Peter Dutton ramps up nuclear power push and claims Labor down renewable rabbit hole "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

Opposition leader to tell Institute of Public Affairs that domestic reactors are natural next step from Aukus pact

Daniel Hurst, 8 July 23

The opposition leader, Peter Dutton, has ramped up calls for nuclear power in Australia, casting the move as a way to avoid dependence on wind and solar technology from China and a natural next step from the Aukus pact.

Dutton will make the comments on Friday at an event organised by the Institute of Public Affairs, a Liberal-aligned thinktank that has publicly opposed curbs on coal-fired power and has lobbied against the net zero by 2050 policy.

He will use the speech in Sydney to call for a debate about removing the legislative ban on nuclear power in Australia, a step that was not taken during the nine years of Coalition government, in which he was a senior member.

Duttons pitch comes just days before the Liberal National party in Queensland holds its state conference, where delegates are expected to propose several pro-nuclear resolutions.

He is likely to find a receptive audience for the message at the IPA, given tha...

Prepare for strong winds this weekend "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

The Bureau of Meteorology is warning that strong winds could peak at 70kmh in the Illawarra today (Saturday July 8 2023). The winds are expected to persist until late on Sunday.

The State Emergency Service advises that people should:

  • Move vehicles under cover or away from trees.
  • Secure or put away loose items around your house, yard and balcony.
  • Keep at least 8 metres away from fallen power lines or objects that may be energised, such as fences.
  • Trees that have been damaged by fire are likely to be more unstable and more likely to fall.
  • Report fallen power lines to either Ausgrid (131 388), Endeavour Energy (131 003), Essential Energy (132 080) or Evoenergy (131 093) as shown on your power bill.

Welcome to the Global Financial Crisis of 2023 (Part Six) "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

Silvergate Bank Announced its bankruptcy on 8 March 2023
Silicon Valley Bank Taken over by the FDIC on 10 March 2023
Signature Bank Taken over by the FDIC on 12 March 2023
First Republic Bank US$30 billion liquidity rescue by 11 banks on 16 March 2023
Credit Suisse Swiss Government shotgun wedding with UBS on 19 March 2023

Thats five bank failures or rescues in 11 days, including Credit Suisse, one of the largest banks in the world and the second largest in Switzerland.

Combined losses of stockholders and creditors of these institutions exceed US$200 billion. Market losses in the banking sector are much greater.

Walter Wriston, the greatest banker of the 20th century after Pierpont Morgan, personally tutored me on this topic 40 years ago.

In a bank run, you can pull your money out of banks and invest in gold, silver, land, or anything else. But you give the money to the seller, and she puts it back in the bank.

The point is the money always ends up in the bank. The system is a closed circuit.

Of course, it could go to a different bank, but all banks can borrow from each other through the fed funds market and the Eurodollar market. Again, the money always ends up in the bank.

Putting cash in a coffee can (or mattress) is one exception, but if you try to withdraw more than US$10,000, your bank will file a Currency Transaction Report (CTR) with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), and youll end up in a file next to Osama bin Laden. And the IRS gets a heads-up.

So, thats not a practical solution.

These failures and rescues were accompanied by extraordinary regulatory actions.

These actions have thrown the US banking system and bank depositors into utter confusion. Are all bank deposits now insured or just the ones Janet Yellen decides are systemically important? Whats the basis for that decision?

The most important question is: Is the crisis over? Has the Fed done enough to reassure depositors that the system is sound? Has the panic subsided?

The answer is no.

The panic is just getting started

We base that answer on the history of the two acute financial crises in recent decades 1998 and 2008.

The 1998 crisis reached the acute stage on 28 September 1998, just before the rescue of LTCM. We were hours away from the sequential shutdown of every stock and bond exchange in the world.

But that crisis began in June 1997 with the devaluation of the Thai baht and massive capital flight from Asia and then Russia. It took 15 months to go from a serious crisis to an existential threat.

Likewise, the 2008 crisis reached the acute stage on 15 September 2008 with the bankruptcy filing of Lehman Brothers.

But that crisis began in the spring of 2007 when HSBC surprised markets with an announcement that mortgage losses h...

UTAS : The road ahead "IndyWatch Feed Tas"

 

The financial overview in UTASs recently released annual report for the calendar year 2022, although much more extensive than in past years, did little to explain UTASs current financial position.

Detailing what went up and what went down is a mind-numbing exercise, which does little to explain the financial challenges or how we will approach the years ahead as we enter ever more variations of the new normal, as UTAS noted in its report.

At a guess thats PR speak for Were not sure where were going, but well give it a go.

Blessed with gifted land, funded by capital grants for buildings and endowed with bequests and other amounts for education and research purposes, UTAS has gradually built its net assets position.

Apart from capital grants and investment income, UTAS makes losses every year, losses from the core activities of teaching and research, and losses caused by a relentless pattern of what is described as restructuring costs. We arent told what th...

When Will Bitcoin Rocket To The Moon? Price Analysis "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

In the Bitcoin space, one question echoes persistently through the minds of enthusiasts and investors alike: When will Bitcoin rocket to the moon? While no one knows the answer, there are on-chain metrics and historical patterns that can be followed to track down the answer.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: When Will BTC Break Out?

Over the last two weeks, the Bitcoin price has been in a sideways trend. After the Bitcoin bulls were able to turn the tide at $24,900, the price has risen by more than 25%. Since then, however, BTC has been trading in the range between $29.800 and $31.300. Neither bulls nor bears have been able to gain the upper hand and break out of the trading range in higher time frames.

Bitcoin price

The renowned crypto trader and analyst Rekt Capital believes that all it takes is a positive catalyst to current BTC price action. According to him, Bitcoins current sideways trend within a tight range is a mere step away from its ultimate demise. He affirms that a BTC downtrend is only ever one positive catalyst away from ending. And a BTC uptrend is always one negative catalyst from ending, adding:

BTC has performed a bullish Monthly close but is primed for a healthy technical retest at ~$29250. With price currently around $30200 I wonder what negative catalyst will soon emerge to facilitate this technical retest.

On-chain analyst Axel Adler Jr echoes this view and points to BTC total transfer volume as indicator for a massive breakout move. While the exact timing remains elusive, Adler Jr suggests that the moonshot could be triggered by a significant event such as the...

