“If you ask me, communities and countries should always make sure they remain in control of all their basic necessities”
As you well know, the Egyptians cannot export their massive horticultural potential to Europe – tomatoes, onions, new potatoes, lettuce, flowers, cucumbers etc. – as that would put out of business many of the farmers of southern Europe (who depend on cheap illegal migrants from Africa to grow the stuff) and the Netherlands. Egypt is an open-air glasshouse that needs no gas for heating.
On the other hand, you wll find that Greek, Italian and Spanish tinned vegetables dominant in much of Africa. That is outrageous. Not only do they prevent Africans from exporting, but they destroy any indigent attempts to move up the food chain.
Common Agricultural Policy is another of the things that is encouraging illegal migration to Europe. People cannot earn a living in their own country because of this malevolent policy.
“simply for looking for a better life”
Sorry Ilargi, you have got it totally wrong.
We are in a world of limited civilisation and resources . Yes, civilisation is a rare resource just like any other. These people are coming either because their homelands have been destroyed by Western/Zionist meddling or because they have been breeding like bacteria and find the lure of civilisation and socialism irresistable. Take away the bombings and their “benefits” and almost all of them would return home.
When you let them in as they have done in Germany and give them money for staying at home and breeding, you are dismantling your civilisation. Sadly, Europeans go from one extreme to the other and it is only a matter of time before they will be dumping them wholesale on places like North Africa – even if they come from Afghanistan. It is awfully predictable.
“The American revolution was not. It was a coup. The proletariat did not overthrow the elites, the elites overthrew the elites. George Washington was the richest man in America, by way of land speculatio”
Arttua,
It is best to let the Americans keep on dreaming. Reality is too harsh. I suspect lots of people have yet to visit Mount Vernon – or look in a DC phone book for names starting with the letter “W”
It seems the missing boys in a Thai cave have been found. Now, they are trying to work out how to get them out. That cheered me up a lot. People can last quite a long time without food if it is warm – provided they have water.
“Shocking state of trapped boys’ Thai cave: Australian police divers battle ‘challenging’ conditions
AUSTRALIAN Federal Police have revealed the horrendous conditions they’re facing as they work to free 12 missing boys and their soccer coach from an underground cave. ”
From tomorrow, one-trip plastic bags will be banned in much of Australia. Personally, I think it is just more virtue-signalling. Believe it or not, plastic is made from things that we get out of the earth – just like paper and hemp. What happens to some turtles and so on is criminal – and the same would happen with a lot of other things – such as discarded fishing nets and tackle.
I note that our friend V. Arnold goes shopping in a SUV – and in Thailand at that. The land of the famous tuk-tuks. 🙂
VisionHawk,
Just preventing companies from buying back their stock would do wonders. Preventing the Fed from setting fake interest rates is another thing that needs to be done.
Your idea might work on a – very – local level but it cannot be scaled up. It is a fantasy. One in 10 males is a psychopath and one in 100 women. They would disrupt your idea in no time once they could hide their activities. You cannot keep tabs on everyone.
Melbourne shivers through coldest June day in 25 years
I am really glad I got out of Melbourne and moved to Cairns. Of course, this piece of information is a “one off” I expect there will be an awful lot of “one offs” this Winter in Europe, Russia, China and North America.
BTW, it seems there is an active volcano under the “melting” part of West Antartica.
The funny thing is the guys who “discovered” it were on a mission to prove that “the End is Night” They were the very same people who won’t release their data on alleged Global Warming – the University of East Anglia. The ones who faked their conclusions and would not let anyone look at their data.
Volcanic heat source discovered under Pine Island Glacier, the poster child for Antarctic melting
Life is full of funny stories. It is a shame so many poor people must suffer unneeded hardship just so that these people can keep their jobs.
Thank you for a dose of common-sense.
The question now arises as to whom exactly has engineered this catastrophe? Who hoped/hopes to gain from it?
From my perspective that question has a very simple answer – those who control the media and the political elites in the West. Let’s stop beating about the bush, who is it who is financing Trump’s mid-term elections? Who is it who got Macron his job? and Hollande’s before him? Who is it who is demonising Putin and Corbyn? Who really did 9/11 and an untold number of other false-flag events?
What the lying controlled media is not telling you. I did a search of Google News and it was not there
Bad weather in the South: so much SNOW on Etna, Catania in the cold and under water. Welcome back, Winter! (25 June 2018) Translated from Italian by Google
Dr D,
Funnily enough these “allies” of the USA do not include Israel. Everone connected in any way with the Middle East knows full well that the Israelis – and their new-Trotskyist friends – control US foreign policy in this region.
Here is an article explaining how Israel is bombing the forces aligned against ISIS in EASTERN Syria – on the border with Iraq. It is obvious that ISIS and Israel are one and the same thing in all but name.
Here is the Israeli version. I like the way they put ‘Fighting ISIS’ in quotes. If they were not fighting ISIS, then who exactly are they fighting?
Iraq Blasts Alleged Israeli Air Strike in Syria on Forces ‘Fighting ISIS’
Everything that comes out of Israel is a lie. It is part of the Zionist culture.
Here are some beautiful pictures showing how the lake in the centre of Australia is once again full of water. It is a timely reminder of how climate is cyclical. Of course, the warmists told us for years that this natural life-giving miracle will never happen again. There are creatures that have evolved to survive multi-year droughts by remaining in a sort or coma. Now, they have sprung back to life and are busy procreating. The fact these creatures exist at all is the ultimate proof that this process has gone on for millions of years.
I think it should be “Nothing illegal in. Problem solved” 🙂
There are countries in Africa with 4+% annual population growth. Cairo had 4 million people when I was born there and now it is perhaps 25 million.
When Nixon went to China, he started criticising the Chinese and their one-child policy. Chou en Lai – Zhou Enlai – asked him how many Chinese would he take? That put an end to the sermonising. If you want more illegal immigrants, invite some to stay with you.
Correction:
I should have written “ocean currents and winds disperse it away from the tropics”
The water moves an awful lot more heat than air.
Patricia and V Arnold,
Here, at -17 degree latitude, it has been a cool start to “Winter” – with temperatures well below normal.
The government-owned ABC.net.au has been reporting it tangentially. Instead of outright admitting that their multitudinous fake stories about record high temperatures are false, they are reporting cold weather while not pointing out that records are being broken to the downside. The whole thing is just such an obvious scam.
Frozen knees and numb fingers: A photographer’s pain to capture the perfect frosty morning
The earth gets much of its heat from the tropics and the winds disperse it away from the tropics. It will be interesting to see what sort of Winter Europe and North America will get. If I were a gas speculator, now is perhaps a good time to buy options for next January and Febrruary in the UK – where their storage capacity is much diminished.
Water is definitely going to be the cause of new wars. Israel has repeatedly invaded and occupied Southern Lebanon for that very reason – and been kicked out a similar number of times.

