    The Galloway interview is most interesting

    Check out Scott Ritter above.
    It’s mind blowing.
    Are we really going to arm jihadis… in Europe? FMD.
    And that ‘we’ includes Australia.

    Coles to pilot BYO container system
    Jun 4, 2021

    Coles customers shopping at the retailer’s Fitzroy supermarket in Melbourne next week will be able to take their own containers and fill them with washing detergent, face wash, shampoo, coffee and even olive oil.

    While health and safety rules dictate that customers still can’t use their own containers at the deli, Coles is testing a BYO container system for select ‘scoop and weigh’ products as part of its quest to cut down on plastic packaging and reduce waste sent to landfill.

  7. For a while, Monash council has been encouraging us to not just put leaves and twigs in our green bin, but also food scraps, both vegetable and animal. Now we’ve been told that later this year or weekly collection shall switch to the green bin, with the other two bins (yellow for all recycling, red for general landfill) alternating fortnightly.

    I guess we are not the first and the council is only reacting to dictates from the Victorian government.

    So Tulsi Gabbard the spokesperson for the World Economic Forum now ADMITS the US military arm of the globalists have 30 Bio-labs in Ukraine, 300+ bio-labs around the world along with 900+ military bases.
    Tulsi, why is there a need for 30 bio-labs in Ukraine alone, right on Russia’s border?
    Remember 45 said the term CHYNA… Look up CHYNAdiyovo, Ukraine. It’s a big deal…
    The deep state (World Economic Forum) released something there that shut down the planet!
    Russia is taking these labs out like they took out ISIS.
    Military strategists have already admitted that Russia is using the same approach as they did in SYRIA where the ISIS caliphate was destroyed… Popcorn anyone?

    *”3 tonnes of plastic waste per annum”.

    Pure virtue signalling.

    From previous, they’re finding e.g. species of shrimp moving to new habitats they never occupied before using floating plastic garbage as an artificial reef: Leftoids “invasive species”.

    Call me an optimist, but I’ve always believed Trump knew The Swamp was Global.
    That he beat the DC Swamp AND it’s International Backers in the first place was either a dumb luck miracle or the result of very long term, very careful planning.

    A stint of not screwing over those he’d gained the trust of before becoming POTUS, after he got the keys to the White House, would have only worked to strengthen the bonds he’d made as a civilian with those who shared a Global Swamp Draining vision.

    In the mean time, Swamp Creatures around the world exposed themselves to the good people of their own Nations by celebrating ‘The Steal’ like cackling witches & thuggish monsters who no longer hide the fact that they are coming after everything we own and our children.

    ‘If the US is all about transparency, provide us with relevant data to draw a conclusion‘

    Mar 12, 2022

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tPk3RpOenk

    China called on the United States to prove that Russia’s biological claims were fake.

    Zhang Jun, Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations, made the request during a United Nations Security Council meeting in New York on Friday.

    The Biden administration and Ukraine’s leader reject Russian accusations that Ukraine is running chemical and biological labs with U.S. support.

    Jun said the U.S. should prove this by allowing for “multilateral verification” and producing “relevant data and provide clarification.”

    Steve, when I was growing up quite a few people had a veggie patch and/or fruit trees in their backyards. But, it was an is a hobby, not a viable food source. Peasant farmers have always been desperately poor, and that’s not going to change.

    Nowadays a lot of people live in places without a backyard, and growing a few micro herbs on your window sill is not going to feed anyone except a mouse.

    By all means, grow some veggies/fruit if you enjoy doing it. But, it has nothing to do with the reality of feeding the masses.

    Nobody in Australia has dropped the mandates etc.

    Even though we have elections coming up, the Uniparty can’t lose – so the people will lose instead.

    All the emergency legislation is still in place and it is very unlikely to be removed. They have sold out the country to the globalists so we won’t be voting our way out of this.
