Drivers could be fined £40 for using their engine to defrost car windscreens – warning (24 Nov)
Motorists may be hit with a £20 fixed penalty notice for leaving their engine idling on a street. The penalty could rise to £40 if the charge is not paid within a specific time frame.
…
“By minimising car idling on our daily commutes, school drop-offs and simply waiting in traffic, we can contribute less CO2 emissions.

Not allowed to unfreeze your windscreen because you’ll melt the planet too

Nobody who matters will be impacted by this.
Only those who are without a chauffer to sit in an idling car.

Here is Robert Kennedy Jnr’s magnificent speech in Rome:

No government in the history of mankind has ever relinquished power voluntarily. The power that they have taken away from us over the past 20 months they will never give back. They have taken away our freedom of speech, they have closed the churches, they have taken away jury trials against companies, no matter how negligent they, no matter how reckless they are, no matter how grievous your injury, you cannot sue that company.
They have taken away our property rights in the United States. They closed a million businesses for a year with no just compensation and no due process. They have taken away our right to be free of warrantless searches and seizures and surveillance by the government. In the United States all of those rights are enumerated in our Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution. And among the most important of those rights, after the right to free expression, which is gone, is the right to be able to participate in rule-making.

So, when the government wants to pass a law, it has to publish the law, propose the law, it has to explain the scientific basis for that law, it has to do a cost-benefit analysis of that law and explain it to the public, and then we have comments, that all the public can participate in, and then we have a hearing where people oppose the law, like myself, and bring in our own scientists and experts and scientific studies and it’s all transparent. All of those safeguards have been obliterated. Today, the law is what one man says it is, the top doctor in the United States, Anthony Fauci.
In one month, in March of 2020, Tony Fauci told the world masks don’t work, they’re scientifically worthless, two months later he ordered every American to put on a mask. He didn’t give us any scientific studies that made him change his mind, he simply told us, that’s the new law, do what you’re told.
All of these rights that the Founders of our country died for, sacrificed their properties, their livelihoods, to give us the Bill of Rights, and all of these rights over 20 months have been obliterated, taken from the American people — but not just the American people. This is a global coup d’état against liberal democracies across the planet.