Stop the Great Wall of Frankston - Minister intervenes "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

There is exciting news from Frankston. On Wednesday Victorian Planning Minister Sonya Kilkenny announced an Interim Design and Development Overlay which included mandatory height limits of 3 storeys on the section of land between Kananook Creek Boulevard and Nepean Highway. This article is reposted from .

This area has a very sensitive creek interface and is adjacent to the Frankston foreshore. Despite its importance, until now it has had no protection from overdevelopment. Developers have lodged plans for 14, 15, and 16 storey towers! Of course their plan is to build luxury apartments - no risk of any dwellings that a young person on a basic income could live in.

The Stop the Great Wall of Frankston Campaign Committee has done a mighty job in campaigning against high rise development in Frankston's waterfront precinct. It included a Blues Concert last weekend, and a rally back on 13 May at which I was one of the speakers. The rally had an audience of hundreds, and their Petition to stop the Great Wall has attracted over 4000 signatures. , and the Protectors of Public Lands, as well as many local groups and residents, have supported this campaign.

Of course this battle has a long way to go yet, but the Minister has done the right thing, and her intervention deserves our support.

It gives us hope that there is still room for community opinion and action to influence our decision makers.

Robodebt scheme report released to the public "IndyWatch Feed Qld"

Robodebt Royal Commissioner Catherine Holmes delivered a damning assessment of federal ministers and public servants in her final report released today.

She makes 57 recommendations to change public service and government processes, as well pleading for a shift in cultural attitudes towards welfare recipients.

Theres also a sealed section of the report that recommends referring some unnamed individuals for civil and criminal prosecution.

The scheme now known as robodebt used income averaging to identify overpayments to welfare recipients, then pursued people for debts.

But, many of these debt notices turned out to be wrong, and many people didnt owe any money at all.

Migrants at higher risk of HIV infections: research "IndyWatch Feed Qld"

International migrants in Australia face many challenges, and one of them is being at risk of HIV infection, according to a new research.

The Pre-exposure prophylaxis antiretroviral tablet (known as PrEP) reduces the risk of infection in a 99 per cent, and is easily accessible to Australian citizens.

But migrants dont have this access, and along with the stigma of HIV and a lack of awareness, migrants are vulnerable.

Fighting the legacy of colonisation with innovation "IndyWatch Feed Qld"

First Nations communities are being encouraged to share their knowledge with STEM researchers in a new initiative aimed at addressing underrepresented issues.

The National Indigenous Innovation Challenge, hosted by Monash University, aims to support traditional Indigenous knowledge with STEM research to identify issues in First Nations communities and find sustainable solutions.

Program lead and proud Wadjak/Ballardong Noongar man, Associate Dean Professor Christopher Lawrence, says First Nations communities have knowledge which crucial to addressing long-standing issues.

The problem were talking about is the legacy of colonisation that has impacted on our community, and what we want our indigenous people to tell us, is what they think the problems are and what they think the innovative solution can be to help solve those problems.

Part of my role at the faculty of IT at Monash is to actually change that narrative around how we perceive indigenous knowledge I think they were doing amazing things that were only now starting to discover how extraordinary their work was and is and how that actually informs a lot of the work that we do now. The machines that they created, like the flying machine, the boomerangthese are the sorts of tools that were around way before Da Vinci, way before Galileo, our people were astronomers as well.

Associate Dean Professor Lawrence encouraged all those who want to be involved to reach out to him or the Monash University National Indigenous Innovation Challenge.

Grant and Lee on Generalship "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"







The question as framed is almost silly, but it does get a properly ginned up answer.

And yes, he had a profound strategic sense and made his opponents play to his tune over and over.  He was actually a great ngeneral whose so called mistakes halped.  No one ever thought of attrition as a tactic before this, but he had the numbers and if germaine he used them.

His real genius was sending Sherman into Georgia to completly break the morale of the population to say nothing about making the cockpit about richmond all or nothing.  A retreating confederate army literally had nowhere to go, which is why they delayed as long as they did.

attrition is not inconclusive if your enemy cannot get replacements.  It just takes a nasty spell and time because you still must avoid headon clashes that chew up your men far too fast.





If Ulysses S Grant was a poor general, how did he win so many battles against Robert E. Lee during the American Civil War?

Wishful thinking about nuclear energy wont get us to net zero "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

The climate problem is too serious to engage in unrealistic modelling exercises. Wishful thinking about nuclear energy will only thwart our ability to act meaningfully to lower emissions rapidly.

 BY M.V. RAMANA AND SUSAN ODONNELL | July 3, 2023  https://www.hilltimes.com/story/2023/07/03/wishful-thinking-about-nuclear-energy-wont-get-us-to-net-zero/391721/

On June 20, the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) released its 2023 Canadas Energy Future report, developing scenarios for a path to net zero by 2050. These scenarios project roughly a tripling of nuclear energy generation capacity in Canada by 2050, seemingly reinforcing then-natural resources minister Seamus ORegans statement in 2020 that there is no path to net zero without nuclear.

However, underlying both the scenarios and ORegans contention is wishful thinking about the economics of nuclear energy, and how fast nuclear power can be scaled up.

The new nuclear capacity the report envisions consists of so-called small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs), which have so far not been built in Canada. Aside from refurbishing existing CANDU reactors, the CER does not think any more standard sized nuclear reactors will be built in Canada. Most of this buildup is to happen between 2035-2050, meaning that nuclear power will not help meet the governments stated goal of decarbonizing the electricity grid by 2035.

But can SMRs be built rapidly after 2035? Only two Crown companies in the business of generating electricity for the grid have proposed to build SMRs: NB Power in New Brunswick, and Ontario Power Generation (OPG).

Climate Change Lockdowns Are Coming? "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

QUESTION: There has been talk that Trudeau will use the fires to claim a climate crisis, and that will justify lockdowns again. Is there any truth to these rumors?

FS

ANSWER: There is definitely the idea of using climate change to justify lockdowns. However, this is really not for climate change but for crowd control. They are well aware of the rising discontent civilly, which historically produces revolution. They are pushing for world war III for two reasons.

First, it will be the excuse to default on all sovereign debt as they are also attracted to the Schwab-Soros solution of a one-world government. If that is the case, then all previous sovereign debt will be null and void. The United States did that with the debt of the Continental Congress when they created the United States. Thats why you can collect the revolutionary currency that was never honored.

Secondly, they fear revolution is in the w...

