European countries targeted by Chinese cyber attacks
https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/brussels-slow-to-react-to-chinese-cyberattacks/
I become ever more concerned about the way all of society seems to roll over and accept digital supremacy in almost every facet of life. The world is likely to end not in a bang or a whimper but by our essential services being taken down by cyber terrorists and we seem to just shrug our shoulders.
180
Absolutely.
Without electricity/Internet we lose the ability to access our money, the means to buy fuel, the ability to buy and prepare food and the ability to heat our homes.
More and more we are placing all our eggs in one basket. As well as potential attacks by enemies, we are prone to life threatening risks from solar storms and power network failures. This, IMO, is a real matter of national security, but what are ‘they’ doing about it ?
200
We seem to be sleepwalking into a digital nightmare. In the UK over the last 2 weeks we have had major payment issues due to software updates at our 2 largest supermarkets. Another supermarket couldn’t pay its employees due to a payroll meltdown. McDonalds and Greggs-our largest bakers couldn’t take orders or payments, one of our major banks last year blocked the accounts of millions of customers as the IT system failed. In addition EV’s are mobile pieces of software that can be remotely tampered with. Customer names are routinely hacked from company data banks.
Add in numerous times when shops can’t take digital money nor accept cash, digital id’s, digital health systems and soon the analogue world won’t exist. We are making ourselves so vulnerable on a mass scale to digital faults, whether accidental, deliberate or via nature, with such as a Carrington event.

SFA that’s what. Time to head for the hills and to live off the land away from the Big Cities IMHO.

Australia is close to having a legislated national digital identity scheme with the federal government winning support for its bill in the Senate after approving 43 amendments. The Digital ID Bill 2023 passed the Senate on Wednesday night by 33 votes to 26 with the support of the Greens and the crossbench.
How times have changed and how Labor have become the Enemy of the People.
The Australia Card was a proposal for a national identification card for Australian citizens and resident foreigners. The proposal was made in 1985, and abandoned in 1987.
The idea for the card was raised at the national Tax Summit in 1985 convened by the then Federal Labor government led by Bob Hawke
Due to his opposition to the card, ALP senator George Georges resigned from the party to sit as an independent in December 1986. In the House of Representatives, ALP backbencher Lewis Kent said the card was un-Australian and that it would be more appropriate to call it a “Hitlercard or Stalincard”.
Specifically, the bill contained clauses that imposed penalties on businesses that failed to require a person to produce their Australia Card, or authorised the freezing of bank account and social security payments for those who did not produce one.
200
Only voluntary to have the card at the moment, as I understand it. This Digital ID will be a mecca for all those computer hackers/scammers. Thanks but NO THANKS.
110
Was involved in the initial discussions and had to give a presentation to the parliamentary committee. It turned out that govt departments were already exchanging personal information without any authority to do so, and eventually the Tax ID partially functioned as a de facto Aust Card. I’m guessing that sufficient exchanges of personal information have now reached a level where adding an ID card wouldn’t change the situation.

“The global climate system represents a multifaceted system, involving sun, planets, atmosphere, oceans, land, geological processes, biological life, and complex interactions between them. Many components and their mutual coupling are still not fully understood or perhaps not even recognised.
Believing that one minor constituent of the atmosphere (CO2) controls nearly all aspects of climate is naïve and entirely unrealistic. The global climate has remained in a quasi-stable condition within certain limits for millions of years, although with important variations playing out over periods ranging from years to centuries, or more, but the global climate has never been in a fully stable state without change. Modern observations show that this normal behaviour is also characterising recent years, including 2023, and there is no observational evidence for any global climate crisis.”

I commented here a couple of days ago about the persistence of the so called ozone hole. NASA, who I correspond with, say its just temporary but the date for the “holes” elimination seems to get pushed back.
https://dailysceptic.org/2024/03/28/record-ozone-holes-reported-despite-35-year-cfc-ban/
I once had a conversation with the Max Plank institute and Cambridge University asking whether the hole could always have been there but instrumentation to record it only became available in the 1950’s. They confirmed it could have been but by that time they were on board with the theory and stated they thought it was due to refrigerants.
I see no reason why the hole hasn’t always existed just like climate change and regular warming and cooling has also been around for ever. As I know from my meetings with the Met office there is very much a crowd effect, once a critical mass of scientists believe something, then most of the rest will follow in a herd mentality. To try to dissuade them otherwise proves impossible.
Whatever happened to the motto of the Royal Society “take nobody’s word as final” as these days the belief seems to be that the science is settled and no more debate is needed.

