New Zealands leading magazine on The Palestine Laboratory "IndyWatch Feed National"

Ive just returned from a week-long book tour in New Zealand for The Palestine Laboratory. 4 cities in 5 days, I spoke at packed public events, engaged with journalists and politicians, met huge numbers of Palestine activists and visited the Christchurch mosque where 51 Muslims were massacred in 2019.

Jewish Voice for Labour embraces the Palestine lab "IndyWatch Feed National"

A great review of my new book, The Palestine Laboratory, by Andrew Hornung for the UKs Jewish Voice for Labour:

Loewensteins great contribution is to pull together a vast trove of information about this sector, its activities, its origins, its power and its effects. The books central idea, reflected in its title, is that Israels expertise in this area indeed, its Unique Selling Point derives from its use as a tool in supressing the struggle for Palestinian rights, in particular in the Occupied Territories. If facial recognition technology can be successfully used in Hebron to monitor Palestinians, why not use it in South America, in Myanmar or Uganda?

The True Cost of Julian Assanges Persecution: An Exclusive Interview with Stella Assange "IndyWatch Feed National"

The MintPress podcast, The Watchdog, hosted by British-Iraqi hip hop artist Lowkey, closely examines organizations about which it is in the public interest to know including intelligence, lobby and special interest groups influencing policies that infringe on free speech and target dissent. The Watchdog goes against the grain by casting a light on stories largely ignored by the mainstream, corporate media.

Fundraiser

It is now four years since Julian Assange was imprisoned in Belmarshs high-security prison in London and eleven since he was forced into hiding in the Ecuadorean Embassy in the same city. But even before then, the Australian publisher and WikiLeaks co-founder has been under relentless attack from powerful bodies his organization exposed.

Today in The Watchdog studio, Lowkey is joined by Assanges wife Stella. Stella Assange is a South-African born lawyer and human rights defender. Her most famous case is undoubtedly that of her husband, whom she married in 2022. For years, Stella has tirelessly traveled the world raising awareness of Julians situation. Before marrying Julian, she attained degrees from the School of African and Oriental Studies (SOAS) in London and from the University of Oxford. Earlier this year, she met with Pope Francis to discuss the situation of whom Lowkey described as the political prisoner of our time.

For Lowkey, Assanges brilliance was taking his anti-war passions and finding a way to directly work with units within the U.S. military to make the public aware of the illegal, immoral, and deeply unpopular decisions being taken in our name. As he said today:

Some of the most deeply heinous and hideous aspects of the Iraqi and Afghan occupations by the U.S., Britain and their allies, have been revealed within the WikiLeaks files. We are talking about millions of documents being made available to the public to understand truly what was happening.

Perhaps the most infamous leak was the Collateral Murder video, which showed footage of American helicopter pilots casually carrying out a massacre of Iraqi civilians in Baghdad in 2007, two of whom were Reuters-employed journalists.

Despite this, the media cheered Assanges arrest. The Washington Posts editorial board, for example,...

Record low unemployment rate for NSW "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

Unemployment holds firm


One of the most watched numbers in the economy - the unemployment rate - held firm at 3.5 per cent in June.

The trend rate of unemployment has been 3.5 per cent for the past 11 months. 


Total employment record a solid increase of +32,600, although the population increase is also much faster now.

Over the year total employment increased by 3 per cent to above 14 million, so there were very few signs of material deterioration here yet. 


New South Wales continues to power along, with a strong monthly increase in employment taking the unemployment rate down to a record low of just 2.9 per cent.

Somaliland Minecrafters Show How Children Can Play a Role in Urban Design "IndyWatch Feed National"

 

Some people say, "Give the customers what they want." But that's not my approach. Our job is to figure out what they're going to want before they do. I think Henry Ford once said, "If I'd asked customers what they wanted, they would have told me, 'A faster horse!'" People don't know what they want until you show it to them. That's why I never rely on market research. Our task is to read things that are not yet on the page.

Steve Jobs

Every planning process, whether short term or long term, starts with a question to residents asking what they want for their community. The answer is always the same: a better community. The planners then take this groundbreaking observation and add better community to the plans and the final recommendation. The planners can celebrate that they have given the residents of the city exactly what they wanted: a faster horse.

Urban design must be more nuanced and provide the opportunity for innovation. A process that allows for innovation starts with many humble observations before a single idea is tested. The urban designer needs to read the things that are not already on the page: they need to be able to show citizens the things they didnt know they wanted. A skilled urban designer is also able to observe opportunities hiding in plain sight.

I recently read an incredible article highlighting an innovative, if not radical, approach in the master plan for Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland. Somaliland, a breakaway republic in northern Somalia, was ravaged by civil war and ethnic cleansing where over 200,000 people died. Hargeisa is now a recovering city that is rapidly growing. People between the ages of six and 29 comprise 62% of Somalilands population. The future for Hargeisa rests in the minds of the youth and children of the city. These are the citizens that have the opportunity to chart a different path and develop a city for their future. 

How, though, do you involve young people in the urban design process? More challenging, how do you involve children in a place where over 25% do not attend school and there are very low literacy rates? The answer: Minecraft.

Through a UN-sponsored initiative, 15 of Hargeisas youth used Minecraft to model and propose design elements for the new Hargeisa Stadium Park. According to the article in the Financial Times, they drew on their experience playing in existing improvised spaces, including dangerous street junctions [and] litter-strewn private plots. A larger group of 47 young people participated in a discussion...

Productivity Commissions clapped out thinking demands clean out "IndyWatch Feed National"

"TheCommissions claim that it is too costly topreference the development of domestic industry over imports is completely at odds with contemporary reality and recent experience.These are no ordinary economic times, Australia and the world are going through an industrial revolution as we fundamentally restructure how our societies are powered. Yet the Commission seem to think that its just business as usual."

The Productivity CommissionsTrade and Assistance Review is further evidence of the need to completely overhaul the Commission, the Electrical Trades Union said today.

While the northern hemisphere swelters through record heatwaves, the Commissions report completely overlooks the social cost of inaction on climate change, by considering only the market price of carbon rather than the broader cost of communities being devastated by economic collapse or natural disasters.

ETU National Secretary, Michael Wright, said the Productivity Commission was not up to the task of providing useful advice to Government on energy transition.

"TheCommissions claim that it is too costly topreference the development of domestic industry over imports is completely at odds with contemporary reality and recent experience.These are no ordinary economic times, Australia and the world are going through an industrial revolution as we fundamentally restructure how our societies are powered. Yet the Commission seem to think that its just business as usual.

