No Cars or Property?
Now the WEF want to take away our cars. Tell them to shove off. This cult needs to be shut down.
A proposed universal model would take vehicle users “from owning to using” vehicles as the way to move forward to protect the planet.
The WEF paper uses the statistic the average car in England is only used 4% of the time, so it would be easy to share vehicles with other people.
According to the WEF, it is time to sell your car that just sits there not getting used and walking or sharing vehicles because “car sharing platforms such as Getaround and BlueSG have already seized that opportunity to offer vehicles where you pay per hour used.”
To save the planet, the end of private ownership is required and applies to everything, including cars, private homes, and even “city-wide design principles.”

Revenge - Review of the Book by Tom Bower
I'm listening to the book Revenge, by Tom Bower. It tells the story of how Prince Harry became engaged and then married Meghan Markle. It is a good story, but doesn't contain any startling revelations. What Bower does is confirm many of the rumours, and puts events in chronological order.
What I'm finding from other people's reactions, is a lot of hate being directed at Meghan Markle. I don't form that opinion. My initial reaction to her is confirmed with this book. She's someone trying to get ahead, make some dosh, get well known. She wants stardom, but more importantly, she wants money.
Meghan Markle is clearly industrious and resourceful, even clever. Her website, followers on Instagram, becoming the face of certain labels, and being paid rather large sums to play a role on a cable TV legal drama are testament to that. Good for her.
But then comes my criticism. Two things stand out for me; the first being she's not staggeringly good looking. Rather, she's someone average who puts in a lot of effort. Most Hollywood stars are gorgeous. Maybe Meghan is better suited to politics, after all politics is called Hollywood for ugly people.
Then the second thing that stands out is she can't act. She is not talented. You'd expect her to be at least competent given the amount of experience she's had, but I just don't see it. This comes across in the book, in a way it is easy to see people do not immediately embrace her for being talented.
Is she suited to being a royal? Excuse the pun, but no she's not. Why was she not thoroughly vetted, how come she only had her mother Doria at the wedding, what about her early years and the rumours around her background in Los Angeles? All these questions needed to be investigated by the Palace.
I reserve my biggest criticism for Prince Harry. What a plonker. The best he could do right now would be to destroy his cellphone, get himself to the nearest airport and get on the first plane to London. Don't tell anyone he's leaving, just leave. And when back in England, see his father and say to his Dad, he needs help.
I'm interested in your thoughts, please comment below.
[ Side note: I detect errors, the narrator clearly has Meghan growing up in Woodward Hills, near Bell Canyon. That should be Woodland Hills. I haven't seen the print, possibly the narrator spoke incorrectly, but if Woodward Hills is printed then I'm unimpressed, such details need to be correct]

Dr Deborah Birx and those Lockdowns, Social Distancing
The truth is emerging, slowly.
As Fox News' Jesse Waters lays out, Birx admitted in her new book that she and Dr. Anthony Fauci were essentially shooting from the hip when it came to national directives such as "two weeks to stop the spread," and social distancing requirements.
According to Waters, Birx "admitted to making things up," adding that she and Fauci "were lying to the president and to the American people about their COVID protocols."
With the first lie; '15 days to stop the spread' - Birx writes "No sooner had we convinced the Trump administration to implement our version of the two-week shutdown than I was trying to figure out how to extend it.
And here, Birx admits she knew the jab would not prevent infection:
But the White House coronavirus response coordinator at the time the vaccines were developed and rolled out said in an interview Friday she wasn't surprised that people who were quadruple vaccinated, including Biden and Dr. Anthony Fauci, contracted the disease.
"I knew these vaccines were not going to protect against infection and I think we overplayed the vaccines," Birx told the Fox News Channel's Neil Cavuto.

South Africa's Collapse Imminent?
Epstein-Maxwell Trafficking Ring
Here's a really good article outlining what was possibly going on with the Jeffrey Eptein/Ghislaine Maxwell operation. The writer has gone to the trouble of referencing his claims.
Philip Giraldi, a former CIA counter-terrorism specialist, said that he also has “little doubt that Epstein was running an intelligence operation, and that his knowledge [for years] helped him escape justice. There is no other viable explanation for his filming of prominent politicians and celebrities having sex with young girls.”

Shinzo Abe Assassinated
Respected former Japanese prime minister, Shinzo Abe has been shot in the city of Nara, Japan. He was there campaigning for an LDP candidate for Japan's upper house - the House of Councillors.
I just hope that the gunman is not associated with North Korea or China, otherwise this is the shot that could be heard around the world.

Utopian Energy: Wasted 20 Years
Its never too late to learn:
Utopian energy is an imagined form of energy that’s abundant, reliable, inexpensive, and also clean, renewable, and life-sustaining. But utopian energy is as much a fantasy as a utopian society. Seeking the fount of perfect energy allows us to pretend there aren’t real-world tradeoffs between, say, banning fossil fuels and helping people in impoverished nations or between using solar and wind power and conserving natural habitats.