If the science is settled and no more debate needed, then NO MORE MONEY. Simple really.

“face masks”
With COVID-19 cases running out of control in North Dakota in mid-November, Gov. Doug Burgum intervened, installing a statewide mask mandate. A month and a half later, the state’s pandemic status was nearly unrecognizable: Active virus cases have descended from more than 10,000 at the time of the mandate to fewer than 2,000 today.
But neighboring South Dakota, which had vied with North Dakota for the worst-in-the-nation per capita metrics for much of October and November, has experienced a similarly remarkable turnaround, and without any significant state-level intervention.

“Easter”
In English-speaking languages and Germany, some historians have argued the word derives from a pagan springtime goddess called Ēostre, who is documented by an Anglo-Saxon monk who wrote during the 8th century AD. Ēostre was a goddess celebrated with a festival during the spring equinox and according to some scholars, her association with hares is the origin of the Easter Bunny story.
Rabbits and hares have long been an ancient symbol of fertility and life, given their prolific ability to procreate. They are the perfect icons for spring and all that it represents. However, it took until the 17th century before a German tradition about an Easter hare, known as the Osterhase, which delivered eggs to good children caught on. The softer, more amenable looking bunny eventually replaced the hare as the tradition spread across the U.S. via German immigrants during the 1700s.
The pre-Christian ancient world is filled with stories of resurrection around spring. One of the world’s oldest civilisations, the Sumer who lived in southern Mesopotamia (modern southern Iraq), inscribed a story of their goddess Inanna onto a clay tablet some two thousand years before Christ.
The story goes that Inanna descended into the underworld to find her recently deceased husband. There she was killed before being brought back to life by other gods. She was permitted to return to the world as the sun for six months before having to descend into the underworld once again during the winter for a further six months. It is perhaps the first ancient story of resurrection and rebirth centred on spring.

Since the 70s, I have – sometimes – sent cards in December … Xmas season .. that read –
“Many Happy Returns of the Unconquered Sun”.
Not the same as Ēostre, I agree.
But a highlighting of the seasons, that at least some of our populations appear not to appreciate.

“Officialdom Responds to Doubts That a Renewables-Based Electricity System Will Work”
“The single biggest problem with the Left’s “climate” agenda is that the proposed response to the alleged crisis — replacement of fossil fuels in the energy system with intermittent wind-and-sun-based electricity generation — is not going to work. This is obvious to anyone who considers the subject seriously for any amount of time. Yet any mention of this issue has been almost completely banished from the mainstream media, from academia, from government, and from social media. It remains to a few lonely voices (such as, here in New York, myself, Roger Caiazza, and Ken Girardin of the Empire Center) to keep the subject in the public consciousness.
As small and lonely as our voices may be, somehow we must be getting under their skin. We know that because increasingly officialdom feels a need to respond publicly to our criticisms. But how can they give a plausible response, given that we are absolutely right and a wind-and-sun-based electricity system is never going to work? Easy! — Just treat the public like morons. Give answers that don’t make any sense while appealing to apparent authority, and expect the public to accept the answers without asking probing questions.”

To make unreliable wind and solar work in Australia without Coal and Gas back-up but relying on battery back-up would cost around $6 to $10 TRILLION.
So it will never happen.
But Bowen and other “Green” idiots are eager to blow-up our remaininng coal fired power stations before there is a viable solution to the back-up problem for weather and day/night dependent “renewables”.

“To make unreliable wind and solar work in Australia without Coal and Gas back-up but relying on battery back-up would cost around $6 to $10 TRILLION.”
Further, much further, from the Sun – in the UK, all, that is … ALL, of which is north of Winnipeg, Canada – I suggest the amount of money would be at least that number of pounds.
And very likely more – if we wish to be certain we can survive [yes, survive] a fortnight of Dunkelflaute in any 30 days.
So, I think, a minimum of 10,000,000 million pounds.
At least partially ‘spelling out’ with numbers, may, possibly, allow our Arts graduates an insight into the amount of money needed.
An amount we cannot get near to having … even if cO2 was a real problem.
Plant food, of course, is NOT a problem.

