Henningsen: NATO Breakdown Turkey Still Not Backing Swedens Membership "IndyWatch Feed National"

Turkeys showing its independence for sure, as Erdogans whirling dervish foreign policy throws NATO into a tail-spin.

In this episode of the Patrick Henningsen Show on TNT Radio which aired on June 13, 2023, Patrick shares his thoughts on Turkey not backing Sweden and Finlands NATO membership due their Kurdish problem, as well as the anti-Islamist movement in Sweden. Also, the illegal drugs and narcotics trafficking from Kurdish and Turkish regions echoes similar western intelligence black market trade in other war zones such as the heroin trade in Afghanistan, and arms and cocaine in Central America during the 1980s. All this and more.  Listen:

Uneasy Locations: The Russian Embassy Site in Canberra "IndyWatch Feed National"

They think we are mugs and its insulting. Its all fine for politicians to be swimming, swerving and tossing about in the goo of paranoia that is surveillance, chatting to the ghost called foreign interference; but to expect the rest of the citizenry to be morons is rather poor form. But the formula has always been such: We terrify you; you vote us in, and we increase the budget of the national security state.

Regarding the business of the Russian embassy site in Canberra, this is all the more stunning. Australias parliamentarians rarely pass bills and motions at such speed, but the measure to ensure that the Russian embassy would not have a bit of real estate 500 metres from the peoples assembly was odd, at best. On June 15, legislation was whizzed through, effectively extinguishing Russias lease.

It was also prompted by a rather bruising matter: the Russians had already been triumphant in the Federal Court. They had been granted the lease for the Yarralumla site in December 2008 by the National Capital Authority. But the 99-year lease was cancelled by the same body on the basis that ongoing unfinished works detract from the overall aesthetic, importance, and dignity of the area reserved for diplomatic missions.

Russia duly challenged the cancellation and won. In May, the court found in its favour, negating the cancellation of the lease. This seemed to have a curiously unifying effect in Parliament: agents of the Kremlin would be a mere stones throw away from the elected chamber.

Members of the Albanese government were tediously, predictably, on message, claiming that their intelligence services were all cognisant of a threat no one else could possibly take seriously. According to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, the government had received very clear security advice as to the risk presented by a Russian presence close to Parliament House. The whole parliamentary measure had taken place to ensure the lease site does not become a formal diplomatic presence.

The cabinets most eager of beavers, Home Affairs Minister Clare ONeil, affirmed the Prime Ministers concerns. The principal problem with the proposed second Russian embassy in Canberra is its location, she suggested. The government has received clear national security advice that this would be a threat to our national security and that is why the government is acting decisively to bring this longstanding matter to a close.

This entire comic episode also led Albanese to anticipate Russian stroppiness and reference to precedents in international law. This prompted the rem...

Greece shipwreck explained: The claims and counterclaims

Government denies survivors' claims that it tried to tie a rope to the trawler that led to its sinking, as hundreds are feared dead

Survivors of a shipwreck off Greece's Peloponnese peninsula sit inside a warehouse at the port in Kalamata town, on 15 June 2023 (AFP)

Three days on and more questions than answers are emerging on how a rusty trawler carrying "hundreds" of people sank off the Greek coast in the deepest part of the Mediterranean Sea. 

On Friday, the United Nations called for an urgent investigation into the incident as hundreds were feared missing - including 100 children onboard the vessel.

Greek officials said it recovered the dead bodies of 78 men, women and children in the immediate aftermath of the shipwreck on Wednesday. Since then, no bodies have been found. 

Around 104 survivors - all men and primarily Syrian, Egyptian and Pakistani - were rescued after the incident, though as many as 500 more people are missing and feared dead.

But as Greek officials wrap up its search operation, many are asking if the Hellenic coastguard and its European partners could have done more to rescue people onboard the ship.

Unequal confrontation between Vilnius and Beijing "IndyWatch Feed National"

Unequal confrontation between Vilnius and Beijing

At the end of April in Lithuania, one of the major NATO countries, the local Foreign Ministry initiated a conference on NATO and the Indo-Pacific Region, where Vilnius tried to contribute to the unfolding confrontation with China in accordance with the trends set by the United States. It is noteworthy that the Baltic state stood out noticeably against the other participants the United States, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand for its complete noninvolvement in the affairs of the region in question.

Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis insisted on the need to build closer cooperation between NATO and democratic states of the Indo-Pacific Region. He warned his colleagues about the increasing interaction between authoritarian regimes aimed at reformatting the world order. He called for abandoning the development of trade and economic relations with them, especially to get away from the EUs dangerous dependence on China.

Deputy Foreign Minister Egidijus Meilnas sounded even more bellicose, directly accusing Russia, China, and North Korea of cooperatively threatening the collective West. Reference was also made to the conflict in Ukraine, which Beijing allegedly uses to assess the ability of the democratic community to resist aggressive actions.

The lack of independence of the Lithuanian authorities, who are willing to get involved even in conflicts that are clearly detrimental and make absolutely no sense to them, is astonishing. In November-December 2021, the first incident in bilateral relations between Vilnius and Beijing already took place. The Taipei Trade Relations Bureau was opened in Lithuania, which, without official status, de facto performs the functions of a Tai...

THE COVID-GATE TERRORISTS "IndyWatch Feed National"

There is very, very strong evidence that COVID-19  was manufactured by the Chinese Government.

Ronalds space readers should be aware of emerging evidence that the COVID-19 may be a manufactured biological weapon of mass destruction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHk8SLzgXaA

If the claims are  true, then when it comes to the legal principle of the Design to expose to peril,  all you have to do to qualify as a bio-terrorist is deliberately expose a person, a group of people, a State population, or an entire national population, to this disease.

