Der Ukraine-Liveticker heute hat ein paar bemerkenswerte ... "IndyWatch Feed National"

Der Ukraine-Liveticker heute hat ein paar bemerkenswerte Meldungen im Kleingedruckten. Liest das eigentlich berhaupt jemand, diese Liveticker? Ich berspringe die immer, aber diesmal wies ein Leser auf diese Meldung hier hin:

In Bulgarien haben Getreideproduzenten einen Importstopp fr ukrainischen Weizen gefordert. Die um gut 30 Prozent billigere, zollfreie Einfuhr aus der Ukraine mache die heimische Weizenproduktion nicht mehr konkurrenzfhig [] hnliche Probleme gebe es auch infolge des Imports von preisgnstigeren Sonnenblumenkernen aus der Ukraine.
Jetzt macht der Putin auch noch unsere Bauern kaputt!!1!

Aber die Meldungen drumherum haben auch ein paar Klopper. Den hier z.B. finde ich super:

Die Grnen fordern raschere Waffenlieferungen an die Ukraine.
Man vergleiche das mal mit den Wahlkampfplakaten vor dem Krieg. Aber es stellt sich auch noch eine andere Frage. Von wem fordern sie das konkret? Ich dachte die sind in der Regierung?

Oder wie wre es mit dem hier:

Russland hat im vergangenen Jahr dank hoher lpreise einen Handelsberschuss von 332,4 Milliarden US-Dollar (gut 311 Milliarden Euro) erzielt. Das Exportvolumen sei um 19,9 Prozent auf 591,5 Milliarden Dollar gestiegen, der Import im gleichen Zeitraum um 11,7 Prozent auf 259,1 Milliarden Dollar geschrumpft, teilte die Zollbehrde mit. Gegenber 2021 ist der Handelsberschuss Russlands damit um 68 Prozent gewachsen.
Die Sanktionen wirken!! Nur nicht in die Richtung, in die sie gedacht waren. Der lpreis wre ohne die Sanktionen nie so hoch gegangen.

Auf der anderen Seite muss man natrlich immer vorsichtig mit solchen Angaben sein, denn sie kommen von der Landesregierung. Die hat ein Interesse daran, dass die Zahlen so aussehen, wie sie aussehen. Da knnte es ein paar Flle von kreativer Buchfhrung auf dem Weg gegeben haben, wie bei uns mit der Arbeitslosenstatistik z.B.

Auerdem gab es noch die Meldung, dass die Russen die CIA-Story nicht glauben, dass der Nord-Stream-Angriff von einem verwirrten Einzeltter aus der Ukraine gekommen sei, denn die Ukraine habe ja dadurch nichts zu gewinnen gehabt.

Aber die Topp-Meldung in der Liste ist ganz am Ende:

vergangenes Jahr stieg die Ukraine durch die Militrhilfen aus den USA und Europa jedoch zum drittgrten Rstungsimporteur auf.
Wer importiert denn gerade bitte noch mehr Waffen als die Ukraine?!? Dafr muss man zur Prim...

Former prime minister Paul Keating told his wife in front of friends at a dinner party that their marriage was over, Annita Keating has revealed.

Breaking her silence on the couples 1998 split, Mrs Keating said she felt as though she had been stabbed when her husband of 23 years broke the news to her.

In an interview with The Bulletin magazine, she still does not explain the reason behind her break-up with the former Labor leader, prime minister from 1991-96.

How to Prepare Your Staff for an Office Fit Out "IndyWatch Feed National"

Are you planning an office refit? If so, youre probably excited about the changes it will bring for your staff and for the company as a whole. But before the work begins, its vital that you take the time to prepare your staff for the transition.

Its important to understand that an office fit-out is a process thats going to affect a significant number of people in different ways. In order to ensure a successful transition, its important to get as many people on the same page as possible.

Having a clear plan in place can help ensure that everyone is on board and ready for what lies ahead.

Here are some tips to help you prepare your staff and make sure everything goes smoothly during an office fit-out.

  1. Explain the Purpose of an Office Fit Out
    Informing staff about any changes, renovations, or installation of furniture before they happen helps reduce disruption, leads to better morale from the staff, and allows all necessary resources to be efficiently allocated ahead of time.

    Additionally, it might also help to explain to your staff why youre having an office fit out in the first place. Is the company downsizing? Is the old layout outdated or impractical? Explaining the purpose of the fit-out might help your staff understand the decision and alleviate any concerns associated with the project.

