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 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.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.
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.
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.

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.
Have you ever heard the adage ‘The welfare of mankind has long been the alibi of tyrants’?
The World Health Organisation aims in its new treaty to oversee surveillance for new and variant viruses, identify them, determine their ‘threat’ and implement a response. It also seeks to implement an international database system enabling nations to enforce travel restrictions through tools such as vaccine certificates, prophylaxis certificates, testing and recovery certificates along with passenger locator forms and a traveler health declaration, all preferably tied to a personal QR code.
The WHO, if this treaty is ratified will have sovereignty over member states regardless of how often they are saying they will not.
Do you really want all your health, banking and personal details stored in one digital location?
Have you ever heard of someone having their credit card stolen or companies being hacked?
Say no to Digital ID's and the WHO taking over from Governments in health decisions, they proved themselves not up to the task in the last pandemic.
When I left school one of my first attempts to make a wage was tree felling, it was awful hard work especially in the early days as I done no research and had zero experience with a saw.
Maybe the sort of job you are born into, anyway I only lasted a couple of years before moving to a sawmill for a weekly wage.
Its handy nowadays to be able to handle a chainsaw safely as are a lot of life experiences.
That's one of the reasons I smirked when reading the quote from Leroy Reitsma, Vice President, Pinnacle Pellet Inc when he said "With the economic downturn in the forest industry, it has forced us to have to diversify our fibre supply. The good news for the entire community is what it does is it will create significant employment. At the end of the day, the community is the winner because there are more jobs in the community."
Here is a bit of history about Pinnacle Pellet Inc. It was owned by Pinnacle Renewable Energy Group a private company owned by the Swaan family of Quesnel, British Columbia having commenced operations in 1989 with the opening of their Quesnel plant.
It went on to operate six plants across BC with a productive capacity of 1,050,000 tonnes of wood pellets annually which comprises fifty-six percent of Canada’s total pellet production.
The Meadowbank plant, located near Quesnel, was first designed and built with the expectation that ninety percent of the fibre supply would be provided by the nearby Dunkley Sawmill operations, and they recieved grants because they were going to provide employment.
With the reduction in production at the sawmill, the pellet plant is receiving only forty-five percent of its fibre needs directly from Dunkley Lumber.
You might be wondering by now why I'm ranting about the Pinnacle Renewable Energy Group Well you may have seen the Panorama TV program on 3rd Oct 2022 that analysed satellite images, traced logging licences and used drone filming to prove how they have been cutting down virgin forests for your GREEN RENEWABLE ENERGY. see links in comments
Ecologist Michelle Connolly told Panorama the company was destroying forests that had taken thousands of years to develop.
You may be asking who the heck are Pinnacle Pellet and what has it to do with us in the UK, Well they had a few rebranding change of names, and are now owned by DRAX you may have heard of them?
According to the Drax hyperbole on their website "The acquisition will increase Drax’s annual operational capacity to 4.9 million tonnes of sustainable biomass pellets from 2022, at 17 plants in locations across Western Canada and the US South – up from 1.6Mt now. Of this increased capacity, 2.9 million will be available for Drax’s self-supply requirements from 2022. It will also give the Group access to four deep water port facilities and three major wood fibre baskets."
The Carbon Capture element that has led Drax into being the "go to" example of progress in reducing C02 and negative emissions needs our attention, the logic of the negative emissions argument is that burning wood is “carbon neutral” because trees absorb CO₂ from the atmosphere in the first place, and you are simply releasing it back. When you combine this with a carbon capture facility, it is argued, you are therefore removing CO₂ from the atmosphere overall. see link . And how about Carbon monoxide and the process also produces other noxious emissions, such as volatile organic compounds and oxides of nitrogen, which are responsible for acid rain.
