Collectivist propaganda purveyors are everywhere and almost impossible to escape. Here are (some of) the main drivers:
– The braindead lamestream meeja
– Anti-social meeja
– Brainwashed ignorant illiterate innumerate anti-scientific ahistorical imbeciles (i.e. da yoof) that are now infiltrating corporations, having successfully subsumed the bureaucracy and the “political advisor” caste (recognition hint, the female ones are paralytic projectile vomiters and don’t bother with knickers while the male ones resemble mUttley on an endless golf and Krispy Kreme binge)
– Karens – ugly screechy utterly useless gullible hysterical white middle aged middle class women who thanks to their multiple rampant neuroses now infest the braindead bureaucracy and corporate HR hives
– The infiltration of apolitical organisations by collectivist drones, e.g. the NRMA
– The infiltration of conservative political parties by collectivist drones – e.g. the Gliberals, the National Agrarian Socialists

New police documents have cast doubt over former Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton’s explanation about his officers’ decision not to breathalyse Catherine Andrews following a horror crash.
A day after the Herald Sun revealed a secret Ambulance Victoria report contradicted Daniel Andrews’ claim his car was “T-boned” by teenage cyclist Ryan Meuleman, investigation notes reveal more inconsistencies relating to the police probe.
At the time of the 2017 independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission inquiry into the crash, former police chief Ashton told 3AW the two police officers who attended the smash had simply “mucked up”, believing “one thought the other had done it (the test)”.
But police notes from a meeting between officers and the Meuleman family 10 days after the crash, obtained by the Herald Sun, state that a senior-constable chose not to conduct a breath test because it was their “opinion” that the driver — Mr Andrews’ wife Catherine — did not appear “affected by alcohol”.
The unearthed ambulance report published on Friday detailed how the Andrews’ family Ford Territory was “travelling 40 to 60kmh” when it “struck” Ryan in a Blairgowrie backstreet, contradicting the Premier’s claims that their slow-moving vehicle had been “T-boned” by the bike.
Another former Police Chief Commissioner, Kel Glare, says he is “disturbed” by the force’s handling of the crash investigation that left Ryan, then 15, with a punctured lung and internal bleeding.
Glare, the state’s top cop from 1987-1992, said he did not believe “proper procedure” had been followed in the case.
Concerns over the police’s failure to use breathalysers and the removal of the car from the scene have also been raised by lawyers exploring fresh litigation over the crash.
“The best description that I can give you of the whole episode is disturbing,” Glare said.
“The car should never have been allowed to leave the scene, for two reasons: one is, it was a very serious incident and needed proper forensic assessment and two, the car was unroadworthy,” Glare said.
“The photographs show the windscreen smashed to pieces and that means the car ought not to have been allowed to be driven. It’s beyond belief.”
Of the failure to conduct breath tests, Glare – a former police prosecutor and a qualified barrister – said: “I think the decision was made because of who was involved – it seems pretty obvious given all of the stories.
“And that’s unacceptable. It should have been routine. There was a very serious injury to the young lad on his bicycle, you don’t make those sort of judgment calls when you have got the technology to properly assess the situation”.

Glare said the competing explanations given by Ashton and the new police notes were another “matter for concern” as were revelations Ryan was never formally interviewed by crash investigators.

Glare said the competing explanations given by Ashton and the new police notes were another “matter for concern” as were revelations Ryan was never formally interviewed by crash investigators.
Glare said it was “never too late to have a proper investigation” but Assistant Commissioner for Road Policing Glenn Weir told 3AW on Friday the Meuleman probe would not be reopened.
“We conducted a thorough investigation, as I understand it, at the time and the matter is closed,” Weir said.
“We talked to everyone at the time – witnesses, ambulance … the fire brigade.”
Government Minister Steve Dimopoulos said the 2013 crash had already been “thoroughly” investigated.
“This is over a decade old,” he said.
“The most appropriate authorities have investigated this thoroughly and have made no adverse findings.
“Beyond that, the Premier himself has answered questions on this almost as many times as he’s answered questions on Covid.
“This has been thoroughly examined and I really don’t have any more to say.”

