if they were truely concerned about the great barrier reef they’d stop some of the stupid man made shit thats damaging it.
a chinese? ship captain gets off course a few years back and just smashed their way through a good section of the reef until they became stuck, leaving a 3km scar in the reef void of marine life
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Great_Barrier_Reef_oil_spill
the govt approved the expansion of Abbott Point coal port, which will make it the largest in the world. They plan dredge near the reef there was some debate if they’d dump the dredge spoil in sea (possibly affecting the reef) or dump it on land
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-12-22/massive-abbot-point-coal-port-expansion-gets-federal-approval/7047380
all done at a time when coal prices are tanking anyway.
It seems the only thing our country is capable of doing is digging big holes in the ground, including the recent talks about making our state (south aus) a nuke waste storage facility like finlands “Onkolo” storage facility.
just like our food supply. ship all the good stuff out, keep (or import) all the rubbish (including rubbish food from polluted waters in asia)
“US Intel Caught Pushing Putin-Trump Conspiracy Theory”
— Well, Trump didn’t exactly help his cause when he said “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think that you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press—let’s see if that happens, that’ll be nice.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kxG8uJUsWU
…basically asking Russia to hack the US government in order to influence the outcome of the Presidential election….nice.
My Mom phoned me in a panic last week because of an impending catastrophic storm in Victoria. She had water and candles and canned goods. As it turns out, it got a little bit windy and then was a beautiful day. However… the terrifying headlines of what was probably going to happen were firmly embedded in her geriatric skull. At some future meeting, she will ask me if I can deny that the climate is not only changing but for the worse. I will again be unable to tell her that it is not for she has seen it with her own eyes. The prefrontal cortex has been bypassed and the limbic system fully engaged. Anger will be the programmed emotional response to logic.
I was in Hawaii in July this year. We had TV on to expose the kids to the wonders of cable. Red ticker tape warning along the bottom of the screen: Hurricane coming. It was to hit Honolulu at the precise time of our flight home. It got a little bit windy and then cleared up and was a beautiful evening.
Keep us afraid. Keep us ashamed and guilty. Keep us guessing. This is the stuff of propaganda and it works.
the storm hit SA very hard, one of the worst we have had in a very long time (we rarely if ever get a hurricane)
our entire state of 1.7mil was without power for some time after 22 high power transmission lines were bent over like a wet noodle.
so yeah, the storm was actually pretty bad here, but of course all the climate change “guru’s” were very happy to claim it as proof

Obliv,
You are quite right to point out there was a very big storm that Did do a lot of damage. My points are the following:
– there have always been big storms that do a lot of damage… always will be
– media exaggerates every storm to be The record breaking storm of armageddon
– the Climate Crisis legend needs us to believe storms are increasing in severity and regularity
– media tells us WE are responsible for every evil weather event because of our sinful combustion and must be punished with taxes.
The Great Calgary Flood of 2013 did a whole lot of damage. Much of Calgary is built in a flood plain. The population exploded in recent years…therefore, more recent floods will cause more damage to human settlement. But, as you suggest, the “guru’s” will claim the damage as irrefutable proof of Climate Crisis that can only be solved by sending money to the unelected United Nations.

The media will continue to use every opportunity to show the public every fallen tree, every crashing wave, every drought, every flood and follow up with an environmentalist telling us how our taxes can save the planet.
“Keep us afraid. Keep us ashamed and guilty. Keep us guessing. This is the stuff of propaganda and it works.”
All bow before the God of propaganda, Edward Bernays!
Whenever I read an article from Wapo or the NYT, and see the leading phrases and deliberate choice of certain words and wording. I’m reminded of his influence in our modern society, and I just grit my teeth.
The Lamestream media is trying desperately to twist the story from the Proj Veritas videos. Distorting it to make it appear these guys were just “theorizing” about election rigging and voter fraud :insert eye roll:
My own experience of this – which is almost daily it seems – gives me the impression that any attempt to accept these facts and contemplate the full extent of their consequences leads to too much suffering.
I’m not sure on ‘correctness’ any more. I just use the simplest answer as my first ‘working hypothesis’ and move on from there. I don’t need to prove anything to anyone, I just wish to have as accurate understanding of the world I live in as possible.
And, this is often the question I pose to people: do you not want to know what’s actually happening? Do you want to know if you’re being fed lies via state propaganda? Do you want to know who your ‘elected’ representative’s actual boss is? Do you want to know why you have less spending power than ten years ago? etc etc etc.
I find that people find many questions of geopolitical power as abstract. They do not see, and do not want to see due to the suffering I mentioned earlier, how it relates directly to their lives each and every day.
J&J (James and James),
Great episode!
— SPUTNIK NEWS —
Sputnik News recently had an advertisement on OILPRICE.COM (which is a well read news service about the oil industry).
The AD featured a link to a story about Controlled Demolition of the Towers citing the recent article in “EuroPhysics News”.
Here it is with screenshots…

