US TREASURY DAILY STATEMENTS ARE TESTAMENT TO CHAOTIC SPENDING
BIDEN WH AND DNC CONGRESS SPENT $5.92TRIL IN TEN MONTHS
THIS IS WHY FITCH DOWNGRADED US DEBT WITH A NEGATIVE
Wow, so why are we having the worst inflation since Jimmy Carter days?
AS OF AUG 4, 2023
Here are the top seven line items from the withdrawal(spending) side of the P&L and notice Defense is not #1 and neither is Social Security!
TOP SEVEN US TRES OUTLAYS
HHS = $1.63TRIL
SSA =1.02TRIL
OTHER WITHDRAWALS=$527.8BIL
UNCLASSIFIED=$388.2BIL
DEFENSE=$319.2BIL
INTEREST ON DEBT=$303.6BIL
DEPT OF EDUCATION=$201BIL
TOTAL OF TOP SIX SPENDING LINE ITEMS=$4.4TRIL
Your first question would be … Why are nearly $1TRIL in spending listed above as “unclassified or other”? That would be a good question. Maybe that is the main reason Fitch downgraded US Debt. It would be for me!
There’s another 47 other spending line items I did not list. All total for ten months of spending the US government hit …
$5.92TRIL
And we have another two months to go in the fiscal year!
Total taxes collected during that same time period …
$3.9TRIL
Uh oh! Houston we have a problem! Too much spending and not enough taxes. DNC to the rescue right? Who better to tax us all into oblivion than the democrat party? Climate Change Tax and CBDC locked and loaded!
TOTAL UNMITIGATED DISASTER BIDEN WH POLICIES!
The biden idea of hiring another 87,000 IRS agents to make up the difference is a lark. The constant DNC harping on taxing the rich is a joke. Add in the part about going after inheritances is a farce also. Total taxes collected from Estates & Gift over the past seven months is a paltry $19.5BIL. We will only have prosperity with less US government and less taxation. The three years of the Trump policies showed that to be true. I say three years because the pandemic year was an anomaly that nullified that 2020 year economically.
There are so many new agencies and spending line items on the current Aug 4 2023 US Treasury Statement that di not exist three or four years ago. For instance we used to just have one line item for HHS, now we have 14 line items that total $1.63tril.
While everyone is amazed at $1tril in student debt and credit card debt almost nobody cares that our delightful government has spent over $1tril in social security benefits in ten months. The Greatest Generation has passed away and a good deal of the Boomers, helped by the pandemic, yet more spending on social security. We do know the biden WH gave out a 8% COLA raise. Will they now cut COLA by 3% since CPI is down? That’s the fraud part of it all. No politician would every say “cut” social security for fear of losing their precious careers.
One party is the “tax and spend” party and that is the DNC. Vote democrat at your own peril. We need to have a serious debate on government freebie spending! We need to end all US government departments that are duplicated by States. We need to fire half the bureaucracy who have been greasing the skids on more spending for five decades. No more marxism!

Aloha! Righto! In the 1975 I had my first paycheck where I got to see how much they deducted for Social Security and Medicare. I was horrified as I realized I did not net as much as I thought and so I had to look for a second job! I asked my boss and he told me I’d get that money back when I retired in my GOLDEN YEARS! He forgot to tell me the $10 deducted in 1975 wouldn’t buy me more than four gallons of gasoline today! I want my Social Security paid in 1970s dollars. If they did that then my $10 deduction in 1975 would buy me $57.00 today and I could afford a tank of gasoline! Here in Texas gasoline is $0.79US a liter.
In effect the US government and I am sure Oz too have stolen billions from workers due to inflation. Its not only just a “tax” as they say, but its pure 1000% THEFT!

All government employees should have a time limit on their employment with government. It was a smart move to limit presidential terms to a maximum of two. The same should hold for every government employee and voted representative. The Trump experience highlights the value of bringing in people who have not been contaminated by the swamp. Trump’s major failing was underestimating the depth of the swamp. He is now more aware of the depth of the ooze that has accumulated over generations of swamp dwellers.

It’s politicians that should all be limited to two terms. Employees are supposed to do as they are bidden.