Do the Climate Gods care whether CO2 is produced from wood or coal?
Does only CO2 produced from burning wood get taken up by re-forrested areas with that produced from burning coal left like an orphan on the steps of the church?
The burning of biomass to produce electricity is marketed as clean and renewable, and promoted by federal policies. But a recent report concludes that burning wood is more “polluting” than burning coal.
More than 70 wood-burning plants are under construction or have been built in the U.S. since 2005, with 75 more planned, according to the analysis by the nonprofit Partnership for Public Integrity.
For every megawatt-hour of electricity produced, even the “cleanest” of the American biomass plants pump out nearly 50 percent more carbon dioxide than coal-burning plants, PFPI staff researcher Mary Booth, a former Environmental Working Group scientist, concluded after poring over data associated with 88 air emissions permits. The biomass plants also produce more than twice as much nitrogen oxide, soot, carbon monoxide, and volatile organic matter as coal plants.

Albert Einstein colorfully dismissed quantum entanglement—the ability of separated objects to share a condition or state—as “spooky action at a distance.” Over the past few decades, however, physicists have demonstrated the reality of spooky action over ever greater distances—even from Earth to a satellite in space.
As the saying goes – “The science is never settled”.
80
Science is settled or it’s not science, it’s speculation.
And Einstein never proved Newton wrong. He showed that in some extreme circumstances like travel at the speed of light, the rules of kinematics were inadequate.
And in turn Heiesenburg showed Einstein’s concept of absolute position was inadequate with his uncertainty principle. God does play dice with the universe.
In some cases there are simply multiple ways of looking at the same events, each with their own merits and predictability. We are outside our human frames of reference. It’s a place where mathematics can simulate and predict, but human intuition cannot.
Which is why in Rational Science, the foundation of science is mathematics. And why man made CO2 driven Global Warming is utterly wrong. There is no man made CO2 in the air and this can be measured absolutely. Except that as Viv Forbes wrote to me, not one person in a thousand would understand the explanation. Which is a shame.
And the pushers of this non science get away with it. While the professional scientists who do understand it keep their heads down.
81
Not your best-ever comment TdeF.
The second paragraph contradicts itself.
The second, third and fourth paragraphs contradict the first.
I wouldn’t rate your couplet — Rational Science — any better than The Science. Isn’t “rational” redundant, and why the capitals? Mathematics clearly underpins physics but is hardly a foundation stone of biology.
I just breathed out, so there *IS* man made CO2 in the air. You seem to have had a bee in your bonnet about this one for the last few days but you’re wording it in very imprecise terms. As for the “not one in a thousand” concern, where does that sit with Feynman’s claim that if you can’t explain something in terms an intelligent adult can understand, it’s because you don’t really understand it yourself?
Finally, to put my counter-claim, science is not a body of learning, it’s the process by which we learn: trial and error. Einstein was doing science with his mental gymnastics, Mendel was doing it with his pea plants, and Snow was doing it when he took the handle off the Broad Street pump. Even the theory of “phlogiston” rates as science. None of those matters were “settled” at the time.

And we have homes computers running at 3.2Ghz.
So a logical decision has been made electrically in the time light/electricity has covered a distance of only 7cm. Modern home computers run at light speed, which makes AI possible.
About 3 million times faster than when I started with them.
And telephone communication has come from the Australian legal limit of 300hz to over a thousand million hz.
Which makes streaming video possible fundamentally using the communication on a single wire carrying ancient coding.
The marvel of content based databases has obsoleted library searches. And quiz shows which do no more than test human memory are fun but irrelevant.
All that is left to humans is creativity. And that is very rare.
90
OTOH.
Computers are just very fast ON/OFF switches.
And, AI is just that artificial intelligence, it’s not real or clever, just consensus based GIGO.
Speed just means you can get the wrong answer quicker.
Lots of progress in the fields of IT over the last 70 years but let’s remember it’s all down to the human brain, which science still doesn’t understand.
And, all the great works in physics and mathematics were developed without computers.
80
TdeF,
Absolutely in agreement that “all that is left to humans is creativity. And that is very rare”.
Creativity or original thinking is being drowned out by conformity. In climate research, in particular, the common, well-paid path is for authors to select a popular talking point, often a “settled” topic, then add to it to increase the consensus. It is childishly simple to play follow the leader.
To the extent that I was part of a scientific group that was highly successful in its aim to find more mines, we are the top used to employ scientists who displayed properties outside of the norm. Some would nowadays be regarded as eccentric, bordering on mentally certifiable. But, it was these folk who would come from left field and say “Why not try this new approach to solve the problem.” No place for the brown cardigan clock punchers who typically ended up in low intellectual demand positions like government regulatory bodies.
These people were rare. I guess that they are still rare.

