In the past we have been told that vaccines take up to ten years to be tested for safety and efficacy. Now, in less than twelve months since the China virus appeared, we are expected to believe that vaccines are ready for use!

Not only have the social engineers taken away our freedoms, they have also deadened our common sense. In the past thirty years, the US government has compensated, to the tune of $4.5billion, people adversely affected by vaccines apparently properly tested. Now we are expected to believe that vaccines pushed out in an amazingly short time are ready to go, and 2021 will be all tickety boo.

It was great to have six of the teenage grandchildren around for the New Year. Having a bit of a "forum" with the kids I was impressed with their positive attitude towards the future. The issues concerning my lot are, I think, typical of the concerns and hope of most young people in Australia. They spoke freely about religion, war, politics and the economic future as they see it. They have concerns about education, employment, housing, even children, etc, issues of racism and inequality in our society, are things they think about. Covid-19 of course got a run and the poor political reaction in the world, but they were thankful for the scientists for what they have done to save lives. The kids are generally optimistic about their future and are positive that the world can be a better place in the years to come.

"Nothing will ever return to the ‘broken’ sense of normalcy that prevailed [earlier]. We … will be surprised by both the rapidity and unexpected nature of these changes – as they conflate with each other, they will provoke cascading effects and unforeseen outcomes”. (Klaus Schwab).

'Cascading effects and unforeseen outcomes' starting in 2021. Deny it if you will, but it's already happening. We are still chuntering on about the "free markets", but free markets haven't been in operation for a long time. Governments are subsidising and interfering all the time, paving the way for the Schwab gang and wealthy elites who have used engineered "emergencies" like climate change to increase their wealth while the rest of us go downhill. A "different economy" is what the future is being called. Big business is being "fused to government".

Don't waste your breath wishing anybody a happy new year. We haven't seen anything yet.

This headline - "Scott Morrison changes Australia's national anthem" - looks trivial, but sums up what is happening in Australia. We are moving away from parliamentary democracy to oligarchy, even a one-man band.

I don't give a damn about national anthems nor the words therein; but many people do, and any changes should be agreed by a majority of Australians, not one man. With a piss poor Opposition and our most arrogant Prime Minister yet, we will soon be ruled by his decrees, not by an elected parliament, on anything and everything, while we bury our heads in the sand.

ttbn,

Shame on you! Whatever happened to that ANZAC spirit: One for all! And all for one!

Ooops .......... I think that might have been the Three Musketeers.