THE USA used to use ‘Zero Based Budgeting’ where every Feral Guv’ment Department used to have to do a new budget each year and have it approved by Congress.
Then, they changed the system whereby each Department’s Annual Budget is increased each year by the Annual CPI.
Well guess what? Guv’ment Spending and Debt has exploded since then especially with all those new Programmes since the time of that change..
Not too sure how Australia does it but I bet that it something similar.

Replace all taxes with a transaction tax automatically collected on all payments (transfers) (like a Visa card fee). Payments to companies and businesses – 1%. Payments to individuals – 10%. The point of tax payment being at the companies and businesses – to and from accounts. No exemptions. Nice and simple and effective. No paperwork required. No taxation returns. You would save a massive amount of money.

..and ban cash to make it work. The UN have been pushing for the Tobin Tax for decades, they know how it brings in trillions of dollars at the stroke of a pen. Are you sure you don’t work in a Govt Dept Kim? Got any other good leaks on what is coming up?

I am attending the CPAC conference in Sydney and it is excellent. There were numerous excellent speakers, the only unworthy one being the Federal Shadow Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Ted O’Brien. The instant he used the phrase “decarbonise” (sic) the economy” and talked about a “future for his children” it was obvious he was a dud. He is clearly a “true believer”. He spoke mainly about how he supported nuclear power, primariy small modular reactors and even smaller so-called nuclear batteries.
Nuclear is fine, but so is coal and gas which he obviously didn’t support but at least he said that coal power stations shouldn’t be destroyed until there is viable replacements. So he dies have slightly more of a clue than the Government. Econimicscalone should decide whether nuclear or fossil fuels are decided in any particular situation.
It was however a mistake inviting him as all other speakers were excellent.
Jacinta Price also spoke, her speech in Parliament opposing the apartheid The Voice was censored (removed) by Facebook. And CPAC’s Facebook page opposing The Voice is blurred and no doubt its “reach” and visibility is reduced. Warren Mundine also spoke on The Voice and other matters.
Various woke companies including Qantas and BHP have given $30 million to the Yes vote for Apartheid. The No vote proponents have essentially no finding.
Alan Jones was the last speaker for Saturday’s session and was outstanding.

Beware of greens pivoting to nuclear, they will see nuclear as the ultimate weapon to bury fossil fuels and electrify everything, justifying the eye-watering expense of rewiring of the nation to get all the wind and solar projects connected.
It also enables them to perpetuate the climate fraud and the phobia about plant food and the carbon atom (the basis of life on earth).
They especially want to ban gas and take away our gas stoves, without bothering to notice that gas is a feedstock for important industrial processes.
They will do their best to bury oil as well despite the role that 6000 products of petrochemical industry play in our lives.
For more on the petrochemical industry see the fourth link in this blog post on changing the narrative and the game.

Yes, Nuclear is the path to centralisation of energy supply, and centralisation of power.
60
And coal generation of electricity 20 years ago (pre roof top solar panels) was not absolute centralization of power?
And the costs of having an off grid system (outside the cities) has become competitive with attaching to the grid unless the power line is already through or next to your property.
11
When there’s no gas and no petrol cars?
10
Although it invariably is, Nuclear doesn’t have to be centralised in one or two massive, overpriced facilities. A decentaralised/localised approach based on SMRs would enable cost effective supply of baseline power needs. And, strategically it could provide a more secure power infrastructure that is more easily maintainable and upgradeable.
20
Rafe. I still think most people believe the Greens are just a fringe party that want to protect the trees and the animals. They do not realise the Greens descended from the East German Communist Party and are committed to the eventual subjugation of the world to a communist state. They are evil personnified and are never to be trusted. The fact that Labor falls over itself to placate their madness should tell people that the ALP cannot be trusted either. Both are very left wing and believe the collective has more rights than the individual which should frighten the cr*p out of every thinking person.

Did any speakers acknowledge that the climate will continue to warm until net greenhouse gas emissions are reduced to zero or does the denial of scientific fact continue?
Meanwhile, highly improbable weather continues as all of British Columbia is in a state of emergency from fires as Baja and California is hit by a hurricane that could deposit a whole year’s rainfall in just a few days.
359
No Simon, it was and is (ongoing) a reason-based, freedom-oriented, rational and science-based conference. No such junk science was entertained. It wasn’t even mentioned by the one dud speaker, Ted O’Brien whom I mentioned, and an apparent “true believer” just like you.
And on the topic of “acknowledgement”, no fictitious “welcome to country” ceremony either. Most people were born in Australia or naturalised citizens and therefore indigenous to Australia and don’t have to be welcomed to their own country, which of course, is logically absurd anyway.
520
FYI.
“In Curry’s view, the recent warming in spring/summer 2023 is associated with a spike in heat flows at the top of the atmosphere. The warming is said to reflect an increase in incoming shortwave radiation – essentially the sun is a bit brighter – a decrease in high level cloudiness, the impact of reduced ship sulphate aerosols, reduced snow and ice extent and the Hunga Tonga eruption that propelled 13% extra water vapour into the stratosphere.”