Revitalising Australian manufacturing will build clean energy supply chains and deliver much broader social and economic benefits than the simple cost of the carbon abated. Its almost like the Productivity Commission completely missed the COVID pandemic, where Australia was left completely exposed without masks, gowns and gloves, because we had gutted our manufacturing industry in the name of economic orthodoxy.

"Australias resilience, diversity, and security all depend on us having robust supply chains and industrial capacity to respond to a warmer, more uncertain world.

It is farcical for the Commission to suggest the Safeguard Mechanism unfairly benefits companies that emit less than 100,000 tons of carbon per year.The entire point of the Safeguard Mechanism is to provide a pathway for high emitting facilities to lower their emissions.

"And when the commission suggests it is unfair to target climate adaptation investments at specific sectors or regions you have to wonder if this report is actuallysatire. Is the Commission seriously suggesting that the lottery of the postcode or industry you started in decades ago, means you should shoulder the cost of a global energy transition?

Ukrainian General said Zelensky is Responsible for 100,000s Dead Ukrainians "IndyWatch Feed National"

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, My cousin is in government here ___________________, and he said you have the best sources that even surpass some intelligence agencies. Only you have been reporting that your Ukrainian sources told you that Zelensky is corrupt and has destroyed his country for a handful of silver. It is coming out that the Ukrainian Army General Serhiy Krivonos has openly said that Zelensky has indeed destroyed his country. He actually said, This colossal mistake resulted in hundreds of thousands of dead Ukrainians and the destruction of a huge number of cities.

My cousin said people from all countries go to you because they have a similar mindset. Would you agree? Why are your sources better than anyone else?

GDK

ANSWER: Zelensky is an actor nothing more. He is destroying his country because he cares nothing about its people and plans his exit to a mansion in Miami. He always dresses in army clothing as a psychological ploy to constantly pretend he is fighting for freedom. This is such a lie, for Ukraine would never have been in such a position if Kiev did not start the civil war attacking the Donbas. This is the dissent against Putin that he did not invade Ukraine as the US did to Iraq. They are ethnic Russians who have been there for centuries in the Donbas. The US has done similar actions involving Americans in foreign nations. Zelensky wants them to surrender their language and their religion. This is absurd. He is willing to destroy his country and hopes that he will be able to sell the farmland and resources to Blackrock and live in Miami as a billionaire tax-free, of course.

Zelensky is listed in the Panama Papers, and the fact-checkers try to divert people away from this fact. When Zelenskys European...

Business As Usual Must Remain Regardless of the Cost? "IndyWatch Feed National"

Joseph Priestly kept his CO2 in a bottle!

Do Carbon Dioxide Offsets Offer Climate Salvation?

From an Essay by Ivy Main, Power for the People, July 20, 2023

In medieval Europe, the Roman Catholic church encouraged sinners to get square with God by performing good works and acts of charity. Since both of these might require spending money, some resourceful church leaders streamlined the process, taking the money and letting the good works slide. A rich sinner could buy indulgences to cover adultery, eating meat during Lent, or any number of other transgressions.

The historical record does not indicate that emitting carbon dioxide was among the redeemable sins. (Well, CO2 wouldnt be discovered until 1754.) Still, medieval Christians would have recognized the attraction of buying indulgences in the form of carbon offsets rather than actually cutting back on CO2-emitting activities. We cant help sinning, so if the act of atonement evens the score, why not grant absolution?

Here in the present, a whole industry has sprung up to sell climate indulgences to guilt-ridden liberals. As one website explains soothingly, Carbon offsets work through supporting tree planting services and carbon offsetting projects to neutralize your emissions and mitigate your impact on the planet. Buying these indulgences requires just a click of your mouse and a credit card. For $25 you can feel good about an airplane flight of up to 10,000 miles! Thats enough to get you from D.C. to Australia, where you can visit the Great Barrier Reef before it is completely destroyed by the ocean acidification resulting from your carbon emissions.

(Ive committed this sin myself: Ive been to Australia, on a miserably long flight the CO2 emissions of which I did not pay $25 to offset. They hadnt invented $25 carbon offsets at the time, or I might have.)

Martin Luther, a 16th century priest who made a name for himself by opposing the selling of indulgences, put the matter succinctly: Indulgences are most pernicious, he wrote, because they induce complacency and thereby imperil salvation.

He meant saving souls, and we mean saving the planet; regardless, he had the psychology right. Were more likely to excuse ourselves for driving gas-guzzlers and flying to cool places if we also pay to plant trees in Africa or bribe Brazilians not to deforest the Am...

Documentary Stare Into the Lights, My Pretties "IndyWatch Feed National"

Editor's Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published April 14, 2018.

Technology didn't come about by accident, it's a reflection of human will, or so claims the intriguing documentary, "Stare Into the Lights My Pretties." Yet, with the rate of technological development continuing to grow exponentially, it's unclear if anyone envisioned how society would become obsessed with staring at screens, such that our waking hours are dominated by them in one form or another.

In the beginning, there were only a few ways to get new technology funded, known as the ABCs. "A," for armed forces, included ARPA, the Advanced Research Projects Agency, which commissioned the work that started the internet.

"B," for bureaucracy, refers to innovations such as government sites intended to deliver information and services, including online tax returns. "C," or corporate power, made up the third arm, which drove the development of new products to draw in new markets.

According to Lelia Green, a professor and senior lecturer at the school of communications at Edith Cowan University, Perth, Australia, who is featured in the film, "Google would offer many examples of corporate power driven development."1 Yet, social engagement is the new driver of technology that has taken off more so in recent years. Green notes that distributed collaborators and everyday innovators are now an important driver of technology.

"The acknowledgement of distributed networks of collaborators allows recognition of the creative power of harnessing the hive;' the community of people engaged in a shared activity," she says. "We see these alliances of enthusiasts working creatively and productively in gaming contexts, in wikis and on fan fiction sites to name but a few," but what does all of this mean, and what will happen if this technological culture is left to continue unchecked?

Are Machines Running Our Lives?

At the foundation of the documentary is the unsettling question of who's really in control: the machines or us? The film gives some unsettling statistics of how integrated technology has become in our 21st century lives:

  • Over 3.8 billion people have access to the internet
  • There are 2 billion active Facebook users every month
  • The average adult spends more than eight hours a day with screens (more time than sleep)
  • Within the first 15 minutes of waking up, 4 out of 5 smartphone users check their phones
  • By the time the average person reaches 70, they will have spent the equivalent of 10 to 15 years of their life watching television, more than fo...

A step back in Rock n Roll time to 1959 "IndyWatch Feed Northcoast"

The only live rocknroll feature film ever made in the 1950s began its screening in May before setting off on a nation wide tour of Australia. 

