High Court of Australia will be empowered. The unelected judges will make the final decisions on cases brought before the court.
Excerpt from their webpage:
“The High Court of Australia is able to deal with cases which come to it on appeal or which begin in the High Court itself.”
“Cases which involve interpretation of the Constitution, or where the Court may be invited to depart from one of its previous decisions, or where the Court considers the principle of law involved to be one of major public importance, are normally determined by a full bench comprising all seven Justices if they are available to sit.”
https://www.hcourt.gov.au/about/operation-of-the-high-court
I deal with courts and legislation. That is part of my day job. I know how it works.
Until there is a transcript provided, including the definitions and the proposed change/addition of wording to the Australian Constitution, I cannot vote yes.
Understand that this is my opinion only….. You will have your own views.
Your vote is your voice. Use it as you wish.
40
With total disregard of the “No” case could the referendum itself withstand legal challenge for not adhering to convention?

Returned home to the Canberra bubble from Dan-land yesterday (sunday 29th) after spending a week in the Dan-denongs. Travelled the Mansfield road heading north through (where the farck is) Yarck, but heading back into Dan-bourne on the other side of the road was a 100 kilometre conga-line of cars, fwd’s, suv’s, caravans, trailers and ski boats travelling bumper-2-bumper at crawling speed.
A quick estimate puts the vehicle count at about 5,000 – 8,000 in the 90 minutes of my driving. The most notable impression (apart from sympathy) was the fact that there were no Teslas sighted. Quite a few hybrids though…

It’s been raining across California for a month. The drought is over. But do you read of this? And even the commentator says ‘a changing climate will lead to more ‘yo-yoing”
So no one can admit that droughts and flooding rains are the norm. Just as in Australia.
This is not the very welcome end of a multi year drought, it’s simply a wet patch between droughts caused by yo-yoing caused by the extra 50% of CO2. And it did not happen before 1850. Of course.
All you get in the Climate News is a litany of man made disasters. But it’s not true.
The upper Colorado snow pack sits at 141% of the median, so the real problem is that the nut jobs in California have let 95% of the rain run into the oceans. Just as in Australia. You cannot imprison fresh water. It is cruel. Apparently.
80
Exactly what is happening. To a tee.

I believe that even during the drought, California would not have had a problem had they not been dumping fresh water into the sea.
Plus they are actually demolishing some dams, to save the planet…