It is the year 2060, and we are driving through Kullilli Country, also known as the Channel Country, a Bio-Region defined by its waterways. This State was called Queensland after Queen Victoria in 1859, and this was in the south-west corner. But really it is where Maxs people come from. At a turnoff on a dirt track there is a wooden sign, with MUSEUM roughly painted in white, and an arrow. A few hundred metres down the track is an old tin shed, a shearing shed, surrounded by a few casuarinas. It looks abandoned. But theres our museum guide Max, standing outside, waiting for us.

Annual construction solvencies are now at decade highs, and they haven't peaked yet.

PFAS Report puts FDA in Cross-Hairs "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

Our report showing supermarket kale to be contaminated with toxic chemicals is getting picked up far and wide. Help us maintain the momentum and call for a ban on toxic PFAS forever chemicals. Action Alert!

Last week, we launched a national campaign on the back of our pilot study showing 7 of 8 supermarket kale samples to be contaminated with PFAS forever chemicals, suggesting much wider contamination of our food supply with these chemicals than the FDA wants to acknowledge. We know PFAS, or polyfluoroalkyl substances, are already being found in alarming amounts in drinking water, in the air, and in thousands of consumer products. We also know that they persist in the environment, accumulate in the human body, and are linked to a host of negative health outcomes. Thats why weve used our pilot study as a springboard to launch a campaign calling for the federal government to issue a ban on the over 12,000 chemicals that fall under the PFAS category.

Our study has already started making waves. It has been picked up by news outlets around the world, including major outlets like The Guardian, The New York Post, and HealthNews. Rob Verkerk, PhDfounder of the Alliance for Natural Health and ANH-USAs Executive and Scientific Director who has headed up the workwas also on Ron Hoffman, MDs Intelligent Medicine podcast to discuss the report. You can find a comprehensive list of media outlets which have covered and discussed our report below.

We need to create a groundswell of grassroots support for a ban on PFAS chemicals as soon as possible. Visit the reports landing page to send a message to your state and federal....

Leading US think tank admits Russia unlikely to ever run out of missiles "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

By Drago Bosnic | July 6, 2023

For approximately a year and a half, we have been listening to tall tales about Russia running out of munitions of various kinds due to its supposed inability to produce advanced weapons, particularly long-range missiles and other sorts of PGMs (precision-guided munitions). According to mainstream propaganda, Moscow is allegedly so desperate that it had to arm its soldiers with shovels and resort to the expropriation of washing machines, smartphones, laptops and other devices that contain microchips in order to maintain production. Such ludicrous claims would never be accepted by anyone remotely familiar with how advanced military technologies work.

However, they are an important segment of the rabidly Russophobic infowar that aims to present the Eurasian giant as supposedly technologically backward. And yet,  after Moscows long-range and tactical aviation, as well as naval and ground-based units, spent the entire special military operation (SMO) launching high-precision strikes by using advanced PGMs that quite literally nobody else has (the United States included), the mainstream propaganda machine simply had to admit something was seriously off with their assessment of Russias technological and industrial capacity. The latter should have been destroyed by Western sanctions close to a year and a half ago.

And yet, its still standing. The answer as to why this is the case was recently given by CSIS (Center for Strategic and International Studies), a Washington DC-based think tank that is among the most prominent ones in the US. According to their assessment, Moscow is extremely unlikely to run out of PGMs and other long-range high-precision weapons, either for itself or its numerous export customers. Somewhat surprisingly, with no ambiguity or sugarcoating, Ian Williams, a Fellow of the International Security Program and Deputy Director of the Missile Defense Project at CSIS, has made it perfectly clear that it would be unrealistic to expect Russia to ever run out of missiles.

The author further notes that Moscow will be able to continue building long-range PGMs, which will enable it to sustain constant long-range strike capability, despite sanctions and export restrictions. And while the CSIS repo...

Waterholes: a sacred link to life and culture in remote First Nations communities "IndyWatch Feed Qld"

For First Nations people, connection to Country is vital, with land and water remaining central to culture.

New research on male migration across remote communities in central Australia, shows waterholes are significant in shaping patterns of migration.

But, poisoning or damage to waterholes could impact their link to Indigenous cultural value; storytelling and knowledge-sharing.

Unspoken expectation: a burden on First Nations people in workplace cultural events "IndyWatch Feed Qld"

Each year Australia hosts a number of observed days and weeks, dedicated to First Nations people. From Reconciliation week, and Sorry Day through to the more celebratory NAIDOC week.

However, opinions around such cultural events in the workplace are mixed, with some First Nations academics saying Indigenous people are expected to bear the brunt of planning and educating non-indigenous people during these events and culture relations and often without added pay.

A recent survey further highlights 39% of First Nations participants said they carry the burden of additional cultural load in the form of extra work demands.

Creativity key in reducing plastic pollution "IndyWatch Feed Qld"

Trillions of pieces of plastic are in our oceans and its predicted that global plastic production is set to double by 2040.  The issue has since been termed by a leading scientist as a planetary crisis.

In a bid to explore how different countries are tackling plastic pollution, the CSIRO has published a book, Ending Plastic Waste, which brings together 19 initiatives from 15 countries including Australia.

So, how are communities world-wide playing their part using creativity to mitigate the issue?

When the Reptilian Brain Drives the Political Bus "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

Five percent of the people think; 10 percent of the people think they think; and the other 85 percent would rather die than think. Thomas A. Edison

 

The constant obsessing with Hunter Biden as if this man matters, given the very real threats our society faces what is that actually about? Well, more than mere tribalism or confirmation bias on the right. Its symptomatic of a deeper and broader illness. 

 

To be sure, those who condemn Hunter Bidens behavior (and allege special treatment) seem to ignore the financial corruption, debauchery, and far worse by a legion of right-wing leaders, movement heroes, pastors, etc. where no accountability is typically the rule, not the exception. Including the children of the immediate past president, to say nothing of the former guy himself. As someone tweeted in response to a posting I did on Hunter derangement:  

Hunter has never been in politics. Ivanka and Jared made 300+ million in salary as advisors not to mention 2 billion from the Saudis and why no one is investigating that is beyond me.  

So, why make so much of Hunters offenses, which are really inconsequential in the greater scheme of things, and ever so slight in comparison with the monumental outrages of so many right-wingers? 