And what about the lack of water before White Settlement) when there were NO Dams. Unless Bruce Pascoe has invented them for one of his books.
‘If there is one received wisdom imbibed equally by Left and Right it is that the kids are all woke. In Britain and the USA, support for left-wing parties correlates almost precisely with youth.
It was not always thus — young people were a decisive factor in electing Margaret Thatcher. But the dramatic left-ward shift of the youth vote encourages many left-liberals to believe that demographics are destiny and that time will bring the unstoppable triumph of progressive values.
One problem with this sweeping assumption is that it is parochially Anglocentric. In Europe, nationalism is primarily a youth movement, and a rapidly growing one at that.’
The kids are alt-right
@132 & bush:
There is now MORE water available on the land than there has been since the “Inland Sea” went away, a million or more years ago.
Amusingly enough, apart from graziers and grain growers, the greatest beneficiaries have been the macropods. Skippy and her kin did very well out of the creation of a denser network of available surface water provided by everything from small “turkey nest” dams to the tapping of the Great Artesian Basin and its network of bore drains. Kangaroos are as tough as old boots. Their hides are highly prized as raw material for shoes and jackets, etc., but they need water, like the rest of us.
Having a very long history of having to survive in a “boom or bust” environment, they also have an interesting breeding trick up their… pouches? They are a frisky bunch, with adult females being almost perpetually pregnant. Often seen with one hopping alongside, and one in the pouch, they also keep “spares” dormant, internally. As one gets booted out of the pouch to start fending for itself, the one in “storage ” does the long crawl up to the pouch and latches on. “Twins” do sometimes occur; not all of them survive to maturity.
Whilst the pictures are suggestive of a higher speed and ‘car hit bike’ not ‘bike hit car’ crash, I would caution placing much weight on an ‘ambulance report’:
I was a member of SA Ambulance for decades, taught them on ‘Impact Biomechanics’ and read a large number of their ‘case cards’ which detailed patient details at crashes. Ambulance crews do not conduct accident investigations, are not trained in such, and are not good judges of impact forces, particularly when involving vehicles and pedestrians or bicycles. I saw a great number of lightly injured patients brought in whereby the relevant forms stated ‘struck by car at 60km/h, car v pedestrian, 80 km/h etc. This being despite the fact that such speeds would likely cause serious if not fatal injury. Ambulance crash speed estimates seemed to correlate mainly with posted speed limits, not impact velocities.
I dont doubt the hunch back is covering something up, but the ASV ‘report’ adds little weight to the existing evidence I’m afraid.

I have heard it said that putting a driver on the bag after a prang, irrespective of injury and/or damage, is mandatory. It is not a suggestion. In relation to the first-mentioned ‘didn’t appear to be affected’ pack of lies:
Apparently the equipment records the time, date, location and result of every test. You can’t delete these records. If true – this would mean that had these clowns put the Premier’s wife on the bag and the wrong numbers came up, she would have been in quite the pickle – and so would the Premier if he was anywhere near her at the time.
Rumour also has it that when a couple of jacks happen across an incident of this type, the job – which includes brief preparation and/or all reports relating to it – is allocated to one of them before they get out of the van. This practice eliminates the exact ‘Oh I thought you did’ circumstance described by Ashton, and also means there’s one less statement on the brief so it’s an efficiency measure as well.
So, it’s simply either malicious or negligent on an ocean-going level. It was not a mistake.
Heaven forbid anyone look at the phone records of those two imbeciles, because I will guarantee that one of them will show a panicked phone call to the big old sergeant back at the station, from shortly after time and date of the prang, and containing the phrase ‘Whaddawedo?’