How exactly is India going to be such an economic powerhouse in the future when their population is exploding and their water tables are dropping fast? I suspect the smart Indians will make a move for the West – which they have been doing for quite a long time now.
“This was likewise done in the West with ink pens, now long forgotten.”
So true. I had an English school friend 55 years ago who spent all his spare time perfecting his Gothic Script. He would write something in a circular spiral or a square spiral and the last word would be in the very centre.
He was born in Hong Kong and lived there for his first 12 years. Recently, I found him of LinkedIn and he was chairman of the Kent County Cricket Club. I am sure neither his kids or grandkids have any idea as to how to hold a pen.

Happily, in Iran, they still appreciate these skills and calligraphy there never died out. Here are some nice examples:

The very first one – blue top left – is the word “Love” (Ishq) in large with a multitude of little “Loves” below. Amazing penmanship.
Many parts of Australia are having an unusually cold winter – and the MSM is in denial.
In the low hills nearby, there has been frost – at 20 degrees from the equator.

SYDNEY is coping the worst of the freezing weather lashing towns and cities along Australia’s east — and the bad news is it’s going to get even colder.
I suspect the Northern Hemisphere is going to get a winter to remember in due course. It all ties in with solar inactivity – as does volcanic activity BTW.
“The real number is much higher.” (than 34,361)
Losses in Syria are around 600,000 and in Iraq 1,000,000+. In Yemen, it will be in the millions before the West gets its way.
In Sub-Saharan Africa, there are 100 million unrecorded births. Guess how many Africans watch TV and would love to move to Europe? The French football team seems to be dominated by Africans. What a farce!