Miraculously retrieved from a certain journey to the local tip, Melbourne resident Mark Iaria discovered the film while visiting a yard sale clear out in Melbournes northern suburbs. 

After three years of research and restoration, RocknRoll has hit the highway for a modern day roadshow across the country, beginning its journey on May 22 at the Dendy Newtown in Sydney, and then weaving its way throughout Australia for the remainder of 2023.

A closer peek at Franklins pre-election promise failure "IndyWatch Feed Northcoast"

NSW Nationals MLC, Ben Franklin is now President of the NSW Legislative Council. Photo David Lowe.

NSW Nationals MLC, Ben Franklin, has avoided taking responsibility for an unfulfilled $6M funding promise he made just prior to his party losing the state election in March. 

As reported last week, the Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital (BBWH) faces possible closure, after a NSW government panel deemed the facility did not demonstrate value for money in its funding application.

This is despite the panel recognising the hospitals expertise and experience in the provision of veterinary and rehabilitation services for injured native animals. 

The decision was supported by NSW environment minister, Penny Sharpe (Labor) at arms length.

Sharpes office told The Echo at the time that the NSW Labor government never promised the funding, and instead says it supports action on dwindling koala numbers. 

Yet it is unclear what other government assistance is afforded to other native and endangered animals on the North Coast.

Talisman Sabre

Das Gromanver Talisman Sabre wird alle zwei Jahre durchgefhrt und findet in diesem Jahr schon das zehnte Mal statt.[1] Es handelt sich um die grte gemeinsame Kriegsbung der Streitkrfte Australiens und der Vereinigten Staaten, die nicht nur bei bungen, sondern auch in Kriegen regelmig kooperiert haben; so beteiligten sich australische Truppen an den Kriegen in Afghanistan wie auch im Irak. Talisman Sabre ist dafr gedacht, gemeinsame Operationen unterschiedlicher Teilstreitkrfte aus unterschiedlichen Staaten zu trainieren; die bung umfasst unter anderem Seeoperationen, amphibische Landungen, Operationen an Land und den Luftkampf. Beteiligt sind in diesem Jahr 13 Staaten. Den Kern bilden dabei die Streitkrfte der USA und Kanadas, Australiens und Neuseelands sowie Grobritanniens; die fnf Staaten kooperieren auen- und militrpolitisch recht eng und bilden gemeinsam das seit Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs ttige Geheimdienstbndnis Five Eyes. Am Manver beteiligt sind zudem Japan und Sdkorea, die ihre Zusammenarbeit mit der NATO intensivieren.[2] Darber hinaus nehmen aus der Asien-Pazifik-Region Indonesien und Papua-Neuguinea sowie die pazifischen Inselstaaten Fidschi und Tonga teil. Aus Europa sind neben deutschen auch franzsische Truppen eingetroffen; Frankreich begreift sich mit seinen Pazifik-Kolonien bis heute als pazifische Macht.[3]

Realistische bungsmglichkeiten

Talisman Sabre 2023 beginnt an diesem Samstag (22. Juli) und dauert sodann zwei Wochen bis zum 4. August. Genutzt werden zahlreiche Standorte, die sich vom Westen des Landes bis zum Nordosten ber den gesamten australischen Kontinent erstrecken; so entstehen, erlutert die Bundeswehr, realistische bungsmglichkeiten, um abzubilden, wie eine groe multinationale Streitmacht in einem weiten Einsatzgebiet funktionieren sollte.[4] Die Bundeswehr nimmt mit ber 200 Soldaten vor allem aus dem Heer, aber auch aus der Marine an dem Gromanver teil, zu dem insgesamt rund 30.000 Militrs erwartet werden. Die Heereskrfte kommen in der Masse aus dem Fallschirmjgerregiment 31, heit es bei der Bundeswehr; sie werden fr Talisman Sabre 2023 in eine multinationale Brigade integriert, die durch die Australian Army gefhrt wird. Auerdem werden Soldaten des Seebataillons der Marineinfanterie der Bundeswehr, wie die Bundeswehr schreibt bei dem Manver eingesetzt; sie werden dabei temporr den US-Marines unterstellt. Eingesetzt werden sie in der bung unter anderem bei einer amphibischen Landung. In welcher realen Situation die Bundeswehr in der Asien-Pazifik-Region bei einem Landemanver zum Einsatz kommen knnte, teilt die Bundeswehr nicht mit. Den groen politischen Rahmen spannt der Machtkampf des Westens gegen China.

Oil and gas industry campaign challenged for being misleading and worse "IndyWatch Feed National"

Contributed by Jim Hayes

Campaigners against the fossil fuel industry have taken issue with the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Associations (Appea) advertising campaign to convince Australia that gas is a green furl because it is 50 percent cleaner than coal, and essential to lowering greenhouse gases.

Lock the Gate and climate advocacy group Comms Declare have made a submission to the Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) to launch an investigation. The Environmental Defenders Office has sent its own letter to the ACCC, accusing the advertising campaign of potentially misleading the public on several counts.

The fuss is about more than misleading the public. The claims are lies and deliberately withhold critical evidence that proves the fact. This form of dishonest advertising is now called greenwashing, and Appea is guilty of it.

Image from Victoria

This is why the submissions to the ACCC are calling for those responsible to be held accountable.

Greenwashing is dangerous because it delays action on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and undermines competition and consumer trust in green or renewable products, said Kirsty Ruddock, managing lawyer at the EDO.

Last month an Ad Standards panel found Appeas campaign had breached its codes covering environmental claims.

The downside is that the panel took a minimalist position of considering only the lack of clarity and detail on the claims made. It didnt consider whether the claims are true or false. It could have considered that gas emits a high level of methane gas, which is a more potent greenhouse gas that carbon. The 50 percent cleaner than coal tag is...

In the intelligence business, every agent is assigned tasks by his or her handlers. In the case of Agent Zelensky, Ive identified ten obligations that define his relationship with his foreign intelligence masters. Once youve examined each of these, it becomes clear why Zelensky the comedian said one thing, and Zelensky the President did another. What are the true reasons behind the current situation in Ukraine today? What kind of operation has the CIA been running in Ukraine over the course of many years?

