Global heating same as 5 Hiroshima atom bombs per second

How can you possibly take the UN and its International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) seriously when it's most senior members make such ludicrous claims?

We have 20 or 30 years of doom and gloom scenarios that have never eventuated from global warming fanatics.

Anyone who has done some serious research knows that the whole global warming deception has an agenda that has nothing to do with saving our beautiful planet.

The real agenda is dismantling the Western World, transferring billions in funding to failed states like the many in Africa, and eventually installing a One World Government run by - you guessed it - the UN.

While this all seems wonderful, the style of government being totalitarian socialist/communist, would mean giving up our freedoms, no democracy and doing what our masters dictated when, where and how.

There have been plenty of communist governments in the past and all have a penchant for killing off people who disapprove of their methods eg, Cambodia under PolPot. More recently, the Turkish Government under Erdogan imprisons journalists and dissenters and of course the United Soviet Socialist Republic of old was infamous for its gulags (concentration camps) and killing off millions of its non-compliant citizens. China is a modern-day example having placed thousands of its moslem citizens in detention camps for "reeducation". I'm no fan of moslems or Islam, but if it's moslems this week, next week it could be catholics, or whites, or anyone else who is deemed unsuitable.

Any government that imprisons people for free speech and kills off its citizens isn't a government I want to live under. Do you?

It's not only their alternative agenda, which you can read about here and here, but there are also other agreements such as the Lima Declaration. The latter is intended to kill off our industries to help other countries become wealthy.

Believe it or not, our politicians have bound Australia to both Agenda 2030 and the Lima Declaration. Neither is in our interest nor were we asked if we wanted to sign up for the destruction of our country.

On a different matter and getting back to the moron whose photo is above, here is Dr Roy Spencer's teams February, 2020 update of the gradual warming that has occurred since 1979.

It's gone UP 0.76 degrees C in that time and will probably drop with the current solar minimum 25 which is cooling our planet.

Don't take my word for any of this, get off your arse, stop searching Tinder and do your own research.

Why I get Pissed Off!





I'm a reasonably laid-back, happy person and few things ruffle my feathers.

But this one thing really pisses me off. It's the double whammy of taxes on insurance policies of which I have:

  1. Motor vehicle insurance (not third-party compulsory)
  2. House and contents insurance
  3. House and landlord's insurance
When the Goods and Services Tax was introduced in Australia, I totally agreed with the concept as it is a user-pays tax. I'm all for user pays - don't buy it, you don't get taxed.

The Howard Government that introduced it guaranteed us that a range of other state and federal taxes would be abolished. Many were.

But state and territory stamp duty wasn't abolished on insurance policies while GST was added. Immediately, all insurance policies cost 10% more. 

If it wasn't bad enough to be paying stamp duty for governments to squander money, now we have to pay stamp duty AND GST.

In the clip above you can see that my premium is: $539.54

I choose to use a Broker so I pay: $98.26 in fees and commission (insurance underwriters get a trailing commission!) I could save $48.26 (plus the GST component) by dealing direct with the underwriters. Next year.

Taxes

Stamp Duty is $53.41 that goes to the Queensland Government
GST is $63.79 that goes to the Australian Government

The GST charged INCLUDES the stamp duty and all brokerage and commission costs. That means we pay GST on stamp duty - that's what pisses me off.

I'm not against paying tax, but I think this is grossly unfair.

What do you think?

I asked and someone answered - why toilet paper hysteria?

Every so often, I think I'm surrounded by complete morons and the only one with half a brain is me. 

One person's collection
In Australia a mass stampede of irrational dullards and others in the lowest percentiles of their classes has been created by the COVID-19 virus. It's NOT a gastrointestinal virus, but never mind, hundreds, possibly thousands of the aforementioned have rushed off to overstock on toilet paper.

It seems that a couple of people were seen by the media buying toilet paper and mentioned they wanted to be prepared for confinement during the coronavirus outbreak. The news hit the TV and ignited the stampede.

With that and other stupid things that are happening eg, the Professor who said we should all kill ourselves so the world would be a better place (perhaps she should have led by example), and the imams in Indonesia who said that the coronavirus was allah's revenge for people eating pork, although there are probably hundreds of inflicted who haven't eaten pork, I wanted to know how mass hysteria occurs.

My question was answered by someone smarter than me:

Now, I'm worried about running out of toilet paper, as to buy it might mean people thinking I'm one of the intellectually vacant buying it to prepare for a virus.