As the speakers are all but not idiots they won’t acknowledge false information not based on scientific facts.
Unfortunately you are not able to learn and to understand what real scientific facts are 😀

Do these dimwits realise that even if you could lower CO2 to whatever level they deem ‘safe’, there’s still water vapour in the atmosphere.
170
Ronin >”there’s still water vapour in the atmosphere”
And WV is by far the “dominant” GHG:

CO2 is a bit player. Simon goes into denial when confronted with actual science like this.
Best example is Darwin. Total Ld fluctuates around 400 W m-2 24/7 but CO2 only contributes less than 7.5 W m-2 (0.0189) of that.
60
Yes. . . and do they realize that the Tongan ‘undersea volcano’ released a massive quantity of water vapour into the upper atmosphere? Enough to raise the normal level in the stratosphere by 10-30 percent.
Since the levels are projected to be elevated for at least a couple of years, that MUST have an impact on our weather, outside of whatever mankind is doing.
But that impact will be studiously ignored by the BBC (or CNN). So their dumbed-down audience will continue to be told everything bad is the fault of Climate Change — that’s every wildfire, “the Hottest Month Ever!”, every flood, every hurricane….
80
C van C >’But that impact will be studiously ignored by the BBC (or CNN)”
BBC and CNN so far but how much longer can they hold out?
One AP article, by Seth Borenstein no less, went against the grain (after obligatory burning of coal, oil and natural gas statement):
Scientists look beyond climate change and El Nino for other factors that heat up Earth
https://apnews.com/article/hot-summer-climate-change-el-nino-9c5151f2fca2cd77d92a1c7bc61a0035
That AP article even made it to ABC (US) and One News (NZ). Also Yahoo News and numerous smaller press outlets. Axios had a similar article.
Even MICHAEL E. MANN linked to the article

And water in clouds, in plants, and in oceans and lakes and rivers.
And water does its three phase magic taking up some as it goes from solid to vapour, and giving it out as goes into reverse. Might it not be that those phase changes are more significant than any radiative effect it has?
Is the label “Green house gas” really applicable to H2O?
20
California had an unprecedented drought in the 1300s. It lasted about 200 years. National Geographic did a feature on it in the 1960s before the GW scam dessolved their collective brains. How did they determine the length of the drought you ask? Well they studied the tree rings of the trees that were found still rooted to the bottom of a river. i.e. they had time to grow in the streambed and mature before rains returned and drowned them. I believe there was a similar long lived drought here in Australia about that time. Might have had something to do with climate change and before Henry Ford and Bayswater. To think that the climate changes all by itself. Marvellous.
140
That drought or previous is likely what caused the demise of Anasazi Native Americans.

When reality finally catches up with the climate alarmists and loons:
https://va.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_rz2yb1K7X21w5pr9j.mp4

Did any speakers acknowledge that none of the warmist claims have actually happened? Or, does the denial of history continue?
Meanwhile, no AGW hustlers have historically claimed, or proven, in 84 years, why California might have excessive rains because of a hurricane that hasn’t happened in almost 100 years.
Simon, your Church needs a new Liturgy as the old one has failed the test of time and provenance. Good luck with your climate dice and failed predictions as well as nonsensical attribution and association. It must be difficult to wake up each day and wait for the collective to inform your mind exactly what to think and why the conflicts with yesterday’s truths are explainable by today’s truths. I’d call that mushbrain avoidance of reality, a Faith in the ignorance of the GateKeepers. Have it your way. G’day.