On its surface, this acknowledgment appears like one of several marked steps forward by the American music market to embrace the growing popularity and influence of various music genres from the continent. In 2016, Beninese musical legend Angelique Kidjo accepted a Grammy for Best Global Music Album, and foretold an upcoming watershed moment. I want to dedicate this Grammy to all the traditional musicians in Africa in my country, to all the younger generations that knew our music, Kidjo declared. Africa is on the rise. Since then, megastar artists such as Burna Boy and Wizkid have gone on to win Grammys, Billboard has launched the US Afrobeats Songs chart, and seemingly ubiquitous hits such as Wizkids Essence, Remas Calm Down, and Burna Boys Last Last have become Billboard Hot 100 mainstays. Yet, when Mason was interviewed in 2021 about Essence failing to make the finals for Record of the Year as the best-selling African record of all time in the US, the response was noncommittal: It is a great record. Hes a very talented artist. I cant speak to why it didnt make it, but I do really love the record.

For decades, the American music industry at large designated artists like Kidjo to the nebulous genre of world music, a label that is not stratified by any meaningful technical criteria, but by...

INTERVIEW: Freddie Ponton Why NATO is Failing in Ukraine "IndyWatch Feed National"

Why the Wests experimental a la carte approach to fighting their seemingly cock-sure yet obtuse proxy war against Russia has netted such terrible results for Ukraine.

In this episode of the Patrick Henningsen Show on TNT Radio which aired on July 19, 2023,  Patrick talks with independent French researcher and journalist Freddie Ponton, discusses US-UK-NATOs military debacle in Ukraine, and why the Wests experimental a la carte approach to fighting their seemingly cock-sure yet obtuse proxy war against Russia has netted such terrible results for Ukraine, while simultaneously pushing Europe into financial deficit.

Bahrain: UK MPs demand answers after kingdom removed from human rights list

For first time since 2015, Bahrain is dropped from UK government's countries of concern. Lawmakers demand to know how that decision was made

British MPs are pressing the government to explain why Bahrain has been dropped from a list of human rights priority countries with rights groups calling the removal a whitewash.

The decision, revealed last Friday in the governments 2022 Human Rights and Democracy Report, marks the first time since 2015 that Bahrain has not made the list.

The report praises the kingdoms long tradition of respecting and enabling religious freedom and use of alternative sentencing, an effort the UK has supported Bahrain with, and which has significantly reduced the prison population.

It also commended last years parliamentary elections while acknowledging that some political parties remain banned and international observers werent invited.

MEE asked the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) what metrics had been used to make its decision.

Bitboy Predicts XRP Will Soar To $35 On Heels Of Ripple IPO "IndyWatch Feed National"

In a recent tweet, Ben BitBoy Armstrong, a controversial figure in the crypto community, stirred discussions with a noteworthy projection for the future price of XRP. The excitement began when Evan Luthra, an angel investor and Forbes 30 under 30 award winner, tweeted, XRP just surpassed BTC trading volume. Its now the highest trading crypto asset. Whats your price target for Ripple?

Will XRP Rise to $35?

BitBoys response can be classified as very bold when he said $15 is reasonable, I think over 18 months or so. If they IPO and time it right, could be up to $35 imo. At the heart of Armstrongs projection is his belief in the long-term growth potential of XRP, with the projected price of $15 signifying a whopping 1,720% increase from its current price.

This optimism may be bolstered by the recent legal victory by Ripple which has provided some clarity for XRP. Remarkably, BitBoys enthusiasm didnt stop at $15, as he suggested that XRPs price could potentially reach $35 if Ripple proceeds with an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and times it strategically. Achieving this target would necessitate a staggering surge of 4,200%.

The rumors about an upcoming IPO of Ripple are not new. CEO Brad Garlinghouse hinted at the possibility already before the SEC lawsuit. Its likely the agency threw a wrench in the companys plans.

Nevertheless, it is crucial to approach such forecasts with caution, as BitBoy himself acknowledged the inherent unpredictability of the crypto market. Cryptocurrencies are renowned for their price volatility and susceptibility to various external factors, making accurate predictions a challenging task. BityBoy added:

Make no mistake it may not go that high but XRP IS breaking an all time high this cycle save some sort of pointless, vindictive SEC appeal. (Low chance)

Also, the influencers optimistic outlook on XRPs potential is not entirely new. In April, he had already identified XRP as his top altcoin pick for the next bull run, contingent on a favorable outcome in the SEC lawsuit. A positive resolution would provide the asset with much-needed legal and regulatory clarity, potentially acting as a further catalyst for growth.

In another tweet the influencer reacted to a Twitter user who stated Everything is breaking ATH this cycle. Armstrong answered that he doesnt think so, revealing his picks for such altcoins, Solana, Dogecoin, Shiba all potentially on that list. Previous top 10 coins that didnt make new aths last cycle: NEM, NEO, Dash, BCH, XRP (for good reason) etc. Dont fall into the same trap I did last cycle. Everything doesnt perform.

Armstrong Is Not Without Controversy...

Revised strategy focuses on regions Aboriginal heritage "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

THE draft Wollongong Heritage Strategy 2023-2027, now on exhibition for comment, has been revised to include a stronger focus on Aboriginal Heritage.

Wollongong City Council says identifying, conserving, recording, and celebrating the regions heritage is a key strategic goal.

Wollongong Lord Mayor Gordon Bradbery said the City of Wollongong is on Dharawal Country.

One of the aspects of our history that we wanted to make clear in the draft Strategy is that Wollongongs heritage is much more than just historical buildings. While architectural forms such as cemeteries, ocean pools, historic buildings and memorials are important, our heritage stretches beyond the European-centric lens, Cr Bradbery said.

Instead, our citys heritage has been shaped by cultural and natural landscapes of importance to the local Aboriginal Community, which are now layered with shared heritage values such as agriculture, mining and military history.

Strategy identifies the risks associated with heat for the community and the environment "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

ALTHOUGH floods and bushfires have dominated the news headlines in recent years, heatwaves kill more Aussies annually than all other natural hazards combined.

Heat and heatwaves are the focus of a new strategy that has been drafted by Wollongong City Council in consultation with the University of New South Wales.

Wollongong Lord Mayor Gordon Bradbery said the draft strategy identifies the risks associated with heat for the community, the environment, and Council operations.

Heat is increasingly recognised as a key risk to communities right across Australia. That risk will only grow as our climate changes, said Cr Bradbery.

A heatwave is when both maximum and minimum temperatures stay unusually high for three or more days. Heatwave effects are magnified in built up areas, like Wollongong, where hard surfaces such as roads and buildings retain heat and drive-up temperatures (called the urban heat island effect).

Through this draft strategy, were getting on the front foot and working to understand and reduce the heat risk to current and future residents of Wollongong. Some of the proposed actions ar...

5 Amazing New Discoveries About Light "IndyWatch Feed National"




Ah Yes. for the record, we have multiple reports confirming that certain large animals coexisting on this planet can themselves do just this which is to induce an invisibility cloak.  Think shimmer man in particular.  that is what it would look like.

