Sorry for your troubles, Jo. On a lighter note this reminds me of a puzzling error message from a Microsoft product years ago — “Window will not fit”. But my favorite is from a 3D navigation program — “You cannot see this object because it is behind you.” AI should have some fun responses but I have yet to hear of any,
This sounds like a message I use to get on one of the very early versions of Windows (version 1 or 2?), when windows were tiled onto the screen and could not overlap.
The left’s shifting attitudes towards free speech have become blatant in the last five years. From the widespread call for censoring covid dissenters to the repression of the Hunter Biden laptop story to the assault on conservative social media to the intensifying campaign for a dragnet censorship against “misinformation,” liberals have greatly narrowed the protections they believe speech deserves.
…
Now, except when it comes to the speech of favored interest groups, the left no longer advocates a consistent defense of free speech. Indeed, the only way to mount a principled defense of speech is to defend the speech of those with whom one disagrees. To the left, censorship is no longer a speech issue. It has become a tool within their arsenal of political weaponry.
Instances of leftist-inspired speech harassment span the spectrum of contemporary life. A pro-life position can subject you to FBI harassment. A skepticism on lockdowns or mandated vaccines can brand you as a social outcast. And an adherence to certain religious views can subject you to innumerable sanctions.
…
Instead of a belief in truth, the progressive left promotes scientific and bureaucratic expertise. This advocacy of technocratic expertise flourished during the New Deal and continues to characterize the progressive left in the United States, as exemplified in the Covid lockdowns and the climate change debates. However, this reliance on expertise—rather than a belief in the broader concept of truth—renders the marketplace of ideas irrelevant, since the general population by definition does not possess a specialized scientific or technical expertise.
With its loss of faith in truth or in principles of unity that transcend the divergent interest groups in society, the left possesses no message that can unify a diverse society.
…
Even if the left still believes in truth, they may think it holds a monopoly on such truth and that its ideas are the only correct and enlightened ideas. And there is no need for a marketplace of ideas if one side already has a monopoly on truth. This attitude may explain the growing liberal intolerance for dissent—an intolerance that can even condone violence, as exemplified by the university professor who called for all men who did not vote for Kamala Harris to be lined up and shot.

