Who is really in charge?

"Imagine – if you can – not having a conscience, none at all, no feelings of guilt or remorse no matter what you do, no limiting sense of concern for the well-being of strangers, friends, or even family members. Imagine no struggles with shame, not a single one in your whole life, no matter what kind of selfish, lazy, harmful, or immoral action you had taken.
And pretend that the concept of responsibility is unknown to you, except as a burden others seem to accept without question, like gullible fools." A quote from Martha Stout Ph D

Then imagine - if you can, a man with a German sounding name in charge of the WEF.  

 

Censorship Industrial Complex

 The Censorship Industrial Complex Rumble video hosted by Russel Brand is well worth a watch to see how we were manipulated over the last number of years via censorship.

Ireland to tow the line or be fined

 

You may have seen in the Irish Times today how Ireland has been awarded court costs (Against Us) in the court case brought by the EU for infringing the EU Habitats Directive for the past 20 years, an undisclosed amount which is non of our business apparently.

 

This is a Very Very Clever Move by the EU and WEF and the main reason the UK left the EU in my opinion ie they didn't want someone in Davos (Brussels) lording over their Sovereignty, anyway!!!

Because Ireland didn't follow the Habitat Directive rules by failing to designate 217 of 423 sites as special areas of conservation (SACs), neglected to set “site-specific detailed conservation objectives” (SSCOs) at 140 sites; and failed to establish necessary conservation measures to maintain or restore a favourable conservation status on species and habitats.

 

Ireland will now either tow the line or face a HUGE FINE one that will make us a scapegoat, to scare other countries into line. "Towing the Line" will either see an end to peat as a heating source in Ireland, or we pay the fine, the majority of people in Ireland do not use peat for their heating they use electricity, so the few of us out in the sticks who do not want to pay extortionate electric bills will be outvoted.

All the directives, like sewage tank inspections that were shoved under the rug by successive Governments, because they were worried there would be an outcry, like there was with the water meters, will now have to be followed to dodge the fine.

Very Clever Davos Man

International covid summit, European Parliament report

 

No coverage at all on mainstream media of this conference from the International Covid Summit for the European Parliament, which is damning of the World Health Organisation  and how the pandemic was dealt with.

It is just not good enough that we are kept in the dark about science that does not conform with the agenda.

Disinformation Coimisiún na Meán and the National Counter Disinformation Strategy

Disinformation is false information which is deliberately intended to mislead. The only way to overcome lies is with truth, and the Government can't be the arbiter of what that is.

Here in Ireland, there is currently under development a National Counter Disinformation Strategy.

The European Digital Media Observatory (EDMO) Ireland Hub, recommends that the Strategy should:

Coordinate national efforts to counter organized coordinated campaigns of manipulation of Irish internet users and ensure transparency about content moderation policies that impact Irish citizens.

Develop effective long-term monitoring of the application of the EU Code of Practice on Disinformation and the Digital Services Act in Ireland.

Be developed in consultation with all relevant Departments and agencies, the Irish EDMO Hub, industry stakeholders, news organizations, civil society groups and Irish fact-checkers and disinformation researchers. The Strategy should also incorporate a role for Irish citizens, potentially seeking oversight of decisions impacting Irish users of content platforms, or complaints filed by them.

Examine other examples of other international best practice.

Build relationships between platforms and academic researchers that facilitate access to data that would inform better interventions to prevent the spread of disinformation.

Identify measures to support innovation in fact-checking and disinformation research and provide support for innovation in areas critical to compliance with the new regulatory environment created by the Digital Services Act;

Review existing media literacy initiatives in Ireland, including an examination of potential for a more joined-up approach between relevant government departments and agencies on the development of media literacy initiatives. Pilot programs for media literacy emerging from this review should be eligible for direct support under the Media Fund.

Acknowledge the important role that free, independent, high-quality journalism plays in countering disinformation, and align with efforts to protect the supply of public interest information at local and national level.

A body to be known as Coimisiún na Meán has been established to provide for the policing.

So, the countering of Disinformation here has been all neatly contained and bundled up in a nice tidy bow, with as you can see in the recommendations, relevant government departments, industry stakeholders, news organizations, civil society groups etc each having an input into what is TRUTH.