It appears that a mere light photon can have lots of geometry whose volume is less than needed to allow decay into a sublight particle.  Hmm.  They can also stick together and do odd things like clump up and perhaps somehow merge though that may mean a loss of information..


A lot of fundzamental questions remain unanswered.

Not least is the relationship to TIME produced by the creation of a fundamental particle pair.  This is tied directly to three dimensional particles while photons are sort of not at all.  right now i do think that all photons have a natural thickness measured by the inverse of empirical infinity  which will also vary slightly from Galaxy to Galaxy.

At least i can conjecture at least one firm dimension here and the other two can be all over the map as they obviously are.  again they are not interacting through TIME which is hte pendulum of our creation.

Geometrically we can think of them all mostly as platters for now with a thickness t which is a constant.

The US$300 Trillion Hangover "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

<p><p>What are we to make of it? Is it risk on again? Is it time to load up on stocks?</p> <p>The answer is no. And today we give you no-plus, the real secret to Wall Streets boom-y-ness.  </p> <p>Dont fight the Fed has been one of the most successful formulae on Wall Street. But its not foolproof. And not complete.</p> <p>When the Fed switched from enabling inflation with zero rates in 2020to trying to curb it by increasing rates in 2022an investor would have been well advised to switch too from buying the dips to selling the bounces. Stocks went down.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Doom, gloom and boom</strong></p> <p>But then, they didnt go down. The bounce has now gone on for nine months. It has created a whole new group of rich people the AI Millionaires. And it has produced what looks to many like a new bull marketwith the best six months for the Nasdaq in historyand more to come.  </p> <p>Not only that, but the US economy, too, has so far resisted its long overdue rendezvous with the business cycle. Wheres the recession? Wheres all the doom & gloom we promised?

A broader question worth asking: did the geniuses at the Fed finally get the hang of managing a $24 trillion economyso that their own errors disappear, without pain or embarrassment? The Fed put interest rates far too low and left them there far too long, resulting in far too much debt throughout the world economy. What happens next? Economists argue over a hard landing or a soft landingbut what if theres no landing at? What if the party never ends?</p> <p>Maybe so. But buckle your seat belts, turbulence ahead. Heres a headline story from Bloomberg: <strong>A US$500 Billion Corporate-Debt Storm Builds Over Global Economy</strong>:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>Fears of a credit crisis have receded. But a wave of corporate bankruptcies is building now that an era of easy money has come to an end.</em></p> </blockquote> <p>And heres another: <strong>The US$785 Billion Junk-Bond Maturity Wall Has Never Been So Close</strong>:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>The worlds riskiest borrowers are starting to run out of easy-money era financing and feeling the pinch as they return to a tougher market shadowed by aggressive central banks.</em></p> <p><em>Junk-rated companies staring down a US$785 billion maturity wall are in a race against time to replace debt that they secured when major central banks across the world slashed rates and boosted quantitative easing programs to keep economies afloat in 2020.

Ballina Council hires consulting firm to help create Shaws Bay plan "IndyWatch Feed Northcoast"

The Ballina Shire Council has outsourced initial development of a Shaws Bay management plan to a locally based private consulting company.

The move comes as conversations continue across the country around the merits and risks of governments depleting public services in favour of hiring often expensive external agencies to do work in the public interest.

High profile consulting firms PWC and Deloitte are making headlines for all the wrong reasons, mostly around their exploitation of government information for commercial interests.

They are two of the so-called big four consulting firms to have received millions of dollars in public funds for years to do government work, as part of a trend that some commentators trace back to the era of John Howards prime ministership, while others say it was Gough Whitlam who first acted on scepticism towards public service department workers.

National politics and history aside, the consulting industry may well be thriving at a smaller scale thanks partly to local governments struggling to maintain staff.

The 197203 lot, a staged subdivision at 226 Invercauld Road, Goonellabah, called Eastwood Estate, has been rejected by the Land and Environment Court (L&EC).

This is an amazing outcome, it is a credit that Lismore City Council (LCC) councillors who twice voted to reject the development to have their decision upheld by the Court, Al Oshlack from the Indigenous Justice Advocacy Network told The Echo. 

The development application (DA) by McCloy Project Management to create 203 new residential lots and a residual open space lot and associated ten new roads, bulk earthworks, essential services (water, sewer, power & telecommunications), stormwater management facilities, landscaping and environmental rehabilitation was rejected by LCC on 26 July, 2022.

I was invited by Hape Kiddle to develop a sculpture and we collaborated on Freddo Frog, which was my comment about how companies appropriate nature and that natural response of delight when seeing similar amphibians.

However, the anniversary is an interesting coincidence as recently I've been reflecting on the Fragments exhibtion that Hape curated as I've been focused on researching Murray Cod.

It's a long story, so let me try and make sense of it.

The fragments that formed the exhibition were offcuts from a River Red Gum that Hape Kiddle sculpted into a Murray Cod for the National Museum of Australia.

He offered big chunks of timber to local artists and asked them to use these for the exhibition, while he worked on the sculpture.

Last weekend I ended up at the Museum and went looking for Hape's Cod.

A local flood-affected resident contacted The Echo around their disappointment that a request was denied by the NSW Labor government to have stamp duty waived on new purchases for flood victims who were saying yes to a buyback.

As previously reported, buyback offers made by the the Northern Rivers Reconstruction Corporation (NRRC) are at post-flood market rate, and there is little transparency around the appeals process. The NRRCs responsibilities were transferred to the NSW Reconstruction Authority on July 1.

The resident, who wished to remain anonymous said, At our most vulnerable time, when we need support now more than ever, not only are NRRC failing to aid the recovery process, but the NSW state government are also failing to read the room.

It all began with an Ugly Man competition! Thats right, in 1950, the Ugly Man Competition raised $1,221 towards the building of proper learn-to-swim facilities in Mullumbimby.

From there, it was a range of fundraising events and carnivals that eventually became the Chincogan Fiesta, including Matron of the Mountain, Queen competitions and Maid of the Mountain.

An artists impression of The Bohemian from the DA.

A $57.2 million mixed-use residential and retail development planned for the heart of Byron Bay is back on public exhibition, after the owners decided to modify their plans.

The Bohemian, a three-storey 7,093 square-metre structure proposed for land adjacent to the old Woolies site has drawn a mixed response from locals so far.

One unimpressed resident described the project, proposed for 90-96 Jonson Street, as Gold Coast lite, while another said it was a greedy undertaking.