~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~
Pilato makes a good point about “the news as advertising as propaganda.”
And another interesting aspect…
A stronger trend is appearing on mainstream news sights (e.g. Yahoo or CNN). The trend is towards more “embedded ads” as if the ad was a news story. In fact, it is difficult to tell the difference sometimes.
I suspect that part of this increased trend is to try to gain more advertising revenue, because the volume of readers is dropping.

My thanks to Tom Secker (he follows Corbett and Sibel) who mentioned “Black Dynamite” (my era of movies).

Haha, that’s a funny clip, I have to watch the movie now.
Great way to cap off “Conspiracy” Friday.
Thanks guys. I was worried that only I had a kitsch sense of humor.
Black Dynamite is a modern hero who discovers the CIA dealing heroin and covert corporate “belittling” of the health of Americans with a government-brand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FA368-dVWs
Read the PLOT to understand the malt liquor and Kansas and more. Richard Nixon plays a role.

I find there’s an even more pervasive problem than denying an informed POV. At least there’s hope for a denier. They are engaging the information on some level. It’s those who can’t “hear” what is being said–literally–that are the strangest. They look at you with a blank, open stare. They may stop momentarily as if listening as you speak an unknown language then they continue on with unrelated subjects while stringing together news topics as if it all means something. Attempting to lay that bag of snakes out in a line is futile. They simple can not hear you speaking.
Hi James,
My wife is a long time subscriber to the New Yorker. So like it or not, I end up looking through it every week, simply because it’s there on my kitchen table. On the cover of the latest edition, is an illustration (a split screen) of Hillary being sworn in by her husband and then below it is Trump being sworn in by Putin. I was shocked at the blatant display of propaganda and tried to explain it to my wife, who by now turns a deaf ear to all my political insights. Yes, she is another middle aged american woman who decided long ago that she will vote for Hillary simply because “it’s time for a woman to be president”. I can’t convince her, no matter how much evidence I show of how evil and corrupt Hitlery really is. And like most of her friends she has already made up her mind about it and will ignore even the most obvious signs of corruption that might complicate her world view. My own political position is that I will no longer vote for the lesser of two evils. My wife is appalled at this. How can I just sit by and let Trump possibly win? (I haven’t voted for president since Bush v. Kerry and now I feel foolish for even doing that.) During the Obama selection cycles I saw many of my liberal and minority friends become totally offended by my views, even though I am not republican or racist in anyway. This time it’s not only the liberals and minorities but also my female and gay friends who are totally offended when I try to explain my views. I love my wife and have no desire to stir up any disharmony in my home over the phony presidential reality show. And her opinion about this one is very strong. So I will suck it up and try not to be too freaked out when Hitlery takes the reigns of power and plunges us further down the road to total fascism. Anyway, I wonder how many of your viewers/listeners are having a similar experience.
i was on a fb page where people (mostly women) were saying the same thing “its time for a female president”.
i politely asked how having a vagina made her the best person for the job, and got all sorts of backlash over it.
i politely asked again “how does one’s genitalia make them a good candidate for president? shouldnt it be more about the best person for the job? ”
my posts got deleted and i copped a bit of hate for it.
the point i was trying to make was completely lost on them all, it didnt go down well. :/
