Decidedly not!

I read a meme on Facebook that said the only thing between us and extinction is a six inch layer of topsoil, sunlight and rain.
Then I read the US are planning on block the sun’s rays and the Australian government is allowing coal companies to destroy our farming land for the coal underneath it.
And I wonder, “Are they insane?”
I read about the deformed babies being born in Iraq after exposure to depleted uranium munitions.
Then I hear of the Australian government letting the US Navy bombard our coast with depleted uranium munitions during war games.
And I wonder, “Are they insane?”
I see a video of a mother turning on her kitchen tap, holding a lighter to it and the gas in the water catching alight from the water polluted by gas fracking.
Then I read of the Australian Labor Party promising to spend AU$1.5 BILLION dollars to build a pipeline to transport fracked gas from the Northern Territory.
And I wonder, “Are they insane?”
I hear of generous welfare amounts being given to migrants who have (and in some cases will never) contribute to this country.
Then I hear from a mate in his 70s how difficult it is for social workers to find accommodation for people like him and how the social worker tells him she cries sometimes at the injustice of the system grossly favouring migrants rather than people who have worked and paid their taxes for 40+ years.
And I wonder, “Are they insane?”
I hear of our farmers, desperate for water.
Then I hear of Adani polluting with their operations, being given approval despite not satisfying ecological requirements, illegally drilling prior to approval and the danger their coal mine presents to the Great Barrier Reef, the billions of litres of water that will be used by them without payment, depriving our farmers of much needed water.
And I wonder, “Are they insane?”
I read about the Vietnamese civilians born with deformities and the US troops with health issues after exposure to Agent Orange and the same company that made it being successfully sued for their glyphosate containing weedkiller, Roundup, causing cancer and the WHO calling glyphosate a probably carcinogen.
Then I read the US EPA preparing to allow it to continue to be sold AND IT STILL BEING ALLOWED TO BE SOLD HERE IN OZ.
And I wonder, “Are they insane?”
I hear the Liberal Party claiming their great management of the economy.
Then I hear the coutry is in more debt than we have ever been and we have more than 30% of people over 65 living on or below the poverty line.
And I wonder, “Are they insane?”
I see a whistleblower video of organ harvesting from live patients, apparently state sanctioned in China. So you can appreciate their respect for the value of human life is a tad less than you and I might want it to be. I read of the food reserve buffer in the world shrinking which makes us more vulnerable to crop failures.
Then I hear we have sold a huge quantity of a farmland and infrastructure to Chinese interests with government approval. And I wonder, “What would happen if there was a crop failure in China? What if a significant portion of our local crop was just shipped offshore without us getting any?”
And I wonder, “Are they insane?”
I hear of African migrants forming gangs and terrorising honest, law abiding citizens in their own homes and on the streets and still allowed to stay here. I here of other migrants brought before the courts on sexual assault charges and not even serving jail terms because it was due to cultural differences.
And I wonder, “Are they insane?”
We have an election coming up in a couple of weeks. Please think about these points (and probably others you have in mind) before doing the same old, same old and voting Greens, Labor, Liberal or Nationals. They are the architects of the above insanities.
And Clive Palmer wants to give one of the great polluters of the world the go ahead to mine coal and potentially destroy the Great Barrrier Reef. We can do better than that Clive!
Here are some alternatives to check out:
IMOParty and Health Australia are both solidly pro vaccine choice and anti-compulsory vaccination.
CEC are dead against the criminal bankers and thier parliamentary coconspiritors stealing your bank deposits with bail in legislation.
Liberal Democrats are for more personal freedoms than the majors. Here’s one person’s take on it:

Just wanted to share something with everyone.
The world would be a much better place if we were all kinder to each other. Not just when you’re talking to a teacher, waiter, boss or barista, but also in situations where others aren’t being kind to you. Sometimes we have every right to not be kind to others because of how they are treating us, but if we can recognise that everyone has their own shit going on and treat everyone kindly, the world will be a much better place.
Have a great morning/afternoon/night!
First and foremost, everything you’ve ever heard or read stating that “the science on vaccines is settled” is wrong.
Five years ago, I stood firmly in the pro-vaccine camp. As a physician, we were never taught specifically about vaccines, although we learned about the forms of immunity our bodies possess.
We were told that vaccines worked, they were crucial to public health, and that we could trust the CDC, WHO, and other health agencies which had only our “best interests” at heart.
Since retiring from practice, I’ve actually had the time to research the topic and discovered just how naive I was.
This is just a “brief” summary of what I’ve learned. I could add pages and pages on each vaccine.
That which you resist and fail you become.
That’s how those with anti-social traits became so.
They resisted someone with anti-social traits.
Instead of resisting the bad, fight FOR the good!
Remember, you get that on which you put your attention!
Put your attention on what you want!
(Note to self: Apply this principle more in your own life!)
The government is ratcheting up its efforts to convince Americans to get flu shots. “You can’t walk into a pharmacy without seeing lines, and the government is now telling preachers to tell their congregations to get flu shots,” says Dr. Russell Blaylock, renowned neurosurgeon and editor of the Blaylock Wellness Report. “I’ve never seen anything like it.
The incidence of flu across the United States is extremely low — there are virtually no outbreaks — and not a single child has died. Yet, the flu vaccine is being pushed as if it’s the greatest health advance ever discovered.
“The vaccine is completely worthless, and the government knows it,” says Dr. Blaylock. “There are three reasons the government tells the elderly why they should get flu shots: secondary pneumonia, hospitalization, and death. Yet a study by the Cochrane group studied hundreds of thousands of people and found it offered zero protection for those three things in the general community. It offered people in nursing homes some immunity against the flu — at best one-third — but that was only if they picked the right vaccine.”
The government also says that every baby over the age of six months should have a vaccine, and they know it contains a dose of mercury that is toxic to the brain. They also know the studies have shown that the flu vaccine has zero — zero — effectiveness in children under 5.
Here’s the bottom line: The vast number of people who get the flu vaccine aren’t going to get any benefit, but they get all of the risks and complications.
Flu vaccines contain mercury in the form of thimerosal (ethylmercury), a brain toxin, which accumulates in the brain and other organs. “It’s incorporated into the brain for a lifetime,” says Dr. Blaylock. “After five or 10 years of flu shots, enough mercury accumulates in the brain that every single study agrees is neurotoxic. Mercury is extremely toxic to the brain even in very small concentrations, and there are thousands of studies that prove it.”
The changes that we see in the brain associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are all easily produced by mercury in these doses.
That’s it Darcy, we’re listening to the Eagles on our walks from now on!
Not only that, using antibacterial handwashes helps develop antibiotic resistant germs!
