For DrBeau
While it’s true about age, the IVF implantation issue is debatable. Bias and statistical play a much bigger part. The IVF process itself is less an issue than many believe.
Firstly, those seeking IVF (even younger women) are generally those with fertility issues, which make them a greater risk of miscarriage in the first instance. The population sample has a bias.
Secondly, women are scanned to within an inch of their lives throughout the process. Regular doesn’t begin to describe it. Hence, from the day of implantation, everyone knows the progress of the pregnancy (almost to the day). When it fails, they know, even before a naturally impregnated female would even suspect she was pregnant.
Many women loose a natural pregnancy before they are even aware they are, let’s say it’s Gods way of saying it wasn’t quite right. They are non the wiser, so it doesn’t trouble the scorers or the statisticians. Those doing IVF know they are pregnant from day one, and know exactly when they lost it, even within the first four weeks.
Nothing malicious here, it’s just a product of comparing apples with oranges. We can file it under lies, damned lies, and statistics.
If Victorian birth rates remain steady as she goes, then the post vaccine miscarriage rate is the same as the pre vaccine miscarriage rate.
Ie there is no effect.
Rushing off to get a pregnancy test as soon as a period is a day late is not a good idea, most miscarriages occur first trimester, most are genetic issues.
up to fifty percent of all pregnancies end in miscarriage

Dr. Robert Malone is Still Fighting
From Armstrong Economics –
QUESTION:
Message: Dear Martin,
Thank you for all of the insight that you make available to us on a daily basis. I’m hoping that you might be able to provide an update to your April 5, 2022 blog, “Dr. Robert Malone vs WEF”? At the time, the good Doctor was in the process of outing the various WEF world leaders and government scoundrels so as to make the list public. Hopefully this is still in the works and you might be able to provide a timeline and manner in which this important information will be disseminated?
Thank you in advance for your valuable insight and guidance!

REPLY: Dr. Robert Malone is still fighting to expose those responsible for COVID. He has appeared on Maria Zeee’s program many times, often on the same day that I am scheduled to speak. We are fighting for the same cause, with Malone decoding the science as I expose the economic consequences.
Dr. Robert Malone is one of the original inventors of mRNA and DNA vaccines. He holds numerous patents for gene delivery, formulation, and vaccines. He admitted that he originally believed that health organizations such as the CDC and NIH were in place to help the people. He quickly realized that the health organizations are merely government pawns that have been used to suppress and manipulate the people into taking dangerous vaccines.
The MSM crowd attempts to discredit Dr. Malone at every turn. His Wikipedia page (untrustworthy site) has been hacked, his social media accounts were permanently banned, and many major news publications wrote scathing reviews on the doctor for spreading “misinformation” despite him being one of the top experts in his field. “If they can remove my voice, my experience, my expertise – they win,” Malone stated.
Dr. Malone on attempts to silence him:
“The more I have expressed data-based concerns about what is happening with the vaccines, the US Federal and WHO responses, the more I have been censored, defamed, and subjected to various forms of character assassination by big tech and legacy media. I am not alone in being targeted. Mainstream media has attacked and censored me and other prominent physicians/scientists who do not recite the governmental narrative. This has been developed into a standard process and deployed worldwide as a technique for suppressing physician dissent – quite literally hunting physicians deemed guilty of thoughtcrimes (such as questioning vaccine safety and effectiveness) or of the “sin” of treating patients with lifesaving drugs in an outpatient setting.”
Dr. Malone continues to speak out against vaccinations, and people are beginning to listen to his message.”

A couple went to the hospital to have their baby delivered.
Upon their arrival, the doctor said that the hospital was testing an amazing new high-tech machine that would transfer a portion of the mother’s labour pain to the baby’s father.
He asked if they were interested. Both said they were very much in favour of it.
The doctor set the pain transfer to 10% for starters, explaining that even 10% was probably
more pain than the father had ever experienced before.
But as the labour progressed, the husband felt fine and asked the doctor to go ahead and kick
it up a notch.
The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20% pain transfer. The husband was still feeling fine. The doctor then checked the husband’s blood pressure and was amazed at how well he was doing.
At this point they decided to try for 50%. The husband continued to feel quite well.
Since the pain transfer was obviously helping the wife considerably, the husband encouraged the doctor to transfer ALL the pain to him.
The wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain and the husband continued to experience no pain. She and her husband were ecstatic.
When they got home, they found the postman dead on the porch.