  2. Outline Any Safety Protocols and Procedures that Must be Followed
    As the employer, you will need to outline safety protocols and procedures for all staff members that may be affected during or after the fit out. These should include sufficient training requirements along with policies concerning wearing protective clothing and equipment such as hard hats and boots. Staff also need to know where obstacles may be present as well as any site-specific risks that must be assessed and monitored throughout the process.

    Additionally, ensure staff are familiar with all fire prevention measures so they can safely evacuate should an emergency arise. Following these steps will ensure both staff safety and adherence to directives which may help minimise liabilities during the entire office fit out process.

  3. Detail Any New Policies or Processes That May Need to be Implemented
    The team should also receive notices about any challenges that might arise during construction. This might include notices about construction noise or restricted access to certain areas of the building. Communication needs to remain open throughout this time so that staff can voice their concerns and be informed of progress updates.

    Additionally, a detailed schedule should be put in place to...

Establishment of the US Department of Defence All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office "IndyWatch Feed National"

Media release

On 20 July 2022, the U.S. Department of Defense published a media release titled "DoD Announces the Establishment of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office." The text of the release reads:

https://media.defense.gov/2021/Mar/03/2002592680/-1/-1/0/210212-A-BI463-0003.JPG

"On July 15, 2022, Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks, in coordination with the Director of National Intelligence [DNI], amended her original direction to the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security by renaming and expanding the scope of the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group [AOIMSG] to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office [AARO], due to the enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal 2022, which included a provision to establish an office, in coordination with DNI, with responsibilities that were broader than those originally assigned to the AOIMSG.

Today, USD (I&S) Hon Ronald S.  Moultrie informed the department of the establishment of AARO within the office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, and named Dr. Sean M. Kirkpatrick, most recently the Chief Scientist at the Defense Intelligence Agency's Missile and Space Intelligence Center, as the Director of AARO.

The mission of the AARO will be to synchronize efforts across the Department of Defense, and with other US federal departments and agencies, to detect, identify and attribute objects of interest in, on or near military installations, operating areas, training areas, special use airspace and other areas of interest, and, as necessary, to mitigate any associated threats to safety of operations and national security. This includes anomalous, unidentified space,...

EXPOSED! Police officer LIES to driver on national television "IndyWatch Feed National"

Don't trust this cop on his tormenting rant on driver licence possession. 

In the colony Australia the police lie to the people every single day.

They lie in the courts and on the streets. 

Its up to you to not just catch them out but most importantly, hold them accountable.

This is an excerpt from a longer video (available on liabilitymate), where the focus is on the police officers words and not the drivers arguments.



The Victorian police officer clearly states:

Theres been a traffic offence committed, right? And you are required in Victoria when you commit a traffic offence to give me you name and address and produce your licence.

First and foremost is that a police officer alleges that he saw a traffic offence being committed, where it's up to the courts to enforce the law, should you chose not to accept the alleged

He must also caution the driver of a legal action referred to in the U.S as the Miranda warning, which is also applicable here in Australia.

When you hold a driver licence, you are required to state your name, address DoB (Date of Birth) and thats it.

ANY other question asked by the officer, you have the right not to self incriminate and it is to your benefit that you do not answer any other questions, not matter how 'enticing' the may be, as they are actually entrapment.

It is perhaps no surprise that James Camerons Avatar filmsrespectively the first and third highest grossing film of all timefail to offer an imagination which exceeds the banal territories of capitalism. But, through their lip-service and surface-level critique of it, the films show us precisely the way contemporary capitalism operates.

Anthony Albanese goes to the United States and plays the sycophant "IndyWatch Feed National"

Contributed by Joe Montero

Anthony Albaneses performance in San Diego was an embarrassment. Surely, he could have at least pretended to be other than a fawning puppet of the United States. Standing up as a leader with his own mind and a little independence would have won respect. The cringe worthy performance failed to do this. Many expected much better from a government they expected to turn away from the foreign policy of the Scott Morrison era. They are left disappointed.

The Australian Prime Minister joined US president Joe Biden and British Prime Minister rishi Sunak. These are the three countries joined in the AUKUS alliance, and it has been clear from who is calling the shots from the start. This has now been confirmed. Biden made it clear that hat his words that the purpose is to ensure the Indo-Pacific is kept free and open. This is code for maintaining the two oceans as United States spheres of influence and control. Sunak and Albanese played second fiddle.