The Development Application (DA) has already been approved by Council, but has recently been resubmitted with a number of significant modifications and is now on public exhibition. This includes reducing the number of proposed apartments from 54 to 44, and increasing the number of living and private open space areas.

The number of units may have shrunk, but The Bohemian remains a sizeable proposal, including basement car parking for 168 vehicles, ground floor retail and food premises with two levels of two-and three-bedroom apartments above.

INTERVIEW: Mike Benz Exposing Gov-Big Tech Censorship Industry "IndyWatch Feed National"

With the rise of the public-private mass-censorship industry, federal agencies have built a command and control communications pipeline directly into Big Tech with frightening implications for the future of free, open and democratic societies.

In this episode of the Patrick Henningsen Show on TNT Radio which aired on July 18, 2023, Patrick talks with former US State Dept. official and executive director of Foundation for Freedom Online, Mike Benz, about the rise of the public-private mass-censorship industry based in Washington DC and Silicon Valley, but whose tentacles now span internationally. Federal agencies like the DHS (and its censorship arm CISA), the FBI and others have built a command and control communications pipeline directly into Big Tech, and deploy weaponized A.I. tools where they can enact speech control operations and manipulate political outcomes, and even elections. We discuss its emergence following Crimeas breakaway from Ukraine in 2014, and its proliferation in the aftermath of the 2016 election of Trump. All this and more. Listen:

As the Country Burns, Where Are Americas Climate Patriots? "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

Deep-red Texas is baking under a heat dome. True-blue Massachusetts is choking on the smoke of Canadian fires. Purple-state Arizona is scaling back residential construction as severe drought grips the Southwest.

 

The apolitical wrath of climate change has never been more apparent than it is today, begging the question: How can we forge a non-ideological consensus to take on the climate emergency?

 

The notion of a bipartisan crusade against the ravages of climate change in hyperpolarized America may seem positively quaint, especially with a Republican Party still largely denying the severity or, in some cases, the existence of the climate crisis. But in a nation where neither major party has been able to maintain unified power for more than a congressional cycle since 2007, what is the alternative?

 

 

The nation is under assault from an enemy that does not distinguish between races, creeds, religions, or political affiliations. The ravages of climate change are coming for all of us.

 

 

The urgency of the climate crisis does not allow for Pollyanna delusions of a progressive political tide that would rapidly usher in an era of aggressive climate policies. And even in the highly unlikely event of sustained, unified Democratic governance, recent history offers little assurance that Democrats would embrace the far-reaching agenda needed to stave off the worst effects of climate change. Indeed, the Democratic Party, both at the national and state level, has more than its share of climate incrementalists and outright fossil fuel industry apologists. Joe Manchin may be the bogeyman for climate activists, but he is far from alone among Democrats in his bowing to petrochemical interests.

 

So where does that leave us? Perhaps the answer is to reframe the need for urgent climate action in the most American of ways: as one that puts love of country above all else.

 

This is not a mere marketing strategy, but an approach guided by the undeniable facts of climate change. The nation is under assault from an enemy albeit one of our own making that does not distinguish between races, creeds, religions, or political affiliations. The ravages of climate change are coming for all of us.

 

In such circumstances, the only rational response is one that encourages alliances which transcend our broken politics and reject the doomsday path of denial, accommodation and gradual reform. The new climate patriot could be of any political persuasion, and could be just as easily...

Qld 'whiteshoe brigade' developer Graeme Ingles, and Goldcoral Pty Ltd, determined to continue pursuit of the Iron Gate Development proposal in the face of a community which has been resisting development on this site since the 1990s "IndyWatch Feed Northcoast"

 


Echo, 19 July 2023:


Evans Heads locals and other concerned members of the public form the Northern Rivers have raised concerns over Richmond Valley Councils (RVC) apparent lack of preparation to defend the controversial Iron Gates appeal currently underway in the Land and Environment Court (L&EC) in Sydney.


The development application (DA) was rejected by the Northern Regional Planning Panel (NRPP) in September 2022. An appeal was immediately launched by Gold Coast developer Graeme Ingles. Ingles has been trying to regain approval for residential development of the site since his approval was stripped by the L&EC in 1997 after illegal clearing and other works were done at the site. Remediation was required by the L&EC of approximately $2 million, however, this work has never been done by Ingles.

Seymour Hersh: Ordinary People by the Millions "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

Seymour Hersh / Substack Lunch with Tom Frank is a totally American experience. Hes a proud native of Kansas but far from a country boy: he got his doctorate from the University of Chicago and has written a series of influential books. He likes people, food, and telling it like it is. He teases the waiter, talks about a healthy salad, and then orders an overstuffed sandwich that he wolfs down as he dissects the increasingly crazed American political world. Hes not just a guy who happens to be bright and unpretentious and a lot of fun who has chosen to focus on American politics; hes a political prophet who two decades ago saw what others could not glimpse and published Whats the Matter with Kansas?, a bestseller that told how and why the working-class folks of Kansas, once radical progressives, have moved farther and farther to the right in recent years. It was a profound book that foretold much about our current political woes.

In 2016, the sweet-faced Frank put a shiv into the heart of the Democratic establishment in Listen, Liberal, a devastating account of the failures of the party. In 2020 he broadened his canvas to tell the story of populism in the US and its failure to take hold of the nations institutions, framed as a critique of its enemies, in The People, No: A Brief History of Anti-Populism.

His message is more relevant than ever, as we and the world face a most uncertain immediate future. We got into it over lunch a few weeks ago and he agreed to answer my questions in an edited version presented here.

SEYMOUR HERSH: How did we get to the political fault line that gave us a Donald Trump? When did it all start?

THOMAS FRANK: I sometimes feel like its the story of my life, because it all began shortly after I was born in 1965, during the Vietnam era. Within a few years came the beginning of the culture wars and the eclipsing of the old liberal consensus. Its important to remember two facts about it all: First, that every single battle in the culture wars has been presented to us over the years as a kind of substitute class war, as an uprising of ordinary people with their humble values, against the highbrow elite.

The other fact is that, at the same time the Republicans were perfecting the culture-war formula, the Democrats were announcing that they no longer wanted to be the party of blue-collar workers. They said this more or less openly in the early 1970s. They envisioned a more idealistic, more noble constituency out there in the form of the young people then coming off the college campuses plus the enlightened white-collar elite....

Things Are Going Really Poorly for Putin in Ukraine "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

If you are reading the headline of this story and are following whats happening in Ukraine, you might be asking yourself: Really? But hasnt that much-hyped counteroffensive been less effective than the Ukrainians had hoped?