Victoria registered births here.
There are some undulations in numbers, but nothing stands out.
It seems to me that there’s so much static swirling around the vaxx that the central issue is being lost – our governments locked us up and lied to us and made it almost impossible to live a normal, productive life unless we took their vaccine.
Thoughts are with Victorians today as VIC and the country will be in serious trouble if Andrews / Labor are re-elected.
Yep.

Heh. At least Victoria is completely transparent with their stats. Type in “vic birth rate” and you come up with the table by month.
Try doing that with NSW. It’s like entering the labyrinth. Still trying to find something useful. Thanks government imbeciles.
Fear is the best persuasion technique ever conceived. The American left are the masters.
Calli,
The other bit lost is that the government made us take their vaccine without any clear idea of what it would do to us, and they still don’t…in the longer term.
Remember, they had no idea that it’d cause heart issue before forcing it on us or the slogan of ‘safe and effective’ and ‘fully approved’. If they did, and didn’t tell us, it’s even worse.
Deaths, damage and/or scot-free, even just the heart related issues which have become evident highlight in sky writing why this was, being generous, ill-conceived and deceptive or, being more cynical, bloody evil. The absence of mass short term deaths is not (or shouldn’t be) the measure of the righteous of this stunt.
More diligence goes into ensuring the bodily autonomy rights of a potential organ donor (post mortem), than was extended to us during this most unfortunate of periods.
the fix is in
Chris Kenny in the Oz
These “things”, currently in government, will make the Whitlam government look good in comparison.
The one thing Kenny neglects to mention is the ruinous rise in energy costs.
Combined with RBA tightening, increased labor market regulation primed for further nominal wage pressures and we’re primed for excellent times ahead.
Forgot to add; given how quickly the heart issue become evident, if the normal testing process had been followed, this would have been known before mass vaccination.
Perhaps there’s a lesson in that for everyone.
Government is fudging the Birth data, so they’ve got something to hide.
Most likely reason is that the AntiVaxxers were right:
Take the CovidVax, forget about ever having a successful pregnancy.
In other words, CovidVaxxes are an Abortifacient.
Thanks, rosie .
Mater, that’s a sub-set of “lied to us”.
They knew because we did. Made no difference.
Ahaha! I had a “rabbit hole” comment about falsification of registered births and scrubbed it! We need to conserve our tinfoil just in case Tomago goes off-line. 😀
New APP Report Exposes Origins, Influence of “Transgender Leviathan”
Earlier in the week Ben Fordham had on Dr Ross Walker to discuss a 18 year old female Vax victims interview. Walker is a top Sydney cardiologist who hosts a show on 2 GB/4BC on Sunday’s.
Walker said he had seen 70-80 cases of vaccine related heart issues this year. He called for the MNRA Vax to be stopped (source Facebook page of Ben Fordham show).
Unfortunately I have not seen any other media pick up this story so far. I am assuming Walker is vaxxed so he can by no means be labelled an anti vaxxer.

Saturday, 26 November 2022
Daniel Andrews, the most sinister, the most evil, the most manipulative creature to ever reach high office in this country, and his grotesquely corrupt and totalitarian government, are about to be re-elected, thanks in no small part to the utterly cowardly, craven and useless Victorian Liberals.
I recall how last year, in October/November 2021, when the protests were happening in Melbourne, protests that attracted hundreds of thousands of people, not just “thousands” as our corrupt and mealy-mouthed MSM described them, today it’s worth remembering how not one Liberal MP marched with the protesters. Instead, when the corrupt MSM deliberately smeared the protests and protesters as “far-right” and “Nazis”, the Liberals panicked and hid, like little church mice. A Liberal leader with just an ounce of Churchillian spine (not a lot to ask for), instead of forbidding Liberal MPs from attending, would have said to the MSM that at the next protest, EVERY Liberal MP will be in attendance. That’s how you deal with the left.
Daniel Andrews is living proof of evil. Victoria and Victorians don’t deserve this. I’d like to be more positive. The Liberals will make gains, but I doubt very much they can win 18 seats and the sad fact is that they’re just as likely to lose seats to the Teal coloured crocodiles, and this won’t be because of Labor, it’s the fault of the Liberals. Once again I’m reminded of Winston Churchill’s memorable quote, “An appeaser is someone who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.”. Well, our Teal Crocodiles are ravenous, gobbling up the Liberals for brekkie, lunch, dinner, supper and at snack time.
But maybe I’m being too hard. I need to channel Bernie Finn, a decent man if ever there was one, a true Christian, a man who was treated disgracefully by Groundhog Guy and the party. Despite clearly being no fan of Groundhog Guy, Finn last night on Sky refused to attack him and he said how he hopes for a Liberal win today.
Daniel Andrews, who’s best lines are “I can’t recall”, I’m unable to remember”, you got to admire him, the man has chutzpah, yet the tragedy is that Victoria and Victorians (what’s left of them), will be remembering, recalling, and recollecting Labor and Andrews for decades.
This is a new one on me.