And all of these rights that were taken away from us, these governments said it was only temporary. They said it would only be two weeks. In truth, you can all see what is happening: They will never give them back unless we make them.
And the Green Pass is their coup d’état. The Green Pass is how they consolidate their power over your lives. The Green Pass is not a public health measure. It is a tool for totalitarian control of your transportation, your bank account, your movement, every aspect of your life.
And this is not a new idea. This is the same idea they used in Germany in 1937. They issued a pass for people they wanted to control. And when the South African apartheid government wanted to control the black population of South Africa, what was the most important thing they did? They issued a green pass.
I want you to ask all of people and journalists and press who are here today. If the Green Pass is about public health, why is it not issued by the health ministry? It’s being issued by the financial ministry. Do they think that we are stupid?
Because this is a way to control your money, Once you have that Green Pass and they have the digital currency, if somebody tells you, Do not leave Milan, and you go on a trip to Bologna, your money won’t work in Bologna. If the government tells you not to buy pizza, they can make it so that your money won’t buy pizza at a pizza store. They can control every aspect of your life.
They tell you that we need a Green Pass to make sure everybody gets vaccinated. But they admit it: the vaccine does not prevent transmission, the vaccine does not prevent you from getting the disease, the vaccine doesn’t stop the pandemic. So why do we need to get vaccinated if the vaccine doesn’t stop transmission?
I’m gonna tell you for two minutes — I’m going to talk about the vaccines. People say I’m against vaccines. I’m not against vaccines. I’m only against bad vaccines.
I’m not going to tell you what Robert Kennedy thinks. I’m going to tell you what Pfizer told the United States FDA.
Pfizer is the company that has an approved vaccine in the United States. And Pfizer was supposed to have a three-year-study, but they cut it to 6 months. And then they gave vaccinations to all of the controls. Why did they do that? Why did they end the study in 6 months? Because they learned that the antibodies disappear in 6 months and the vaccine no longer provides protection. So they had to end it in 6 months. They could not do what they planned (3 years). They took all of their records for that 6 months and they gave them to FDA. The most important table is the table that tells you All Cause Mortality. How many people died in the vaccine group, how many died in the placebo group during that 6-month period. That table is called “s4.” You can all look it up.
Here’s what the numbers say. There were 22,000 in the vaccine group. Over 6 months, one died from COVID. In the placebo group, the control group, there were 22,000 people, two died from COVID in 6 months. That allowed Pfizer to tell the American public that the vaccine is 100% effective because two is 100% of one.
Most Americans and most Italians when they hear that the vaccine is “100% effective”, what they think is that if they take the vaccine, I have 100% of not dying from COVID. That’s not what it means. What it means is they have give 22,000 vaccines to protect one person from dying of COVID. That means they better make sure that the vaccine itself does not kill one person even, because if it kills one person then you cancel out the entire benefit.
Here’s the important thing. In the vaccine group, 20 people died over 6 months from all causes — 20 people of the 22,000. In the control group, only 14 people died of 22,000. That means that if you take the vaccine you are 48% more likely to die over the next 6 months than if you don’t.
These are Pfizer’s numbers, not mine. Here’s how the people died. In the control group, one person died of a heart attack over the 6 months. In the vaccine group, 5 people died of heart attacks over the 6 months. That means if you get the vaccine, you have a 500% risk of a fatal heart attack within 6 months. It also means that for every one person who is saved from dying of COVID, the vaccine is killing 4 people from heart attacks.
This is not a good public health policy. Public health is supposed to save lives. But this is about control and controlling our society and controlling our children. And the only reason that people don’t understand what I just said and that people still support the vaccine is one reason: the manipulation of fear.
This is simple mathematics. Anybody can look it up. If you look it up you will be more scared of that vaccine than you are of COVID. But the government and the pharmaceutical companies have a method for turning off people’s brains so that they can no longer do simple mathematics. That device is fear. Fear stops us from exercising critical thinking. It allows us to believe that if we just do what we’re told then that that is the only way to save our lives. It’s called the Stockholm Syndrome. And the captors, they lock down a whole country for a year, and people become grateful to their captors and think the only way we can leave here alive is if we have absolute obedience.
I’m going to make one more point and that’s this. How many people here have heard of Event 201?
If you haven’t heard of it, you should go look at it on Youtube. Event 201 was a simulation of a corona virus pandemic that occurred in New York City in October 2019. We now know that COVID was circulating in Wuhan on September 12, 2019, so a month later, there is a simulated corona virus pandemic in New York.
The people who came to that were the big social media companies, the media companies, Johnson & Johnson, the biggest vaccine company, and it was hosted by three people: 1) Bill Gates, 2) George Fu Gao who’s the head of the Chinese CDC, and 3) Avril Haines, the deputy director of the CIA.
Avril Haines is today the top number one spy in the United States, She is the head of Joe Biden’s National Security Agency, so she went from Event 201 to becoming the top spy in our country.
Who knew that the CIA is a public health agency? It came as a surprise to me.
Because the CIA does not do public health. The CIA does coup d’états. Between 1947 and the year 2000, the CIA was engaged in 73 coup d’états, most of them against democracies, one-third of the countries in the world. If you look at Event 201, there was no discussion of public health. Nobody was talking about how do we get Vitamin D to all the people? How do we get people to lose weight? How do we make sure they eat good food? How do we repurpose medicines to treat people? How do we quarantine the sick? How do we preserve Constitutional rights? Not a word was said about public health.
Instead, what they were talking about is how do we use the pandemic as a pretext to clamp down totalitarian controls and to deconstruct democracy. They spent one-quarter of the day talking about how to make sure nobody’s allowed to spread the rumor that the coronavirus pandemic is laboratory- generated.
This is October 2019! And they talk about how to lock down the population, how to force them to take experimental vaccines, how to make sure that black people don’t start resisting. Because in our country, blacks are very suspicious of the medical establishment, and they were deeply concerned about that resistance.
When I researched my book, what I learned was that this event, Event 201, was not a one-time occurrence. We found 20 separate pandemic simulations beginning in 2000. One thing they had in common — most of them Bill Gates was involved in, Tony Fauci was involved in — but every one of them the CIA was involved in. The CIA wrote the script, high-level CIA officials participated in every one of those pandemic simulations.
And they involved hundreds of thousands of people. They were conducted secretly. They used frontline workers, they were training police, and hospital systems and utilities in Europe, in Italy, in Germany, in Canada, in Australia, all at the same time, to do a response to a pandemic, but it was not a public health response. It was a response to use the pandemic for something else.
So they practiced again and again and again: How to use the pandemic as a pretext for imposing totalitarian controls and for obliterating liberal democracy across the planet.
One of the experiments that they used, they found, is called the Milgram experiment — it was a CIA experiment in 1967 — and what the CIA found is that if a powerful medical official orders people to do something wrong, something that violates their conscience, that violates their basic values, 67% of people will obey authority over their values. And 67% of the people will be hypnotized by fear into obeying a position of authority, a figure of authority. But 33% of the people will not obey. And you are the 33%.
And our job is to go out from here today and reach out to our brothers and sisters, the people who are still hypnotized, and tell them that we are going to fight for their freedom until they are able to fight for it themselves. We need to reach out when we leave here today to all of our brothers and sisters, the 67% who are still hypnotized, and we have to tell them that you need to love your freedom more than you are scared of a germ.
This year we saw the destruction of the American Constitution. That Constitution was written by a group of people who understood that there are worse things than dying. And they put their lives on the front line, their property, their careers, their livelihoods, to fight for freedom, and to fight for those rights that we have lost in the previous 20 months.
And now it’s our job now, it is the job of everybody in this crowd, to go out and fight back, to resist, resist, resist, resist, and to reclaim our government, to reclaim our lives, to reclaim our liberty, for our children, for our country, and for all future generations.
And I can tell you this. I will stand side by side with you, and if I have to die for this, I’m going to die with my boots on.