So how many of these guys, and gals, are going to be writing software, designing cars, selling cosmetics and insurance in order to pay the pensons of French guys of my age?
After the wonderful Impressionist paintings that we had here, Hopper et al. are a bit of a letdown IMHO. There are many “graphic artists” today who produce similar stuff – and no one pays them much attention. Andy Warhol was an extreme example of that genre.
I cannot help thinking that if it were not for active purchasing by the CIA of modern art by American artists – and the constant plugging of how “wonderful” they were by the paid-for media, their prices today would not be a fraction of what they are. I think a similar process is going on with Bitcoin and its cousins. These guys make more off-budget than one could ever imagine. They control the levers and can push peoples’ expectations in any direction they wish.
The CIA considered culture and art to be a part of Cold War I. There is plenty written about it, if you care to look.
“Modern art was CIA ‘weapon’

“Fewer people sought asylum in the European Union last year”
A big “thank you” to Russia, Iran and the Hezbollah. By saving Syria, they have given hope to the Iraqis, Iranians and Afghanistanis. The numbers bear this out.
Instead, the Zionist-controlled media is lashing out at all attempts to prevent this invasion from the 3rd world – especially countries destroyed by these self-same Zionists.
oxymoron and Dr D. Spot on.
I have been saying this stuff for years and have probably lost some friends as a consequence. Others, take me for an old crank.
A couple of French kids are staying in this airbnb. They go to elite universities – École Polytechnique and Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussees. Both studying engineering. They told me last night that they voted for Macron – because they could not possibly vote for Marine Le Pen. I told them that they have to vote for people who stop immigration from the 3rd world to France and who start sending these guys back. I said that by the time they get to my age, France will be African – and I am glad that I won’t be around to see it.
You should have seen their faces fall. They understood the logic of my argument but they were so indoctinated by the neo-Trotskyists who are running the media and who control the political classes of France, UK, US, Israel etc. that they could not handle it. To get to an elite school, you have to pretend to believe the BS that is hitting you every day. If you show the slightest sign of independent thought, you are out in the cold.
Tonight, I am proposing to show them a detailed picture of a gigantic beam travelling sideways at high speed from one of the 3 buildings of 9/11 and to ask them to explain to me where the energy came from. Newton’s Laws of Motion were suspended on that day according to the 9/11 “investigation”
It is fun to watch smart people squirming. Call me a sadist. 🙂
“Antarctic Ice Melting Faster Than Ever”
This is yellow journalism at its best. Quoting so many billion tons of ice is highly misleading. One cubic kilometer of water is one gigaton. Big deal! The Antarctic holds trillions of tons of ice.
Why don’t they tell us how many liters of water has melted?
How come the article fails to mention that there are active volcanoes precisely under the areas where the melting is taking place? This is pure malicious propaganda
“After half a billion million years of climate change, I’m shocked, shocked I tell you, that life on Earth (and specifically corals) have so many ways to cope with the climate changing. After all, it’s natural (if you are trained by Greenpeace) to assume that corals can only survive in a world with one constant stable temperature just like they never had.”
Corals use epigenetic tricks to adapt to warmer and “more acidic” water
The hubris exhibited by the fake scientists who warn us that the Great Barrier Reef is on the brink of extinction is mind-boggling. Just like for humans, information is transmitted down generations and some genes get switched on and others get switched off. The GBR will be just as big as it currently is when humans are no longer around in their present form.
Here is an article from 2 years ago. They have gone silent since then – as the GBR is recovering well from the normal “bleaching” phenomenon. It has happened zillions of times before and was caused by a drop in sea-level.
V. Arnold,
We have huge fruit bats by the hundred hanging from ancient trees next to the Cairns Library – in the very centre of town. Apparently, they can travel more than 50km at night to feed.

