How many freedoms must we surrender for the supposed health and safety of the public? Have the governments in the West gone completely crazy or are they just reading the rules from the CCP lawless book? This video is from Melbourne, Australia where dictator Dan Andrews will probably be re-elected in two years because those who do not cherish the freedoms we had before the China virus will vote him and his communist party back into office! What does CHINA have waiting for us this year?

Would the media lie to us? ‘During the Texas blackout corporate media outlets couldn’t publish their fictional stories fast enough. “Wind and solar were not the problem!” declared the New York Times, USA Today, ABC News, the Associated Press, NPR, and countless others. The media outlets that shamelessly shill for a renewable energy nirvana can always be counted on to misinform.
The media proclaimed that wind and solar weren’t the problem because these unreliable sources aren’t expected to produce much power during winter months in the first place. That’s a small truth wrapped in a big fat lie. From February 8 to the 16th electricity output from wind was down 93 percent. On the two most critical days of the freeze, the 15th and 16th, wind power was almost non-existent. However, it is true this pitiful performance was not a major factor in the outages. That bit of truth created a window for deception.
According to our corporate media, the blackouts were caused by failures in natural gas, coal, and nuclear generation. Again, a tiny truth wrapped in a whopper of a lie. Yes, there were frozen pipes and a number of other glitches. However, the frozen pipe problem was largely caused by Ercot, the company that runs the grid. As Ercot cut power to protect the grid from damage, it cut off electricity to natural gas production and processing units. With no power to pressurize the pipes, they froze. This was a management failure, not a problem with natural gas-fired power. In spite of Ercot’s mismanagement of the system, natural gas delivered 450 percent more power from the 8th to the 16th. Yes, 450 percent more. And, this happened even as natural gas providers were delivering a record amount of gas to residents for home heating.
I could go on and on about grid mismanagement before and during the crisis. For example, Ercot allowed some coal and natural gas generators to go offline for maintenance even as weather forecasters were warning about the historic dimension of the big freeze. But talking about these issues distracts us from the giant problems that have been building up in Texas for more than 15 years.
What wind and solar advocates in the mainstream press ignore (or probably don’t even know) is that the electric grid demands a high level of consistency. It operates within a narrow margin at 60 hertz. If power is even .5 percent above or below 60 Hz the grid begins to fail. Wind and solar are wildly erratic. The large swings in power output test grid operators ability to maintain this small operating space. Dealing with the inconsistent nature of wind and solar is a manageable problem when they provide a small percentage of the power supply. But Texas has increased its wind generation from 2.9 percent in 2007 to 25 percent today. Solar went from next to nothing to 2.38 percent. That’s an enormous amount of unreliability for a grid that demands precision.
The only way to manage this problem is to maintain a large reserve margin of power that can be called upon at a moment’s notice. When electricity from wind and solar drop quickly as they regularly do, reserve power from natural gas fills the gap. A healthy reserve margin is 15 percent. But with wind claiming such a large percentage of generation in Texas, a larger margin (i.e. 25 percent) would be prudent. The reserve margin in Texas is only about 7.5 percent.
Setting mismanagement aside, this is the key problem with the Texas grid. There’s too much erratic wind and solar and not nearly enough reliable baseload power from coal, nuclear, and natural gas. The reserve margin should be at least doubled and probably tripled to accommodate unreliable wind and solar that are already part of the system. Understanding this reality takes some research and deeper thinking, but our corporate media are either not interested or are incapable of learning about the technical aspects of how the electrical grid functions.