If we accept the notion that atmospheric carbon dioxide drives the Earth’s climate and temperature, we must also agree that the current measured CO2 1evel is 420 ppm, having increased from 300 ppm in 250 years since the industrial revolution.
While this represents a 40 % increase, when it is applied to the tiny amount of CO2 in Earth’s atmospheric it is an almost unmeasurable increase in quantity.
For example 420 ppm (molecules per million in air) is exactly the same as 42 molecules in 100,000 or 4.2 molecules in 10,000 or ONE MOLECULE of CO2 in 2,381 molecules of air.
Climate activists claim that this single ONE molecule in 2,381 drives the Earth’s climate, temperature, bushfires, sea levels, polar bear numbers, and anything politicians can blame on klimate Change. I disagree.

Indeed.
To the nearest one-tenth of one percent, there is … wait for it … Zero CO2 in our atmosphere.

The climate will continue to warm, if it is warming, until it starts to cool. Then it will continue to cool until it starts to warms. From time to time
it gets very cold and we have an ice age. Then, for some reason, the ice melts, and we have a warmet period. During that period the climate sometimes sgets
warmer, and sometimes gets cooler. I see no difference in result from those who pretend to be able to manage the climate today from those who threw virgins into
volcanos.

Simon, surely with your scientific and statistical knowledge you can plainly see that given the vast multitude of variables which affect wildfire frequency and intensity, that those measures cannot be an indication of anything useful at all?
And, that comment on one storm is equaly meaningless?

I wrote to Minister O’Brien and asked him to explain ” decarbonisation ” to me. Still waiting for a reply. I also asked him why he was getting his knickers in a twist over a trace gas that promotes plant growth.

If more people did what you have done Glenn there would be an awakening among at least some politicians. David Gillespie is my local member and I keep him in the Jo Nova loop. He often writes to thank me for the information. The basic trouble is that these members are being advised by know nothings straight out of university with a degree in stupid.

I will make sure my local (Federal) member gets the same query.

Australians, remember the expression of surprise, “By Jove”? It is an old English expression once used in Australia and with origins in the 14th century in England, and a part of a Romam oath in Latin to the god Jupiter before that. You rarely hear it these days. Shakespeare used it in Love’s Labors Lost, 1588: “By Jove, I always took three threes for nine.”
I’m not sure of its former use in other Anglo countries.
60
I certainly regularly use the phrase ‘by Jove’ It was much used by Bertie Wooster often when talking to Jeeves
70
“By Jove, I always took three threes for nine.”
And the report of the two unemployed Irish brothers who were looking for and were disappointed to see one opportunity needed “tree fellers”. So they never applied.

At the CPAC conference I was very impressed to meet other conservatives and fellow rational thinkers to realise there are a LOT of us out there, not just the conservatives on this blog and in the minor parties like United Australia Party, Liberal Democrats and One Nation.
I was also impressed that both speakers and attendees understood the deeper issues. All except for Ted O’Brien, as I noted above. I’m not sure how he managed to slip through.
In fact, there are probably enough of us to swing an election if only we had enough worthy people to vote for.

The Left know there are a LOT of us.
That’s why they are more desperate than ever to implement censorship and people-cancellation policies.

Here’s the post I put up last night about how few people it takes to influence others with the truth-
“Thankyou Ian. The Solomon Asch experiments were fascinating- If you put one subject person in a room with seven actors who are all paid to agree that something obviously false is true, the non-actor will agree with the consensus due to unmentioned peer pressure on an average of 60% of the times.
However, if only one other person said the rubbish was rubbish, the subjects that agreed with the consensus fell to 5%.
Turning the herd is why irascible, non-conforming, don’t-give-a-damm old farts are so important, and so hated by those in power.”

As long as the elected get plenty of support and as long as they can think and are prepared to listen then it shouldn’t be so much of a problem.

David,
A while back I went to a speaker night with (State) lib candidates and their position was “because so many people believe in it we have to pay lip service to it” . If they didn’t have double standards they would have no standards at all. Political jokes the lot of them. I hope you and the speakers are enjoying their last unfettered speeches. The indigenous issue just creates apartheid…. literally .

The Labor Party has the numbers, with or without their Green partners to pass the censorship bill.
Since the Labor faction of the Uniparty all vote in unison as the mindless drones they are, the only hope is that enough Labor members see that this bill might one day be used against them if they are ever removed from power.
And never forget it was the Liberal faction of the Uniparty that first initiated this bill under the Morrison Regime.