“Canada has …”
zerosum,
I was talking to a couple of charming Canadian sisters last night – both from near Waterloo, Ontario. One is at university and the other working as a teacher for disabled children. They told me that a lot of “rich Indians” had “bought” a lot of houses in their area and had pushed up property prices to an extreme level. Neither of them believe that they will ever be able to own a house of their own – like their parents.
I pointed out that the “Indians” were borrowing money to an extreme level and that should house prices drop or interest rates rise, they will just go back to India and leave the banks to sort out their mess. They did that in Dubai a few years ago. It is so easy for Indians to get fake ID’s, qualifications and passports that they can play this game a multiple of times. I suspect that if Inidan “doctors” in the West were given proper exams, a great many would fail. The worst of the lost are the very highly sought-after and paid psychiatrists. They are on a specialist grade and don’t have to do any medical procedures. One could learn to pretend to be a “psychiatrist” after a few weeks of training. Easy.
“The US special operations soldier who was killed in Somalia (one of the “seven countries in five years” famously named in General Wesley Clark’s revelation of the US war machine’s plans for world domination) and the four others who were injured are not heroes.”
Here is some antidote to the Hollywood and MSM crap:
When Private Ryan is shamed by quiet heroes in the Syrian Arab Army (Vanessa Beeley)
Brilliant. Thank you.
As VietnamVet pointed out, he is the only one with his own wealth and financial power-base. The others are mere lapdogs of others.
Dr D,
I also saw that article by Martin Armstrong. The historical evidence about climate is overwhelming. Humans grossly overestimate their importance in that matter – like in so many others. Nature will take care of it in due course – hopefully long after I am gone. 🙂
“Factories and farming remove as much nitrogen from the atmosphere as all of Earth’s natural processes”
Oh dear, we are about to run out of nitrogen – 78% of atmosphere. I love this doomporn. 🙂
Here are the temperatures according to Greenland’s ice cores over the 10,000 years up to 1950. We are still a lot colder than during the Medieval Warm Period BTW.

Study warns of alarming decline in Australian fish
A clear case of overfishing – “The research, in the decade to 2015 by the University of Tasmania and Sydney’s University of Technology, indicated that the numbers of large fish species — over 20 centimetres (eight inches) — had decreased by about 30 percent”
Naturally, they had to slip in “Global Warming” somewhere – no proof needed – “with climate change also contributing” That should ensure they get plenty of funding.
FWIW, most fish migrate and – just like coral but at a far far higher speed – they are free to breed and live in the more suitable places.
“there is so much we just do not know”
V Arnold,
Try and get any of the fake experts here in Cairns to agree with you.
I met a youngish American woman (PhD in ocean studies) who goes out on the boats most days and tells the tourists that it is all about to disappear – all 348,000 square kilometers (135,000 square miles) of it.
The whole thing is laughable if it were not so damaging to the local economy.
The local university, James Cook University, has sacked an academic who had an alternative viewpoint
Reef rebel Peter Ridd gets backing of Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg
TAE seems to regularly link to scare stories about glaciers and so on. Well, here is an antidote:
Climate shock: 90 percent of the world’s glaciers are GROWING
Of course, as Martin Armstrong explains, it is perfectly normal to have less ice in the Arctic and more rain and snow further south – ice is not good at evaporating. 🙂
Oh dear, some more of these things that believers thought were over have actually come about.
Water transforms Australia’s iconic Lake Eyre
It even snowed on hills in Victoria during the month of March – your September.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the sun’s spots going into a quiet period.
Here is a bit of very heavy sarcasm from a remote corner of Ireland. Quite upsetting really.
Expelled Russian Diplomats Allowed Back After Shooting Some Palestinians
All I can add is if the yokels of Waterford have grasped that the mainstream media is spewing nonsense then the game is over. I guess they will now have to become more overtly controlling.
V. Arnold,
I must have missed this. How has John Boton been exposed? Everyone always knew that he wanted to bomb anyone who is not on bended knee. What is new?
I fully sympathise with Assange.
The Australian governments – both parties – are disgrace for not protecting him. It just goes to show that Australia is still a colony of the UK.
“Prosecutors Seek Complete Media Ban On Cardinal George Pell Trial”
Sadly, the Victorian legal system is totally politicised. The investigation into the MH17 crash is a case in point. 26 Australians were killed and the coroner would not allow the police to say what it is that they learnt during their stay in the Netherlands.
“AUSTRALIAN POLICE, DUTCH PROSECUTORS BREAK WITH DUTCH SAFETY BOARD AT FIRST CORONER’S COURT INQUEST ON MH17 CRASH”
Not a single passenger’s body had schrapnel – which means that the BUK ground-to-air missile story is entirely false.
“What exactly is the sin of John McCain that brought on this stoning? ”
You should read a bit of his biography. This guy almost sank an aircraft carrier single-handed – and killed 134 sailors/airmen and wounded 161. McCain’s dad was a 4-star admiral in the USN and the whole investigation was a stitch-up – as is the Wikipedia article below:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_USS_Forrestal_fire
If you think the USN does not lie, check out how they sacrificed a ship to the Israelis – in the hope that its sinking would be blamed on the Egyptians and allow the US to intervene militarily in Egypt.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident
Also, let’s not forget the Gulf of Tonkin fake incident – which led to a great number of Americans, and many time more Vietnamese, to die.