Australia has signed up for the stationing of a fleet of nuclear submarines and expanding the number of United States military personnel on Australian soil and this has nothing to do with the defence of Australia. If this had been the case, equipping the Australian Defence Force would have taken a different form. It would not be based on the means to fight overseas, which is exactly what the submarines and the military alliance is all about.

The cost has of the submarines already blown out to $368 billion and likely to blow out much more before they are delivered sometime after 2030. This will impose a considerable cost on the Australian government and economy. Investment that could have been used for more useful purposes will be directed down this black hole.

If the truth were told, it would be said that these submarines will not really be Australian. They will remain under Washingtons command, while Australia gets saddled with the bill. The expanded port in Western Australia will become an American facility. The promised small arms and military supp...

U.S. regulators rejected Elon Musk's bid to test brain chips in humans, citing safety risks "IndyWatch Feed National"

On at least four occasions since 2019, Elon Musk has predicted that his medical device company, Neuralink, would soon start human trials of a revolutionary brain implant to treat intractable conditions such as paralysis and blindness. Yet the company, founded in 2016, didn't seek permission from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) until early 2022 and the agency rejected the application. Musk has detailed a bold vision for Neuralink: Both disabled and healthy people will pop into neighborhood facilities for speedy surgical insertions of devices with functions ranging from curing obesity, autism, depression or schizophrenia to web-surfing and telepathy. Musk also has said Neuralink would restore full mobility to paralyzed patients. Reuters exclusively reported late last year that the federal government was investigating the company's treatment of its research animals. The probe was launched amid growing employee concern that the company is rushing experiments, causing additional suffering and deaths of pigs, sheep and monkeys. Musk's company ... trails at least one direct rival in the race for FDA approval. Synchron, a competitor making a BCI implant, has won the agency's blessing for human trials. The company first tested its device on four patients in Australia who successfully sent text messages with their minds. Synchron recently raised $75 million, including from funds backed by tech billionaires Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos.

Wetland addiction "IndyWatch Feed Cvic"

My wetland addiction persists

The highlight of last weekend was five (5) Gull-billed Terns. Only my second local record of this species, the small and exclusive party soared into the sky high above me along with a mixed flock of Straw-necked Ibis and ducks (Grey Teal, Australian Shelduck, Pacific Black Duck and Australian Shoveler).

The Gull-billed Tern is a distinctive tern of both coastal and inland wetlands, foraging over shallow water for invertebrates, also taking frogs, lizards and flying insects on occasion. Significantly larger than both the Whiskered Tern and White-winged Black Tern (both species also seen this summer), the Gull-billed Tern has a heavy black bill and a large, black piratical patch surrounding the eye.

Black-tailed Native-hens are another irregular visitor, arriving as if from nowhere to the plains. To date Ive only seen a handful, but suspect more will arrive from the inland over coming weeks.

Small numbers of Golden-headed Cisticolas have been conspicuous on a number of wetlands.

Were ready to deliver and were here for the long run: Jimmy Eat World share Clarity on Their Future and Past "IndyWatch Feed Vic"

A gut-wrenching line delivered by THE Hilary Duff to Chad Michael Murray in the iconic 00s movie A Cinderella Story. Cut to the final play of the homecoming game, as Duffs Sam is chased down by Murrays Austin to share a kiss. A droplet falls on Sams cheek and the skies open up signalling the end of the drought. It is a pop culture moment that changed history itself, all underscored by the steady, emotionally-charged build of Jimmy Eat Worlds Hear You Me.

This is just one moment of the 90s and early 2000s soundtracked and made superior by the presence of Jim Adkins, Zach Lind, Tom Linton and Rick Burch. They made an appearance on Murray-led drama One Tree Hill at the infamous TRIC, and wanna-be rockstars lived out their best Jimmy Eat World stage experience playing The Middle on plastic-coloured buttons on Guitar Hero World Tour. It all came after the commercial success of Bleed American, but at this point, Jimmy was an adventurous and clever eight-year-old kid who had just entered his emo phase.

Keep up with the latest music news, festivals, interviews and reviews here.

Formed in 1993, the four-piece from Mesa, Arizona cut their teeth on the punk rock sounds of the southwest, releasing their debut EP One, Two, Three, Four the following year. It was their debut album Static Prevails and sophomore giant Clarity that built the Jimmy Eat World depth and diversified sound, drawing from the Sunny Day Real Estate framework. But the grunge waves of the 90s were bubbling at the shore of the new millennium as the indie rock resurgence and emo evolution appeared on the music horizon. Jimmy Eat World were in the swells, about to unknowingly hang ten on the shifting tides.