Great video and fascinating. In a large rectangular farm paddock for feeding stock, an electric fence power unit will supply power to the four perimeter sides of the paddock commonly through bare fencing wire that will pass through small plastic isolators on each fence post so that you have a complete circuit back to the power source. But often additional, temporary moveable electric fences will be placed across from one side of the paddock to the other with a connector onto the main perimeter feed. What has often puzzled me is that it does not matter whether the other end of the temporary fence is connected to the main fence on the opposite side of the paddock, or not, and that a number of secondary electric fences can be added to the temporary fence in any configuration and power will still flow. Some people were of the view that the flow of power had to follow a particular direction.
30
Hi Ross.
“What has often puzzled me is that it does not matter whether the other end of the temporary fence is connected to the main fence on the opposite side of the paddock, or not..”
The circuit is completed through the earth. When you touch the fence with your hand while your bare feet touch the ground, the current passes through your body and back to the electric fence unit. An electric fence unit that is not properly earthed does not deliver as big a kick.

Stopped watching after a few minutes. Talk about confusing a well-known topic… it’s not about resistance as all circuits have R, L and C, and it’s ALL these components that cause the effects that occur. The concept of reflections from open and short circuits are well known and have been used by long-line technicians to determine where cable and wire faults are located. A PMG tech once showed me his scope, calibrated in numbers of telephone poles…
As for talking about electron “flow”, this is one of the first topics discussed when teaching electronics, to make sure that students understand that electrons don’t actually “flow”.
30
Graeme#4,
Of course they flow, though the current flows far more quickly.
FWIW, I thought the video was really good. It took me years to build up a similar picture in my mind when I was trying to come to grips with matching impedances / terminating cables. A video like this might have helped me along.

A large organization to promote its DEI agenda had recently hired several cannibals.
After conducting a lengthy ‘Welcome Aboard’ orientation the Human Resource Director congratulated the cannibals and said, “You are all part of the team now! You get all of the benefits we have discussed and you can enjoy all of the food you want in our company cafeteria completely free of charge! But please do not, under any circumstances, eat any of the other employees.”
The cannibals promised they wouldn’t.
After several weeks the cannibal’s boss seemed very pleased, but also a little worried.
She said: “You’re all working very hard, and I’m satisfied with your performance. However, one of our secretaries has disappeared. Do any of you know what happened to her?”
The cannibals all looked around and shook their heads, “No.”
After the boss had left, the leader of the cannibals was a bit angry and said, “Okay, which one of you dummies ate the secretary?”
A hand rose hesitantly in admission.
“You fool!” said the Chief: “For weeks we’ve been eating managers and no one noticed anything, but no, you had to go and eat someone important!”

“What sort of a thought pattern produces heartless crap like that?”
The whole idea of the Army is to break a person completely and re-mold them as obedient suicide bombers. Having spent some years teaching them and then practicing by killing their fellow men, they are then turned loose on society. Any wonder the USA has such a high murder & mass killing rate?
So, yes, suiciding veterans are just a shame for the Army, but its not going to change anything in there. The suiciders are probably the guys who have seen the big picture and realised that the Army is only there to keep the rich in power, you kill or get killed for the elites who don’t care about you at all.

Of course those moving in the right circles have known all this for many years and tried to warn people, but it’s all just conspiracy theory nonsense isn’t it.
Until it hits. Then they all panic and cry “what do we do?!”.

I hope everyone is aware of the cash oriented protest being promoted for Tuesday April 2. People are encouraged to withdraw cash on that day , by whatever means is convenient, to signal the resistance to ending the use of cash.
May be a meaningless gesture, but a step beyond silence I guess.