As the following COVID-19 modelling report reveals, politicians, academics, and other vested interest parties, are intensely focussed upon how to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic problems, whilst studiously ignoring the constitutional framework of Crown Laws that must be complied with.

Platypus are flourishing around the Sunshine Coast, but for how long? "IndyWatch Feed Qld"

Platypus in Petrie Creek

The Platypus is enjoying something of a population boom around Queenslands Sunshine Coast following three years of above-average rainfall. However, the Queensland Government is under pressure to follow the rest of the country by banning a type of yabby trap that is needlessly slaughtering Platypus and other aquatic wildlife, posing a local extinction threat in times ahead.


Patypus in Petrie Creek

During drought conditions the monotreme population drops sharply, with survivors sometimes being confined to isolated pools for instance in Booloumba and Little Yabba creeks - or making hazardous journeys overland in search of better habitat. Right now, however, the animals are being seen locally in watercourses where theyve been infrequent or absent in

Australia Trying to Play Down War Crimes Committed in Afghanistan Russian MFA

According to Maria Zakharova, new data about Australian war crimes make it clear that "this issue is institutional and deeply-rooted, particularly in the elite units of the countrys armed forces"

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova Sergey Bobylev/TASS

Sergey Bobylev/TASS

MOSCOW, June 16. /TASS/. The Australian authorities are seeking to "soft-pedal" the war crimes that the countrys troops committed in Afghanistan, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement on Friday.

"Its absolutely clear that the ruling establishment of the Green Continent is trying its best to soft-pedal the issue of the war crimes committed by Australian troops in Afghanistan, a topic it finds very uncomfortable. In any case, this seemed to be the underlying reason behind the activity - or, more precisely, the inactivity - of the previous liberal cabinet led by disgraced Prime Minister Scott Morrison, which included a no less notorious defense minister, Peter Dutton," the diplomat noted.

"Members of veteran organizations, media outlets and some political forces not affiliated with the current authorities have been pointing out that attempts to close the shameful Afghan files by putting all the blame on privates and sergeants from special operations forces were unacceptable. In particular, Senator Malcolm Roberts of the One Nation opposition party suggested during parliamentary hearings in May that Chief of the Australian Defense Force General Angus Campbell return the Distinguished Service Cross that he was awarded in 2012 as commander of the Australian troops in the Middle East," Zakharova went on to say.

According to her, new data about Australian war crimes make it clear that "this issue is institutional and deeply-rooted, particularly in the elite units of the countrys armed forces."

The Emergence of a New Non-Alignment "IndyWatch Feed National"

Sahej Rahal (India), Juggernaut, 2019.

A new mood of defiance in the Global South has generated bewilderment in the capitals of the Triad (the United States, Europe, and Japan), where officials are struggling to answer why governments in the Global South have not accepted the Western view of the conflict in Ukraine or universally supported the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) in its efforts to weaken Russia. Governments that had long been pliant to the Triads wishes, such as the administrations of Narendra Modi in India and Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Trkiye (despite the toxicity of their own regimes), are no longer as reliable.

Since the start of the war in Ukraine, Indias Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar has been vocal in defending his governments refusal to accede to Washingtons pressure. In April 2022, at a joint press conference in Washington, DC with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Jaishankar was asked to explain Indias continued purchase of oil from Russia. His...

A retraction long overdue "IndyWatch Feed National"

RETRACTED. Another article on that bogus Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria nonsense has been pulled from the literature.

The usual suspects are all outraged at this rebuke. The odious Colin Wright wrote an article damning the journal he claims the retraction was over a minor, inconsistently applied technicality.

The technicality? Informed consent. Very minor. Totally unimportant. I dont know why we even bother.

For those unfamiliar with this slop, the assessment of the psychological state of young trans people was obtained by soliciting self-reports from their parents, parents recruited from web sites where people obsessed with trans issues gather. All their data was gathered from an anti-trans website! Its as if someone looked up the parents of scientists by finding their posted comments on Answers in Genesis, and then came to the conclusion that all evilutionists were formed by resentment of their pastors and association with god-hating school clubs, and determined that scientists were all pathological basket-cases.

I dont know how it got published in the first place. The authors are openly biased, they pulled all their data from an openly biased website, and they even admit in the paper that there is a chance their results were biased, and somehow, it got accepted anyway. Surprise, if you poll posters to a site called ParentsOfROGDKids, youll get testimonials to the existence of ROGD.

Another surprise: they even say in the paper that The initial purpose of the survey was not for scientific publication, but information gathering for a community of parents with shared concerns. Then, what the hell, they published it anyway.

Oh, and if you want to know where one of the authors, J. Michael Bailey (hey, I also mentioned him yesterday) is coming from, this might help:

Bauxite: Jamaicas Lucrative Red Dirt "IndyWatch Feed National"

Jamaica is a global producer of bauxite, a critical material used to produce aluminum. The Caribbean island, most well-known globally for its vibrant tourism industry, has exploited this red dirt for decades. While the industry remains profitable, there has been significant push-back recently, including a recent landmark Supreme Court ruling against a new mining project.

 

The importance of Red Dirt

In 2022, Jamaicas bauxite production totaled 7,048kt, up 22% from 2021, and the Caribbean island accounts for 2% of global bauxite production. The major global producers are Australia, China, Guinea, Brazil, and India; Jamaica hovers around the 10th place according to Statista, though other outlets put Jamaica in the seventh spot.

The top mining projects on the island are the St. Ann Bauxite Mine (owned by the government of Jamaica and New Day Aluminium), Windalco Mine (owned by United Company Rusal), and Alpart Project (owned by Jiuquan Iron and Steel: JISCO). In late 2021, United Company RUSAL (UC RUSAL) began making payments towards the US$35 million Bauxite Production Levy owed for the April 2018 to September 2021 period. In early June 2023, Mining Minister Floyd Green met with JISCO Alpart to discuss the companys plans for the reopening and resumption of plant operations, which has been stalled since 2019.