Ugh, Hun:
Australia will experience a massive surge in migration over the next two years —— around 715,00 people — further worsening the country’s growing rental crisis.
On Friday state and territory leaders were briefed that the May Budget will reveal net-overseas migration will top 400,000 people in the year to July.
The forecasts, which will be included in the budget, reveal the net increase in population from migration in the 2023-2024 year will be 315,000.
In October the government was predicting net overseas migration would only be 235,000 for both 2022-23 and 2023-24.
In January Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the number was likely to be much higher
A leaked briefing note provided to national cabinet said the net increase in the migrant population of 715,000 people over two years “is higher than previously forecast due to the faster than expected return of international students and working-holiday makers following the reopening of borders”.
The revelation comes a day after Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil told the National Press Club, she was not “someone who advocates for a big Australia”, adding “what’s really important to me is that we’ve got these big national problems facing our country and we’re not getting the right people here through the migration system to help us address them.” (wtf?)
The government expects net overseas migration “to fall back towards historical trends of 235,000 per year, which is the assumed level in the medium term”.
Speaking after national cabinet on Friday, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese admitted “if you look at the numbers for this year, they’re high but that’s in recognition of the fact that the borders were closed previously, so the population is lower today substantially than it would have been in terms of the projections that were there prior to the pandemic.”
He also blamed the increase in the net-overseas migration numbers on the fact “Australians (are) not leaving in the numbers, and that’s continuing to be the case, not leaving to work overseas, to do the six month visitation that occurred. I did it as a backpacker, as a young fellow, so did most of my generation”.
The surge in migration over the next two years comes amid collapses in the building industry and a drop in approvals for new builds across Australia as well as home lending.
Last month Property Exchange Australia published a paper on Australia’s growing rental crisis which found 80 per cent of tenants in Sydney reported they are paying more than the asking price for their rentals
Opposition immigration spokesman Dan Tehan said the quiet release of the data showed the Albanese government was committed to creating a big Australia by stealth.
“What will be the impact on housing, on rents, on congestion and on interest rates?” he said. “The Australian people will suffer as a result given the size of these numbers.”
FMD. The article had pics of Chalmers and Tehan, so I take one on behalf of this site.
So a power generation plant is shut down, with these people to be placed in Sydney or Melbourne, no discernible infrastructure being built to accommodate them, so one would think that Australia is governed by complete mongs.

It doesn’t in a lot of ways. Likely you have read their basic law as I have and there is a lot missing that you’d expect them to have. It is bare bones and I suppose for a reason.

Given how many Jews returned to Israel from Europe, it was a tough lesson they would never forget.
A lack of detail leaves them without a mechanism to solve the problem but I suppose the idea was to copy Britain somewhat and make any attempt to seize power blatantly obvious, subject to a multiparty Parliament and not on offer to an executive with an “emergency provision” a would be dictator could keep up his sleeve.

A big Australia is fine; we need water, power, land for private sector use, primary and tertiary industry; and to let Australians have families, large families. Systematically the Greens and ALP have sought to shut down the interests of their working class voters by attacking, vilifying and shutting down or prohibiting commercial fishing, native forestry, mining, farming, coal fired power and nuclear power along with dams.
Treating migrants like tax livestock really is cynical and the yet more cynical post centre leftists out there might even call it substantive racism.
Immigration will happen regardless if people want to live here; why the ALP is obsessed with such a larger immigration target than we ever had before speaks to their interests of propping up union run “Industry” Superannuation funds and REITs. There is no interest to help or more importantly to stop hindering Australians that have been here for 40,000 years, eight generations or who just got their citizenship. We’ve never seen them desire to make taxes (taxes and government fees) on dwellings go down and the last dam or power station they’ve approved was back when ???

Ireland is about to pass one of the most radical hate speech bills yet. Merely possessing “hateful” material on your devices is enough to face prison time.
Not only that, but the burden of proof is shifted to the accused, who is expected to prove they didn’t intend to use the material to “spread hate”. This clause is so radical that even the Trotskyist People Before Profit opposed it as a flagrant violation of civil liberties. Dark times.
Not knowing anything about the Israeli Constitution its seems to me having a simple one allows for claims to be dealt with promptly. The bigger the Constitution the more spurious claims to be made and hid behind. The little I know of Jews are that they are very pragmatic, having to be by the disgusting treatment dealt to them over the centuries.