Weeding believers out of public life
Liberal candidate Renee Heath is in the middle of a Victorian pre-state election controversy. The controversy? She is an active member of a Christian church that holds to Biblical teachings on life and marriage, gender and sexuality.
…
Many who are concerned at the increasingly anti-religious (and especially anti-Christian) sentiments of Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews have been hoping that this week’s state election would see an upset victory for the Opposition.
After all, anything would have to be better than the stifling of religious freedom that has occurred under the current Victorian Labor government.
As we go to print, the election result is not yet known, but events this past week have demonstrated that people of faith are unlikely to have an ally in the alternate Premier, Matthew Guy.
Pissarro is one of my favourites.
“Nowadays, The Age is the newspaper of the Victorian public service and, like the ABC, votes Green. So it’s interesting that Chip Le Grand’s main piece on election day says that the premier The Age has defended like a soccer team since 2014 is now on the nose.”
Ah yes, I recall how Chippy, back in 2020, lambasted Peta Credlin for attending Andrews’ press conferences so as to ask the premier some hard questions. Credlin went along because most of the MSM were giving Andrews an easy time. Chippy boy joined in the anti-Credlin pile ons saying that Credlin wasn’t a real journalist. LOL. And then last year Chippy joined in a smear against Avi Yemeni, again painting him as “not a real journalist”. There’d be no need for “people’s journalists” like Yemeni and co if the likes of Le Grand, instead of being far-left activists shilling for the Andrews government, actually did their jobs, but no, for years all they’ve done is act as Dan’s pretorian guard. So, when Chippy lambasts Credlin, Rushkan, Yemeni and others for not being “real journalists”, that might be true but neither is Chip Le Grand.

It looks like this plan was always going to be focused on Arizona. The election fraud is lining up to be exposed in the courts by the rule of law so everyone can see the evidence and it will forever be in public record. Trump reminded us a few times in the past that a court has yet to see the evidence, but when they do they’ll have a big decision to make. If you think a lot of Americans think election fraud is happening now, just wait until it’s all exposed.
Brnovich and the Election Integrity Unit exposing the fraud and prosecuting people while Kari Lake uses her communication skills to be a bullhorn for the public on election fraud seems like a great fit.
I believe that more indictments are to come and more revelations will be made concerning Konnech and Runbeck. Keep your eyes peeled. Something tells me the other shoe is about to drop.

Duncan,
Interesting link to Dr Walkers web page. I note that section is his thoughts in April this year.
My comments about what he said are based purely on what was posted on Fordham FB page. Did not hear the actual conversation.
It was noted he said he had seen 70-80 heart related Vax cases. No age was mentioned but can guess most under 50. You normally go to a GP first and then cardiologist so that indicates come concern by the patient and GP. If he has seen 70+ patitents then how many cardiologists are there in Oz and how many total cases. Then more importantly how many of those cases were reported up the line. I recall a few months ago Senator Rennick saying a cardiologist had wanted to report three Vax injury cases up the line but was rebuffed somehow. The under reporting will be huge as the TGA would not want us to know total number of referrals to cardiologists.
Incidentally one of the VIC Freedom Party candidates is a cardiologist who did not take the Vax. Chris Neil, who is President of the Australian Medical Proffesionals Society.