Minister for Commerce, Trade Industry and Economic Development Hon Patrick Nisira, Secretary Department of Commerce Alex Kerangpuna, Deputy Secretary Trade Missions Raymond Moworu and Bougainville Refineries Limited Board of Directors witnessed the signing today.
Bougainville President Hon Ishmael Toroama says the signing will act as the cornerstone and pillar for Bougainville to venture into hype for Bougainvilles independence.
Toroama says the importance of shareholding arrangement is better because we can actually see from outset how a foreign investor can operate and how the government will utilize its share and make it work for the people.
He states that as the region progresses, he also faces challenges.
People says I have interests in this but I want to be straight, my interest is purely for the people of Bougainville.
As President and Vice-President and fourteen Govt Departments to realise the dream of economic independence.
This is one project that will give highlight and assurance to our foreign investors coming into the region, he stated.
Toroama also stated that the 40percent shareholding of the ABG government; 10percent Independence aspirations, 10percent to go to the regions sovereign wealth-fund.
The government will have to deliberate on how the other 20percent will be used.
Toroama is adamant that the establishment of the sovereign wealth-fund will support the regions effort in its fiscal viability into the future. ENDS///AK

SPA: Australias population growth rate of nearly half a million too high "IndyWatch Feed National"

Sustainable Population Australia (SPA) considers Australias population growth rate in 2022 too high and called on the federal government to put a brake on immigration.  The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) released the latest population figures today showing Australias population grew by nearly half a million (496,800 or 1.9%) in the year ending 31 December 2022. The two components of growth were net overseas migration (immigration minus emigration = NOM) at 387,000 and natural increase at 109,800.

SPA national president Ms Jenny Goldie says nearly half a million added to a population of 25.8 million from the year before was simply unsustainable. 

As all recent and reliable surveys confirm, the Australian people are strongly opposed to whats going on, says Ms Goldie. Prime Minister Albanese knows this.

At 387,000, NOM is simply too high and must be cut, though Treasury is clearly planning to maintain these extremely high levels. Its rationale is to increase economic growth yet it takes no account of environmental and social factors. 

And although immigration increases economic growth at the national level, at the per capita level, growth does not necessarily occur.

Our environment continues to decline with important habitats threatened by urban expansion, not least the last remaining Chlamydia-free koala habitat in Sydney.

And housing is simply not keeping up with the increased demand. Nor can other  infrastructure keep up with such unrelenting immigration-fed population pressures.

Western Australia experienced the highest growth of 2.3% in the country and, as a consequence, Perth is predicted to record the biggest shortfall of 25,200 dwellings by 2027.

Ms Goldie notes that, historically, new migrants have understandably gravitated to the major cities because that is where they are more likely to find people of their own nationality.

Our cities, however, are under immense strain with inadequate public transport and massive road congestion, particularly in Sydney and Melbourne, each with populations of over five million, she says.

Strategies to get people to move to the country have had limited success. The only solution is to slow population growth significantly by cutting immigration, given natural increase is declining naturally at last.

I ask MPs to do the simple sums and answer this: Given the rate of population increase and the much lower rate of building housing, hospital and other infrastructure requirements, when if ever will al...

5 Hidden Dangers Around the Home "IndyWatch Feed National"

Every family deserves their home to be a safe haven. However, there are often hidden hazards hiding in plain sight. While some household hazards are obvious and next to impossible to miss, the real danger lurks in those less obvious hazards that so many of us overlook.

Today, well discuss 5 of the most common hidden dangers around the home, and what you can do to eliminate them. Lets begin.

Old Lead Paint

If your home was built before 1970, theres a very good chance that lead paint was used on your walls. Even if your home has been repainted, it could still be lurking a few coats deep. The recommended amount of lead in domestic paint has dropped from 50% in 1965 to 0.1% in 1997 due to toxicity, and is especially harmful to children, pregnant women and unborn babies.

While well-maintained lead paint thats in good condition doesnt pose any hazards, its if it begins to flake or chalk that the trouble begins. It can also be very hazardous when its on surfaces that are exposed to high amounts of friction, such as windows, doors or railings. People renovating their homes are in the most danger when it comes to lead exposure, so if you suspect your home has any traces of lead paint do not attempt to amend the issue yourself. Instead, hire professional painters who will know how to safely remove lead paint and replace it with a lead-free alternative.

Radon

Radon is a naturally occurring gas, and can often find its way into your home through cracks in your foundations, gaps surrounding your pipes or wall joints. While its found in all homes at some level, if the levels are too high then it can release radioactive particles and cause damage to the lung tissue.

Radon is tasteless, odourless and colourless, meaning that the only way to assess its levels is through a radon test kit. If you find that the levels in your home are too high for comfort, the best way to fix this is often through improving ventilation and sealing cracks found in your foundation.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

If youre buying new furniture, painting your walls or installing new carpet, chances are that these upgrades are bringing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into your home along with them. These VOCs, such as methylene, benzene, toluene and xylene, can release gas into the air that can cause headaches, cold-like symptoms and nausea in the short-term and cancer, liver and kidney damage and central nervous system damage in the long-term.

The best way to avoid harmful exposure to VOCs is to buy either VOC-free or low-VOC products, or ventilating any rooms where upgrades have been made for at least a w...

The Vatican Bank "IndyWatch Feed National"

AI generated image

J.G. Olsen / Financial Expositor

Which came first, the Vatican or the Bank?