What Lies Beneath

To find the answer to this mystery, we need to lift the lid on the human skull and have a look at the wiring inside. By wiring I refer to a specific feature of anatomy that may provide at least part of the explanation: the reptilian brain. Carl Sagan described it well:

Deep inside the skull of every one of us there is something like a brain of a crocodile which evolved tens of millions of years ago. It is a major source of our moods and emotions. On the outside, living in uneasy truce with the more primitive brains beneath, is the cerebral cortex [that part of the brain that thinks rationally]; civilization is a product of the cerebral cortex.

So, our civilized selves live in uneasy truce with our more primitive selves, an internal battle within each of us. 

 

Our civilized selves evaluate the nuances and complexity of issues, and are comfortable with the uncertainties inherent in this rational process. 

 

On the other hand, our primitive selves crav........

Is Fast Fashion Making Us Sick? "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

On a recent spring afternoon, journalist Alden Wicker was examining a neon orange purse at H&M. The price tag read $14.99, but instead of listing materials, it simply said vegan. She raised an eyebrow. At Wickers request, a store clerk looked up the materials: polyurethane and polyester. Plastics.

 

For the last decade, Wicker has been covering the dirty side of fast fashion from its contribution to the climate crisis and greenwashing to multi-level marketing schemes. She founded the popular blog EcoCult in 2013 and has become an authority on sustainable fashion.

 

Wickers new book, To Dye For: How Toxic Fashion Is Making Us Sick, examines the public health impacts of chemically-treated fabrics and synthetic fibers. She spent two years interviewing.

 

She found that fashion is rife with toxic chemicals, like formaldehyde and chromium, which are both carcinogenic and endocrine-disrupting polyfluoroalkyl substances (also known as PFAS, or forever chemicals), linked to infertility and other health issues. And despite the potential harm, she discovered that the US has done little to protect consumers from the clothes they wear.

 

Were allowing chemicals to be poured indiscriminately into the environment, but were also bringing them into our homes, Wicker said. The effects of these chemicals on te..........

RAAF Search and Rescue (CHC Helicopters) Agusta AW139 Helicopter VH-SYV "Choppa 42" Arrives into Rockhampton Airport - Plus More! "IndyWatch Feed Qld"

On Wednesday 5 July, CHC Helicopters Australia / Lloyd Helicopters Agusta AW139 helicopter VH-SYV was noted arriving into Rockhampton Airport from Townsville.


File photo

The normally Northern Territory-based rescue helicopter arrived as "Choppa 42" and has been in Townsville since mid-June operating in a support role for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Exercise High Sierra 23-1 which has wrapped up this week.

UPDATE!  On Thursday 6 July, VH-SYV "Choppa 42" continued from Rockhampton Airport to RAAF Base Amberley.

Meanwhile, also on Wednesday 5 July, the visiting Helicorp (Toll) Leonardo S.P.A. Helicopters (Agusta) AW139 helicopter VH-XIU was noted completing a flight from Rockhampton Airport to Townsend Island as "Rescue 903" (due to a clerical error!) and then back via a circuit of the Rockhampton Base Hospital as "Rescue 902" (as it should be!).

Townsville Airlines Cessna 208 Caravan VH-NXU First Visit into CQ at the Labona Station Airstrip - Plus More! "IndyWatch Feed Qld"

On Tuesday 4 July, it was interesting to note that Townsville Airlines Cessna 208 Caravan VH-NXU has (possibly?) made its first ever visit into Central Queensland, flying into the Labona Station Airstrip within Adani Australia's (Bravus Mining & Resources) Carmichael Coal Mine site from Cairns and then Townsville.  It then returned to those places.


File photo

VH-NXU was delivered and registered to Townsville Airlines in September 2022.  It was previously registered as N406CR.  VH-NXU seems to mostly operate out of Cairns Airport so if this is indeed its first visit to the region, it is a welcome sight!

Meanwhile, also on Tuesday 4 July, some of the 'usual' FIFO charter flights included Southern Air Beech 1900 VH-YSO visiting Moranbah Airport once again.  It arrived from Latrobe Valley and Bourke Dubbo and then departed back to Latrobe Valley and then eventually to Melbourne (Moorabbin).

DeGunst Transport P/L Textron (Cessna) 208 Caravan VH-NPZ operated from Bundaberg Airport and looked to fly in and out of Mackay Airport.  I presume the inclement weather in the area prevented it from landing at Nebo Aerodrome.

While Hinterland Aviation Cessna 208 Caravan VH-TFS also encountered bad weather and was unable to land at Mackay Airport while flying down from Townsville as HND2290.  It returned to Townsville without landing and obviously was unable to complete its usual run out to Labona.

The Queensland Police Service (Airwing) (State of Queensland) Raytheon B1900D VH-PSK flew down from Cairns and Townsville to Rockhampton Airport.  It then continued to Brisbane before later returning to Rockhampton Airport and then back to Cairns direct.

More than 105 million working age Americans do not have a job right now - a 25% unemployment rate "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

Our long slide toward economic oblivion continues, and survey after survey has shown that most Americans are deeply unsatisfied with the current state of the U.S. economy. Inflation is out of control, most Americans are getting poorer due to the rapidly rising cost of living, the housing bubble has started to burst, and the commercial real estate market is a giant mess. But employment is supposed to be our bright spot. The Biden administration continues to tell us that the unemployment rate is less than 4 percent and that there are lot of jobs available for those that want them. But is this really true? To answer that question, it is imperative to understand that our government places unemployed persons into one of two categories... Jobless people are classified into one of two categories by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) either unemployed or not in the labor force. To be classified as unemployed in the month they are surveyed, people must be actively looking for work. If...

It Is a Horror Show Glueboard That Traps Stupid People by Masquerading as What It Is Not What It Is Not. "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

Smoking Mirrors July 5, 2023

God Poet Transmitting.

One of the basic features of Nature is camouflage. Sometimes it is there to attract prey, and sometimes it is there for concealment from the predator. Other times it is an aspect of the mating dance. All of this translates into the human theater because the dramas that dance there in physical form are a part of Nature in camouflage too.

Its not just your body that is a prisoner of Nature. The Mind and The Emotions the senses, and your sense of self as expressed through The Personality are also a part of Nature. Nature has a number of ways to bind you. I heard there were 8 but Im not a numbers guy. I also heard there is only one way in which Lady Nature a conscious entity frees you or provides what is called Moksha.