It was interesting watching the Lamestream Media report on Greta Thunberg’s provocative trip to Gaza into a declared prohibited war zone.
They kept on describing the vessel she was on as a “ship” but a ship is normally accepted as having a mass of 500 tonnes or more and “a ship can carry a boat but a boat can’t carry a ship”. And there are other differences. She was on a boat. The lack of general knowledge of “journalists” is appalling.
Anyway, now Thunberg has been arrested and fed, before the Israelis send her home they intend to show her the videos of the October 7th atrocities the terrorists she supports proudly took themselves and posted online and livestreamed.
And she and her comrades had zero concern for the Israeli hostages taken and still held by the terrorists or the Oct 7th atrocities which started the war in the first place.
Whether she’s shocked by those images or not will be a good test of her character, or lack thereof.
Hi DM. I doubt the Doom Goblin will have any clue. To quote Thomas Sowell “Activism is a way for useless people to feel important, even if the consequences of their activism are counterproductive for those they claim to be helping and damaging to the fabric of society as a whole.” And they don’t come much more useless.
The boat, called the Madleen (12 person) is named “after Gaza’s first female fisherwoman“: [How do they know that?] is discussed and the full “crew” with country origin shown: Greta Thunberg Sails on Madleen Aid Ship to Gaza Where 66,000 Children Face Severe Malnutrition – Karmactive
MSM referring to the small yacht as a ship is intentional, otherwise news recipients might wake up that the small yacht can only carry aid for very few people, mostly the crew. This exercise was only ever a publicity stunt!
The spokespoppet must have a few arrest warrants on her record by now.
The reason why the meeja called her boat a ship is mainly through ignorance but also to ‘big up’ the act of idiocy.
The MSM has to stop calling her a “Climate Change Activist”, shes just a “professional” activist. You know, when you become a professional, you get paid to do what you do, like professional sports players, and then the oldest profession in the world. First it was climate change, then it’s Palestine, what’s the next new cause is she going to attach her name to?
I suspect the point of the exercise was to demonstrate to the world the IDF has a naval sea blockade as well as a land blockade and will defy any attempts to feed the starving people in Gaza.
Regardless of your view on this the boat/ship was a propagander stunt designed to make Israel once again look poorly on the international stage.
Naltrexone was designed to inhibit opioid receptors without activating them and hence used to block the stimulatory effects of morphine and heroin. It was noted that in certain patients being treated with naltrexone for an opioid addiction many reported significant secondary benefit when being weaned off naltrexone. This group of patients had chronic inflammatory and autoimmune conditions and reported improvements whilst using the lower dosages of naltrexone. There have also been recent anecdotal reports of cancer resolution following the use of low doses of naltrexone (LDN). However, the mechanism of action is unclear.
Areas covered
We review three mechanisms through which LDN can influence cancer progression; namely, (a) antagonism of receptors to which LDN binds, which include toll-like receptors 7–9 that lead to IL-6 suppression b) modulation of immune function in patients; and c) direct inhibition of signaling pathways involved in cancer cell control, including the priming of pro-apoptotic pathways.
Expert opinion
Considering the increase in the number of anecdotal reports of activity, there will likely be a bigger drive toward using LDN in the oncological setting. These reports support clinical trials of LDN in cancer, especially when given in combination with certain chemotherapy.
Just add it to the list of old, cheap, re-purposed pharmaceuticals that will never be used. Because there’s no money to be made from them and no-one will fund the necessary research. It’s sad, but true.
Apart from her activities against science, reason and basic human decency, another worrying thing about Thunberg is that she’s seen as a role model by many young and indoctrinated children.
Those children might think it’s acceptable to drop put of school and become an anti-intellectual, just like her.
The difference will be, most other children won’t have stage managers and financial backers like Thunberg.
The doom goblin is one cancellation away from obscurity.
It only takes one misstep and her whole world becomes instant trash. It could be as simple as her being on the Epstein list, (not likely of course), or declaring that she sponsored Trump in his run for president.

It is a constant battle between politicians (aided and indoctrinated by Bureaucracy) and the public.
One side wants to “be in control” and hates those who show up mistakes. The other wants less dictates about their life but only boil over if things get too hard.
So the EU bureaucrats keep being in new rules until one of their member States suddenly votes in a less compliant government.
The EU bureaucrats think the solution is to force the government to change. Lately they are getting more and more opposition which causes them to try more repression.
Thus “right wing” parties gain more votes e.g. France, Germany, Austria, Poland, The Netherlands etc.
It doesn’t help the EU when many of there policies are repressive and stupid.
We can look forward to the EU being disbanded, or at least losing any power.
The same applies to the UK where the “public service” wants desperately to rejoin the EU – indeed they almost got their way with Starmer.
Starmer will go very shortly and possibly a new election.
The same “we must have more control” runs rampent through Australia, esp. in Victoria. The incompetence and mistakes will last only as long as the money flows, and Australia is headed into a sharp depression. Externally our trade will suffer as China collapses and we have little thought anywhere about all but “we are the lucky country”. It took Argentina many decades to change their ideas.
“It took Argentina many decades to change their ideas.”
Yes, its a hard time for everyone until they finally reject the Left and regain some sense. It takes quite a few elections to even get a capitalist party and up and recognised before it can take over the mantle of of being Right. The words Liberal or Coalition are total poison this decade.
I don’t think defunct bureaucracies ever die, they keep in sucking money and being useless, so the EU parliament will have to cede control to NATO, who will have their day in the money-pit and then some new super-bureaucracy is formed for some new hobgoblin. No-one will get fired and the costs will continue.
I’m expecting a new Europe-wide climate-health organisation to be set up so failing politicians can retain some income, and that will involve thousands of bureaurats checking on each country’s energy system then telling them what to do in order to avoid another Spanish incident.
I think democracy in Europe is healthy, looking at the recent Polish election where a right winger won.
In Hungary we now see Orban supporting Ukraine against Russia, wonders will never cease. He knows that China will soon give up support for Russia and he is moving fast.
So I disagree that democracy around the world is on life support, its a volatile system but as Churchill remarked, its better than autocracy.
Words are cheap, there is a regime change taking place as we speak. Ji is under house arrest because of his autocratic style and he will soon disappear.
The new broom will give up Putin because of secondary sanctions and they reckon its an opportunity to get back Vladivostok.