On Election Day, the Lake campaign and a Republican coalition asked a state judge to extend voting in the county because of the issues, but the judge rejected the motion, saying he had seen no evidence that anyone was denied an opportunity to cast a ballot.
Lake’s new lawsuit, based on declarations from voters and poll workers, alleges 118 of the county’s 223 vote centers were affected by the printer issue, a higher number than the county’s suggestion of 70 affected locations, among other claims.
Although the suit does not demand a delay of Maricopa’s certification, Lake’s attorneys argued that reports the campaign received from voters meet the legal threshold for doing so.
REVEALED: Biden ordered Trudeau to END freedom convoy over fears US car plants would close within hours – before the Canadian PM invoked emergency powers to quash it
President Biden demanded Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stop the ‘freedom convoy’ that protested at the border against vaccine mandates
Trudeau is set to testify Friday regarding his decision to clear out the convoy as part of a Canadian government investigation
The trucker protest grew until it closed vital trade routes along the Canada-U.S. border and shut down key parts of the capital for more than three weeks
Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland previously testified that Washington was ‘very, very, very worried’ about the blockades
The minister emailed staff on February 10 saying Washington feared ‘all of their northeastern car plants will shut down’ if the convoy was not stopped in 12 hours
Trudeau, according to texts between Clow and Freeland, talked to Biden about ‘money, people and political/media support’ from America
Three days after speaking with Biden, on February 14, Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act to clear out the protesters
I think you do the man an injustice. It takes great courage to return as the leader after such a prior walloping. I give him credit in holding the ship together given the barrage of criticism and the media locking him out. He has remained calm and resolute.

Schwab, 84, made these comments during an interview with CGTN’s Tian Wei on the sidelines of last week’s APEC CEO Summit in Bangkok, Thailand.
“I think we should be very careful in imposing systems. But the Chinese model is certainly a very attractive model for quite a number of countries,” Schwab said.

Marie Antoinette of Ukraine speaks
Zelensky’s wife claims Ukrainians ready to suffer
Freezing cold and electricity shortages “are not the worst thing,” she told the BBC
Ukrainians are ready to withstand heating and power outages for years if the country is eventually allowed to join the EU, First Lady Elena Zelenskaya has claimed. She was interviewed by the BBC on Friday.
Speaking to the British broadcaster after weeks of Russian strikes on Ukraine’s energy facilities, Zelenskaya said that Ukrainians were “ready to endure” a punishing winter if the country’s bid for EU membership was successful.
President Vladimir Zelensky’s wife cited a recent poll which reportedly found that 90% of Ukrainians would put up with power and heating shortages for two or three years if the country could become a member of the European bloc afterwards.
“We’ve had so many terrible challenges, seen so many victims, so much destruction, that blackouts are not the worst thing to happen to us,” she told the BBC.
Encouraged by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Ukraine applied for EU membership in February, and was accepted as a candidate for accession in June. However, Kiev cannot join the bloc while engaged in armed conflict with its neighbor, and some member states have pointed out that the nation will have to root out corruption, clean up its human rights record, and strengthen the rule of law before it can be considered for membership.
As the temperature drops in Ukraine, Russia continues to strike targets of military significance across the country, including power plants and gas facilities. A wave of large-scale missile attacks on infrastructure objects were reported in Kiev, Kharkov, Odessa, Lviv, and other cities on Wednesday.
Kiev Mayor Vitaly Klitschko stated on Thursday that 70% of the Ukrainian capital was left without power following the strikes, while the CEO of Ukraine’s largest private power utility called last week for citizens to consider leaving the country for winter to reduce the burden on the damaged grid.
Russia has been targeting Ukraine’s energy facilities since October 10, after accusing Kiev of “terrorist” attacks on Russian infrastructure, including the strategically important Crimean Bridge. The missile and drone campaign has focused on “targets directly or indirectly related to [Ukraine’s] military potential,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday.