Terms terms terms; what did Lao Tzu say? Terms may be used but none of them are absolute.

Nature is a non-stop endlessly whirling confusion of colors and sounds tactile impressions smells that go directly to the brain, which is where the smell test comes from, and which has to do with smell as a form of higher perception having nothing to do with physical odors. Yes many things that you cant see are still part of Nature.

Its safe to say that just about everything you can think of is a part of Nature, including the facility that does the thinking. You might well ask; what else is there? I would answer that but its not germane to todays posting which has to do with Communism.

Communism is the form of government that exists in Hellish Circumstances. Communism is a form of camouflage that presents itself as something it is not for purposes other than what it advertises. It is a system of lies and double-speak Catch-22s whose intentions are bondage and control. It is a system where the individual has no rights and no courts of appeal.

It is a system of No Exit except for Death. It is a horror show glueboard that attracts stupid people by masquerading as what it is not what it is not what it is not.

It is what Diversity Equity and Inclusion are all about. It is the brainchild of a certain group of people who demonstrated in a gruesome and protracted fashion all you ever need to know about Communism. They did this in the former Soviet Socialist Republic. They did and are doing it in China. They did it in Cambodia. There is no positive example of it except in small controlled and temporary examples here and there now and again.

Communes are Communist experiments, and their success depends entirely on the nature and intentions of the people involved. Sometime...

Garden of Eden- the First Recorded WitchHunt "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

The following article is almost 30 years old and is as relevant today as it would be at any time in history when discussing the patriarchy, demonising of women and mens propensity to link women to the devil.

Jung would refer to this as men projecting their shadow upon women.

The article is by Joel Achenbach and exposes the Garden of Eden story as the first time that women are directly associated with the Devil in Christianitys misogynistic propaganda and the devastating implications that the demonising of women had then and continues to have today.

Garden of Eden the earliest linking of women to the devil:

From the article:

Question: Why are women historically considered the willing agents of Satan?

Answer: This goes back to the biblical story of the Garden of Eden. The Devil wants Adam and Eve to disobey Gods order not to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge (we heard recently that scholars think it was a tomato, though wed like to see the footnotes before we sign off on that). So what does old Beelzebub do? Disguised as a snake, he tempts Eve. The woman is the conduit to the man.

Eve succumbs, then seduces Adam into eating the fruit as well. Chaos erupts: They realise theyre as naked as a couple of jaybirds, they get booted from the garden, and eventually the federal deficit reaches $400 billion a year.

The mythical prejudice had horrifying results in real life: The vast majority of people executed in the Salem witchcraft trials 300 years ago were women; the men were, in most cases, relatives or associates of women suspected of witchcraft. The same pattern held true in the even bloodier witch hunts of Europe.To blame this on misogyny seems too simplistic.

Carol Karlsen, a professor of history and womens studies at the University of Michigan and author of The Devil in the Shape of a Woman, says there may also have been an economic motive. Many of the women accused of being witches at Salem had no sons or brothers, meaning that they were in line to inherit family wealth, Karlsen says.

There is a real fear of female power thats increasing in the 16th century in Europe, says Tom Robisheaux, a professor of history at Duke University. He said that priests feared female sexual power and the way women cou...

Whistleblower calls on government to act on KPMG and the rest of the consultancy industry "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

Contributed from Victoria

A whistleblower and former partner at multinational consulting firm KPMG has called on the Australian government to establish a Royal Commission into the industry, Back in 2021, Brendan Lyon, informed a parliamentary inquiry in NSW that he had been pressured by KPMG to alter records, to change the figures in the States budget. More specifically, on the NSW governments Transport Asset Holding Entity (TAHE).

He alleged that senior figures in the firm had conflicts of interest in relation to this.

Photo by Kate Geraghty: Brendan Lyon appears before the Senate parliamentary inquiry

KPMG responded by admitting it had contributed to complicating the situation and promised better practices in the future. But there has never been an admittance of deliberate wrongdoing. There was no proper investigation in NSW, even though the Australian division of KPMG had been fined $AU165,000 by the United Sates watchdog for cheating on online tests designed to improve professional safety requirements and ensure partners and staff act with integrity. 

Brendan Lyon has now told the Senate inquiry that there is a need for a much more thorough investigation of the industry.

This comes in the wake of the PwC scandal. KPMG and PwC are two of the big four consulting US based multinationals dominating the industry. Together, they Carry out audits for the big corporations and government. This places them in an advantageous position to build extensive network that provide the grounds for conflicts of interest and corrupt practices to flourish.

Information is worth a great deal of money, and it is clear information has been passed on in breach of confidentiality requirements.

An investigation into their practices will contribute to uncovering the extend of it in Australia. The regulator has already found cases involving all the four. The big question is why hasnt this been acted on already?

Lyon called on the federal government to implement a default five-year ban on big four accounting firms found in serious breach of professional ethics by the new commonwealth regulator.

He also called for a ban on political donations.

In respect of its own procurement and management of consultants, the commonwealth should implement similar restrictions and obligations on public sector consultants to those bindi...

Scott Ritter: Biden's 3AM moment in Ukraine "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

In June, Biden was confronted with the ultimate "3 a.m. phone call" moment. He could have made a call which would have helped reduce the threat of a nuclear crisis or worse. During the 2008 Democratic primary, Hillary Clinton ran an ad which sought to diminish her rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Barack Obama, in the eyes of the voters. Building upon Obama's lack of experience in national security affairs, and what the potential cost would be should Obama falter at a critical moment, Clinton's ad sought to make the question personal, setting a scene that could be any home in suburban America at night. "It's 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep, but there's a phone in the White House and it's ringing. Somethings happening in the world." The listener was then challenged to decide who was best to answer the call, concluding that the best choice would be someone already "tested and ready to lead in a dangerous world." It's 3 a.m., the narrator asks, "Who do you...

Will The Dead Finally Speak? : The victims of Francos fascist regime are being uncovered "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

Vice News produced this report on the mass murders perpetrated by Francisco Franco during his 36 year fascist regime.  He was so blatant in his crimes, so unabashedly unashamed of them, that many of the victims were buried within the communities where they lived.  They were murdered, and their families forced to live with their relatives bodies under their own feet for fifty years.

And this video only deals with the mass graves of 100,000 bodies.  It doesnt touch on the estimated 300,000 stolen children, either victims of the dead or kidnapped by the catholic cult which was complicit in the regimes crimes.  Civil war?  There was nothing civil about it.