The changes to allow students to work more hours & letting their spouses work too answers a puzzling question I’ve had over the past few years.
During 2020 when half a million international students went home & student accomodation was near empty, there were still deals being done at nose bleed prices to build substantially more student accomodation in Sydney, Melb & Brisbane (especially Sydney).

I went to the library with grandchildren yesterday.
Interesting to see what was available in the picture book section.
I seem to remember public libraries never having anything that was overtly Christian, no nativity stories or Noah’s Ark etc but now books with Ramadan featuring in the title are prominent and anyone who’s anyone has an Aboriginal themed book published.
Maybe they were on the shelves because no-one actually wants to borrow one. I did find a Gene Zion my gs didn’t own and another little boy who was there asked me for the Harry the Dirty Dog I’d put back.
Lots of moralistic environmental and equality stuff too, all rather dull.
I picked up another book by someone Tregonning; black and white cartoons, no text, seemed to be about children with depression, it made me a bit depressed.
We did find a couple of others worth taking home, a decent funny story about Dinosaurs and another about a little boy who always got up too early.
Did better at the op shop, four Mog the cat books by Judith Kerr and a Danny and the Dinosaur, fifty cents each. My gs said the Danny and the Dinosaur book was staying at his place (I’ve saved the Mog books for another day).

Re Israel there was an enormous demonstration on Thursday in favour of judicial reform:
Organizers estimate 600,000 at pro-government demonstration in Jerusalem (27 Apr)
Out of a population of less than 10 million. Yet I suspect you’d be hard pressed to know that from the MSM. The trouble of course is that the Left already have what they want, which is control of the Supreme Court and the AG’s office, both of which are actively blocking righty legislation. Therefore they’re playing hardball and avoiding any meaningful negotiations. If a referendum were possible they’d block it anyway.
All of this is being blamed on Netanyahu of course, by the MSM, and the polls are tanking. And Mossad has been sprung undermining the government. It’s so like the US.

Whistleblower Who Was Reportedly About to Reveal “Explosive” Information On the Biden Crime Family’s Corruption Has Disappeared (27 Apr)

Now he has gone missing under mysterious circumstances. Luft was an adviser to CEFC China Energy (CEFC), a business conglomerate with extremely close ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

Indeed…. more ppl = more spending = higher ‘gdp’ = a ‘growing economy’….
That, plus the constant erosion in the value of the dollar via inflation gives the illusion of wealth and a growing economy.
Incidentally, individual ‘standard of living’ = GDP ÷ number of citizens, and (real) economic output is correlated (almost perfectly) with eneegy consumption.
Our future energy consumption *MUST* go down (due to the combined effects of falling fossil fuel EROEI and the planned transition of our economy to *less energy dense* forms. Add this to our massive accumulated debt (= future productivity consumed now) and it is a mathematical certainty our future must be poorer.
A nationwide class action lawsuit in Australia was just filed, with 500 members seeking redress for persons injured or bereaved due to the COVID-19 vaccines. Naming Australia’s national government, the Department of Health and the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) as well as numerous senior bureaucrats in government, members of the class, including a litigant who experienced severe heart damage associated with the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA COVID-19 vaccine suggest a ‘cover up’ where health authorities and industry covered up the potential risks associated with the class of vaccine. Filed in New South Wales Federal Court this week, GP Dr. Melissa McCann of Queensland has been a key organizer and fundraiser driving the lawsuit. She secured over $110,000 via crowdfunding to advance this mass action claiming that the defendants are guilty of negligence due to their approval of the COVID-19 vaccines, as well as breach of statutory duty and misfeasance in public office.
To date, the TGA reports 138,307 total adverse event reports out of almost 66 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines administered, equaling a 0.2% rate.

