    New CO2 monitoring credit card enables tracking of ‘carbon footprint

    《Get ready for a Chinese-style social credit system scoring when it comes to your personal spending habits and how they impact “climate change.” A new credit card called Doconomy, has launched that is “working in tight collaboration with Mastercard” and an alliance with the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is now available so you can monitor your personal CO2 budget on every purchase you make.

    The new CO2 monitoring Mastercard called Doconomy debuted in order to enable “all users to track, measure and understand their impact by presenting their carbon footprint on every purchase.” The credit cards feature the slogan on them reading “DO. Everyday Climate Action” and have a personal pledge on the rear of the card boasting: “I am taking responsibility for every transaction I make to help protect the planet.” The Mastercards feature the UN “Global Climate Action” logo on them as well.

    The World Economic Forum praised Doconomy. “While many of us are aware that we need to reduce our carbon footprint, advice on doing so can seem nebulous and keeping a tab is difficult. DO monitors and cuts off spending, when we hit our carbon max,” the World Economic Forum wrote on the Doconomy CO2 monitoring website.》

    Good work by VicPol. They have surrounded and now removed all of the protester morons at the Shrine of Remembrance.

    I think Grigory it doesn’t hurt to ask why there is such anger, and not just label folk as morons.  It may not be just because of the forced vaccine, but other issues all mixed in – economic and social etc. The world is more stressful if you are under-employed and feeling put upon.

    One way to find out is to talk to people but Dan Andrews does not believe in conciliation, the old Labor values. Get the police and shoot them is his idea.

    He is after all a very wealthy chap,  very well placed in life and nice family around him.  What others may be experiencing in their lives is not something he can comprehend perhaps.  He can’t therefore see them as fellow human beings entitled to opinions and choices.

    Interesting, that when the left protest and cause conflict, the call goes out to understand their issues and accomodate their views.

    Not so, for normal people apparently.

    NEVER did I think that in Australia anyone, let alone Vic Police, would ever point & fire a weapon in the direction of Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance. Dictator Dan MUST GO as buck stops with him. Firing of weapons in direction of an ANZAC Memorial is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.

    I keep hearing this on talkback radio:
    Can’t blame the police. They are just doing their job. They are following orders.

    If the police are prepared to blindly follow the orders they have been following, they have lost their moral compass. They are responsible for their actions along with those issuing the orders.

    Wuhan scientists planned to release coronaviruses into cave bats 18 months before outbreak

    《New documents show that just 18 months before the first Covid-19 cases appeared, researchers had submitted plans to release skin-penetrating nanoparticles containing “novel chimeric spike proteins” of bat coronaviruses into cave bats in Yunnan, China.

    They also planned to create chimeric viruses, genetically enhanced to infect humans more easily, and requested $14million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) to fund the work.

    Papers, confirmed as genuine by a former member of the Trump administration, show they were hoping to introduce “human-specific cleavage sites” to bat coronaviruses which would make it easier for the virus to enter human cells. 》

    The sweeping plains of Wyoming, Big Boy 4014, bison and a sprinting antelope…if you look closely. Excellent capture with the drone.

    The music worked a treat with this visual perspective. 4:11

    Watch the Big Boy start a buffalo (bison) stampede and also race an antelope as it returns to WY.

    Congratulations Monica Smit on your historic Vic Supreme Court win against Vic Police.

    It was outrageous for Vic Police to try to impose unreasonable & undemocratic bail conditions that kept Monica a political prisoner.

    A win for JUSTICE

    A Supreme Court judge has rejected several bail conditions sought by Victoria Police to control the behaviour of anti-lockdown activist Monica Smit, labelling some unnecessary, disproportionate and without utility.

    That is demonstrably not true, indeed I posted on a decades long mistrust of Victoria’s police a year ago but don’t let the facts get in the way of your invented truth – just because you say it is so does not make it so. Drongos pushing an agenda don’t observe objectivity though – I know, I know.

     

    Don’t blame me for not wishing to be part of your gang. The biggest problem in Victoria is the voters who keep clamouring for more – they have voted for Andrews for two decades, twice as Premier most recently. What did they think would happen?

     

    He’s a good show to get up again next year. 😁

     

    The site has degenerated to a handful of habitual posters in furious agreement, declaring each others posts “superb” so I see at the other spot – hilarious! – a couple of echo chambers.

    The rabble of lower class scum who so disgust Mick from the cultural plastic vacuum of chain stores, were corralled at the shrine by police who chased them there after opening fire on them without provocation.

    As the protesters were peaceful and picking up their own rubbish while there and ensuring not one threw anything at police the storm troopers knew they were in a pickle as there were independent journalists live streaming.

    In a shocking display of dishonesty the police to the right of the protesters dropped a knee as they did for the BLM.

    This fooled the protesters who were overjoyed and ran toward them with glee.

    The stasi then moved forward at the front.

    There was a stand off for hours as the police were being filmed and needed to respond to violence that never came.

    Eventually they said they would let the protesters go if they left in small groups toward St Kilda rd.

    Those that did were arrested.

    All was still peaceful so once enough had left they attacked needing vision of “violece” they provoked as soon as the independent media left for use by the MSM.

    Of course these protesters don’t pronounce their vowels correctly for Mick and therefore have no hope in bringing in change.

    Compliance with good diction is the only way out of this says safari suit Mick.

    Mick you didn’t watch the footage?

    Seemed to me like there were a lot of young people, and workers and Topher Field (now not so young)  was definitely there.

    And who do you claim was handing out those mythical $50 bills before dismissing the lot of them as people of no worth?.

    Seems like there was unanimous condemnation of Vic police over at Dover’s btw .

    These ‘hobos’ are  only people making a very public stand against Andrew’s tyranny and getting Victoria’s police state the world wide attention it deserves.