Like many other countries, neofascism is on the rise in Spain.  The leader of Spains fascist movement (in the video below) engages in historical revisionism, denying that the mass murdered victims even existed.  But Spain has two key differences from most countries where ignorant and racist rightwing populism took hold: a popular and competent socialist government, and the republican families of the disappeared, millions who know about and remember the crimes of the regime.

Unlike Germany or the US where fascist extremism was hidden from view for decades, Spains fascists have still been there since the 1970s.  The question is whether they can attract enough mainstream support, or whether Spains populace retains its long memory as the dead are being recovered and families may finally get answers and bury their relatives properly.

Western media prepping nuclear false flag... and thermonuclear war "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

Western media are conditioning the public for a false-flag attack on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant (ZNPP) to blame Russia. That would then provide the United States and NATO a pretext to directly intervene in their proxy war to support the Kiev regime. The Kiev regime's month-old counteroffensive is failing miserably to push back Russian defense lines. Indeed, if anything, it seems that Russian forces are turning the tables to gain more territory in eastern Ukraine. The military situation is becoming a fiasco for the NATO-backed regime in Kiev. Months of much-hyped counteroffensive are delivering nothing but defeat for the Ukrainian forces despite massive supplies of weapons from the U.S. and its NATO allies. Western governments and media can barely hide the reality that NATO's proxy war in Ukraine against Russia is turning into a historic debacle. How long can the charade continue before the American and European public demand answers and accountability? With a major NATO...

The Fake China Threat, Then and Now "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

By Joseph Solis-Mullen | The Libertarian Institute | July 5, 2023

Republicans are terrible on China. Examples abound, but perhaps the most instructive illustration of this long-term handicap comes from the following quotation:

We must be prepared to go it alone in China if our allies desert us. We must not fool ourselves into thinking we can avoid taking up arms with the Chinese Reds. If we dont fight them in China and Formosa [Taiwan] well be fighting them in San Francisco, in Seattle, in Kansas City.1

This wasnt excerpted from a recent speech by Senator Tom Cotton (R-AK). Rather, it was by then-Senate Majority Leader William Knowland (R-CA), in the January 1954 edition of Colliers Magazine. While perhaps particularly rabid in his Sinophobia, President Dwight D. Eisenhower privately opined that Knowland has no foreign policy, except to develop high blood pressure whenever he mentions Red ChinaIn his case, there seems to be no final answer to the question, How stupid can you get?2 The parallels between Knowlands time and our own are significant. Representing the respective nadirs of Sino-American relations, they are worth considering in depth.

First, a necessary bit of high-level background.

In 1949 Mao Zedong and the Chinese Communist Party defeated the nominally republican forces of Chiang Kai-shek. Despite internal warnings that this was likely to happen, Chiang and his nationalist cronies being thieves, every last one of themcorrupt as they come according to President Harry Truman, this kicked off a firestorm in Washington3. Who lost China? subsequently became a driving force of the Second Red Scare that consumed American politics, distorting perceptions and constraining the ability of even the most powerful figures, such as Eisenhower or Secretary of State Dean Acheson, to act towards China in the more rational manner they would have liked.

Dean Acheson had presciently forecast as early as 1950 that Mao could be an Asian Tito, a disruptor of communist unity akin to the Yugoslav leader, Josip Broz Tito, Stalins bte noire. As...

The Intriguing Science Behind Rains Aroma: Can You Smell When The Rain Is Coming? "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

Have you ever found yourself standing at the threshold of your home on a sizzling summer day, or on a crisp, bone-chilling winter afternoon, convinced you could smell the rain coming? As it turns out, this phenomenon isnt universally experienced, leading many to question if its rooted in scientific fact or if it merely exists as a whimsical myth.

If youve browsed through social media on a particularly cloudy day, you might have noticed a polarizing debate: there are those who assertively proclaim their unique ability to predict rainfall through olfactory cues, while others appear notably doubtful. However, regardless of which camp youre in, theres some fascinating evidence that supports the concept of pre-rain odors. Numerous factors contribute to this olfactory phenomenon, with a primary component being the enchanting scent known as petrichor.

The Mesmerizing Mystique of Petrichor

Petrichor, a term rooted in Greek with petros meaning stone and ichor standing for the ethereal fluid coursing through the veins of ancient gods, represents the intoxicating, earthy aroma that pervades the atmosphere post rainfall, especially following a prolonged dry spell. Mineralogists Isabel Joy Bear and Richard Thomas first introduced this term to the world in 1964, unwittingly kindling widespread fascination with this mysterious smell.

Though petrichor consistently ranks among favorite natural fragrances for many people, the reason behind its appealing allure wasnt understood until recently. In an enlightening 2020 study, researchers discovered the tantalizing scent of petrichor wasnt just enticing to humans but proved irresistible to a variety of other animals as well.

I Hope To God I Am Wrong: Climate Change Going Through The Roof "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

Why are we at Media Lens utterly terrified by climate collapse while other people we know are mildly concerned, blithely indifferent or cockily contrarian?

The simple answer is that we are doing this full-time and doing this includes reading the unfiltered reports and thoughts of top climate scientists on social media all day, every day.

Whenever we take a break from social media, the tendrils of the corporate body-snatchers again start to insinuate themselves. We are soothed by entertainment, by infotainment, by presstitute prestidigitation normalising the unthinkable. Despite a mountain of evidence, we are assured that the crisis is under the management of fundamentally decent, rational leaders. Yes, dear reader, our sense of crisis also abates.

There are two key responses to news of the latest climate disasters:

Its bad, but not that bad. Its manageable and we can carry on pretty much as normal.

An alternative take:

No, it is that bad. This is just the ball starting to roll it will gather more and more and more momentum, and it wont stop. We need drastic change now!

The second of these is inarguably correct. The first is the underlying message delivered by state-corporate media that have an existential vested interest in the status quo, in discouraging us from seeking serious change. And this is exactly why the level of public alarm does not yet reflect the terrifying, rollercoaster reality depicted in the soaring and crashing graphs measuring temperatures and ice coverage.

Professor Bill McGuire, Emeritus Professor of Geophysical and Climate Hazards at University College London, tweeted last month:

I hope to God I am wrong, but to me, it is looking increasingly as if we have reached some sort of tipping point, with the global temperature, sea-surface temperature, ice loss, and other parameters, all going through the roof.