Quiet US Seizure Of Iranian Crude Prompted Iran’s Capture Of Houston-Destined Tanker
BY TYLER DURDEN
When on Thursday the US Navy announced that Iranian commandos had seized a Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman, conveniently absent from the narrative was the fact that just days prior the United States seized a ship laden with Iranian crude, identified as the Suez Rajan which was destined for China.
“US authorities ordered a tanker of Iranian crude oil to redirect towards the US in recent days, in a move officials believe was the trigger for Iran’s decision to capture a US-bound tanker on Thursday,” the FT reports. “
Three people briefed on the situation said the US had intervened to summon a ship loaded with Iranian crude, originally destined for China, as Washington looks to step up enforcement of sanctions on Tehran.”
The Thursday seizure of the Advantage Sweet Suezmax crude tanker by the Iranians, which had been chartered by Chevron to move product from Kuwait to Houston, had resulted in swift condemnation by the Biden administration, with the US calling on Iran’s government to immediately release the oil tanker.
While the Advantage Sweet incident grabbed international headlines, Washington’s action against the Suez Rajan (a Greek tanker carrying Iranian product) was not widely publicized or even known about.
But US officials are now making the following belated admission:
The previously unreported US action towards the Suez Rajan shines a new light on Iran’s decision to capture the Advantage Sweet, a US-bound tanker of Kuwaiti crude that was chartered by Chevron.
A US official said Thursday’s “seizure appears to be in retaliation for a prior US seizure of Iranian oil, which Iran recently attempted to get back but failed”.
From the Comments
– The US MIC is proving itself to be the cancer which must be excised before the World can relax.
– “ordered a tanker of iranian crude destined for china to be redirected to the u.s.”
that’s a plain and simple act of war.
– pretty much an international crime
– crime rising to the level of war.
– In the old days it was called pillaging and piracy.
– OMG US please leave the rest of the world alone
– Until someone punches back the US is going to keep being the playground bully
An excellent outcome. Better ingredients, family time together, kids learning how to cook, better taste choices. Should be more of it.

Action for Alice 2020
Over the past week, police have responded to significant incidents in the Wadeye, Peppimentarti and Daly River communities. These have included large groups fighting, an adult male injured with a crossbow, stolen vehicles driving erratically through various communities and a police vehicle sustaining minor damage. There were no reported injuries to the police.
Earlier today, police arrested 4 offenders in the vicinity of Daly River. Two of the offenders jumped into the Daly River, which is known for its significant crocodile population, trying to evade police. Those males were subsequently arrested.
This is appalling. Using crossbows is cultural appropriation, unless Uncle Bruce Pascoe can advise otherwise.

Epidemic Diffusion: The Hijack of False Narratives in Covid Discourse
SIMPLICIUS THE THINKER
25 APR 2023
One thing I’ve noticed in my brief time on Substack thus far, is there is a wealth of top contributors who work mainly in the vaccine arena; this includes Covid, medical tyranny, engineered diseases, etc. But after having perused many of their pieces and discussions, one thing that’s struck me is how most of them appear to be Red-Pilled in the truth about vaccines and the ‘pandemic’, but not quite fully Black-Pilled.
I never intended, intentionally, to carry the ‘Black-Pilled’ water-jug, or to even make such distinctions. I simply created this space to strive in reporting the truth as I transparently see it. So it’s a little strange how many patently obvious things are still ‘taboo’ or seem a bridge too far for many truth-seekers who stand at the edge of the precipice, but can’t quite bring themselves to take the plunge.
And this is not a new phenomenon.
The coverage of every major conspiracy-level event in history has been subsequently stratified into different rabbit-hole levels of interpretative tolerance.
Some are content to establish their truth barrier at a given pain threshold, plopping down their rostrum and finding a willing audience.
Others sink deeper beyond that comfort zone, into the wild blue, abyssal yonder of the sea floor, taking their smaller, more fringe congregation with them.
Two of the offenders jumped into the Daly River, which is known for its significant crocodile population, trying to evade police. Those males were subsequently arrested.

