China
Just thought I would take a moment to again inform you that the Conversation https://theconversation.com/au is a Leftist/Marxist/Greens online newsletter claiming ‘Academic rigour, journalistic flair’. Whatever! It is pretty obvious that the Conversation promotes the Leftist agenda of the Marxist/Greens on just about everything. For example one recent article said ‘While 2020 provided the ultimate stress test for countries to discover their vulnerabilities, we can confidently predict the New Year will bring its own challenges.
So what will dominate international affairs in 2021? I’m expecting to be watching four Cs: coronavirus, China, climate and crises.’https://theconversation.com/coronavirus-china-and-climate-where-australias-foreign-relations-attention-will-be-in-2021-150158
Now, I won’t waste your time with the whole article but did you note the 4 c’s? Go to the article if you don’t believe me and read it and you will see how Left leaning the one sided Conversation is! You’ve been in those kind of conversations before haven’t you? Howbeit, once you read most of the articles in the one way Conversation you will be more than convinced that those who write for the one way Conversation are Leftist/Marxist/Green/Red folk on most if not all issues of the day! They are definitely against President Trump and gung hoe for Biden, China and believe whole heartedly in the climate scam.
Oh, well, at least reading the one way Left leaning Marxist/Greens Conversation one knows where the Left is on the issues as they don’t seek to hide it from the reader!
Don’t bother me with the facts! That seems to be what the political elite seem to be saying. However, ‘Using a new observational approach to an old but most important question, CLINTEL President Guus Berkhout finds that about 62% of the atmospheric CO2 increase is due to natural sources, not human emissions. The study then looks at the implications for drastic CO2 reduction measures, finding that these measures will not stop the atmospheric increase. Actually, they will have very limited effect. Hence the title of the report is “Managing the Carbon Dioxide Content in the Earth’s Atmosphere“.
Professor Berkhout’s approach is based on proven technology in geophysical imaging. He calls his method spectral ‘fingerprint detection (FPD)’, because it looks at the relationship between fine-grained details of the atmospheric CO2 increase and anthropogenic emissions over time by computing auto and cross correlation functions.
Note that in the spectral FPD approach knowledge about the existence of different CO2 isotopes (C12 and C13) is not required. This is consistent with the current decarbonization practice, where minimization of the atmospheric CO2 concentration is the target, whatever the isotopic composition.
Note also that spectral FPD reveals that a lot of information is hidden in the variability of observations. Therefore, spectral FPD starts with decomposing observations into trends and changes along the trends.
The study puts it this way:
“The fine-grained variability of the anthropogenic emission represents the ‘fingerprintof the human CO2-source, telling us that most of the anthropogenic CO2-emission is absorbed by the land-ocean reservoir (fingerprint detection). It also reveals the existence of internal oscillations between the atmosphere and the land-ocean reservoir.”
There is a lot of math here, including least-squares minimization, but the results are clear. An estimated 62% of the increased CO2 concentration is entirely natural.
The study then applies these findings to determine the impact of four different emission reduction scenarios, as follows:
“Four policy scenarios for decarbonization purposes have been built: ‘Business as Usual’, ‘Stabilizing the Emission’, ‘Reducing the emission’ and ‘Making use of CCS’. A big impact conclusion for policy making is that zero anthropogenic emission – being a major achievement– does not mean at all that the atmospheric accumulation becomes zero.”
The analysis comes with a warning:
“Each scenario has its own phase diagram, showing the relationship between atmospheric concentration and anthropogenic emission. It is advised that decarbonization policies are designed such that the transition path in the phase diagram is technically, economically and socially feasible.” (Emphasis added)
Given that even the most stringent (and hugely expensive) scenario does not stop the natural CO2 increase, their rationale is greatly diminished. Also, given that most of the past increase is natural, we can stop blaming ourselves for it.
Professor Berkhout says this is just the first step in applying spectral FPD to the science of climate change:
“By considering spectral fingerprint detection on any source variability, there will be a lot of applications. Apart from CO2 variability, we will look at solar-irradiation variability, cloudiness variability, etc. to determine their individual influence on atmospheric temperature. It leads to a multidimensional causality determination. Again, without any theoretical assumptions. It is all based on observations.”