According to the current official version, the bank was created by Papal decree in 1942, an interesting enough choice, but even moreso since Jewish Holocaust survivors attempted to sue the bank in 1999, but were defeated by sovereign immunity.

The name was reconfigured to the Institute for Religious Works and running along the lines of any other Foundation it recently funded a statue of Moloch, potentially more than one.

This modern Vatican Bank seems to have been created not only for immediate World War II wealth-shifting circumstances but also to fulfil a need, to solidify all the centuries of swirling speculations into something concrete and of course sanitised, another bait and switch.

What of the past?

Out of the turmoil of the slowly decaying Roman Empire, with its cherished hegemony being eroded by silversmiths everywhere, its mercenaries becoming fickle and disloyal, its leadership losing its edge and sanity in equal measures, Emperor Constantine the Great (2...

The Financial Times reviews The Palestine Laboratory "IndyWatch Feed National"

The Financial Times has reviewed my book, The Palestine Laboratory, and it feels like 7/10. Written by journalist Mehul Srivastava, I disagree with many of his criticisms but thats the life of an author.

Heres the intro:

Warfare is, among many things, a spectacular advertisement for weapons, especially in the age of television. Having watched Israels Iron Dome missiles streak over Tel Aviv hunting down Hamas rockets, the Ukrainian government contacted its Israeli counterpart last October, hoping to buy the air defence system to fend off the Iranian drones swarming their skies.

If theyd read Antony Loewensteins The Palestine Laboratory, they would have known not to bother. The tiny countrys weapons exports, which hit just over $11bn in 2021, are a means to an end, he argues. Despots and dictators are welcome to them, so long as they serve a geopolitical necessity.

Migration mystique and push-pull factors in the US and further afield "IndyWatch Feed National"

Recently the right-wing governor of Texas, who just happens to be named Abbott, announced that the state will install a barrier made of buoys along a section of the Rio Grande to deter migrants from entering the US.  As is so often the case his measures, which also included a commitment to spend $5.1b on other border security measures, was met with howls of indignation by immigration advocates who argued that this deprives migrants of the right to seek asylum from persecution.    Those supporting the measure pointed out that the river crossing was dangerous with many drowning in the attempt and up to 30 bodies being recovered every month.

Conflicting ideas on migration but little debate on why we have a worldwide refugee crisis

Much the same conflict of ideas is occurring all around the world including Australia but far more so in Europe where the number of migrants from Africa and the middle east reached over 6000 in January this year double that of the same period in 2022, not to mention approximately 8.2 million Ukrainians.     There has been much debate on why migration should be restricted with counter-arguments as to why borders should be open to all, but very little examination as to why we have a worldwide refugee crisis.     It is of course a complex issue with many factors which unfortunately still allows some to be selective and put the blame on capitalism, socialism, totalitarianism,  religion, tribalism, racism or whatever they happen to dislike. 

However the problem in the US is largely self-inflicted and has its origins in policies and actions that are a little easier to dissect since most of those attempting "illegal" entry are their neighbors from the south.     In no particular order of importance the causes of the refugee crisis in South America could be  distilled down to;  

Illegal drug empire

a) The US population has an illegal drug habit that is large enough to fund a huge criminal network that smuggles drugs into the US by the ton.  They have armies that have waged wars against any one who opposed them, stolen land and destroyed or corrupted governments.  One such cartel - Clan del Golfo became not only the producer and smuggler of cocaine but ran extortion rackets illegal mining and arms smuggling ( guns obtained from the US with drug profits )  They carried out attacks on government officials as well as kidnappings, torture and assassinations of opponents, all of which made life extremely difficult for locals.    The head of the organization, Otoniel when arrested admitted t...

Naomi Klein on the indispensable Palestine Laboratory "IndyWatch Feed National"

Writer and author Naomi Klein has written a new column in the Guardian about the US presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr where she methodically debunks his populist appeal.

Im grateful for her mention, when discussing Kennedys blind embrace of Israel, of my new book:

Myth #3: He is anti-war and pro-human rights.

Kennedy is most persuasive when opposing US military intervention abroad, or when he is discussing the humanitarian cost of the war in Ukraine, and calling for a peaceful settlement. But how seriously should we take his pacifism and human rights concerns? One hint rests in the blanket supporthe offers the Israeli government, one of the top recipients of aid from the US military industrial complex he decries, and a nation consistently unwilling to entertain peace with justice, while escalating tensions with Iran. Have a look at Antony Loewensteins latest, The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports the Technology of Occupation Around the World, for an indispensable accounting.

This position alone should cause Kennedys supporters to question his supposedly antiwar, anti-surveillance stance. So should his increasingly reactionary position on border controls. Kennedy talks a good game condemning the US for overthrowing democratically elected governments abroad and destabilizing entire regions.

Getting Accommodation In Cairns Under Working Holiday Visa? "IndyWatch Feed Capricornia"

Hello people of Cairns!

I am hoping that you could provide me with some insights/guidance to a few concerns of mine.

Im a Canadian who in a few months is planning to move to Australia for a working holiday visa. I spent quite a bit of time looking around and researching places around the country and I think Cairns would be a really incredible place to try to live in. I'm excited by how absurdly different it is from where Im coming from, especially in terms of climate haha. Im sure it will be a challenge in many ways, but Im willing to give it a go!

That being said, I guess my biggest concern would be my accommodation in Cairns.

Because I will be completely new to Australia, I will have no rental history here and as well as no job or income that I can show right away. How big of an issue is this for me in Cairns in particular?

Reading some previous posts, it seems like you guys are having a rental/housing issue. This makes me really concerned that Ill be arriving there and have no options/no one will accept me given my condition.