Asparagus as a Hangover Cure? "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

<p><p><p>Recently, a claim has been making its rounds on the popular social media platform TikTok, suggesting that asparagus holds the secret to preventing the effects of a hangover. Several videos promoting this idea have amassed millions of views, with TikTokers lauding the green vegetable as a miracle hangover stopper. But does the science support this claim? Can asparagus genuinely shield you from the unpleasant aftermath of excessive alcohol consumption? The answer, it appears, is not quite as straightforward.</p> <p> </p> <blockquote cite= "https://www.tiktok.com/@louislevanti/video/6968555624934165766" class="tiktok-embed"> <section><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@louislevanti?refer=embed" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title= "@louislevanti">@louislevanti</a> *chases shot of tequila with asparagus* <a href= "https://www.tiktok.com/tag/learnontiktok?refer=embed" rel= "noopener" target="_blank" title="learnontiktok">#learnontiktok</a> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/hangovercure?refer=embed" rel= "noopener" target="_blank" title="hangovercure">#hangovercure</a> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/tiktokhacks?refer=embed" rel= "noopener" target="_blank" title="tiktokhacks">#tiktokhacks</a> <a href= "https://www.tiktok.com/music/Monkeys-Spinning-Monkeys-6746993352891189249?refer=embed" rel="noopener" target="_blank" title= " Monkeys Spinning Monkeys - Kevin MacLeod & Kevin The Monkey"> Monkeys Spinning Monkeys Kevin MacLeod & Kevin The Monkey

As per some TikTokers, the minerals and amino acids in asparagus help protect your liver from toxins. They argue that the enzymes in asparagus help break down alcohol and alleviate hangovers. However, the scientific evidence supporting these statements remains murky and inconclusive.</p> <h2>Scientific Analysis: Asparagus and Hangovers<br> ...</h2></p></p>

With Nix, Bitcoin Projects Can Accelerate Contributions And Deployment "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

This is an opinion editorial by niftynei, a developer educator who runs the Base58 Bitcoin protocol academy and an organizer of the upcoming, Nix-focused Bitcoin++ conference.

When you want to install a new app on your computer, where do you get it from?

Deciding which source to use is a problem that's surprisingly difficult to solve, but it's one that every computing platform struggles with.

Before the internet was widespread, new software packages were distributed on hard media, like CDs or Core, for example, you'd need to buy it physically at the store or have it mailed to you. You'd then load the disk or USB stick into your computer, and make a copy of the new software onto your local disk.

As a developer writing code, you'd have to physically hand out copies of your programs to friends and family. Or you'd work for a large corporation that had relationships with companies and computer stores, which would figure out how to get the software you wrote distributed to their clients and customers.

With the advent of always-connected computers, the landscape of software distribution forever changed. Now, instead of having to physically pick up a copy of the bits in a program, you can easily download a copy of it from the internet.

This made it much easier for new developers to write apps that anyone can download. The problem now, however, is answering the question: Where on the internet should users download the new software from?

The Hacker's App Store

The way that mobile phone ecosystems solve the problem of new application distribution is through a program on your phone called the "App Store" (or the "Google Play store" on Android).

Developers upload the latest copy of their apps to either Apple's or Google's servers. Those companies then send out a silent notification to all of the phones that have the app installed, and the app gets updated in the background on users' phones, without the users involvement.

If you're a user and you want to add a new app to your phone, in most cases you'll be able to find it in the App Store, and download it from there.

But not all software is available as a mobile phone app. Some software projects are desktop apps or tools that developers use to write new pieces of software. These applications need a distribution channel too. On desktop operating systems, we tend to call the "App Store" software by the term "package managers." They manage the packages of software that you download onto your computer.

Modern package managers consist of a central server, sometimes the app, and a client-side application which runs on the package user's computer.

If you're a developer, you've probably run into homebrew or...

Jordan: Answers about vanishing of man to UAE 'insufficent', says MP

Justice ministry says it never received extradition order for Khalaf al-Romaithi who is believed to have been taken by the UAE from Jordan in May

Jordan's response to questions about the disappeared Turkish-Emirati dual national Khalaf al-Romaithi have only raised further queries, say the MP who posed the questions, Romaithi's lawyer and rights groups.

Romaithi, 58, was detained in Amman on 7 May after an iris scan at Queen Alia Airport revealed an Emirati warrant for his arrest. He was initially released on bail, but then later arrested by plainclothed police officers, and was due to have his case heard in court on 16 May.

After an initial court hearing on 9 May, Romaithi has not been seen by his lawyers and family.

A week later, Emirati state media reported that he had been "received" in the UAE. A Turkish official told interested parties that Romaithi was taken by a private plane to the UAE on 12 May.

But neither his exact whereabouts, nor how he ended up in the UAE have been clarified publicly by the UAE, Jordan or Turkey, who have remained silent on the topic - until the release this week of answers to parliamentary questions raised by Jordanian MP Adnan Mashuqa in May.

*Germany in the World* "IndyWatch Feed Vic"

The author is David Blackbourn, and the subtitle is A Global History 1500-2000.  The focus is on Germanys global influence abroad and no I dont mean the Battle of Stalingrad, though that era is covered.  Here is one excerpt:

There was global demand for German scientists of every kind.  The Southern Hemisphere offers two striking examples.  One is Latin america, thanks partly to Humboldts legacy.  There were hundreds of Germans scientists in Argentina alone by the early twentieth century, and many others in Chile, Peru, and elsewhere.  German scientists also played an equally outsized role in Australia.  We have already seen the impact made by the botanist Richard Schomburgk and his circle of 49ers in South Australia.  Among the many German scientists who arrived after midcentury and shaped Australias scientific landscape were several who were well connected internationally.  The geophysicist Georg von Neumayer is a perfect specimen of the type.  Neumayer enjoyed support in British scientific circles and was a disciple of the American astronomer and oceanographer Matthew Maury, who had himself been inspired by Humboldt.  In Australia Neumayer established an observatory in Melbourne, before returning to Germany, where he chaired the International Polar Commission in 1879.

Neumayer is a reminder that German remained, as they had been in the era of Forster and Pallas, inveterate scientific travelers.

Recommended, this is quite a good book.

