  6. So the bloke who blanketed the world with 30,000 satellites to saturate the surface with 5G comms and flogs something called “Neural Link” is now the champion of free speech…..is is just me?

    Musk quote “You can tell it’s real cos it looks so fake”. Read – my CGI beats even NASA’s.

    This blokes pants are perpetually on fire and his evil is inter-generational going back to Grandpa who was exiled from Canada post WW2 for his technocratic mambo jumbo. His father was just a disgusting FVCK of monumental proportions.

    Musk is one of them if not the worst of them. The timing is impeccable as DHS floats their ministry of thought to offset this deadly threat. Everything happens for a reason.

    The Conservatives have held their ground with the same values. So have those on the centre-left (like Musk). But the wokerati have dragged the left further off, and this has woken up some lefties to the madness on their side.

    Kaysee, run it through this rubrik

    Ragu, I can see some benefits to that site. It has an easy access to the list of candidates. But, it also requires research, depending on the electorate. For example, the North Sydney one has non-majors like Climate200, and majors like fake Liberals. And a minor party that is also fake Liberals.

    I had to check up on some of the parties and candidates to understand who they were and what they stood for.

    In 2019, there was a site where you selected your electorate and it gave you the list of Conservative candidates. I have been trying to trace it – not sure if it will be available for this election.

    Israel Dumps The Dollar For China’s Renminbi, Beijing Starts Quietly Acquiring Russian Energy Assets
    April 21

    If the picture hasn’t come into focus, it soon will – even for most people that aren’t paying attention yet.

    China and Russia continue on a cooperative path together: doing business together, backing their currencies with tangible commodities and, as I wrote just days ago, we’re in the process of watching the dollar become dethroned as the global reserve currency. We just don’t notice it yet.

    The next prediction I have, that hasn’t yet taken place, is that China will back its digital currency with gold. I’ve predicted this since August of 2021, long before the current macro picture has emerged. Now, my convictions are even stronger.

    I thought Ricardo Bosi and his AustraliaOne party would be running in this year’s Federal Election. I was looking through the party list in the PutMajorsLast website and I couldn’t find him or his party.

    Does anyone know what happened? He was organising rallies and giving speeches. He appeared on web-based shows with others.

    I came across this site:

    Far-right conspiracy theorist Riccardo Bosi has failed to register his “political party” despite more than two-and-a-half years of promises, and has now almost certainly run out of time to do so before the Federal Election.

    Bosi is one of the most well-known extremist, “right-wing”, conspiracy theorists involved in demonstrations that have been held in parts of Australia, including in Canberra, where Bosi last month gave a bizarre address wearing military regalia.

    Wasn’t sure if you had seen THIS ONE of Tom’s—-

    Tahri
    Energetic Productions

    1988 lecture about Russian Directed Energy weapons, given at the World Trade Center of all places.

    This video includes clips added by Mr. Bearden himself at some point in 2010, long before he passed away.

    This is a miracle and a half to get confirmation on pretty much everything I discovered ON MY OWN since 2011. He even has HAARP RINGS in the video but calls them “RADAR pulses”!

    Listen to the parts about Ukraine and Russia, about nuclear reactors and earthquakes. About Scalar and Cancer. About the US Embassies being attacked with EMF radio wave devices, about Russia having cures to viruses using radio waves. Making ‘viruses’ also with the same technique.

    This is a magnum opus of Lt. Col Bearden. The fact that it was just sent to me after he passed away , I feel obligated to carry the torch on this.

    I will be uploading everywhere.
    ________

    His website is now gone. I don’t know why.

    This video from Mr. Bearden was made from 1988 to 2010 — this proves EVERYTHING I FOUND! And it was all made before I ever made my first video!!!!

    My first youtube video made at the end of 2010 going into 2011. I have never seen this video before today, or anything similar.

    I will attempt to purchase all his material, copies of each DVD that they have, and will see if I can get links for them on sale or if they have copies for us to purchase!!

    There were some poor decisions while he was in office, to employ or retain people who were traitors. Now, for the mid-terms, he has been endorsing some candidates who are not Conservative, and even those who have undermined him or the party.

    He is a patriot who has been good for the US (and the world), and made a good effort to drain the swamp. But there is some factor that is adversely affecting his judgement.