In science new methods often yield surprising results. I look forward to this multidimensional causality determination with great interest. In the meantime, the climate science and policy communities need to rethink the contribution of human emission to the atmospheric CO2 increase, especially with regard to the potentially destructive mitigation actions.
Combining this conclusion with the evidence that more CO2 will make our planet greener, what the h… are politicians up to? Are they racing to see who can enact the worst policies?’https://papundits.wordpress.com/2020/12/20/clintel-study-finds-most-of-the-co2-increase-is-natural/

One would have to be one of the dead Biden voters not to see that China played a part in the 2020 Presidential election.
‘US intelligence agencies reportedly possess intelligence that suggest China sought to interfere in the 2020 presidential election, pushing a narrative through state-controlled media organizations that tried to smear Donald Trump as a white supremacist.
The so-called intelligence community is notoriously loathe to provide evidence backing up assertions with great implications, but One America News Network reported Wednesday that career officials of federal intelligence agencies support Trump administration Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe’s suspicions of Chinese interference. Other federal employees are trying to sweep the intelligence suggesting Chinese interference under the rug.
Ratcliffe has informed liberal elements of the intelligence community that he won’t sign off on reports that ignore evidence of Chinese interference in the election.’https://dcswampwatch.org/intelligence-agencies-have-information-suggesting-china-interfered-in-2020-presidential-election-against-trump/
‘TOYOTA CHIEF : ELECTRIC CARS OVER-HYPED, COULD COST HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS AND MAKE CARS UNAFFORDABLE FOR AVERAGE PEOPLE But that is what the ‘Great Reset’ is all about – a future where private cars are only for the elites. And since cars are the one greatest symbols of freedom, under the Great Reset, we can’t let average people have them. https://www.wsj.com/…/toyotas-chief-says-electric…TOKYO— Toyota Motor Corp.’s leader criticized what he described as excessive hype over electric vehicles, saying advocates failed to consider the carbon emitted by generating electricity and the costs of an EV transition. Toyota President Akio Toyoda said Japan would run out of electricity in the summer if all cars were running on electric power. The infrastructure needed to support a fleet consisting entirely of EVs would cost Japan between ¥14 trillion and ¥37 trillion, the equivalent of $135 billion to $358 billion, he said. “When politicians are out there saying, ‘Let’s get rid of all cars using gasoline,’ do they understand this?” Mr. Toyoda said Thursday at a year-end news conference in his capacity as chairman of the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association. He said if Japan is too hasty in banning gasoline-powered cars, “the current business model of the car industry is going to collapse,” causing the loss of millions of jobs.’https://www.facebook.com/CraigKellyMP
Reading what men of other persuasions have to say is interesting. I recently came across a web site where Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) men write articles on just about anything and everything or so it seems.
One article that caught my attention had to do with the 2020 Presidential election. As I read the article I agreed and disagreed. However, before we get to the article allow me to put forth some Scripture which I believe have some bearing on the subject.
Matthew 14:1-4 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, 2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him. 3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife. 4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. John Baptist was a fearless preacher and that landed him in jail and eventually losing his head, literally.
Acts 5:27-29 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us. 29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. This was a religious council.
Romans 13:1-5 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
1Timothy 2:1-4 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
1Peter 2:13-17 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. 15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: 16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
God and His Word are never wrong. So, in consideration of Scripture what are we to do with a situation like the one the USA is in today? It is a fact and blatantly obvious that there was deceit, devilishness and dishonesty in many of the states during this election. It must also be considered that in the USA there continues to be the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Now, the choice between the two running for President is very clear at least should be for a Believer. One example is that Biden is pro-abortion and has many other leftist/Marxist agendas! President Trump isn’t perfect BUT his record shows he is for the unborn and has America’s good at heart!
I guess, when January 3rd comes if Biden is inaugurated as President then we will have to live with it but he became President by dishonesty and a true Believer MUST recognize that as a FACT! Here’s the article and let me know what you think.
‘Our venerable Electoral College votes today in their respective states. Diehards still see options, probably extending to Inauguration Day and beyond. Let them exercise their first amendment rights loudly but peacefully, but Joe Biden won. Donald Trump lost…and lost…and lost…and lost.‘ Trump only lost because of the cheating and dishonesty!