At the time when we were making Clarity and Bleed American, we were a really young band and we didnt really know how far we would go. We felt...

Never again response to Covid-19 pandemic profiteering, world figures warn "IndyWatch Feed National"

Tuesday, March 14, 2023: The Peoples Vaccine Alliance issued a letter by 204 eminent global figures on March 11, the third anniversary of the declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO), calling for governments to act in four ways:

  • Support a Pandemic Accord at the WHO that embeds equity and human rights in pandemic preparedness and response. To do so, it must commit governments to waive relevant intellectual property rules automatically and ensure the sharing of medical technology and knowledge when a Public Health Emergency of International Concern is declared.
  • Invest in scientific innovation and manufacturing capacity in the Global South through projects like the mRNA Technology Transfer Hub established by WHO and partners. Governments, companies, and international institutions should provide political, financial, and technical support to these initiatives to maximise production and supply for all.
  • Invest in global common goods. Public funding delivered miracles in the COVID-19 pandemic. But publicly financed medical innovations should be used to maximise the public benefit, not private profits. They should not be locked behind patents. All governments should invest more in public research and development, and place strict requirements for publicly funded medical technologies developing from that investment to be affordable and accessible to everyone, everywhere.
  • Remove the intellectual property barriers that prevent knowledge and technology sharing. Governments at the World Trade Organization (WTO) took too long and did too little to address this barrier for COVID-19 vaccines. WTO members should move to approve an intellectual property waiver for COVID-19-related vaccines and extend that decision to cover COVID-19 tests and treatments.

The Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz, former first lady of South Africa and Mozambique Graa Machel, former UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon, East Timor President Jose Ramos Horta, and Helen Clark, former Prime Minister of New Zealand, are among the signatories who called on governments to never again allow profiteering and nationalism to come before the needs of humanity, in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

These current and former presidents and ministers, Nobel laureates, faith leaders, heads of civil society organisations and health experts say Covid-19 vaccines and treatments had been developed with public fun...

Rental relief in the regions "IndyWatch Feed Vic"

City rentals tighten


SQM Research reported today an increase in rental vacancy rates in Darwin, Canberra, Hobart, as well as many regional locations, as the long tail of the dwelling construction pipeline delivered some welcome relief to tenants.


There were significant increases in rental vacancy rates in many parts of regional Australia: Gold Coast, Mornington Peninsula, and the Blue Mountains, for example.


On the other hand there were sharp declines to very tight levels in CBD vacancy rates for Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, as international students rushed back to Australia. 


Overall, there is likely to be ongoing pressure in the rental markets of the larger capital cities as students return and as employers increasingly require employees to be back in the office. 



Indeed there was no respite for renters in the largest capitals, with asking rents for units rising nearly 9 per cent in Sydney and Melbourne over the past quarter, while Brisbane wasn't far behind.

Located in an established community, adjacent to a draw card adventure park Aintree Reserve and jumping pillow, the indoor/outdoor space and fully operational commercial kitchen will serve the immediate community of over 13,000 residents (and growing), and will save the successful operator $50,000 in rent p/a for the first year, in addition to utility charges including water, gas and electricity.

Banks under pressure "IndyWatch Feed Vic"

Bank jitters continue

I've been on the road today down in Melbourne so no time to do blog posts.

Bonds have rallied very hard today, with European banks coming under pressure this evening.

Credit Suisse saw its share price dropping another 10 per cent to a new record low, trading below $2.20 - a far cry from the heady days of around $80 back in 2007.

It could be a lively trade overnight, with some regional US bank stocks getting crushed. 



Australia's 3-year bond yield is traded down as low as just 2.9 per cent before a small blunce; that's a huge change in thinking from 3.7 per cent only a few weeks ago.

US congress votes against ending occupation of Syria "IndyWatch Feed National"

The following article appeared on the news desk of The Cradle on 9 March 2023. Th ongoing occupation of roughly a third of Syria continues the unjust and illegal occupation of another country by that which sponsored ISIS and other terror groups, and in the name of combatting them. The occupation is really about geopolitical control and access to resources by a nation trying to build its empire. Congress voted against a bill that would put an end to the occupation.