“‘He really said that’: Local news anchor’s gaffe
Samuel Clench
A local TV reporter’s assessment of the situation in Los Angeles, yesterday, has gone a teensy bit viral online, and not for the right reasons.
Speaking over footage of cars burning in the city, the worker for ABC7, a local affiliate of America’s ABC News, offered this take.
“It could turn very volatile if you move law enforcement in there in the wrong way, and turn what is just a bunch of people having fun, watching cars burn, into a massive confrontation and altercation between officers and police,” he said.
Gonna editorialise for just a sec here: maybe don’t burn cars. And maybe don’t commit acts of vandalism in general. If you commit blatant crimes, law enforcement is going to have to do something. That’s how the law tends to work.”
Yet when a bunch of angry people outside the Capitol Building, who were burning no cars nor looting any businesses, are practically INVITED inside before then being confronted, most of whom just strolled around the building taking selfies, THAT is apparently an “insurrection” requiring 10 year jail terms and ruined lives. In one case, the penalty for climbing through a window was a bullet in the head.
BTW It was reported this week that trust in meejia in USA is lower then congress, used car salesmen etc.
They’ve worked so hard to achieve that lack of trust. They truly deserve the award.
RFK Jr. Orders Clean Sweep of Entire CDC Vaccine Advisory Panel to End Decades of Corruption
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has just announced the removal of all 17 members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)—the panel tasked with recommending vaccines for the American public—citing longstanding corruption, persistent conflicts of interest, lack of transparency, and a documented history of rubber-stamping vaccines without adequate scrutiny.
Unfortunately the damage is done.
Doing my usual rounds of news today I saw article after post on cerebral micro bleeds (CMB’s).
Between 1/3rd and 2/3rds of Covid affected have/will suffer from them.

“U.S. Health Secretary RFK Jr. Fires Entire CDC Vaccine Advisory Panel in Stunning “Clean Sweep” ”
“It can be recalled that the ‘unsafe and ineffective’ COVID-19 vaccine was formally added to the routine immunization schedule for both children and adolescents by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Thursday.
It is common knowledge that COVID-19 poses no threat to young children, that mRNA vaccinations against the virus are not effective or safe and that some people have even died after receiving a COVID vaccine. But the CDC and its advisory council continue to push for childhood vaccinations despite all these facts.”

You could try Dubai for warmth. It was 46C and 47C (and humid) under the carport while we were there for two days back in May. A bit of a contrast to Cyprus which was rather cool for mid May this year; I was glad to have warm sweaters! Even on the beach near Larnaca, awaiting our flight, there was a chilly wind. Very different from the 1960s and 1970s.