Maybe because southern hemisphere is mainly water. The distance in travel time Beijing to Paris is 13 1/4 hours. Time time Beijing/Sydney is 15 hours. I picked Paris because it’s kind of in the middle of Europe.
We’re further away as far as center goes.
Beijing/LA 20 hours.

Everything from its ‘Co-Prosperity Sphere’ to some 25 years of naval planning (including thumbing its nose at the Washington Treat), was designed to set itself up as a truly self-sufficient peer competitor in the Pacific.

I don’t have the reference handy, but one account of the fall of the Netherlands East Indies – now Indonesia – makes the claim that the Japanese had decided on seizing the oilfields there, as early as 1919.

I’m still a little giddy from my excursion into Hyde Park to the demo.

Hysterically, i was asked by some young people whether I was a “pure blood”. “Oh yes”, I said, “Of course”.

Everything these days seems surreal.

“HD, I had been told of the HF radio amplifiers and antennas on M577 Command Cars being capable of microwaving a chicken once, and I recall seeing the warning placards about limiting exposure to radar antennas on HMAS Vampire at the Maritime museum in Darling Harbour.

But a homeless guy cooking himself in his sleep? Oy Vey… O_o”

Yes, highly unlikely re: the comms dish. Radar, yes, for sure. Comms, I think not.
Such comms are likely 5W or so maximum and more likely 1W or less – radar would be tens or even hundreds of watts, and even then the issue is being in the focus of a high gain antenna (concentrating the power into one spot) and the high bandwidth inherent in a pulse-echo system like radar. If you’re “in” the dish, there’s no way you’re at the focus – much more likely you are destroying the comms link than it destroying you!