True journalism is hard to find these days. What could be more important to the function of our modern world than electricity? And yet, corporate media are more interested in telling small truths wrapped in giant lies. The consequences be damned.’ https://papundits.wordpress.com/2021/03/14/media-blacks-out-truth-in-texas/
Where do government’s get their money? Australia’s Federal and state governments literally, literally closed down tourism in Australia. The international and state borders were CLOSED. Therefore, jobs were lost and some tourism companies closed completely. Now, that the state and Federal governments have done their damage Australia’s ‘Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced 800,000 discounted airline tickets will be made available to Australians as part of the federal government’s $1.2 billion bid to restore the tourism, travel and aviation industries. “This is another ticket to recovery for Australia,” he said. “To keep people in their jobs we’ve got to put planes in the air and we’ve got to put tourists on the ground. “We have a world class tourism industry and this is ensuring that they can get back to work. “Australians have been amazing during COVID-19. That is the rock on which we’ve built our recovery, the generosity and the resilience and the kindness and the million acts of patience.”’ https://www.skynews.com.au/details/_6238670381001?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily%20Sky%20News%20Australia%20%20Newsletter&utm_content=Daily%20Sky%20News%20Australia%20%20Newsletter+CID_5822da2e36ed1c232f1c3261bdf8952d&utm_source=Daily%20newsletter&utm_term=This%20is%20another%20ticket%20to%20recovery%20PM%20spruiks%20aviation%20support%20package
What world do these politicians live on?
Australia used to have some of the cheapest electricity until the climate religion and renewables! The state of New South Wales has a make believe conservative government that has sold itself out to the climate scam and ‘Everything to do with ‘net-zero’ hands a competitive advantage to the Communist Party of China and results in a wealth transfer from Australia to Beijing. The Communist Chinese are laughing at the stupidity of the NSW Liberals. https://www.theepochtimes.com/nsws-net-zero-plan-may…The plan also promises to support the state economic growth promising to create over 2400 jobs and save households $40 a year on electricity bills. However, Federal MP Craig Kelly expressed concern over the plan. Kelly is concerned the Program could inadvertently support Chinese-backed companies selling solar panels, wind-turbine components, and batteries placing Australia at a direct economic disadvantage with China. “It’s a forced mandate that forces us to buy more solar panels, and of course, more than 90 percent of imported solar panels come from China,” Kelly told The Epoch Times in a phone interview. “It forces us to rely upon large batteries which come from China, more wind turbine parts, all of which come from China.” “The net result will be a wealth transfer out of Australia to the Communist Party of China,” Kelly added. Additionally, Kelly criticised the large $750 million expenditure, of which $195 million will go to research developing technology for sectors that are deemed hard-to-abate—essentially those that have no low-emission alternatives due to specific industrial processes (such as high-temperature heating) that rely on fossil fuels. “What happens if it doesn’t work?” Kelly said.’https://www.facebook.com/CraigKellyMP
‘If you believe that solar & wind are ‘cheaper’, then you’ve been tricked by liars and spivs that want to pocket commissions on selling the country out to China. https://www.bloomberg.com/…/coal-india-approves-32…Coal India Ltd. approved an investment of about 473 billion rupees ($6.4 billion) on mining projects as the company seeks to boost output to replace imports of the fuel, the Kolkata-based miner said in an emailed statement.The approvals include eight new projects as well as expansion plans for 24 existing mines, Coal India said. The 32 sites will have a combined peak output of 193 million tons a year, the highest capacity approved during a fiscal year, it said. The projects will produce 81 million tons annually from the financial year starting April 2023, by when the miner targets reaching 1 billion tons of annual production.The world’s biggest miner is counting on a revival in demand for the fuel as the Indian economy emerges from a pandemic-induced slump. Besides industrial consumption, the approaching summer is expected to boost demand for electricity and spur power generators to replenish their declining coal inventories, Coal India’s Chairman Pramod Agrawal said last month.India’s coal users imported a record 248.5 million tons of the fuel in the fiscal year ended 2020. Increasing domestic production will be key to weaning them away from overseas purchases, Coal India said.’ https://www.facebook.com/CraigKellyMP
Does Joe even know what he is signing?
‘President Joe Biden is signing two executive orders on Monday, establishing a White House Gender Policy Council and evaluating existing Title IX guidelines for sexual assault investigations on college campuses.