‘“Restoring Gold Standard Science” Executive Order –
In response to concerns about eroded public confidence in scientists and the alleged misuse of scientific information by federal agencies to justify political ends, President Trump’s “Restoring Gold Standard Science” Executive Order, issued May 23, aims to rebuild public trust in science and ensure federal agency decisions are informed by credible, reliable and impartial scientific evidence
My view
The first stop is to debunk the politician created fake science called Climate Change.
Normally you would expect scientific organizations and the universities to destroy the fake structure which is Climate Science. As fake as Scientology. But they are all party to this farce. The same in Australia, Britain, Canada.
There is zero truth in the slow 0.3% pa growth of Carbon Dioxide being man made, or threatening the world or being classes as a toxic pollutant and so under the Clean Air Act. The amount of CO2 which is from fossil fuel has remained at a tiny 2.0% for a century.
Once the Climate Cash stops it will change. But the universities are run by extreme left ideologues who see Climate Change as their greatest tool for funding after Chinese and other overseas students. Especially in Australia. Universities are no longer about the truth or academic excellence but massive profits for capitalist socialists who run them.
Science should not be created, validated, promulagated, legislated and enforced entirely by politicians. Including Australian Liberals, British Tories and US Republicans. Even the name Liberal in the world has changed meaning to extreme left socialist, not conservatives who believe in freedom of thought and liberty. But real and legislated enslavement by Marxist doctrine, posing as Liberal socialism.
There is no fossil fuel CO2 in the air. A tiny and constant 2.0% by direct measurement over 60 years. So it’s all a fraud. And more CO2 is being greeted by greener pastures and more food for the planet and if anything, the world is rapidly cooling accoring to NASA, starting in the Southern Hemisphere.
Interesting how foods are not required to be labelled disclosing the herbicides, pesticides and poisons used in their production but anything labelled “organic” has to be certified.
Maybe we should just label organic as “food” and everything else as poisoned. 😎
Stop being logical it only confuses the kiddies.
Like milk, it doesn’t have an ingredients listing, then look at the other “white” liquids and marvel how it takes up to 20 ingredients to make something called “milk”. the only resemblance being the colour.
The Australian has a paywalled piece on Green Hydrogen. You only need read the headline to get the story:
Wake-up call on green energy a hydrogen bombshell
The initial cost of producing green hydrogen from Australia’s two largest projects will be more than four times the price of rival energy sources, posing a fresh setback for Labor.
Physics sucks. And blowhards blow. But no amount of blowing beats physics.
And in the news “Albanese orders Treasurer to convene roundtable on productivity.
Anthony Albanese has used his first major speech since the election to call a summit to address his top priority of reviving productivity; ”
Does he really need a conference?
What productivity? Our windmill manufacturer Kappel Prince in Portland just closed. Hundreds of jobs. Our biggest chemical manufacturer closed. 800 jobs. And our clever Prime Minister is ‘investing’ $8.9billion in a gift for Green Hydrogen which is now going to be 4x the cost of other fuel. We are subsidizing aluminium manufacture not least by paying all the wages, because the electricity costs too much. And now we rightly have tariffs as a consequence. Especially as the aluminium is owned by an American company. He is sending Australian manufacturers into bankruptcy while ‘investing’ our money, not his, overseas and in ridiculous Green schemes. Renewable superpower. Green Hydrogen. Green ammonia. Quantum Computers. And we will soon challenge China in solar panel manufacture?
Productivity is about using energy to make things, grow things, ship things.. As China knows, the cheaper the energy, the cheaper the delivered goods. And with massive Safeguard Mechanism 35% CO2 taxes climbing rapidly, Green certificates forcing up the cost of coal and gas and diesel power and our tax money going into Quantum computers overseas and pointlessly making Green solar panels in the Hunter Valley, our PM is worried about ‘productivity’? We could all hand dig Snowy II perhaps? At $12Bn It might be cheaper.
Pull the other leg.. He and Chalmers are wrecking the joint. Intentionally And having meeting on the deck chairs of the Titanic, public servants discussing what’s wrong in manufacturing. The cost of power is soaring with Albanese in total control when we have hundreds of years of free coal. No investment needed to change productivity. Just blow up some more coal power stations. More gas bans.
Which is rich, as he and his boss President Xi are the entire problem. They have demonstrated they can shut us down overnight, sail warships around the country unchallenged, demonstrate live firepower off our coast and kill us with bioweapons made in the Chinese Army. Now including fungi to destroy our wheat crop, as with Chinese people just arrested in the US. And punish us severely if we dare to question their power. Ask comrade Daniel Andrews, now in luxury retirement.
And Albanese is having a conference on Productivity. You could export the insincerity in industrial quantities.

The same applies to the UK where the “public service” wants desperately to rejoin the EU – indeed they almost got their way with Starmer.
Starmer will go very shortly and possibly a new election.
The same “we must have more control” runs rampent through Australia, esp. in Victoria. The incompetence and mistakes will last only as long as the money flows, and Australia is headed into a sharp depression. Externally our trade will suffer as China collapses and we have little thought anywhere about all but “we are the lucky country”. It took Argentina many decades to change their ideas.