PyConAU, a conference about the programming language, Python is on between August 18-22 in Adelaide.
Not being there, I watched a few minutes of a session they published on YouTube, and it was….insufferable.
First, they had their usual pointless acknowledgement about being on “stolen” land, then they started going on about having to wear masks unless on stage. I genuinely checked to see if it was from the 2023 conference. I had no idea such things were still in place.
https://youtu.be/P7wpGJqtOOk
Their website is similarly disappointing and hypocritical, with a “enforced code of conduct”, and an “everyone is welcome” message. dont forget also, the use of “gender neutral greetings”.
https://2023.pycon.org.au/about/culture/
It’s amazing how easily they take something that could be fun and educational, and just crush the spirit right out of it within a few short minutes. Some of the sessions look interesting, but I don’t hold out too much hope.

This Well Known Effect Breaks the Climate Narrative
10
He still thinks there is a “Greenhouse Effect” that alters the energy balance. So only half right.
It is quite obvious when looking at weather around the globe today that ocean temperature cannot sustain a level above 30C. All the regions that have convective instability going into overdrive like Hilary off Baja and the numerous cyclonic events in the west Pacific, Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea a few months back all occurred over 30C warm pools. Once convection is in overdrive it rips about 4C out of the ocean surface temperature.
The primary control on heat uptake on Earth is the open ocean sustainable surface temperature limit of 30C. Sure there is more ocean surface getting to 30C as the peak solar intensity moves into the NH and there will be a lot more getting to 30C but none of this is influenced by CO2 in a measurable way. The influence of CO2 is its carbon contribution to the atmospheric mass and would shift the regulating temperature limit a few thousands of a degree so average even less..

WHO designates Covid-19 variant BA.2.86 as a ‘variant under monitoring’
World Health Organization (WHO) designated COVID-19 variant BA.2.86 as a ‘variant under monitoring’ due to the large number of mutations it carries.
The WHO said on Friday that they are tracking 3 variants of interest and 7 variants under monitoring at the moment.
Recently, the latest variant, EG.5 (also known as Eris), has grabbed the attention of public health experts around the world and is becoming a dominant strain in countries including the United States and Britain.
The variant is causing about 17 per cent of the new Covid-19 cases in the country compared to 16 per cent for the next most common lineage, XBB.1.16, according to the latest estimates from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CNN reported.

Sunday morning sickness (subtle pun) : Pregnant Dad Explains Why He Chose To Be A Surrogate For Himself

Maxwell (@ledpaintsoup) is already a father of two and carried his children himself. His third pregnancy is no exception, and in a video that has been viewed over 380,000 times, he is shutting down those who are rudely assuming that he cannot carry a pregnancy since he is a man.

Sunday early bird extra special freebie: The fourth turning is here
Twenty-five years ago, Neil Howe and the late William Strauss dazzled the world with a provocative new theory of American history. Looking back at the last 500 years, they’d uncovered a distinct pattern: modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting roughly eighty to one hundred years, the length of a long human life, with each cycle composed of four eras—or “turnings”—that always arrive in the same order and each last about twenty years. The last of these eras—the fourth turning—was always the most perilous, a period of civic upheaval and national mobilization as traumatic and transformative as the New Deal and World War II, the Civil War, or the American Revolution.
Now, right on schedule, our own fourth turning has arrived. And so Neil Howe has returned with an extraordinary new prediction. What we see all around us—the polarization, the growing threat of civil conflict and global war—will culminate by the early 2030s in a climax that poses great danger and yet also holds great promise, perhaps even bringing on America’s next golden age. Every generation alive today will play a vital role in determining how this crisis is resolved, for good or ill.

So people are finding the cost of living far more important than the cost of climate change:
https://www.theage.com.au/politics/federal/cost-of-living-crisis-drives-slump-in-support-for-urgent-climate-action-20230816-p5dwx7.html
“Fewer than half of Australians consider climate change to be an urgent problem that requires immediate action even if it comes at a cost, as economic pressures dominate voters’ concerns, adding to the federal government’s challenge in pursuing its emissions reduction agenda.”
“just 12 per cent of voters nominated the environment and climate as their top priority, on par with health and aged care, while 48 per cent said keeping cost of living low was their primary concern.”
“mounting pressures on household budgets driven by high inflation and rising power bills appear to be outstripping environmental concerns in voters’ minds.”
And they keep blaming the war on the Ukraine for high energy bills:
“Instead, power prices have soared due to a global energy crunch caused by Russia’s war on Ukraine” I said in a comment elsewhere that, that war gets blamed for a lot of thinks, wont be long and it will be responsible for climate change and the fire in Hawaii,
Our high energy bills have noting to do with that war, it may have pushed up gas prices, but not much else. It’s our free energy from renewables that’s done that.