Ukraine Intelligence Admit to Using FBI to Remove Facebook Content They View as “Against Our Country”
April 28, 2023 – Sundance
Comrade rebels, a remarkable bit of independent journalism by Lee Fang, who interviews a high-ranking Ukraine intelligence official named Ilia Vitiuk.
Within the interview the head of the Ukraine Cyber Information Security Service admits to how they use the FBI to pressure Facebook into removing content the Ukraine government doesn’t like.
[…] “Once we have a trace or evidence of disinformation campaigns via Facebook or other resources that are from the U.S., we pass this information to the FBI, along with writing directly to Facebook,” said llia Vitiuk, head of the Department of Cyber Information Security in the Security Service of Ukraine.
“We asked FBI for support to help us with Meta, to help us with others, and sometimes we get good results with that,” noted Vitiuk. “We say, ‘Okay, this was the person who was probably Russia’s influence.’” (read more)

Journalist Seymour Hersh has uncovered evidence that a substantial portion of military hardware sent to Ukraine winds up being sold on the black market.

Common thread. Look no further than the green climate religion…which I might add has the particular support of the young and less amongst Boomers. Therefore the real blame is on the people who went through after the Left had captured the education system and indoctrinated two entire generations of kids. With help from the MSM of course. Although to some extent I suppose you can’t entirely blame people so thoroughly inculcated into the climate cult that they know nothing else.
Nothing short of pain will break the cycle. Fasten your seat belts.
Equity and the Race to the Bottom
Over the last few years, the rallying cry of “woke” activists has become “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (often abbreviated to DEI).
There is little reason to object to such principles on the surface. After all, America was founded on the principle that all people are created equal. Unfortunately, the meaning of words can change over time.
Rather than the Founders’ vision of equal opportunity for all, the use of the word “equity” today denotes equal outcomes for all.
The implementation of this “equity agenda,” however well-intentioned, will lead to terrible consequences.
One of the prophets who warned us about the dangers of this understanding of equity was the great twentieth-century novelist Kurt Vonnegut.
In his 1961 short story, “Harrison Bergeron,” Vonnegut imagined a society with perfect equity. “Nobody was smarter than anybody else,” the narrator says. “Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else.”
As Vonnegut shows, a society looking to equalize outcomes for all citizens is no utopia – it is instead a nightmarish horror.
The only way to guarantee equal results is to handicap everyone so that they perform at the lowest common level.
In the terrifying world of “Harrison Bergeron,” for instance, the government burdens ballerinas “with sashweights and bags of birdshot” so they cannot move more beautifully than anyone else.
The push for “equity” in American society today resembles Vonnegut’s dystopia – but nowhere more dangerously than in the education system.
At the university level, DEI bureaucracies have grown to absurd sizes, and they dominate much of campus life.
A 2021 Heritage Foundation report found 163 DEI personnel at the University of Michigan, 94 at the University of Virginia and 94 at Ohio State, 86 at the University of California Berkeley, 83 at Virginia Tech, and 80 at Stanford (where Associate Dean for DEI Tirien Steinbach was recently put on leave for galvanizing an unruly protest by confronting a U.S. circuit judge who was trying to deliver a campus lecture).
In a growing number of K-12 schools across the country, such as at Culver City High School in the Los Angeles area, honors classes are being eliminated so as not to “perpetuate inequality.” Proponents of this idea say that some students can still obtain an honors “label” by doing extra work.
But more often than not, teachers are simply slowing down instruction for everyone.
Students are increasingly taught at the lowest common denominator rather than being challenged to do their best.
As one student recently told the Wall Street Journal, “There are some people who slow down the pace because they don’t really do anything and aren’t looking to try harder.”
Tasmania. Where tax dollars go to die.
Those who join battle: just read a terrific book by a logistics officer which tells a story of how the individual soldier went from a ‘automaton’ in formation to a trained marksman, a professional soldier with situational knowledge and able to contribute initiative.
Most writing for gun enthusiasts is focused on the tools of the trade Gibbons is about the bigger picture – systems thinking.
An American officer, he bags the heck out of the US Civil War soldiery as untrained and unable to use their modern arms effectively, sticking with the Napoleonic pattern. In contrast, the British mostly got it right and capitalised on the new arms capability in Crimea and then India .

