This is the sort of nonsense that gets translated i to standards we cannot influence & everything we do is to be measured against these “objective” standards.

I regard this narrative, that “China is trying to control Africa”, as another example of the Yeadon Principle.

This account is ten years old. It has the saving grace of being mildly amusing. The author debunks the nuclear fission bombs allegedly dropped on Japan in 1945.

I knew from other sources that The Manhattan was a fake & a huge theft from the public treasury.

Why is it every big claim made is accompanied by an astonishing number of confusing questions? Defenders of this official narrative are forever ducking and diving in their efforts to debunk the questioner, instead explaining in detail what really happened & why your questions are just stupid?

There are “nukes” and the fear PsyOp is wearing thin. Good!

This Australian consumer protection law looks very valuable.
Does anyone know if UK or elsewhere has similar protections?
My cynical mind wonders if these protections were added to get lawmakers to vote through digital ID, after which these protections will be waived in one or more ways so that it becomes compulsory.

I start from the position that there’s no justification whatsoever for a new form of digital ID. We do not need it at all.

The perpetrators need us to accept it in order to have totalitarian control over every aspect of our lives and we’d be mad to accept it.

Read Section 74 of the Digital ID Act 2024 its in you favour & despite the fact they are obliged to make it easy - they probably wont. here is an overview ... Section 74 of the Digital ID Act 2024 is one of the most important consumer‑protection clauses in the entire legislation. It establishes the legal rule that Digital ID in Australia is voluntary, and it sets strict limits on when any organisation can require or pressure someone to use a Digital ID.

## What Section 74 Actually Says
Section 74 is titled:

### “Creating and using a digital ID is voluntary.”

It contains several subsections that together create a strong legal protection for individuals.

---

## 1. No organisation can force you to use a Digital ID
A “participating relying party” (banks, government agencies, companies using the Digital ID system) must not require you to create or use a Digital ID as a condition of receiving a service. [Australasian Legal Information Institute](https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/num_act/dia202487/s74.html)

This means:

- They cannot refuse service if you don’t want a Digital ID.
- They must offer another way to access the service.

---

## 2. The alternative must be fair and accessible
Even if an organisation offers a non‑Digital‑ID option, they are still breaking the law if:
- the alternative is not reasonably accessible, or
- the alternative is substantially less favourable (slower, more expensive, more difficult). [Australasian Legal Information Institute](https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/num_act/dia202487/s74.html)

This prevents companies from “technically” offering an alternative but making it so inconvenient that people feel forced into Digital ID.

---

## 3. Exceptions exist, but they are narrow
Section 74 allows exceptions only when:

- The service is simply a gateway to another service that does have a fair alternative.
- The person is acting on behalf of a business (e.g., a company representative).
- The organisation has been granted a formal exemption by the Digital ID Regulator. [Australasian Legal Information Institute](https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/num_act/dia202487/s74.html)

Exemptions are not automatic — they must be applied for and justified.

---

## 4. Example from the Act
The Act gives a practical example:
A bank offers two ways to verify identity:

- In‑person at a branch
- Online using Digital ID

If someone chooses not to use Digital ID, they can still go to the branch.
This does not breach Section 74 because the alternative is accessible and not less favourable. [Australasian Legal Information Institute](https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/num_act/dia202487/s74.html)

---

## 5. Why Section 74 matters
This section is designed to:

- Prevent coercion
- Protect people who do not want a Digital ID
- Ensure Digital ID adoption is genuinely voluntary
- Stop organisations from creating “Digital ID only” services
- Maintain access for people without smartphones, internet, or digital literacy

It is one of the strongest “voluntary use” clauses in any digital identity legislation globally.

---

## 6. How Section 74 fits into the broader Act
The Digital ID Act 2024 is a large framework law that:

- Creates the Australian Government Digital ID System
- Establishes accreditation rules
- Sets privacy and security requirements
- Creates a Digital ID Regulator
- Defines penalties for misuse

Section 74 is the key consumer‑rights safeguard within that framework. [Federal Register of Legislation](https://www.legislation.gov.au/C2024A00025/2024-12-11/2024-12-11/text/original/pdf)

If this information doesn’t prompt a close look at the probable capabilities of your car (if you own one) then one day, plan that’s been decades in the making will deny you the ability to drive somewhere at short notice.
Nothing which required such a concerted, worldwide adoption of automotive technologies into every car sold in the EU and those countries which (it is claimed) voluntarily shadow EU policy here, was done for fun.

There is still time to get yourself into a car that can only be interdicted physically.

I’ve been following Mario Inecco for over three years. I agree with his analysis that destruction of all fiat currencies is a central bank policy objective.

We don’t know when, but it could be soon, that our money becomes worthless.

It has not only happened before, it must always happen when the conditions for a “crack up boom” recur.

This quotation is from “Human Action”, by economist, Ludwig Von Mises, of the “Austrian school”, the very opposite of the “Keynesian school” of economics, which latter has obtained pretty much since WW2 and most notably after all currencies were unanchored from anything real after Nixon ended the convertibility of the US dollar to gold at a fixed price in 1971.

The Breton Woods agreement of 1944 set out the postwar settlement & the US dollar was the only currency anchored to gold. Everyone else’s currency was pegged to the US dollar.

Escape Key realises that his magnum opus of collected works will probably never be read, certainly not by the mass of even awake people.
So he’s created more accessible summaries.

Highly recommended. Every claim is underwritten somewhere.

essentially a summary essay, where things are made a bit more accessible

Being objective rather than defeatist, here’s an explanation for why my messages don’t spread very far and in turn explains why nothing medieval has happened to be.

that is the first legit thing you’ve said, google ai.

This, I confess, is one of very few things that frighten me.
If they should ever come for me, I’m not going along with it.
I’ll give them a reason to Section me, pour encourager les autres.

Fishy as!

I’ve not read it yet but sounds like a must read!

How wonderful. The IPCC is falling apart, not that you’ll ever hear about it from the climate crowd. This will come in handy https://open.substack.com/pub/thedragonsbreath/p/the-ipcc-falls-apart

I’m not a machinist, but in a different life, I might well have been. I watch videos like this and spontaneously laughed at the music, because I understand exactly why he put it there.

Last time I had a shaft pitted like that, I sent it off for “hard chroming”. A clever machine checks it for trueness along its length (usually they’re not true after 30,000 careless miles on the front of a motorbike), trues it, then takes off the factory original plating, which is deep, before replating with hard chrome and finally grinding it back to factory specs. It isn’t cheap, but boy they look great and beats NLA (no longer available) all day.

Enjoy, folks!