A War Powers Resolution that would have ended the US armys illegal occupation of Syria was struck down late on 8 March by the House of Representatives in a 103-321 vote.

The bill, introduced late last month by Republican Matt Gaetz, garnered the support of 47 Republicans and 56 Democrats including several members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC).

US House votes against occupation troops pull out from Syria

Video from Al Mayadeen English

There is no role for the United States of America in Syria. We are not a Middle Eastern power. We have tried to build a democracy out of sand, blood, and Arab militias. Time and again, the work we do does not reduce chaos. Oftentimes, it causes chaos the very chaos that then subsequently leads to terrorism. While todays vote may have failed, my fight to end forever wars and bring our troops home has only just begun, Gaetz said in a statement following the vote.

We have to also acknowledge Syria and Iraq are the two countries on the planet Earth where we have done the most to fund ISIS. We give weapons to these so-called moderate rebels, Gaetz continued, referring to Washingtons policy to arm rebel groups affiliated with Al-Qaeda.

Seemacht EU "IndyWatch Feed National"

Die Maritime Sicherheitsstrategie der EU

Erstmals verabschiedet hat die EU eine Maritime Sicherheitsstrategie (European Maritime Security Strategy, EUMSS) im Jahr 2014. Zur Begrndung hie es damals, der grere Teil nicht nur des Auen-, sondern auch des Binnenhandels der Union werde auf dem Seeweg abgewickelt. Insbesondere hnge die Energiesicherheit der EU in hohem Ma vom Import von Energietrgern ber die Weltmeere ab.[1] Nicht zuletzt verliefen ber 70 Prozent der EU-Auengrenzen im Meer. Die Sicherheit der maritimen Gewsser bzw. die Sicherung der Seewege seien deshalb fr die EU von grter Bedeutung. Bereits damals hie es, dies gelte grundstzlich global insbesondere fr das Netzwerk der Schifffahrtsrouten zwischen Kontinenten, aber auch fr verschiedene Seegebiete mit spezieller strategischer Bedeutung. Besonders habe die EU die Nord- und die Ostsee, das Mittel- und das Schwarze Meer, die arktischen Gewsser und den Atlantischen Ozean sowie die Outermost Regions (OMR, Gebiete in uerster Randlage) im Blick. Letzteres bezieht sich auf die Gewsser rings um oder vor Territorien etwa in der Karibik oder im Indischen bzw. im Pazifischen Ozean, die von EU-Staaten kontrolliert werden Lnder und Inseln, die die Kolonialmchte einst erobert hatten und die sie bis heute in ihrem Besitz halten.

Im Golf von Guinea

Die neue Maritime Sicherheitsstrategie, die die EU-Kommission und der Auenbeauftragte Josep Borrell am Freitag vorgelegt haben, knpft im Kern an die Version aus dem Jahr 2014 an. So heit es, auch weiterhin msse man zum Beispiel gegen Piraterie, Menschenhandel, Schmuggel von Waffen und Drogen, illegalen Fischfang oder Terrorismus vorgehen; die EU tue dies beispielsweise im Rahmen ihrer Operation Atalanta, mit der sie seit 2008 am Horn von Afrika Piraten bekmpft, oder im Rahmen ihrer Operation Irini, mit der sie seit 2020 das Waffenembargo gegen Libyen durchzusetzen sucht. Auerdem sollen Manahmen wie diejenigen weitergefhrt werden, mit denen die EU im Golf von Guinea ttig ist. Die Region ist seit vielen Jahren von Piraterie betroffen, was die Union insofern trifft, als dort zahllose europische Handelsschiffe kreuzen. Die EU untersttzt jetzt Anrainerstaaten bzw. regionale Organisationen etwa bei der Verbesserung der Hafensicherheit oder auch bei Entwicklung sowie Umsetzung maritimer Sicherheitsstrategien.[2] In der Vergangenheit hat die Deutsche Marine auch schon an Gromanvern im Golf von Guinea teilgenommen, deren Ziel darin bestand, den gemeinsamen Kampf gegen Piraten zu proben.[3]

Strategischer Wettbewerb

Allerdings geht die neue Maritime Sicherheitsstrategie ber die Einsatz- und Operationswelt ihrer Vorgngerin deutlich hinaus. Zum einen zielt sie auf den verstrkten Schutz der eigenen maritimen Infrastruktur ab etwa auf den Schutz von Hfen und Ksteninfrastruktur, von Schiffen, aber auch von Pipelines und Unterseekabeln, und zwar unter explizitem Bezug auf den Ansch...