Defence Force chief calls on top officers to hand back honours and medals
Defence chief has called on his top officers from the Afghanistan conflict to hand back their medals claiming lack of distinguished service, sparking outrage.
Exclusive: Australian Defence Force chief General Angus Campbell has demanded some of his most senior officers surrender their honours and medals related to service in Afghanistan.
The stunning about-face move against his top brass follows the release of the damning Brereton report in November 2020 into alleged war crimes in Afghanistan by Australia’s Special Forces.
None of the top officers were believed to have been implicated or included in the adverse findings against 39 soldiers involved in 23 incidents currently the subject of a criminal police investigation.
But the latest move now signals that ultimately all levels of those in leadership positions have to bear some form of accountability for what has been an internationally condemned behaviour by some of Australia’s elite forces.
News Corp Australia understands the demand was issued to officers in command positions from captains to brigadier level in recent days, calling on them to hand back honours and awards including the Distinguished Service Medal.
Most were attached to the SAS Regiment and/or in the Special Operations Task Group (SOTG).
They have been given 28 days to provide notice on whether they considered their service to have been “distinguished”, specifically in the wake of allegations related to claims made in the defamation trial of Ben Roberts-Smith. This included evidence of alcohol drinking.
It is understood Gen Campbell has told his hierarchy he was prepared to go to the Governor-General to develop a mechanism whereby honours, awards and medals could be removed if officers chose not to give them up.
A Defence spokesperson declined to comment directly to questions related to those top officers, whom News Corp has chosen not to name, or how many troops this may now affect.
Last year, then Defence Minister Peter Dutton blocked the decision by the Defence Chief to strip unit citations from up to 3000 Special Forces post the release of the damning Brereton war crimes inquiry.
But that notification changed along with the change of government in May this year.
“In June 2021, the then Minister for Defence (Dutton) wrote to the CDF directing him to suspend any consideration of administrative action in relation to personnel who held command positions in the period within the scope of the Afghanistan Inquiry (2005 to 2016),” a Defence spokesperson said on Friday.
“Consequently, the CDF suspended his consideration of administrative action relating to command accountability. The Government has confirmed the CDF may recommence his consideration of administrative action for command accountability related to the Afghanistan Inquiry.
“To protect the privacy and support the welfare of our people, Defence will not comment on the circumstances of individuals,” the spokesperson said.
The action has caused some disquiet among our elite troops who fear all will again be shamed into returning honours despite no direct involvement in matters currently being investigated by the Office of the Special Investigator.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, one former elite soldier said the move has caused outrage in the ranks.
“Yup this has caused outrage at all levels (ranks), some of the guys are not even in service anymore and have been asked to come in and see the CDF to which they’ve said ‘f**k off’,” they said.
“He has told them he had to show government he was doing something about this discipline issues related to conduct like drinking (alcohol).”

Having done my civic duty, at the nearest voting center, I can report the greens and labor HTV people were doing a brisk business. Liberal not so much, and the freedom party not at all.
Much to my surprise one of the greens HTV people was actually a fit young bloke, not the usual fat slob.
As I left a well dressed bloke appeared with HTV for the Lib dems, but I didn’t see him getting any business.
Far as I can tell from my small chunk of the world, this seat will remain in Labor hands. Hardly unexpected, giving how safe a seat it is. I’m somewhat shocked at the number of socialist parties on the ballot though.

Good analysis there, Mater, there is a lot of possible hidden sampling bias and other confounders in the data so it becomes next to impossible to be certain if there is a fully independent IVF effect. Possibly one might tease out an effect by ancova analysis of a carefully selected sub-sample, but it would still be dicey. Probably best just to recognise that early pregnancy can be inherently unstable – which is why down the ages women haven’t wanted to announce it till ‘the quickening’ at around four months.
‘The quickening’ is extraordinary. A flutter, unlike any other abdominal movement you’ve felt, like a little bird in there. Close to term, the movements and swoops of the swollen belly, with an occasional very obvious little foot or knee or elbow roaming across it, are both hilarious and awe-inspiring.
IVF is extremely common these days. History also shows us that infertility often blighted marriages in the past – agains for reasons mostly unfathomable. Women are encouraged these days to seek IVF if they are over thirty for a first pregnancy and have been trying for one year without success.
I forgot, one of the local independents had a few people handing out the HTV cards. Comparable numbers to the libs.

Here’s what happened:
Rates went from 2.5% to 17.5% over a 10 year period, during which there were 2 property busts and the Banks had a conservative lending policy.
There hasn’t been a property bust for 20+ years now, but if rates go to 8%, the increased payment/Income will dwarf anything that occurred when Howard was Treasurer.

Answer is no as preferences them much higher than Labor and here is a clue from Freedom Party web page :
Freedom Party of Victoria is the result of three years of dedication towards building a credible and reliable alternative for Victorians who have suffered enormously under the watch of an incompetent and corrupt government that needs to be changed.