When I got my first rental apartment here at home, even though I had limited work or rental experience, my parents were able to be my guarantors. As such, I really had no issues finding a place to live. Since then Ive had years worth of rental history, but Im assuming this would be irrelevant in Australiaif not please let me know. I also dont know if I would be able to place my parents as guarantors this time around when they arent even in the country or even have an Australian bank account. Im doubtful, but would this be possible?

So basically how dire is my situation? Would you suggest I AirBNB for the first few weeks? Beyond that, are flat mates my only realistic long term option? If it is even possible, what steps do I need to take if I am completely set on renting out my own place?

Just for more info, I would say $350/week would be around the max of what I would be okay with.

And to end things off, as a final general question, do you guys think Im making the right decision? Maybe Im being too nave to how things are over there. Is Cairns a good place for someone wishing to pursue a WHV?

Thanks and looking forward to any help! And if I do end up coming, Im sure Ill be posting many more questions and comments in this subreddit in the future

Is the World Dirtier Than We Thought? "IndyWatch Feed National"

What Is Our Relationship With "Dirt"?

Big surprise (or not)! Dirt is everywhere! We assume that we in the West are living "clean" lives but if you look at the air on a sunny day in New York where I am you will see an extremely dense cloud of dust!

Seeing that, if we then got motivated enough to analyze what is going into our lungs as we go about our day "on the town," wed probably faint. What are those dust particles made of? Bits from garbage dumps? Car tires and wall paint? Other pedestrians hair and skin? Microplastics from masks? Geoengineering sprays?

Whatever the composition, we are breathing it all in and amazingly, we just keep walking like Energizer bunnies. Personally, I consider it a major compliment to how resilient and beautiful our bodies are!

By the way, just in case, let me make it clear: the dramatic description of dust was not an advertisement for smart masks, lol although I imagine that soon enough the WEF crowd will use the fact of tremendous air pollution as a "reason" to try and dress us all up in smart cattlewear. And why wouldnt they? They quite love cattlewear on peasants, so ...

Back to dust. It turns out that dust has some pretty "interesting" stuff in it. According to a 2009 report by NPR, to this day, some dust contains DDT, despite the chemical being banned decades ago. And according to this 2021 Conversation article, some dust is natural, coming from rocks, soils and even space. At the same time, the DustSafe program in Australia, for example, revealed that house dust could contain substances like these:

How Electromagnetic Fields Damage Your Health "IndyWatch Feed National"

Editor's Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published April 29, 2018.

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) have been shown to cause biological damage and even cancer, but exactly how does this happen? In this interview, Paul Hroux, Ph.D., a researcher and professor of toxicology and health effects of electromagnetism at the faculty of medicine at McGill University in Montreal, helps answer that question.

Originally trained as a physicist, he eventually ended up studying electrical power transmission lines, the topic of his Ph.D., and in the course of working for a power utility, he started investigating the health effects associated with the fields emitted from power lines.

"I got involved in biology, followed courses in medicine and became, so to speak, a different person from what my supervisors initially would have expected me to be," he says. In time, he became a specialist on the effects of magnetic fields on the human body, and joined the Faculty of Medicine to help protect health and the environment.

Types of EMFs

Broadly speaking, EMFs include electric, magnetic and radio frequency fields. While the literature tends to discriminate between low-frequency fields, high-frequency fields, microwaves, electric fields and magnetic fields, all of these have certain commonalities that allow you to lump them together, at least in terms of their biological action.

"It's true that frequency influences the effects," Hroux says, "but basically I could, using an electric field or a magnetic field, produce the same effect in a cell. Most higher frequency signals have enough low-frequency components to have a lot in common with low-frequency components.

The practical aspect of this is that usually the fields have an effect maybe in one application, but they are mirrored in other applications as well. There's a type of great unifying view that you can have about these fields."

Nonthermal Effects Matter

It's important to realize that the damage EMFs cause has nothing to do with thermal effects. At typical exposures, EMFs do not create heat, which has been the telecommunication industry's main defense and argument for the safety of cellphone radiation. However, hundreds of researchers have in fact noted biological effects both at low and high frequencies.

"Covering the whole spectrum, there is no doubt that there are biological effects," Hroux says, adding "There's no doubt there are substantial health effects that we have been experiencing for a long time, and that have been increasing our health bills.

Giant saltworks proposal threatens WA marine park "IndyWatch Feed National"

Contributed from Victoria

German industrial company K+S has submitted a proposal to build a saltworks in the Exmouth Gulf in Western Australia. Reaction from conservationists opposed to the 2,600 square kilometre project by the worlds largest salt company has been swift. The plan is to produce 4.7 million tonnes of salt per year in the nationally listed wetland, one of the last undisturbed arid-zone wetland ecosystems along the coast.

Salt ponds walls will be built over the nationally listed wetlands, which could disrupt the ecosystems nutrient flows via tidal or flood waters into the gulf and disrupt the marine food chain.

Photo by Andre Rerekura: Urala Creek at the top of the Exmouth Gulf will be part of the development footprint

The proposal has bee submitted to the environment Protection Authority (EPA). Almost 15 years ago, the EPA rejected a similar project, because the evidence suggested the environmental harm could be serious. This time the company has enlisted the support of dome local business interests and managed to get an agreement from some local First Nations people, and the outcome is not certain.

Opponents say the K+S plan will risk the discharge of toxic hypersaline water from the salt ponds, which will kill highly sensitive mangroves and harm marine animals, such as critically endangered sawfish and shovelnose rays living in the nearby creeks and marine waters.

Rejection of the earlier project resulted in a set of recommendations. They led the McGowen government to introduce protective measures for the region, which included the establishment of a new marine park for the eastern and southern parts of the Gulf, and A status for areas of significance. This was a recognition of the need to protect the Exmouth Gulf. The K+S proposal flies in the face of this.