NSW Police Falsely Claimed that Violet Coco Blocked an Ambulance "IndyWatch Feed National"


good cross-section of NSW civil society was appalled when Violet Coco was sentenced to 15 months prison time last December, in relation to her taking part in a Fireproof Australia action that blocked one lane just one lane of the Sydney Harbour Bridge for 25 minutes last April.

During the hearing, NSW police argued that Coco and the three other Fireproof Australia activists conducting the nonviolent direct action to warn of the escalating climate crisis had blocked an ambulance trying to get across this bridge with its lights and sirens on responding to an emergency.

At the time, there had been an uptick in nonviolent climate action in Sydney, much of which involved road blockages, with the chief argument against these protests put by AM radio shock jocks and conservative politicians being they could block an ambulance responding to an emergency.

So, it was quite convenient that an ambulance had been put out by this action, as it served to validate the opposing position, just after the Perrottet government had rolled out its harsh antiprotest laws, while prominent climate defender Violet Coco was putting her liberty on the line.

But on Tuesday, when two fellow Fireproof activists, Alan Glover and Karen Fitz-Gibbon, went before Downing Centre Local Court, the NSW Police Force withdrew its false allegation that an ambulance had been blocked by their Harbour Bridge action, which has clear implications for C...

Who would want this? "IndyWatch Feed National"

Also, where is Ray Comfort getting the money?

Thats a box full of crap you can get for free from LivingWaters/london. Just fill out the form at that link, giving Ray Comfort your address, and he will ship up to ten boxes of his book and Bible tracts about the coronation.

You could have a thousand copies of Rays book and six thousand cheesy tracts delivered to your doorstep, totally free. Unless youre in the UK, EU, Australia, or New Zealand, in which case you dont get the books, just 10,000 cheesy tracts. Or if youre outside those countries, you get nothing, and will have to pick up your free tracts in person in London.

From this I have determined that Canada is truly blessed.

I thought about ordering a box, just to bleed a few drops from the bloated vampiric corpse of Ray Comforts unaccountably rich organization, but decided not to. My reasons: a) its not enough to exsanguinate the parasite, b) it would just encourage him, c) its incredibly wasteful and would just have to be recycled, and d) I dont want to read his stupid book (Ive read enough Comfort to know it will be awful), I dont want his tracts, and I dont need a box of waste paper in my house. The man is giving away free garbage, and that does not appeal.

I still have to wonder, though: does ol Ray have some multi-millionaire sugar daddy? Or does he get so much in donations from a horde of deluded Christians that he can afford these ridiculous give-aways? Does he pay taxes on all of his revenues that he then spends on evangelical nonsense?

By the way, Ray Comfort is very, very excited about the coronationbut hes not going to bother to go himself. He wants his minions to do the humiliating work of distributing his crap to all the people who dont want it in London.

The Myth of Fair Value "IndyWatch Feed National"

QUESTION: If the metals are not trading at a fair value relative to everything else, then does that not prove they are manipulated?

SN

 

ANSWER: Your problem is the assumption that everything must be trading at some fair value. That is up there with the theory of random walks.  ALL markets trade for periods where they remain well below fair value. That was the entire takeover boom of the 1980s which they also blamed on me because I was advising many of the takeover players. I simply showed these charts back then which show in terms of book value, the Dow Jones bottomed in 1977. The market was grossly undervalued because you could buy a company, sell all its tangible assets, and double or triple your money. Michael Douglas famous speech in that movie about greed would not even be possible if everything always trade like some mythical robot at fair value. Everything overshoots and undershoots.

Of course, - , which is forever bullish metals, claims they moved the metals in the direction they wanted from 2008 to 2014. It just seems that people claim it is always manipulation when they have been wrong. They only look at gold in dollars as you have said its a global market. They would have to manipulate all the currencies as well.

Health Officials Caught Deploying Fear and Staging Coverup "IndyWatch Feed National"

In January 2022, House Oversight Committee Republicans released a batch of emails sent to and from the National Institutes of Health (NIH),1,2,3 showing that scientists in the earliest days of the pandemic strongly suspected SARS-CoV-2 was a genetically engineered virus.

The correspondence also revealed that NIH leaders Dr. Anthony Fauci and then-NIH chief Dr. Francis Collins were nervous about the possibility that they'd funded the creation of this virus and were determined to suppress questions about its origin.