The kerfuffle over 50Hz stuff is worse – one of the “tricks” when working in a medium sized substation was to wait until someone within 5m or so of a 200+MVA transformer earthed themselves on the fence – you could then, providing you yourself weren’t earthed, draw an arc from their ear. Kinda like the old nylon carpet trick, but you could draw a continuous arc from the induction into your body from the transformer. I don’t recall any class-action lawsuits re health issues from that stuff, and there would literally be thousands of people exposed to this sort of magnetic field regularly just in NSW.

How about vaccinated or un-vaccinated or vaxed and un-vaxxed for short? This is getting so anal.

Australia Day, Thanksgiving. It’s all the same hate to the left with a bit of gerbil warming thrown in.

Thanksgiving Day is here, and as is the fashion, it’s taking a beating. “What is Thanksgiving to Indigenous People? ‘A Day of Mourning,’” writes the onetime daily Bible of American mass culture, USA Today. The Washington Post fused a clickhole headline format with white guilt to create, “This tribe helped the Pilgrims survive for their first Thanksgiving. They still regret it 400 years later.” Even the pundits who didn’t rummage in the past in search of reasons for Americans to flog themselves this week found some in the future, a la the Post’s climate-change take on Turkey Day menus: “What’s on the Thanksgiving table in a hotter, drier world?”

MSNBC meanwhile kept things festive by reminding us, with regard to the now-infamous Pilgrims, that “Instead of bringing stuffing and biscuits, those settlers brought genocide and violence”:

seems to me that Bolta got ‘convicted’ as a ‘racist’ for saying exactly this

“pureblood” is being used as a term for the “unvaccinated”.

I personally think it is a bit pretentious. I am happy to be called merely “unvaccinated”. Just don’t call me “selfish” or any other of the presumptuous and ignorant terms the sanctimonious are using.

The Currency Lad has been on fire this last week.

Reading through that petition, I found:

Weddings limited to 20 people if anyone attending is unvaccinated.

The only way one can know if their wedding guests have been vaccinated is to ask them. Perhaps it could go on the invitation under RSVP; Sorry to pry into you personal health issues, but have you been vaxxed?

How deplorable!

Just don’t call me “selfish” or any other of the presumptuous and ignorant terms the sanctimonious are using.

Or ‘anti-vaxxer’.

I am all for vacines that have undergone long-term, stringent trials and testing. Not so keen on hastily prepared experimental potions.

It’s curious how there appears to be absolutely no concern expressed by the authorities about the dreaded ‘long Covid’ affecting the vaxxed.

Well, like it or not, you’re getting both.

No way!

Well, there’s a person who posts here (and shall remain anon), who contracted it in 2020 and is still suffering the effects. It’s a weird illness as it seems to operate in an opportunistic way. If it finds a way to really fuck you because of a prior problem, it will. In other cases it makes itself almost invisible and never know you had it.

Am I allowed to ask what a “mimsy” is?</blockquote

For goodness sake, it's there in black and white:

Could I be plainer than this?

This zoe daniel kunt seems like a typical spoilt, stupid abc bitch. She’s running against tim wilson, a woke poof, so there’ll be no winners.

Cats – the comments yesterday about the Demo, were from the heart.

Rabz, my heart was uplifted reading that post; so wonderful to feel joy after such a dismal time of frustration and anger, isn’t it?

But I do gree with other Cats: family is everything. Disagree with them, laugh at them and even resent them… momentarily, but not enough to sever lifelong ties.

I believe that before long this grim tide will turn and many people will end up disillusioned and irreparably hurt by our governments, our families among them. Then, magnanimous to the core, we can extend the hand of charity whilst (silently) saying, “I told you so, squire!”

Being the only kid is pretty decent. If the folks leave something, you don’t have to worry about a split and it’s tax free. I’m just half way kidding, but boy you read about some horror stories when it’s splitz time.

You’re missing my point JC. It’s not whether long Covid is a beast or not.

It’s the ‘the vaxxed getting Covid is not a worry, they aren’t dying in ICU, so there’ narrative.

After almost 18 months of long Covid booga booga.

What?