Local conservation group Protect Ningaloo wants to see the project stopped. Its director, Paul Gamblin, said it poses too many risks to the local environment.

Two crocs mostly comforting but three's bit of a crowd "IndyWatch Feed Capricornia"



Third crocodile seen lately in the Town Common Conservation Park cause for bit of a rethink. Above all it shatters presumption that there was just the one biggish Saltie moving through several lagoon viewing areas. Now ... who knows how many - and exactly where? Last year's consistently high water levels, continuing through 2023 so far may have encouraged crocs, big fish and turtles to stick around. The conditions have also been perfect for expansive growth of bulrushes and reeds, thus creating extra cover in the lagoons. This all may change if the forecast but uncertain El Nino arrives this year rather than next. As always, we must wait and see. Stepping carefully meantime.

Cars Suck: Desert edition (or should I say, desertification) "IndyWatch Feed National"

And people suck, too.  Something I was reminded of today, disaster from 1973:

Last Tree of Tnr

The Tnr wastelands of northeastern Niger were once populated by a forest of trees. By the 20th century, desertification had wiped out all but one solitary acacia.

The Tree of Tnr, as it came to be called, had no companions for 400 kilometers in every direction. Its roots reached nearly 40 meters deep into the sand.

The tree had become a sacred object among the nomadic Tuareg people that would pass by it on their journeys, never using it for firewood, or allowing their camels to graze on it. As more desert explorers came across the shockingly hardy plant, it became quite well known and was even included as a landmark on European military maps of the otherwise desolate expanse during the 1930s. When Michel Lesourd of the Central Service of Saharan Affairs first came upon the tree in 1939, he wrote:

One must see the Tree to believe its existence. What is its secret? How can it still be living in spite of the multitudes of camels which trample at its sides? How at each azalai does not a lost camel eat its leaves and thorns? Why dont the numerous Touareg leading the salt caravans cut its branches to make fires to brew their tea? The only answer is that the tree is taboo and considered as such by the caravaniers. There is a kind of superstition, a tribal order which is always respected. Each year the azalai gather round the Tree before facing the crossing of the Tnr. The Acacia has become a living lighthouse; it is the first or the last landmark for the azalai leaving Agadez for Bilma, or returning.

The Most Isolated Tree in the World Was Killed by a (Probably Drunk) Driver

For around 300 years, the Tree of Tnr was fabled to be the most isolated tree on the planet. The acacia was the only tree for 250 miles in Nigers Sahara desert, and was used as a landmark by travelers and caravans passing through the hostile terrain. The tree sprouted when the desert was a slightly more hospitable place, and for years was the sole testament to a once-greener Sahara.

In the 1930s, the tree was featured on official maps for European military campaigners, and a French ethnologist Henri Lhote called it, an Acacia with a degenerative trunk, sick or ill in aspect. But he noted, as well, that nevertheless, the tree has nice green leaves, and some yellow...

Several reef sharks at greater threat of extinction than thought, study shows "IndyWatch Feed Capricornia"

New research has found that five key shark species found in reef habitats are at higher risk of extinction than previously thought, mainly due to overfishing. Published in Science, the study indicates that gray reef sharks (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos), blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus), whitetip reef sharks (Triaenodon obesus), nurse sharks (Ginglymostoma cirratum) and Caribbean reef sharks (Carcharhinus perezi) declined by 60-73% across the world. As these sharks have disappeared from reefs, rays have begun to take over, except in places where both sharks and rays are being depleted, according to the study. This research builds upon a 2020 study in Nature that found that sharks were functionally extinct from about 20% of the worlds coral reefs. That [Nature] study basically grouped all of the sharks that occur on coral reefs together in one group and looked at what was going on, Colin Simpfendorfer, lead author of the new study and adjunct professor of marine and aquaculture science at James Cook University in Australia, told Mongabay. What weve done with this study is weve actually broken it down into individual species so we could look at what is happening to communities of sharks and rays.

Suspended for Providing Balanced News on Ukraine "IndyWatch Feed National"

By Tony Kevin | Consortium News | June 13, 2023

Canberra On Friday The Guardian Australia website carried a news report, with a follow-up piece on Monday, whose implications for free speech are profoundly disturbing.

They concern a Radio New Zealand, or RNZ, broadcasting employee unnamed, but everyone in the small New Zealand broadcasting world will soon know who it is who has been placed on leave while their professional conduct is investigated.  Obviously, a career hangs in the balance.

The malign ghosts of Orwells 1984 stalk this story.

Russian Garbage

This unnamed person in RNZ committed the cardinal sin of inappropriate editing of incoming Reuters news feeds on the war in Ukraine to insert Russian garbage in the contemptuous words of Paul Thompson, chief executive of RNZ. That is to say, they drew on Russian news sources to insert balancing pro-Russian material to the incoming Western news agency feeds.

The Guardian tells us that in fact accurate information about Ukraine was added to the Reuters copy:

The articles in question made a range of amendments: adding the word coup to describe the Maidan revolution; changing a description of Ukraines former pro-Russian president to read pro-Russian elected government; adding references to a pro-western government that had suppressed ethnic Russians; and on several occasions adding references to Russian concerns about neo-Nazi elements in Ukraine.

And more truth was added to the story, The Guardian says:

In one article, a paragraph was added reading: The Kremlin also said its invasion was sparked by a failure to implement the Minsk agreement peace accords, designed to give Russia speakers autonomy and protection, and the rise of a neo-Nazi element in Ukraine since a coup ousted a Russian-friendly Ukrainian government in 2014.

Another added that Russia launched its invasion claiming that a US-backed coup in 2014 with the help of neo-Nazis had created a threat to its borders and had ignited a civil war that saw Russian-speaking minorities persecuted.