According to USA Today, the gender council will work with other governing bodies to develop gender equality in domestic and foreign policies, address discrimination and sexual harassment, as well as work toward expanding female participation in the workforce.’https://www.faithwire.com/2021/03/08/biden-creating-a-gender-council-expanding-trans-rights-on-international-womens-day/?utm_source=FWNL

A friend sent this video via Messenger and I thought it worth sharing. Those in charge keep saying they are following the science but it is only the science that fits their narrative!
Will this get by the Twitterite Fact Checkers? Oh, they care so much for facts! NOT!
If you are like me you don’t really care what Harry and Meghan say or do. Nevertheless, the latest from the once royal couple is that ‘Meghan Markle has sensationally declared Kate Middleton made her cry days before her wedding over a dispute about flower girls dresses. “A few days before the wedding she was upset about something, yes, the issue was correct about flower girl dresses,” the Duchess of Sussex said in an interview with Oprah Winfrey. “It made me cry, and it really hurt my feelings. “I don’t think it’s fair to her to get into the details of that because she apologised and I’ve forgiven her. “What was hard to get over was being blamed for something not only I did not do, but that happened to me.” The British tabloids published the “reverse” story – which Meghan disputed. “Everyone in the institution knew it wasn’t true,” the Duchess of Sussex said. “The reverse happened, and I don’t say that to be disparaging to anyone because it was a really hard week of the wedding and she was upset about something. “She owned it and she apologised and she brought me flowers and a note apologising, and she did what I would do if I knew that I hurt someone, right, to just take accountability for it. “What was shocking was that, what was it six, seven months, after our wedding that the reverse of that would be out in the world. “I would’ve never wanted that to come out about her, ever, even though it happened I protected that from ever being out in the world.”’https://www.skynews.com.au/details/_6237833487001?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily%20Sky%20News%20Australia%20%20Newsletter&utm_content=Daily%20Sky%20News%20Australia%20%20Newsletter+CID_3598d8a42a604191bcbad85b6bb38027&utm_source=Daily%20newsletter&utm_term=BOMBSHELL%20OPRAH%20INTERVIEW%20Meghan%20Markle%20reveals%20Kate%20Middleton%20made%20her%20cry
Now you know!!!
‘Apparently, a Facebook fact checker’s idea of a perfect start to the weekend included censoring memes on the platform. PolitiFact provided a fact-check of a meme that poked fun at the idea of young children being able to “take hormones” and “change [their] sex.”
The image featured the father and a son from “The Family Circus,” with text that reads, “Can I have a cigarette? No, you’re 5. Can I have a beer? No, you’re 5. Can I drive the car? No, you’re 5. Can I take hormones and change my sex? Sure! You know best.”
Facebook slapped a filter over the meme, which said “False Information: This information was checked in another post by independent fact-checkers.” Upon clicking “see why,” users are directed to a pop-up correction from PolitiFact.
PolitiFact, a Facebook fact checker affiliated with the liberal Soros-funded Poynter Institute, claimed that the meme is “False.” “No, young children cannot take hormones or change their sex.”
“Hormone treatment for feminization or masculinization of the body is typically not considered until patients are at least 16 years old,” said PolitiFact’s article condemning the meme. “Gender reassignment surgery is typically only available to those 18 and older in the United States,” said Politifact’s article on the meme. Contrary to Politifact’s argument, the media has long celebrated young children who don’t conform to gender norms. The Williams Institute claimed in 2017 that “150,000 youth ages 13 to 17 identify as transgender,” and “1.4M adults identify as transgender.”
The fact that Facebook has now begun to even crack down on memes is far from a surprise., as Facebook indefinitely suspended former President Donald Trump from the platform following the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol Building. The platform allegedly deleted Christian conservative actor Kevin Sorbo’s account, and has repeatedly cracked down on what it deems to be “misinformation” about COVID-19.’https://newsbusters.org/blogs/techwatch/kayla-sargent/2021/03/05/hide-your-memes-facebook-fact-checker-attacks-family
