Friday morning, new episode! TheESP – Ep. #482 – On the Highway of Misinformation theesp.eu/podcast_arch...

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

May I suggest each one of us asks our local Federal MP this blunt question. 'Are you going to vote to sack the #Corruption Commission for failing to charge the Ministers of #Morrison Govt who created. #Robodebt for their crimes?' People died as result of their actions.

No energy source in 10,000 years of human history has scaled like solar. From 100 to 2,000 TWh in just 11 years—faster than coal, oil, nuclear, or wind. This isn’t just exponential growth—it’s a civilizational phase shift. The fastest, cleanest energy transition ever. ⚡☀️ #Solar #EnergyTransformation

Lasers were a huge scientific breakthrough and now we use them to play with cats. Computers were also a huge scientific breakthrough and now we use them to look at pictures of cats. In other words, science was made for cats.

This may save millions of lives--except in the US, where ignorant kook Robert Kennedy Jr will probably ban it because of some ridiculous, totally made-up reason.

Suggesting Capitalism is going to cure poverty is like suggesting Cancer is going to cure Cancer.

This place is a pressure cooker. You know they are actually killing the planet? Truth is whatever you want it to be. Facts aren’t even facts anymore. A few folks have enough resources to fix all the problems for the rest, but they won’t. Because their greatest fear is having less. Guinan

#AUKUS is not in the national interest and most certainly entails a loss of sovereignty And given that we now have a very erratic US President who is upending international norms, it’s clear that the AUKUS project is under a cloud.” ~Bob Carr #Auspol #Aukus warpowersreform.org.au/zero-transpa...