This, it seems, is an offence not...

Boris Johnson Refuses to Go Down With His Ship "IndyWatch Feed National"

The Charge of the Light Brigade was a catastrophic military action of the Crimean War in which a British error of judgment ordered cavalry to gallop directly into Russian artillery. 

 

This fatal mishap of 1854, costing casualties of two-thirds of the brigade, caught the imagination of the Victorians, who couldnt stop obsessing about it. The calamity inspired a popular poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, and eventually three films (made in 1912, 1936, and 1968).  

Americans tend to celebrate success, such as the raising of the flag over Iwo Jima in World War II, or the storming of the Normandy beaches on D-Day (along with British and Australian support). 

 

More recently, American success has been equated with money, represented by such films as Air, which touted the triumph of Nike in marketing the Air Jordan shoe, netting the company (and namesake Michael Jordan) billions of dollars. This monetary windfall is heralded in an end-credit crawl with solemn pomp, as if the company had vanquished cancer or solved the climate crisis.

 

But the British continue to have a curious relationship with national failure or personal mishap. They have their heroic moments, such as when Winston Churchill intoned his inspiring speeches during the Blitz, the subject of countless books and films. But youll just as likely find a movie about a king stuttering, going mad, or getting his head cut off.

 

Other films have celebrated General Gordon, who was beheaded........

Thanks to IRA Tax Credits, Its Now Cheaper to Make Solar and Wind Components in the U.S. "IndyWatch Feed National"

For the first time ever, solar and wind components made in the U.S. are less expensive than imports, a new study by researchers from Dartmouth and Princeton has found.

The study estimated the impacts the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) will have on the U.S. solar and wind industries. It looked at how it will change solar and wind manufacturing, job creation and labor standards for renewable energy workers and demand for materials.

The study reveals how the Inflation Reduction Act transforms the economics of wind and solar power to help delink our climate goals from overseas supply chains that are marred by labor abuses, higher levels of pollution, and shipping bottlenecks, said nonprofit BlueGreen Alliance Vice President of Manufacturing and Industrial Policy Ben Beachy in a press release from the organization. Instead, these new investments offer an opportunity to build our clean energy future on a foundation of good jobs, clean manufacturing, and a more reliable and equitable industrial base.

The report, Effects of Renewable Energy Provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act on Technology Costs, Materials Demand, and Labor, was funded by a grant from BlueGreen Alliance, which helps unite labor unions with environmental organizations.

The report zeroed in on the potential effects of the IRAs 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Tax Credit, as well as the laws investment and green electricity production tax credits, the press release said.

The study found that developers of solar and wind will save big by using components manufactured in the U.S. while paying fair wages to workers.

Permanent Apartheid in Palestine: Why Israel Wants to Reactivate The E1 Plan "IndyWatch Feed National"

The Israeli government is at it again, actively discussing the construction of thousands of illegal settlement units as part of a massive settlement expansion scheme known as E1.

Though Israeli construction in the East Jerusalem area has supposedly been halted under international pressure, the Israeli government has found ways to keep the plan alive.

It did so through constant expansion of the various settlements in the name of natural expansion, confiscation of Palestinian land and the ruthless yet routine demolition of Palestinian homes.

But why does Washington, Israels main defender and benefactor, oppose, at least verbally, the construction in E1 while turning a blind eye to illegal construction throughout the West Bank?

The answer lies in the fact that E1 will further expand the Jerusalem municipal boundaries, minimize any Palestinian demographic presence in the city (from the current 42 percent to about 20 percent), and prejudice any political solution that includes East Jerusalem.

East Jerusalem is a Palestinian city occupied by Israel during the June 1967 war. It is recognized by the United Nations and international law as part of the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Israel should have neither legal rights nor jurisdiction there.

Washington, which rarely cares about the rights of Palestinians, is concerned that, without East Jerusalem as part of the political equation, any discussion of a two-state solution will become forever obsolete.

In other words, the US is more worried about the political, not territorial, consequences of the Israeli decision. Indeed, the US entire political program in Palestine and Israel is situated within the two-state solution template. Without it, Washingtons role would cease to serve any purpose.

This is precisely why US Secretary of State Antony Blinken criticized Israeli settlements during his speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) on June 5.

Never More Relevant: Ted Kaczynski, Technology and Trauma "IndyWatch Feed National"

Henry A. Murray has much to answer for. Between 1959 and 1961, the Harvard psychology academic, as the leader of a team of equally unprincipled academics, was responsible for conducting an CIA-funded experiment most unethical on twenty-two undergraduates. The individuals in question were pseudonymised. One particularly youthful figure, named Lawful, was the mathematically gifted Theodore John Kaczynski.

A central theme of the experiments was examining the effects of stress, characterised by what Murray called vehement, sweeping, and personally abusive attacks. Ideals and beliefs were assailed; egos pulverised. For Murray, this came naturally. He had cut his teeth designing psychological screening tests for the forerunner to the CIA, the Office of Strategic Services. It was perfect preparation for what came to be known as Multiform Assessments of Personality Development Among Gifted College Men.

Kaczynski was the less than grateful recipient of the higher end of the experiment. I had been talked or pressured, he told his attorney Michael Mello in August 1998, into participating in the Murray study against my better judgment. It is indisputable that he, along with other subjects, had been sufficiently deceived to be victims of a breach of experimental ethics known more commonly as the Nuremberg Code.

Drafted in the aftermath of the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial of German concentration camp doctors, the code stressed the importance of informed consent. The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential, declared the judges responsible for formulating the code. The subject should also be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress

Kaczynski can hardly be said to go on to better things, but they were certainly bigger. In terms of notoriety, his position in the technology obsessed undergrowth of the United States was assured by his murderous and maiming efforts. His favourite method: the package bomb, 16 of which were mailed to his intended victims. Three people died; 23 were injured.