“It took Argentina many decades to change their ideas.”
Yes, its a hard time for everyone until they finally reject the Left and regain some sense. It takes quite a few elections to even get a capitalist party and up and recognised before it can take over the mantle of of being Right. The words Liberal or Coalition are total poison this decade.
I don’t think defunct bureaucracies ever die, they keep in sucking money and being useless, so the EU parliament will have to cede control to NATO, who will have their day in the money-pit and then some new super-bureaucracy is formed for some new hobgoblin. No-one will get fired and the costs will continue.
I’m expecting a new Europe-wide climate-health organisation to be set up so failing politicians can retain some income, and that will involve thousands of bureaurats checking on each country’s energy system then telling them what to do in order to avoid another Spanish incident.

I think democracy in Europe is healthy, looking at the recent Polish election where a right winger won.
In Hungary we now see Orban supporting Ukraine against Russia, wonders will never cease. He knows that China will soon give up support for Russia and he is moving fast.
So I disagree that democracy around the world is on life support, its a volatile system but as Churchill remarked, its better than autocracy.

Why do you think China will stop supporting Russia, they have signed a defence pact, maybe you didn’t know that?

Words are cheap, there is a regime change taking place as we speak. Ji is under house arrest because of his autocratic style and he will soon disappear.
The new broom will give up Putin because of secondary sanctions and they reckon its an opportunity to get back Vladivostok.

“However, the line between promise and results becomes blurred when reality sets in.
Three recent examples started with such promise of the future, only to crash and burn in front of everybody.”
“It doesn’t matter how good the marketing is; reality is stronger. Hope, fairy powder, and unicorn magic don’t create software, fabrication, logistics, or the whole business plan.
John Wooden famously said, “If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?”
Each company skipped the necessary steps and felt the wrath of reality. That wrath doesn’t just affect CEOs or shareholders; it’s the communities that bought into the promises. Towns prepared for large job opportunities and increased tax bases that never materialized.”

“When Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was recently elected as the new pope, and took the name Leo XIV, there was much speculation about his political views. His latest homily reveals much. The word “borders” appears 12 times. Here’s but one example:”
“Here’s a thought: Please take the bold initiative to knock down all the walls around the Vatican and remove all security. After all, that’s analogous to what you’re insisting every country should do. You first.”

Just saw this at News.com.. There does seem to be a strange reluctance to actually call crimes and violence as what they are. Reminiscent of the riots in Chicago where protestors were “mostly peaceful” while the backdrop showed burning buildings and rioting people.
“‘He really said that’: Local news anchor’s gaffe
Samuel Clench
A local TV reporter’s assessment of the situation in Los Angeles, yesterday, has gone a teensy bit viral online, and not for the right reasons.
Speaking over footage of cars burning in the city, the worker for ABC7, a local affiliate of America’s ABC News, offered this take.
“It could turn very volatile if you move law enforcement in there in the wrong way, and turn what is just a bunch of people having fun, watching cars burn, into a massive confrontation and altercation between officers and police,” he said.
Gonna editorialise for just a sec here: maybe don’t burn cars. And maybe don’t commit acts of vandalism in general. If you commit blatant crimes, law enforcement is going to have to do something. That’s how the law tends to work.”
150
“Mostly peaceful riots” like in 2020.
90
Yet when a bunch of angry people outside the Capitol Building, who were burning no cars nor looting any businesses, are practically INVITED inside before then being confronted, most of whom just strolled around the building taking selfies, THAT is apparently an “insurrection” requiring 10 year jail terms and ruined lives. In one case, the penalty for climbing through a window was a bullet in the head.

RFK Jr. Orders Clean Sweep of Entire CDC Vaccine Advisory Panel to End Decades of Corruption
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has just announced the removal of all 17 members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)—the panel tasked with recommending vaccines for the American public—citing longstanding corruption, persistent conflicts of interest, lack of transparency, and a documented history of rubber-stamping vaccines without adequate scrutiny.

“It can be recalled that the ‘unsafe and ineffective’ COVID-19 vaccine was formally added to the routine immunization schedule for both children and adolescents by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Thursday.
It is common knowledge that COVID-19 poses no threat to young children, that mRNA vaccinations against the virus are not effective or safe and that some people have even died after receiving a COVID vaccine. But the CDC and its advisory council continue to push for childhood vaccinations despite all these facts.”