PMID:  J Complement Integr Med. 2023 Jun 1 ;20(2):425-430. Epub 2022 Dec 9. PMID: 36480470 Abstract Title:  -Elemene regulates epithelial-mesenchymal transformation and inhibits invasion and metastasis of colorectal cancer cells. Abstract:  OBJECTIVES: To study the inhibitory effect of-elemene on invasion and metastasis of colorectal cancer cells and its possible mechanism.METHODS: Human colon cancer HCT116 cells were treated with different concentrations of-elemene. The proliferation inhibition rate of the cells was detected by MTT assay, cell migration rate was detected by scratched assay, and cell invasion rate was evaluated by Transwell cell invasion assay. The expressions of Vimentin, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and-catenin were detected by Western blotting. The mRNA expressions of Vimentin, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and-catenin were detected by real-time PCR.RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the expressions of migration rate, invasion rate, scratch healing rate, N-cadherin, and Vimentin protein of HCT116 cells were decreased after-elemene treatment, while the expression of E-cadherin protein was increased, and the inhibition rate of cell proliferation was increased (p

Quandries of Perpetual Dischord by Elizabeth Moroz "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

Permanent irreversible Attatchment disorder
A lemonade stand at the Mexican Border
A traumatised disorganised old lady hoarder
The incriminating evidence on an old tape recorder

Elements of discontent shivering through a crowd
Firmaments of promises sent confirming love out loud
Innocents in recompense versus the indiscriminately Proud

Hallowed ground to walk a solemn pilgrimage
Mellowed kids found in a drugged up old orphanage
Shallow things in the ground as we discover archaeological heritage
Waiting for you to come around after the last disagreeable haemorrhage

Dont perpetuate the notions of those who deal in mis-truths
Allow the forward motion of the next generation of youths
Avoid the multi-syllabic commotions of the sub-cutaneous systematic word-sleuths
Explore the promotion of legislative proof

Pay no heed to aristocracy lest you kneel before the crown
Histories of greed and animosity as First Nation people frown
Enhance the seed of meritocracy and do not let democracy down
Per chance the need of mediocrity is allowing dreams of progression to literally drown

Distortions of perspective allowed too much time in publication
Abortions and incentives disavowed by politically un -objective legislation
Contortions of mis-directives allowed the resulting violent instigations
Act with caution around detectives when they amount their investigations

A conversation meant for only honest ears
An invitation sent to one who has accumulated the years of
Inclination that went to a pub to drink more beers
As the intimation to invent inclines financial systems into arrears

Sunlit afternoons upon a golden prairie
Unfit old cartoons before it all became too contrary
The stark hit of high noon when viewing something extraordinary
The slow wit of a tycoon holding onto his self proclamations of Legendary

A compromise of ethics for the sake of business running
An enterprise of genetics in the wake of scientific funding
A stealth disguise of frenetics formed by a hedonistic cunning
The wealth suprised by the systemics involved in the economic collapses that are coming

The concentric inheritly biased comparisons that we make
The eccentric numerical silence of a mathematicians answer to a Fake
The barbaric energetic violence of those who are only willing to take
Marie Antoinette on the day she proclaimed Let them eat cake!

A latent virus that is mutating just under the skin
A patient silence that is waiting for the other team to win
Egypt turned to the God Osiris as Cleopatra started to grin
A thief conspires to other liars as Frank Sinatra sips on gin

Confusion as the narrative gets told by a country pop star
Intrusion as the explanative gets old when self grandiosity is taken t...

A sobering analysis of what it might take to overcome vaccine skepticism "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. epitomizes the modern American success story. He has no notable achievements of his own but because of inherited family wealth and the well-known Kennedy name (he is the son of the late Robert F. Kennedy), he has the kind of influence that is so helpful in staying relevant. In fact, the success of the entire Kennedy clan can be traced back to the ambitions of his wealthy grandfather Joseph Kennedy who paved the way to elite education and political success for his descendants.

Kennedy has now entered the contest for the Democratic nomination for president. He is a notorious anti-vaccine crusader and this will simply give him a platform to further propagate his views, while the family name will give him more publicity. Indeed his anti-vaccine misinformation got him banned from Facebook and Instagram and he used the loophole of his candidacy to get back on those platforms. He is also a hypocrite. While making all manner of outlandish and offensive claims about the dangers of vaccines, when he hosted a party at his home, he urged all guests to be vaccinated or be tested for Covid-19. He has also profited greatly from his anti-vaccine stance.

In an interview with On The Medias Brandy Zadrozny, Paul Offit, a pediatrician and inventor of the vaccine against rotavirus, describes an interaction he had with Kennedy.

Almost 20 years ago, he called me on the phone. He said that there were a number of women who had come into his office and were concerned about vaccines and vaccine safety. He was trying to find a way to reassure them, could I help him? We had a conversation for about maybe an hour that I thought went really well. I thought I answered his questions and felt good about the whole thing.

But Kennedy then published a 4,700-word hit piece on Offit and vaccines that was published in. Rolling Stone magazine, that was subsequently debunked by researchers and journalists and ultimately retracted. But the damage was done. There is little doubt that it was the Kennedy name that eased the path to publication because he has no credentials in this area whatsoever.

Offit says that vaccines are victims of their own success. They have managed to eliminate or reduce the extent of so many diseases that people have forgotten what it...

Washingtons Real Policy Toward China "IndyWatch Feed Nsw"

Washingtons Real Policy Toward China

After an intense escalation between the US and China over the formers persistence in containing the rise of the latter, and particularly over US interference with the island province of Taiwan, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken traveled to Beijing supposedly to repair tattered US-Chinese relations.

As part of the process, Secretary Blinken even publicly recited the US One China Policy, acknowledging that the US does not support Taiwan independence. However, even while acknowledging Chinas sovereignty over Taiwan, Secretary Blinken reiterated US responsibilities under the unilateral Taiwan Relations Act making sure Taiwan has the ability to defend itself, or in other words, selling arms to Taiwan without Beijings approval and thus trampling Chinese sovereignty.

Following this, US President Joe Biden would refer to Chinese President Xi Jinping as a dictator during a speech featured on the official White House website. Days later, Secretary Blinken would affirm President Bidens comments, as reported by US government-funded media outlet Voice of America in their article, US Officials Agree: Chinas Xi Is a Dictator.

Why is the United States attempting to appear to be pursuing diplomacy while deliberately sabotaging any improvement in US-Chinese relations?