A central tenet of Kaczynskis thought was levelled at those complicit representatives of what he called the Industrial Society and its state manifestation. Far from being critical of power, its methods, and its wielding by bureaucrats and planners, its members were adjutants and prosecutors of a sinister agenda of behavioural control.

you included the ECM chart depicting the decline and fall of the United States.
You have an encyclopedic understanding of the cyclical rise and fall of empires.
Seeing as how the USA presently constitutes a veritable empire in most respects, are you able to comment on the synergy between an empire and its satellite constituents ie, do the ECMs for the Five Eyes nations synchronize with the United States, or do they diverge?

Companies Back Away from CEI and ESG Social Scores "IndyWatch Feed National"

The people have spoken with their dollars, and companies are now less likely to go woke. The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) pushes the CEI (Corporate Equality Index), a companys social woke credit score. The Open Society Foundation, operated by the Soros family, funds the HRC. The ESG promotes a companys green social credit score, promoted by BlackRock and the World Economic Forum. Companies were 31% less likely to mention these absurd social scores during earnings calls this quarter, marking the steepest annual drop and the fifth consecutive quarter of declines.

Financial research platform AlphaSense polled companies from April 1 to June 5 to see where they stood. The easiest thing to do is just to stay out of the conversation and emphasize other facets of business that are going to be perceived as less controversial and more core to the traditional metrics of the business, said Jason Jay, senior lecturer of sustainability at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This is the approach Berkshire Hathaway has taken under the lead of Warren Buffett, who refuses to answer these asinine surveys.

The National Center for Public Policy Research, a conservative thinktank, states that companies are discarding their fiduciary responsibilities to shareholders by taking up social issues. They also claim that these companies are discriminating against those who do not share these far-left beliefs.

Antidepressants can cause chemical castration "IndyWatch Feed National"

Patients are not being warned of persistent, irreversible sexual dysfunction caused by SSRIs

BY MARYANNE DEMASI, PHD | JUNE 12, 2023

Antidepressants can cause severe, sometimes irreversible, sexual dysfunction that persists even after discontinuing the medication.

Sufferers have described it as chemical castration a type of genital mutilation caused by antidepressants, mainly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).

The condition is known as post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD), a condition largely unrecognised, and the true incidence of which is unknown.

David Healy, psychiatrist and founder of RxISK.org said, I saw my first patient with PSSD in 2000, a 35-year-old lady who told me that three months after stopping treatment, she could rub a hard-bristled brush across her genitals and feel nothing.

Josef Witt-Doerring, psychiatrist and former FDA medical officer said, This condition is so devastating that it will cause serious changes to your life and to those around you.

It happened to Rosie

In 2020, during protracted covid lockdowns in Melbourne, 23-year-old Rosie Tilli felt an increasing sense of anxiety and depression.

Her psychiatrist prescribed a low dose of Lexapro (escitalopram), an SSRI to help Rosie calm down, assuring her that if she experienced side effects, theyd go away once she stopped the medication.

FLASHBACK: 'Presentism' imperils our future by distorting our past "IndyWatch Feed Niugini"

New York City is famous for its fashion runways. Amid the oohs and ahhs and camera flashes, men and women sashay past the clothing cognoscenti hoping for approving reviews. With a little help from Star Trek technology, the Big Apple was the site of a most extraordinary apparel show just last week. Several people from the past were teleported to a runway in Soho so they could strut their stuff: Cicero from ancient Rome was there. So was Joan of Arc from the 15th Century; medieval Russia's Ivan the Terrible; and Tastiguy, a cannibal from Papua New Guinea. Even Thag the Bohemian caveman showed up. Judges in the audience represented some of the world's most famous fashion houses: Giorgio Armani, Fendi, Prada, Versace, Salvatore Ferragamo, Gucci, and Max Mara, among others. The show, unfortunately, was an unmitigated disaster from start to finish. The critics were merciless, their worst epithets so distasteful I cannot repeat them here.

Police investigates allegations of fraud and administrative offences involving board, management and contractors of PNG Ports "IndyWatch Feed Niugini"

 Commissioner of Police Mr David Manning said the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary is currently investigating and prosecuting a number of transnational economic crimes allegations involving Papua New Guineans and foreigners.

Mr Manning said, Among the other on-going fraud cases, Police has formally commenced criminal investigation last month into the allegations of fraud and official corruption jointly reported on various local and international media platforms by ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project.

Commissioner of Police Mr David Manning [Photo supplied]

ABC News and OCCRP allege that former Chief Executive Officers of PNG Ports Corporation, Late Fego Kiniafa and Stanley Alphonse, were bribed by International Container Terminal Services Inc through an Australian, Don Matheson, to win the contract to operate Lae and Motukea Wharfs.

PNG Ports Corporation awarded the contract to operate the two major wharfs for a term of 25 years to ICTSI at the conclusion of the tedious Public International Tendering Process.

Prime Minister Hon James Marape, MP, publicly distanced himself and his government from any involvement in the reported allegations and ordered an independent investigation to verify their truthfulness.

Among other objectives, Police is conducting the investigation to establish if Late Fego Kiniafa, Stanley Alphonse, Don Matheson, ICTSI and any other interested parties committed any offences contravening PNG criminal laws.

This is a complex transnational economic crime investigation. PNG Ports Corporation awarded the contract to operate the two major container wharfs after undergoing a lengthy public international procurement process to the operator which is alleged of official corruption including foreign bribery.

This circumstance requires Police to also independently review the entire public tendering process undertaken by PNG Ports Corporation to determine whether the contract awarded to ICTSI was done...