You could try Dubai for warmth. It was 46C and 47C (and humid) under the carport while we were there for two days back in May. A bit of a contrast to Cyprus which was rather cool for mid May this year; I was glad to have warm sweaters! Even on the beach near Larnaca, awaiting our flight, there was a chilly wind. Very different from the 1960s and 1970s.

My patent lawyers in the US sent me this..
‘“Restoring Gold Standard Science” Executive Order –
In response to concerns about eroded public confidence in scientists and the alleged misuse of scientific information by federal agencies to justify political ends, President Trump’s “Restoring Gold Standard Science” Executive Order, issued May 23, aims to rebuild public trust in science and ensure federal agency decisions are informed by credible, reliable and impartial scientific evidence
My view
The first stop is to debunk the politician created fake science called Climate Change.
Normally you would expect scientific organizations and the universities to destroy the fake structure which is Climate Science. As fake as Scientology. But they are all party to this farce. The same in Australia, Britain, Canada.
There is zero truth in the slow 0.3% pa growth of Carbon Dioxide being man made, or threatening the world or being classes as a toxic pollutant and so under the Clean Air Act. The amount of CO2 which is from fossil fuel has remained at a tiny 2.0% for a century.
Once the Climate Cash stops it will change. But the universities are run by extreme left ideologues who see Climate Change as their greatest tool for funding after Chinese and other overseas students. Especially in Australia. Universities are no longer about the truth or academic excellence but massive profits for capitalist socialists who run them.
Science should not be created, validated, promulagated, legislated and enforced entirely by politicians. Including Australian Liberals, British Tories and US Republicans. Even the name Liberal in the world has changed meaning to extreme left socialist, not conservatives who believe in freedom of thought and liberty. But real and legislated enslavement by Marxist doctrine, posing as Liberal socialism.
There is no fossil fuel CO2 in the air. A tiny and constant 2.0% by direct measurement over 60 years. So it’s all a fraud. And more CO2 is being greeted by greener pastures and more food for the planet and if anything, the world is rapidly cooling accoring to NASA, starting in the Southern Hemisphere.

And in the news “Albanese orders Treasurer to convene roundtable on productivity.
Anthony Albanese has used his first major speech since the election to call a summit to address his top priority of reviving productivity; ”
Does he really need a conference?
What productivity? Our windmill manufacturer Kappel Prince in Portland just closed. Hundreds of jobs. Our biggest chemical manufacturer closed. 800 jobs. And our clever Prime Minister is ‘investing’ $8.9billion in a gift for Green Hydrogen which is now going to be 4x the cost of other fuel. We are subsidizing aluminium manufacture not least by paying all the wages, because the electricity costs too much. And now we rightly have tariffs as a consequence. Especially as the aluminium is owned by an American company. He is sending Australian manufacturers into bankruptcy while ‘investing’ our money, not his, overseas and in ridiculous Green schemes. Renewable superpower. Green Hydrogen. Green ammonia. Quantum Computers. And we will soon challenge China in solar panel manufacture?
Productivity is about using energy to make things, grow things, ship things.. As China knows, the cheaper the energy, the cheaper the delivered goods. And with massive Safeguard Mechanism 35% CO2 taxes climbing rapidly, Green certificates forcing up the cost of coal and gas and diesel power and our tax money going into Quantum computers overseas and pointlessly making Green solar panels in the Hunter Valley, our PM is worried about ‘productivity’? We could all hand dig Snowy II perhaps? At $12Bn It might be cheaper.
Pull the other leg.. He and Chalmers are wrecking the joint. Intentionally And having meeting on the deck chairs of the Titanic, public servants discussing what’s wrong in manufacturing. The cost of power is soaring with Albanese in total control when we have hundreds of years of free coal. No investment needed to change productivity. Just blow up some more coal power stations. More gas bans.
Which is rich, as he and his boss President Xi are the entire problem. They have demonstrated they can shut us down overnight, sail warships around the country unchallenged, demonstrate live firepower off our coast and kill us with bioweapons made in the Chinese Army. Now including fungi to destroy our wheat crop, as with Chinese people just arrested in the US. And punish us severely if we dare to question their power. Ask comrade Daniel Andrews, now in luxury retirement.
And Albanese is having a conference on Productivity. You could export the insincerity in industrial quantities.