“The messages that male toiletries send in relation to ideas of masculinity are in need of reassessment. Why do we persist with imagery of the outdoor bloke who is tough and strong and physical?

No wonder the Russians are winning! Even the mainstays of the military-industrial complex, the New York Times and The Washington Post are now admitting Russia is winning and its time for talks. It seems the Ukies are risk-averse to dying needlessly for America and instead are using Himars missiles & artillery shells faster than the USA can make them.
““American officials say they fear that Ukraine has become casualty averse, one reason it has been cautious about pressing ahead with the counteroffensive.
The Washington Post cited anonymous “U.S. and Western officials” to report that the massive losses Ukraine has been suffering in this counteroffensive had been “anticipated” in war games ahead of time, but that they had “envisioned Kyiv accepting the casualties as the cost of piercing through Russia’s main defensive line.””
Looks like they are getting the public ready to abandon those cowardly Ukrainians and walk out of the country leaving a smoking ruin.. On to China folks, ‘The West are at war with China, we have always been at war with China!” or whatever George Orwell said.

Is El Nino 2023 a fizzer?
Some months back I observed a 30C warm pool off the west coast of Panama that has now progressed northward to Mexico and into the Gulf of California.
This warm pool is diverging cooler low to mid level air from the south west and preventing the El Nino from forming across the equator. The water temperature in the Nino34 region peaked in July.
The warm pool has spawned four cyclones now. One of those influenced the conditions that intensified the Maui grass fire. The latest is named Hilary and heading for Baja. The Gulf of California has high atmospheric moisture so could now track east over the Gulf:
https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/overlay=total_precipitable_water/orthographic=-82.18,22.08,623/loc=-111.705,27.247
Note there is also a cyclone developing off Africa that will likely head west to the Caribbean and Florida.
We are getting a better glimpse of the future of the NH this year than I have seen this century. The shifting peak solar intensity is beginning to make a difference. The atmospheric water over the NH could very well peak in September this year. Give it a month to find its way over the land and it will arrive just as much of the land surface falls below 0C. I expect more record snowfalls this year.
The northwest Pacific is also reaching impressive temperature. The water east of Japan at 37N is just under 30C. There is a band of 30C warm pools stretching from the equator to 30N near Japan.
https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/ocean/surface/level/overlay=sea_surface_temp/orthographic=-215.55,21.31,623/loc=142.894,37.003
To put 30C at 37N in perspective for open ocean, I live near 37S just north of Bass Strait. I have never seen Bass Strait warmer than 20C.
The peak solar intensity in the NH has only been increasing for a few hundred years. It has 10,000 years of warming to come. It is already having a significant impact on climate in the NH. Meanwhile the SH is getting less sunlight. The solar EMR at the South Pole has dropped 7W/m^2 below it summer solstice peak of 566W/m^2, 2,600 years back:
http://vo.imcce.fr/webservices/miriade/proxy.php?file=http://145.238.217.35//tmp/insola/insolaout6p3Exb&format=text
The Southern Ocean continues its cooling trend. Sunlight over central Australia is yet to peak but a sustained cooling trend is not far off. The Southern States will experience that first.

Resveratrol Revisited: Protecting DNA and a SARS-CoV-2 Antiviral/Spike Protein Injury Therapeutic
Resveratrol continues to impress. It is a nutraceutical which has, deservedly, garnered a lot of attention recently due to its wide range of hypothesized and proven beneficial effects in treating human disease.
Resveratrol is a nutraceutical with several therapeutic effects. It has been shown to mimic effects of caloric restriction, exert anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects, and affect the initiation and progression of many diseases through several mechanisms.
Please note that these effects have independently been proven to contribute to beneficial outcomes in SARS-CoV-2/Spike Protein disease. Therefore, it is immensely logical to conclude that any therapeutic which enhances these outcomes would be desirable.
Given the DNA damage that the Spike Protein has been shown to cause, the ability of Resveratrol to activate SIRT1 is significant as a prophylactic and therapeutic for Spike Protein injury. It also shows great benefit via regulating cellular senescence, endothelial functions and circadian rhythms. Again, all dysregulated by the Spike Protein.