That may be true. However, when you take a step back and think about where things stand, you realize just how poorly the war is going for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Lets look at the big picture: Its been roughly a year and a half since his troops invaded Ukraine. Well, or at least tried to invade.

Since then, Russia has suffered massive losses, both in terms of lives and equipment destroyed. Its tough to say how many casualties the invading forces have suffered, but a new independent assessment estimates that 50,000 Russians have died so far.

In addition, Putins regime is hemorrhaging resources. That does not include the tanks that are being destroyed but also the missiles that Russia keeps firing at Ukraine. Those things dont grow on trees.

And for what? If you had asked Vlad the Invader in February of last year how much territory he thought he would have won by now, the answer probably would not have been Were hoping for some marginal gains in eastern Ukraine.

Obviously, it is true that Ukraine is also suffering heavy losses, and, as the smaller country, its casualties are more difficult to replace.

In addition, its not just soldiers who are getting killed (probably around 20-25,000) but also civilians (close to 10,000). Then there are the millions of refugees and thousands of people who have been abducted and abused.

But inflicting that kind of traumatic punishment on the Ukrainian people wasnt the goal; it was taking their land. And here, Russia has failed.

In defending its country, Ukraine has also used a lot of resources. However, as opposed to Russia, it is getting a steady supply of (often superior) weapons from Western countries, and they come free of....

Bloomberg hit-piece targeting anti-child-trafficking film Sound of Freedom was penned by LGBT activist who opposed stigmatizing pedophiles "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

Joseph Mackinnon The Blaze July 17, 2023

The author of Bloombergs Saturday smear of the massively successful anti-child-trafficking film Sound of Freedom was penned by a radical LGBT activist who has argued in favor of destigmatizing pedophilia.

Noah Berlatskys apparent eagerness to brand the films popularity as ominous has prompted others online to both consider his possible motivations and review his past writ on the subject of pedophilia.

The critique

In his July 15 Bloomberg article, entitled QAnon and Sound of Freedom Both Rely on Tired Hollywood Tropes, which has since been republished by the Washington Post, Berlatsky suggested that the film has been embraced by the far right and Christians in part because the far right is motivated by myths of corrupted innocence and corruption avenged.

Berlatsky rehashed claims advanced in a similar hit-piece by a senior writer at Rolling Stone, intimating that the films presentation of trafficking is misleading.

As if to reassure, Berlatsky claimed that the majority of children sexually trafficked are actually between the ages of 15 and 17, adding that in 41% of the cases, a family member was involved. Behind those numbers are often stories of addiction, disowned LGBTQ+ people and trading sex on the street to survive.

Thats why experts worry that Sound of Freedoms stranger danger narrative, and the way it centers on victims who are as innocent and as sympathetic as possible, may make it more difficult to organize help for less perfect victims when they are targeted by those close to them, he continued.

Just as the depiction of victims as innocent or sympathetic are allegedly problematic, so too are the Hollywood depictions of good and bad where the bad guys are unremittingly evil, and the good guys are sensitive and unfailingly virtuous.

Is Sound of Freedom a QAnon dog whistle, or is it just another thriller? The answer is that whatever the filmmakers intentions it functions as both, wrote Berlatsky. These narratives do little to help victims. But they can create coalitions of feeling, disgust and righteous rage that connect conservative conspiracy theorists with the mainstream....

Heat Is Radiating From A Huge Mass Under The Moon "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

 


Of course we do not know for sure but this is likely. We have granetic masses all over and they are typically intrusions telling of a hot mass of rock squeezing upward without all the drama of volcanism.  again, rare elements do not concentrate but radiate to produce heat.  So yes this is the likely answer.

Yet i also conjecture that this lunar crust was also boosted straight out of the Pacific basin on Earth itself before water went to work to alter everything.  I would like to see a live debate on this impossibility to establish a balance of probabilities.

We already know that the MOON is very much a Deus ex Machina.  More important it is ours and is used to sustain our hyper stable surface climate.  It is also impossible that it was not manufactured top to bottom. after knowing that, it is then all about inferances.

New Evidence In Tupac Shakur Murder Case As Las Vegas Police Conduct Search "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

The tragic demise of Tupac Shakur, an iconic figure in the world of hip-hop, has been a topic of intrigue and speculation for over two decades. The investigation into his murder, which took place in Las Vegas in 1996, has been fraught with controversy and unanswered questions.

On that fateful night of September 7, 1996, Tupac Shakur was shot multiple times in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. He was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries six days later. The murder of this influential rapper sent shockwaves through the music industry and his fans worldwide.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) was tasked with the responsibility of investigating this high-profile case. However, despite their best efforts, the case remains unsolved, and the identity of Tupacs killer remains unknown.

In a recent development, the LVMPD executed a search warrant at a residence in Las Vegas as part of the ongoing investigation into Tupacs murder. The search warrant was issued following a tip received by the police department, according to the Associated Press. The police have not disclosed the specifics of the tip or the results of the search, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation.

The execution of the search warrant has reignited interest in the case, with many hoping that this could be a significant breakthrough in the long-standing mystery surrounding Tupacs murder. However, the LVMPD has cautioned against speculation and has reiterated their commitment to conducting a thorough and comprehensive investigation.

The murder of Tupac Shakur is not...

Eliminationism Starts With Language "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

25 years ago at the annual meeting of Portlands Lesbian Community Project, there was a motion on the floor to adopt a statement recognizing trans people as partners in liberation and trans women who joined LCP as full members with rights indistinguishable from other members.

During the discussion from the floor the people who objected to the proposal also rejected all the language necessary to talk about the proposal. They insisted that they were not cis, not not trans, and not non-trans. There was no language acceptable to them which would even allow the debate to be had. Woman, lesbian, and normal were all terms to be used exclusively for them and those these opponents personally validated.

Cis objections to the word cis as well as phrases like non-trans are 100% about who controls normal, but the effort to control normal is not an end of its own. Controlling language or normality and other words and phrases central to discussing the social realities of sex and gender are also about whether or not we are even allowed to have conversations. If opponents of gender liberation sufficiently control the language, then certain ideas cannot be effectively communicated, and meaningful understandings of trans lives cannot even be articulated. Without those understandings, that information about who trans people are, what the trans experience is, and even what is meant by the word trans, there can be no such thing as trans advocacy.

And that is the world they wish to occupy: a world in which they are not merely centred as normal, but a world in which no one can say transness exists, and no argument could ever be articulated in favour of trans humanity. Imagine a world in which sex and gender discrimination is banned, but so is deviation from sex and gender norms. It sounds weirdly dystopian, but its exactly the world weve occupied for much of my life.