However, I would ask, who are the industry stakeholders that are going to be responsible for say, information about a pandemic? Will they be big pharma AGAIN or will we see people like Dr John Campbell in mainstream media analyzing and dissecting peer reviewed reports that show we have been lied to about Covid Harms, mRNA spike proteins causing myocarditis and all the medical evidence that was hidden in the past.

Or maybe having no monetary investment in a product, just the well being of citizens, makes one not a stakeholder.

Its easy to throw up your arms and shout, “FAKE NEWS, FAKE NEWS” and these new moves will make it easy for information to be labeled and hidden behind a label of disinformation, but we need proof of disinformation we need debate that is transparent and unbiased. What we do not need is a method for stakeholders to suppress the truth in order to satisfy agendas that are neither transparent or in our best interests.

The reality of electric cars, in my eyes anyway.

Electric car battery capacity is usually measured in kilowatt-hours. It’s the electric car equivalent to the size of the fuel tank in a petrol or diesel car.

• Battery Size = 73kWh
• Power of Wallbox Charge: 7kW
• Time to Fully Charge = 73 / 7 = 10 hours 25 mins 
• If you have a car with a fast charging facility like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 the amount of time can be reduced dramatically unfortunatelly the cost to recharge the car depends on the speed of the charger. For example, charging at home using a 7kW AC wallbox would cost around 18p per kWh, the average rate for electricity. 
• However, 50kW DC and 150kW DC chargers cost much more, starting at 32p and 38p per kWh respectively and the ultimate ultra-rapid 350kW charge costs 69p per kWh. So a 73kWh battery charged at home takes 10 hrs 25 mins and costs £18.70 or if you want a really fast charge in 20 mins or so it will cost £50.37 
• The Hyundai Ioniq 5 (£42,485) boasts between 240 and 298miles and has covered 270 miles in real world tests so it should make it from Luing to Glasgow and back (approx 210 miles) if the temperature is optimal. Driving an EV on a cold day (-6 degrees celsius) without switching on the cabin heater or any other heated components reduces the range by 12%. The optimal range of driving temperatures is 20-27 degrees celsius. So in the winter, if you wear Long Johns, thermal vest and heaps of clothes so you are not using the heater, it is still possible as the range will now be about 237 miles. You will have to have a short day in the city right enough so you dont use your lights and better listen to itunes on your phone rather than the car player. 
• If you dont make it home before the battery goes flat you are in luck the AA can help, if you are signed up for their breakdown assistance they can tow you to Tesco in Oban who have a 50kWh charger. It might be a wee wait for them to come and for the charger to do its stuff but hey you are saving the world and at least the car ferry runs 24 hours, ok that was a joke, you are not saving the world and the car ferry doesnt run 24 hours.

According to  the michelin route planner it would cost me £53 to drive my Nissan the same route, I would still have 383 miles left in the tank, I could have the heater, CD and lights on and not have to worry signing up for AA assistance and I'd make the ferry. Sounds like a no brainer to me, especially as I dont believe Greta and Al Gore as far as I could throw them.

 

Capitalism with Chinese Characteristics.

Klaus Schwab Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum is a big fan of Capitalism with Chinese Characteristics. He said as much when visiting the country at the end of 2022 when he commended China's "achievements," and suggested the nation could be a "role model" for others around the world.

Now I dont know if you think the Chinese model is as perfect as he thinks it is but to give you an idea China's CBDC is linked to one's digital ID, where one can pay with their palm (digital ID). China's Cashless society is a 'surveillance economy' where people lose all privacy, are controlled, tracked and cancelled at the whim of the government. 

Capitalism with Chinese Characteristics has already started here in Ireland and the UK and actually all over the World, THEY are using Global Warming as an excuse to introduce all sorts of new Dystopian measures, Digital ID's, CBDC's (Cashless society), 15 min cities, the end of cars to all that can't afford a EV, the end of free speech and the right to protest, A One World Government, One organization, the WHO in charge of  Health, the list goes on and on, censorship and books being modified. ESG's (Environment, Social and Governance)

I'm sorry to say we have been guilt tripped into believing that our way of life  (up till 2019) was privileged and if they take away those rights we have not really lost anything. This is not true, the majority of people were not privileged they worked all their life, and tried to save for a pension, a few years later when they die any savings are taxed again. The people unable or unwilling to work are given state assistance to keep them alive hardly a privilege. 

We Must say no to  Capitalism with Chinese Characteristics if we value our freedom and cultures.