Fauci, Collins and at least 11 scientists convened for a conference call February 1, 2020, during which they discussed the evidence for genetic manipulation. Yet, no more than three days later, by February 4, four of the participants had already drafted a paper titled "The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2," in which they dismissed the possibility of a lab origin for the virus.

One of the authors of this paper, Kristian Andersen, Ph.D., a professor at Scripps Research, has so far insisted that Fauci did not attempt to influence the working group's conclusions.

In a letter to Sens. James Comer and Jim Jordan, Scripps Research answering questions on Andersen's behalf claimed that Andersen "objectively weighted all the evidence available to him." In a March 5, 2023, memorandum,4,5 the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic laid out evidence showing that this assertion is "demonstrably false."

Fauci and Collins Prompted Creation of 'Proximal Origin'

According to the Select Subcommittee, the evidence available clearly shows that Fauci did indeed prompt Andersen to write "Proximal Origin," and for a specific reason, namely to "disprove" the lab leak theory. "The authors of this paper skewed available evidence to achieve that goal," the Subcommittee writes.

As noted in the memorandum,6 in a February 8, 2020, email, Andersen stated: "Our main work over the last couple of weeks has been focused on trying to disprove any type of lab theory " Furthermore, in a February 12 email to the journal Nature, Andersen openly and clearly admitted Fauci's and Collins' influence:7

Guardian legitimises Mohammed el-Kurds blood libel "IndyWatch Feed National"

A Guardian article by deputy culture editor Sian Cain (Adelaide Writers Week: rare moments of empathy and nuance found amid a storm of controversy, March 12) legitimised the antisemitic charge that Israel harvests and eats the organs of dead Palestinians.
The journalist notes the following about a row at a Writers Week in South Australia invovling the racist, anti-Israel activist Mohammed el-Kurd.

A storm brewed. Attention turned to the other Palestinian writers on the bill, including Mohammed El-Kurd, a Palestinian poet whose debut collection Rifqa narrates his experience of dispossession in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood of East Jerusalem. The Anti-Defamation League has criticised some of his social media comments as antisemitic, as well as a line in one of his poems: They harvest organs of the martyred, feed their warriors our own.

It shouldnt require the ADL for a Guardian journalist to understand that the accusation of Israel harvest[ing] the organs ofmartyred Palestinians and feeding those organs to their own soldiers is a monstrous, medieval antisemitic blood libel variations of which incited the murder of Jews going back to the Middle Ages.  Though the libel began in Norwich in 1144 with the accusation that Jews murder non-Jews and then use the victims blood for Jewish rituals, the blood libel lives on in the sham charges accusing Jews/Zionists of harvesting the organs of their hapless Palestinian victims.

Battling Cancel Culture at Adelaide Writers Week "IndyWatch Feed National"

Writing festivals are often tired, stilted affairs, but the 38th Adelaide Writers Week did not promise to be that run-of-the-mill gathering of yawn-inducing, life draining sessions. For one thing, social media vultures and public relations experts, awaiting the next freely explosive remark or unguarded comment, were at hand to stir the pot and exhort cancel culture.

The fuss began with the festival organisers invitation of two Palestinian authors, Susan Abulhawa and Mohammed El-Kurd. Abulhawa was specifically targeted for critical comments on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, notably regarding NATO membership, and for being a mouthpiece of Russian propaganda, while El-Kurd has been singled out for social-media commentary on the Israeli state, calling it sadistic, demonic and a death cult.

Righteously, the South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas showed his less than worldly view on such festivals by insisting on boycotting their talks and presentations. Ever the vote-getting politician, there were those constituents at the Association of Ukrainians in South Australia who had been making noise, notably through their president, Frank Fursenko. We are very concerned that [the festival organisers] are giving a platform to people who are known apologists for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, insisted Fursenko.

Malinauskas even contemplated pulling government funding from the event, something he declared at his address opening Writers Week. (This was also the view of the South Australian opposition leader, David Speirs.) The premier, it should be noted, is less morally troubled when it comes to funding the LIV Golf tournament, backed by the obscurantist journalist-assassinating regime of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

At the very least, he made some concession to maturity: refusing to listen to someones viewpoint also involved surrendering the opportunity to challenge it, much less change their mind. But for all that Abulhawas presence at the Writers Week had to be actively questioned.

The Advertiser was less reserved, barking in childish condemnation and demanding, via a statement from editor Gemma Jone...