Australian Gas Light Company is (a) irredeemably woke and green and has been for a long time, and (b) knows that gas is needed to support stupid renewables.
And since the Left are suppressing gas extraction AGL can therefore make humungous amounts of munni, first by farming the renewable subsidies, then sadly (more in sorrow than in anger) being forced, FORCED!, to bring in LNG from Qatar to keep the lights on. A more rapacious and mendacious company would be hard to find in Australia.

Human cells can write RNA sequences into DNA, study shows
For the first time, scientists have found evidence that polymerase theta can write RNA segments back into DNA.
By Victoria Rees (Drug Target Review)
14 June 2021
Scientists at Thomas Jefferson University, US, have provided the first evidence that RNA segments can be written back into DNA. According to the researchers, these findings potentially challenge a central dogma in biology and could have wide implications.
Cells contain polymerases that duplicate DNA into another set that goes into a newly formed cell. These also build RNA messages so they can be read more efficiently into proteins. Polymerases were thought to only work in one direction – DNA into DNA or RNA. This prevents RNA messages from being rewritten back into the master recipe book of genomic DNA. However, the study sheds new light on this process.
“This work opens the door to many other studies that will help us understand the significance of having a mechanism for converting RNA messages into DNA in our own cells,” said Dr Richard Pomerantz, one of the lead researchers. “The reality that a human polymerase can do this with high efficiency, raises many questions.”

Pol? reverse transcribes RNA and promotes RNA-templated DNA repair
Science Advances
11 Jun 2021
Vol 7, Issue 24
DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abf1771
Abstract
Genome-embedded ribonucleotides arrest replicative DNA polymerases (Pols) and cause DNA breaks. Whether mammalian DNA repair Pols efficiently use template ribonucleotides and promote RNA-templated DNA repair synthesis remains unknown. We find that human Pol? reverse transcribes RNA, similar to retroviral reverse transcriptases (RTs). Pol? exhibits a significantly higher velocity and fidelity of deoxyribonucleotide incorporation on RNA versus DNA. The 3.2-Å crystal structure of Pol? on a DNA/RNA primer-template with bound deoxyribonucleotide reveals that the enzyme undergoes a major structural transformation within the thumb subdomain to accommodate A-form DNA/RNA and forms multiple hydrogen bonds with template ribose 2?-hydroxyl groups like retroviral RTs. Last, we find that Pol? promotes RNA-templated DNA repair in mammalian cells. These findings suggest that Pol? was selected to accommodate template ribonucleotides during DNA repair.

Stew Peters Show:
Tucker Carlson released a viral video hinting at his future in broadcasting.
Kristi Leigh, the host of Counter Narrative on American Media Periscope, is here to talk about the Fox News Tucker Carlson split and what it could mean for independent media going forward.
Tucker’s twitter video has been viewed over 70 million times.
Tucker exposed the embargo on truth the mainstream media has in America.
He claimed the media prevents honest discussion about war, corporate power, or emerging science.
Tucker could have been fired because of what he reported about the war in Ukraine or his exposing the corrupt relationship between Big Pharma advertising dollars controlling media companies.
Tucker recently admitted he feels guilty for supporting the Iraq war narrative and that he was wrong.
Likewise, Kristi Leigh quit her mainstream media job after she witnessed the top down corporate control media conglomerates have over local T.V. news stations.
It is a scary time in America when traditional media outlets are not capable or allowed to tell the truth to their audience.
However, Tucker and Kristi are correct to point out that there are few Americans who share the truth, and even fewer who listen.