US Seeks ‘License’ to Encircle Russia, China, With ‘Offensive Strategic Bio-labs’
Documents uncovered during Moscow’s special operation in Ukraine have revealed that the US was deploying an extensive biological research program there, spending more than $200 million on 46 biological laboratories researching highly dangerous pathogens. Russia, China, and some EU states are still waiting for Washington’s answers on these biolabs.
The new Pentagon report claiming that America is facing “expanding biological threats” from its foreign adversaries is no more than an attempt “to seek license” for the US to continue developing offensive strategic bio-labs in countries that surround Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, Scott Bennett, a former State Department counterterrorism analyst, told Sputnik.
“These labs will be used to develop bio weapons that target specific DNA and genetic vulnerabilities of people of Slavic, Asian, and Persian-Hindu descent. Of course the external cover explanation for the purpose of these labs will be as ‘defensive’ or ‘proactive’ countermeasures against the bio weapon development of other nations the American government defines as ‘uncooperative’, or ‘unyielding’, or ‘hostile’ to being an American vassal or slave state,” Bennett said.

The humanoid robot that can safely pilot an airplane better than a human
The robot’s memory is so large that it can memorise all Jeppesen navigation charts, a task that is impossible for human pilots.
Both artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics have made significant strides in recent years, meaning most human jobs could soon be overtaken by technology – on the ground and even in the skies above us.
A team of engineers and researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) is currently developing a humanoid robot that can fly aircraft without needing to modify the cockpit.
“Pibot is a humanoid robot that can fly an aeroplane just like a human pilot by manipulating all the single controls in the cockpit, which is designed for humans,” David Shim, an associate professor of electrical engineering at KAIST, told Euronews Next.

My company, rather, the Australian arm of the company that employs me, has a “Reconciliation” committee. There are about 10 members, only 2, maybe 3 of whom are Australian, and none are Aboriginal.
I’m not entirely sure what they are supposed to achieve, but I imagine there is an employment quota there somewhere. I also feel it’s another sign of the bigotry of low expectations, and all the other inherent problems associated with focusing on physical traits instead of hiring/promoting on merit and aptitude.
Meanwhile, they shamelessly use a large expat workforce, likely paying them less than the Award rate, often bringing them in on student visas instead of some sort of skilled worker visas, and not informing them that they can join a union if they want to (not that the union is useful, but they should legally still be told it exists). (If I had hard evidence of this, it’d be reported, but alas, I do not, as the employees are still getting paid more than working in their home countries, and will not rock the boat).

Dutch dairy farm gets raided by government.
Link (in Dutch):
Google translation:
I have a strong and sad message: Our dairy farm Kolhorn Dairy farm is on the nomination to be shot by the government. – We are a peak loader, ie too polluting for the Veluwe at a distance of 25 km – PAS reporter ie our environmental permit has been taken away because according to the government they should not have given it 11 years ago. Legally obtained according to all procedures, but that no longer applies. – PAS reporter from before 2015, so we are no longer eligible for legalization. This week we had a consultant from the ministry visit to find out how they want to buy us up . We may be able to get a bag of money but the conditions are catastrophic for our wonderful company. It will have to be broken down to the last stone and we can no longer be farmers for here and for the whole of Europe. Selling the company without this arrangement is also impossible for dairy farming because we are illegal and peak loaders. No bank finances it for a buyer. The buy-out arrangement is on a voluntary basis, it is emphasized. But what does that mean if you’re standing in the corner with the gun pointed at you and you can’t move? Voluntary in our case means we get to ask when they pull the trigger. Our company : – one of the most beautiful in the Netherlands – on the most fertile soil in Europe in the Flevopolder – green label built with all permits legally obtained. – modern – durable – working efficiently – animal friendly And a film of our company has been taken abroad several times by the king and queen as an example of a company based on innovation, efficiency, sustainability and animal friendliness. Now this same government wants to wipe out our company with a stroke of the pen and really pull the noose on us as livestock farmers. We are devastated and don’t know what to do at this point

Paul,
How disheartening, and shocking.
I understand you cannot farm in Europe, after taking what the Government will graciously offer you.
Is there anywhere else?
Argentina [seems there might be a brief interlude of sanity there after the last primary]?
The UK is in the grip of the watermelons – green outside, but a concealed bright communist red inside.
It has an illegal – and murderous – invader, but might Ukraine – non-EU – be a possibility in a year or two?
Thinking of your troubles.