Ah, 30, I used to be thirty, that was a good age to be, but glad to be passed it, and well into doubling it, and the pleasure is now doubled. I can explain but won’t bore you with the how and the why.
Tinta, at thirty, I had a son, a good life with my son’s father. Like you, a good age to be.
Now, like yourself my age is doubled, I was discarded and cut loose. After the obligatory tears and stuff, I realised I had been let free, not cut loose.
I now live in a tiny country town where the locals look out for me. It is not the first time I have started over so the future is in my hands again. As you stated, the pleasure is doubled. Thanks Tinta.
By the way, the sun is shining for the third day in a row, what a glorious time to be alive. Off to mow.
They will catch up;
May ’21- “China has announced that it will allow couples to have up to three children, after census data showed a steep decline in birth rates.”
And where will the US be then by comparison. Still Governed federally by woke leftist sewer dwellers, bitterly opposing conservative values ? Tearing itself steadily apart?
While the US slimes it’s way forward with woke failed mates in the EU, UK and Canada, China is relentlessly forging hard commercial relations with resource rich entities globally reducing it’s risk on say… Australia.
It will be a very interesting next 10 years or so.
Klaus Schwab is basically as con man who has done very well for himself by exploiting the vanity of important people by getting them together with other important people and charging them to listen to him tell them what they want to hear. Which all makes them feel even more important! He then takes the funds of his not for profit enterprise and uses them to finance his for profit ventures. He doesn’t need to be right for this swindle to continue – which is just as well because he seldom is; globalism, for e.g. is collapsing into multipolarity just as he has reached the supposed zenith of his influence – just plausible enough to keep the mugs coming along and paying the dues and fees.
Young Chinese women aren’t interested in having babies. They’re besotted with materialism and unwilling to sacrifice.

Campbell digging that hole even deeper attempting to cover up senior Defence and Army level officers’ failings in management of the Afghanistan operations.

Indeed Roger. I do hope it keeps them busy though. They still have huge numbers of fighting aged males compared to the west and more importantly if presented the will to expend them. I harbour concerns that Xi may use this as a convenient distraction for his hugely indoctrinated nationalistic population when times start getting tough. Taiwan or maybe by proxy through North Korea where the CCP comes to “the aid” of an ally.
Number of more level headed writers I have read who have time in the Middle Kingdom have stated this is the known unknown when times get tough.
PHRASING.

Peter Zeihan reckons they’re lying. He reckons their population peaked and tipped over the aging pyramid 10 year ago. He also reckons the provinces were lying about their population sizes big time in order to get more money allocated to them from Beijing. He also claims the population is over-estimated by 200 million because of the lying.
H does lots of YouTube.
He’s 84; he’d better get a move on!
I think he’s right. Even the central authorities are surprised by the recent collpase in the figures, hence the scrambling to do something.
Plus they have very high abortion rates (more than twice the US) and subsequent infertility issues.
The way the US is headed, China doesn’t have to do too much over time to come out well ahead. If the US can’t correct itself and overcome the influence of corrosive woke leftism and it’s addiction to absurd levels of debt, time is on China’s side ultimately. That is not good news for us.
“Klaus Schwab is basically as con man who has done very well for himself by exploiting the vanity of important people by getting them together with other important people and charging them to listen to him tell them what they want to hear. “
Yep….once upon a time, even as recently as twenty years ago, Schwab would have been laughed at for being the James Bond type villain he is. It’s a sad indictment of the state of the West that he’s now taken seriously.

However, globalization may well be in reverse but for entirely different reasons. With different ramifications.
Makka:
There are millions of Chinese women now in their 50’s who had their babies forcibly aborted, even murdered during birth. I wonder how they will take this? So many murdered babies is NOT something Xi will be capable of just passing off as inconsequential.
This particular chicken is still wending its way home to the roost. It may just be able to bring the Communists down.
See One Child Nation by Amazon Studios.
“Every woman has almost gone through a forced abortion or forced sterilization,” Nanfu Wang, co-director and producer of the documentary, told PBS. “Sometimes the babies…they were born alive, and because of the policy and her job, she had to kill them after they were born alive, and she is really traumatized because of that.”
Yeah. My heart bleeds for her.
And there will be no Nuremberg Trial for the people who did this. Instead our political class will stand mute as they herd the Uighurs into Concentration and Organ Donation camps.
“I think we should be very careful in imposing systems. But the Chinese model is certainly a very attractive model for quite a number of countries,” Schwab said.
So we should build lots of coal and nuclear generators? And promise to stabilise our CO2 emissions by sometime after 2050? Isn’t that the Chinese model?
I realise all that Bob. But that’s not my point. Of course China has it’s problems. I’m not convinced at all that China’s demographic issue is sufficient to overcome it’s relative progress versus the US. China is wielding serious global influence and it’s growing. Especially funding woke leftism in western nations. I also think that it has it’s population well under control absent famine. Which would dramatically change things there if it could not be managed.
IMO the problem is the US. It’s future is very finely balanced between ongoing leadership or decline. The next couple of Administrations I think will show how that future will unfold so those elections become crucial. Currently I see a US entering decline unless arrested. For the reasons I mentioned above.