Doctors Raise Alarm as Brain Tumors Soar Among Vaxxed
Doctors have begun to sound the alarm after soaring numbers of patients have developed deadly brain tumors after receiving Covid mRNA vaccines.
Medical professionals around the world are now warning the public about the spike.
In some cases, doctors warn that people are discovering tumors within days of being vaccinated for Covid.
However, experts say that most patients had experienced continuous migraines in the days leading up to the disturbing diagnoses.
Doctors have now issued an alert that continued migraines after Covid mRNA injections could be a sign of something much worse.
The cases of several vaccinated patients who have suffered brain tumors have been made public in the hope of raising awareness of the issue.

All Vaccinated Now Have Permanent Heart Damage, Studies Warn
Two major studies have just warned of a ticking time bomb after concluding that all recipients of Covid mRNA shots now have some degree of permanent heart damage.
Health officials have long claimed that damage to the heart that caused myocarditis after the vaccines is just temporary.
However, two independent studies have now found that the injections caused “heart scarring” in all people who receive the shots.
This heart damage is still present in all who received the shots but it is largely undetectable until the victim suffers a major health incident such as a sudden cardiac arrest.
All patients with follow-up cardiac imaging done more than 12 months after their myocarditis diagnosis had persistent late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), Australian researchers reported in a preprint of a new study, published on March 22nd.
This damage was reflective of heart scarring caused by the injections.

Easter Replaced By Transgender Visibility Day
Easter is the most sacred holiday on the Christian calendar. Here is how it is celebrated by the liberal elite in DC Swamp suburbia:
Last week, Democrats on Fairfax County’s board of supervisors voted to designate Easter Sunday as Transgender Visibility Day.
Due to its proximity to the Debt Star, Fairfax is one of the richest counties in the country. Being populated by rich liberals, it already grants transsexuals plenty of visibility:
Fairfax County School Board, for example, has designated June as LGBT Pride Month and October as LGBT History Month.

2025 – the Easter Bunny will be rainbow coloured, sport a moustache, wear a dress, and absolutely not have a “thing” for kids.😎

MP, Post modern interpretation (IMHO).
However the comment was in regard to Easter so clearly not Jewish. (well that is also my opinion…)

Alex Antic on the digital ID legislation.
https://x.com/SenatorAntic/status/1772896715647127731?s=20
While governments may have the best of intentions when enacting such legislation, to extremists looking on it would be seen as a means to slowly and quietly use ‘mission creep’ to impose their agenda on the community. Think of the most sinister and punitive measures the far left overseas have proposed and ask yourself if digital IDs could provide a means for such measures to be imposed on us here in Australia, were we ever to have a government so inclined.
Imagine a world in which everything you do could be traced, recorded and potentially controlled — every service you use, every purchase you make, every financial transaction you make, every website you visit, every email you send, every trip you plan and so on — were you to ‘voluntarily’ agree to link all of these things to your digital ID. For example, if you were to regularly comment on a conservative blog (assuming all the conservative blog owners hadn’t by then been jailed under disinformation laws, of course), a government, if so inclined, could simply use your digital ID to build a political profile of you by having bots follow and analyse your online activity. You won’t necessarily have committed any ‘crime’; you simply will have been ‘noticed’ because of your wrongthink.
What might happen then? You might find that your activities come under the sort of scrutiny from officialdom that is usually reserved for ex-presidents! Or you might encounter certain difficulties with employment, with contracts, with online access and even with simple day-to-day activities such as shopping. Imagine going to your local take-away only to find that your digital currency, which, of course, is linked to your digital ID, has been ‘suspended’ for your having posted ‘disinformation’ online, or having exceeded your carbon dioxide quota or having left your authorised travel zone. NO SOUP FOR YOU!
Many on the far left would be peeing themselves with excitement at the thought of having such power over us and the means to ‘punish’ us for our [insert your favourite leftist grievance here]. And if you believe it couldn’t happen, just look at events in the US, and to a lesser extent, the UK, in recent times and just listen to all the ‘noise’ on these issues coming from globalists worldwide. We just have to hope that we never get a government that succumbs to the temptation to follow this path.
PS Pauline made this speech on the digital ID legislation. It is, unfortunately, ‘hard to follow’ in some places. She mentions something about not being able to exchange currency ‘because she is a senator’. I did a quick search but couldn’t find any reference to this. Can anyone shed light on this?