‘One need not agree with any of Biden’s positions, policies, appointments, or nominees but Christians do need to pray for political leaders – a clear biblical mandate, not an optional suggestion. The sooner prayers begin, the better.’ Yes, [pray for God to over-rule the plans of this man. There are too many things to point out here but do a little search and you will see how dishonest Biden has been in his political career.
‘And join me in continuing in prayer for President Trump for the next few weeks until January 20th when he leaves the White House and becomes an unelected private citizen like me.’ President Trump will always be my President knowing that he was CHEATED in the 2020 election.
‘Southern Baptists might not be in the inner circle of the new administration but we’ve got free access to God’s throne. Believers of all kinds in all places have had that and our troubled segment of Christendom could use a little leadership right about now.’https://sbcvoices.com/time-to-come-together-and-pray-for-president-elect-biden/
Praise God that He hears all men who are repentant and come to Him by faith!
2Chronicles 33:11-13 Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon. 12 And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, 13 And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God.
The China virus is out to destroy not only the Presidential election of President Trump but the everyday life of the average Joe. Yes, there is a Commie under every bed and with New Year’s Eve approaching the China Virus is changing even that!!
‘Community safety is the priority for this New Year’s Eve, so a restricted Green Zone has been created around areas of Sydney Harbour.
A NYE Pass is required to enter the Green Zone. You’ll need to apply for a Pass if you’re planning to be in the Green Zone after 5pm on New Year’s Eve and you’re:
- a resident of the Green Zone, or a guest of a resident
- a customer with a booking at a restaurant or hotel, or an event within the Green Zone
- staff of a restaurant, hotel or office within the Green Zone
Applications for Passes are now open.
The best vantage points within the Green Zone will be reserved for invited frontline workers.
There is a Yellow Zone around the Green Zone which doesn’t require a Pass.
Some of the parks within the Yellow Zone will be closed on NYE. Please check with your local council before making plans.
Remember to physically distance and if you can’t, wear a mask. If catching public transport, wear a mask to and from the event.
So this year, make a booking or stay local and celebrate in your community.’ This was an email from https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/covid-safe/major-events/new-years-eve?utm_source=sfmc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Covid+EDM+%2310+091220&utm_term=Main+Body+Copy_CTA&utm_id=392719&sfmc_id=94661169#utm_source=ServiceNSW&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=Covid%20EDM%20%2310%2016122020&utm_term=ConsumerCOVIDeDM10&utm_content=Header%20Image%20%26%20CTA
May 2021 be a year without the Commie China virus regulations and scare tactics brought to us by those we call politicians!
‘YES – HE IS GOING TO BE ELECTED IF THE POWERS THAT BE WANT IT. IT IS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DEFEAT UNLIMITED FAKE VOTES, UNLIMITED FAKE ELECTRONIC VOTES AND REPUBLICANS NOT ALLOWED TO POLL WATCH AND ACTUALLY SEE THE VOTES AND BE ABLE TO CONTEST. THE ELECTION IS A SCAM AND THE CORRUPT GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA IS ALLOWING IT. HE CAN CALL A SPECIAL SESSION TO STOP THE FAKE VOTES NOW – BUT IS OBVIOUSLY PAID OFF BY SOMEONE, CHINA, ACCORDING TO LIN WOOD.’ https://generaldispatch.whatfinger.com/the-next-senator-of-georgia-raphael-warnock-communist-is-still-at-it/
I had some black friends in high school back in the early 60’s and we all got along fine. They were black and I was white! We all knew what color we were and we lived with it. Not so today! Today, race and gender are the issue! Society is truly screwed up and sadly doesn’t look like it will get any better. The Western governments facilitate this racial and gender confusion and hatred. Do they really think having organizations for the different ethnic groups are going to cement everyone together? Well, whatever their reasoning ‘The National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC) celebrates the Black LGBTQ+/SGL candidates who have won their elections, and all who ran.
Of the 574 LGBTQ+ candidates running this year, at least 157 have won, including Ritchie Torres, the first out gay Afro-Latino, and Mondaire Jones the first out gay Black man, to be elected to Congress. They’re not alone.’ http://www.nbjc.org/media-center/releases/2020-election-NBJC-celebrates-100s-lgbtq-candidates
So, now we or rather they are celebrating not only the color of the person but the gender identity! My worry is not so much for me as an older person but my grandchildren growing up in this nonsensical society!