For the cis supremacists, rebutting the arguments that trans people are people and that trans rights are human rights is tiring, and places them on the defensive. It even, occasionally, causes them to appear gauche.Their response to the debilitating possibility that they might feel awkward is, obviously, that language must be constructed such that those arguments cannot exist in the first place. Likewise books that make such arguments must be banned. They arent resistant to a particular position on the best way to construct a just world. Like the racists with whom John Venn would be happy to show their extensive overlap, they object to any effort to create a just world.

Their answer (book banning, language control) is also, not incidentally, the answer arrived at by IngSoc, who did not defend their positions so much as obviate defense by eliminating critique: first by linguistic control, later by thought control, and in the last re...

Ukraine Lost Several Armies During Ongoing Conflict Russian Mission to UN

"And the Western countries, instead of stepping up diplomatic efforts, chose to double their support for Ukraine and arms supplies," Dmitry Polyansky added

UNITED NATIONS, July 18. /TASS/. Ukraine has lost more than one army and almost all of its weapons ever since it refused to engage in negotiations, Russian First Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Dmitry Polyansky said at a Security Council meeting.

"The Bucha provocation created the necessary smokescreen, which the Ukrainian leadership used to cover the fact that they chose armed confrontation with Russia instead of peace," Polyansky pointed out, "And the Western countries, instead of stepping up diplomatic efforts, chose to double their support for Ukraine and arms supplies."

"The price of this fateful decision for Ukraine was hundreds of thousands of dead and injured young Ukrainians, whom the Kiev regime now continues to throw into the meat grinder on the eastern and southern fronts, trying in vain to prove to its Western curators that Ukraine can win," the diplomat said, "Since the beginning of the conflict, the country has lost several armies and has practically run out of its own weapons."

Messenger RNA Vaccines in Meat Animals "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines became a household term during the COVID-19 pandemic. But many are unaware that these experimental shots may be used in livestock intended for food.

Concerns that mRNA injections could end up "in the global protein supply chain" prompted warnings from cattle producers and calls for mandatory country of origin labeling (MCOOL) so consumers can choose meat from countries that dont allow mRNA shots in meat animals.Backlash quickly ensued, with media spinning a familiar tune and trying to paint the valid concerns as "conspiracy theories," "fearmongering" and "misinformation."2

Cattle Groups Calls for Caution Over mRNA in Beef

In an April 2023 news release, Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund United Stockgrowers of America (R-CALF USA), a nonprofit that represents interests of independent U.S. cattle producers, shared concerns about the use of mRNA shots in meat animals.

Max Thornsberry, DVM, R-CALFs animal health committee chair, met with medial doctors and a molecular biologist before briefing the R-CALF USA board:3

"Thornsberry reported that some researchers have found that mRNA and its coded virus is likely passed from an injected human to a noninjected human, and to humans who have consumed dairy products or meat from an mRNA-injected animal.

He said that because the research on mRNA is still in its infancy, no one really knows the full impact it has on either humans or animals, particularly its long-term impact. He said this itself warrants more extensive mRNA research focused on safety, heightened public vigilance, and greater transparency."

In a commentary, R-CALF CEO Bill Bullard also urged caution regarding mRNA injections, stating:4

"Its not a vaccine as we typically understand vaccines. So, for the rest of this discussion, Ill refer to it as an injection. Its an injection of a laboratory-produced substance into humans or livestock that is coded with a particular virus, such as COVID-19, that produces an immune response against the particular virus.

And what does mRNA do? Well, it hijacks living cells, tricking them into producing some level of immunity against human viruses like COVID-19 and livestock viruses such as foot-and-mouth disease or lumpy skin disease. It does this by rewriting the instructions from the bodys DNA. And what are the potential risks to humans and livestock?

The truthful answer is we dont...

The Looming Addiction Crisis Fueled by AI "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

From Insider: The first Adderall ad appeared in my Instagram feed during the height of pandemic isolation. I thought the slick 30-second video promising me a super easy way to get ADHD medication was another gimmick. But after the algorithm pushed a few more plugs my way, I started to get curious. The drugs, to my surprise, were real. Unlike countless sketchy ads for black-market supplements, Cerebral, the then-hot telehealth startup behind the ads, offered a legal path to prescription medications.

It was indeed a super easy path too easy. My intake process to get prescribed a potentially addictive amphetamine turned out to be easier than getting Taylor Swift tickets or an appointment with my primary-care physician. Even as I doubted that I met the clinical criteria for ADHD, I could honestly answer the vague, brief self-assessment (e.g., How often do you have difficulty paying attention when you are doing boring or repetitive work?) and receive the same result as tens of thousands of AI-targeted customers: You have some symptoms consistent with ADHD. We suggest further evaluation. When I spoke to a Cerebral nurse practitioner for all of 13 minutes, the experience was much the same. Answering that, yes, my concentration was strained in the middle of a once-in-a-century pandemic got me an official diagnosis and prescription.

Ferbrache: You may have missed a startling part of Wray's testimony on backdoor gun control "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

FBI Director Chris Wray was again House Republicans' favorite punching bag. With daily revelations from House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and Charles Grassley (R-IA) in the Senate virtually cementing Hunter Biden's role as a major influence peddler to foreign countries, including China, Republicans want answers from the FBI as evidence on Hunter seems to implicate the President. Wray's interrogators went after him on a smorgasbord of allegations of the FBI violating its own policies and procedures, i.e., the Durham Report, and egregious Constitutional violations of citizens' rights. Wray's evasiveness enraged Republicans seeking answers to, among other concerns: Whether the FBI used undercover agents or directed sources to, maybe enthusiastically, participate in the Jan. 6 riot, and what is the Bureau's alleged relationship with the ubiquitous Ray Epps?

Bank of International Settlements

There cant really be an institution that includes 63 of the worlds central banks and our trusted mainstream media not really report on it, can there?

J.P. Morgan, the actual person, along with several other prominent bankers of his era, helped form the Bank of International Settlements in the early 1930s as an answer to the complex global environment of the time.

Today, the bank is headquartered in Basel (Switzerland). Just a couple of weeks ago, it released its blueprint for the future of the monetary system.

The report is lengthy, and I went through it.

Its revolutionary. Once implemented, it reveals how the future includes more central banking in your daily lives than ever before along with elements from cryptography, cybersecurity, and hard assets if done right.

Additionally, it offers hope for privacy and individual rights in countries where citizens arent pissing away their freedoms for security.

This is probably the most educational publication weve authored in our history, so if you want to know what report 63 of the worlds largest central banks have been handed in the past 14 days, here is the gist of it:
