Talked to someone today who is unvaxxed because they didn’t like ‘being forced to do it.’ Anyway the reason I was talking to them was because they had just died.

Naomi Klein, from her chapter in “The Climate Book”…
______________________

The climate crisis is not the only crisis we face. We face so many overlapping and intersecting emergencies — from surging white supremacy, to gender-based violence, to gaping economic inequality — that we simply can't afford to fix them one at a time.

We therefore need an integrated approach: policies designed to bring emissions down to zero while creating huge numbers of good, unionized jobs and delivering meaningful justice to those who have been most abused and excluded under the current extractive economy.

We need a just transition — recognizing that the work of confronting the climate emergency at speed and scale opens up a window to build a society that is fairer on every front, and where everyone is valued.

It really gets me that "journo" pundits nearly always get it wrong but when an Astrologer gets it right - that's just luck & when they get it wrong they say it shows it's BS. Well, how about #MSM predictions? Does it now show they're ALL BS? I think so.

Something I wrote about this a while ago >>

Predicting Election Results with Astrology

The chances of accurately predicting an election by pollsters and journalists are pretty dismal. If I toss a coin, there’s a 50:50 chance of being right. That’s not bad compared to some political c…

Here's one thing I've learned as a Jew and the son of a WWII refugee: you don't just watch out for the nazis - you watch who goes to bat for the nazis.

JK Rowling goes to bat for the nazis.

J. K. Rowling Tweets Support for Activist Embroiled in Nazi Controversy — Assigned

Kellie-Jay Keen has been the center of controversy over the Nazi presence at her Australian rallies for several days. Today, author J. K. Rowling showed her support for the embattled Keen.

In a recent #EuropeanUnion investigation into the purity or otherwise of #honey, nearly half of all samples were found to be adulterated with non-honey sweetening agents or various sorts; which points to significant #fraud against customers.

Ha, you might say; thank god we left #Europe & their double-dealing food manufacturers... sadly, of the ten samples from UK makers, all (100%) were adulterated, making the fraud endemic (on this evidence).

Luckily #Brexit has allowed us to relax oversight!

CAVEAT 2: PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCIES ARE CAVING TO PUBLIC PRESSURE: It's hard to shake the feeling public health agencies abandoned their missions. Even though we have known the main risk from #COVID19 is Long COVID, disabilities and chronic impairments, the CDC has not adjusted their strategy. It's relied on the Community Levels map, which is based on hospitalizations, and not the Transmission Map, which today shows most of the US with High or Substantial transmission.