To clarify, this is not about me but about a dairy farmer in Biddinghuizen. I am Dutch and live in Australia and a good friend in the Netherlands pointed me to this post.
Here’s the link to the original Facebook post (in Dutch):

After championing renewables for a long time, the AEMO is set to issue its 10-year outlook soon, which will flag its concerns about energy supply and the increasing risks of blackouts.
South Australia, the poster child for renewables, is said to have the highest of running out of power, perhaps by 2024.

The list below shows those important measurements that we have available for the next Ice Age shift to occur in the 2050s
1. The carbon 14 historic isotope ratios produced by Solar cosmic reflux certify fundamentally that the sun is a variable Star.
2. The Beryllium 10 historic isotope ratios, also produced by Solar cosmic reflux certify that Solar cosmic reflux changes with Solar activity.
3. The statistics of sunspot numbers certify that solar activity has peaked in the 1960s, leveled off, and is now fast diminishing.
4. Our the measured magnetic pole drift certifies that the entire Solar system dynamics are diminishing.
5. The collapsing Solar wind pressure measurements by the Ulysses satellite certified that the solar system is heading towards its first major phase shift in the 2030s when the Solar wind potentially stops.
6. The increase in cosmic reflux measurements, which also had been measured by the Ulysses Spacecraft, certify that the diminishing Solar activity is real.
7. Of the neutron density measurements by the Moscow Neutron Monitor certify that the cosmic ray increase that Ulysses had measured up to 2008 still continues and still continues at the same rate of increase.
8. The Solar Radio Flux measurements, such as we have measured by the Dominion Observatory in Canada, certify that the Solar activity collapse is momentously ongoing as if the sun was dying back to a low activity level.
9. The diminishing periodic warming cycles that we have measured in ice cores certify that the interglacial period is nearing its termination threshold.
10. The diminishing grand Solar minimum cycles that have been measured in numerous ways certify that a recovery of the now ongoing Solar collapse is not possible. The diminishing cycles measurements certify that the dynamics that have rescued us from the previous Little Ice Age have themselves diminished into insignificance.
11. The slowing heartbeat of the Solar cycles certified that the end of the interglacial Sun is not far off.
12. The delayed and missing magnetic polarity reversals in the polar regions of the Sun certify that the slowing heartbeat of the Solar system has a deep connection with the fading plasma streams that power our Sun externally as a plasma Star.
We have none of these types of hard and fast measurements available to support the planetary plasma core theory (i.e., The bare Sun). Nevertheless, the circumstantial evidence that we do have for the plasma core theory is so numerous that the plasma core theory may be regarded as an extension of the list.
But why should we let it come that far to the point of our self-extinction on any front? We have the power to respond on the whole front and build a gigantic new world in an ice-age renaissance setting. This can be easily created by us simply raising up the recognized value of our humanity as the tallest and most creative and productive species of life on the planet in terms of the capabilities that we have and what we can accomplish with them as human beings.

Is This The Real Reason “Eris” Cases Are Spiking?
Eris – the most recent “Covid variant” – is supposedly causing spikes in cases all over the world.
The story goes that England, Ireland and US are all being hit hard, it’s reached Australia too.
In yet another blow to the “BRICS will save us” crowd, India and China are playing along.
“Scientists” are even clamoring for the return of masks.
We’ve already been over everything you need to know about “Eris” here. Long story short, “Covid” is just another made up name for the flu, and the “variants” are coats of paint they slap on the narrative to try and keep it looking fresh.
In that same article I theorised Eris’ existence was a need to keep Covid alive, and that is part of it…but I also missed something obvious: The next round of Covid “vaccines” hits the shelves next month.
This “updated vaccine” is nothing to do with Eris, of course, as much as the language in the headlines implies it’s been “adapted” for the latest variant, it hasn’t.
You have to appreciate the huge amount of effort that went into hypnotizing millions – maybe billions – of people into acting against their own best interests, it’s a spell that’s easier to maintain than restart.

Put those worthless masks on and get your Deagel-shots .
It’s for the good of the planet!
Sheeple first…obviously.
