Does the COVID-19 crisis support Neil deGrasse Tyson's call for "Rationalia," a world in which "science" reigns supreme? Here's how C.S. Lewis would have answered.
“You don't need a mask.”
“Everyone needs to wear a mask.”
“Asymptomatic spreaders are the real problem.”
“No wait, it doesn't look like asymptomatic carriers are spreading it.”
“Coronavirus will spread at protests... unless they're protests over the death of George Floyd.”

Solar energy is very dilute, so solar collectors usually cover huge areas of flat arable land, stealing farmland, starving wild herbs and grasses of sunlight and creating “Solar Deserts”.

That is what a liitle five year old girl said. Isn't that sad and now I see two older ladies being harrassed by Police in Melbourne. Their crime sitting on a park bench together. What a State of affairs. When I watched the video I was shocked at 5 Police confronting two hardened criminals having some fresh air.;And then to see one of those Officers snatch the phone from one of ladies. Thank goodness I do not live in Victoria.

So said Peter Lalor in 1854 at the Eureka Stockade in Ballarat. The current catastrophic oppression of civil liberties in Victoria has little to do with the Virus but more to do with the takeover of the People and their Government by the Chinese Communist Party.
What have we done? We have allowed our guns to be taken from us and turned us into a nation of compliant jellies.
So often, I read comments from people in Australia who say “ who cares about what is happening in America? We need to focus on what is happening here, not in the USA. “
But, given that what is happening here is because China wants America toppled, we should very interested.
And very alarmed.

What does the future hold? How the hell will we cope moving on? Our economies are in meltdown; our freedoms destroyed and the Thought Police are censoring our lives through fear. They are aiming for castles in the sky but forgetting that, in order to get there, you have to travel a dangerous road and someone has to be the driver.
We are poisoning ourselves with hand sanitiser and locking ourselves away from normality because we are too scared to stick our heads above the radar and risk being arrested for negative thoughts.
We don't want to be carted off in handcuffs, wearing our PJ's because we dared to say that life isn't very fair right now. We are living in a dystopian nightmare and we truly need to wake up and shake off the stupor that has infected us.
This morning, about 3am, after a night of tossing, turning, I had a panic attack.

We are facing the biggest showdown in the history of the modern world. Part of me felt that I was watching Daniel before he walked in to the Lions Den - or, even, during a commercial break between rounds with the lions.
Here in Australia, we have circus ringmasters like Daniel Andrews and Anna Plucka duck Palaszczuk thinking that they can control our lives, yet President Trump is showing them up as dictatorial has beens who look like fools when compared with the Masterclass of Trump. And Mr Morrison, so called PRIME Minister of Australia, take the class and see how it is done.
Trump is the real deal.
This rally did remind me of a Bible story about Daniel in the lion's den and how Daniel triumphed against all odds.
I just finished watching the latest Trump Rally. It was a much overdue dose of commonsense, unity and straight talking.

Living in the real Outback of Australia is like confronting yourself with yourself. Seeing yourself for who you are. It is like meeting yourself as a stranger and wondering if you will like that person.
It was back in the 1990's that I met Albert. A quiet man who had shunned the city and, after a trip to Brisbane in 1949, decided that the big lights were not for him. He returned to the Channel Country and never left again.

A few months ago, the Democrats were short on money and needed to boost their campaign coffers. Staggering to read today that they raised over $300 million in August, outstripping their July figure of $140 million. Not bad. Not bad at all.
I am wondering how much of that money is dirty money funneled through Black Lives Matter over the recent months of riots across America.

New Zealand was supposed to show the world how the pandemic could be halted. The island nation largely avoided the first wave of the outbreak in March on the account of its remoteness and the hasty imposition of border controls. As the novel COVID-19 virus ravaged its way across the vulnerable populations of Asia, Europe, and North America, New Zealand locked down its entire society.
“No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous” ~ Edgar Allan Poe, Masque of the Red Death
On March 22, the nation’s government announced a month of sheltering in place. The order came from on high with the stroke of a pen, without legislative deliberation or even the process of law. Enforcement persisted for nine days despite having no legal justification – just an illegal executive decree by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. Months would pass before the country’s high court censured this abrogation of democratic governance. It did not matter. Ardern’s actions were “unlawful, but justified” to halt the pandemic, the bold actions of a “hero” who knew better than her own people.
For the next month New Zealand operated under the strictest lockdowns in the world, surpassing even communist China at the peak of its Wuhan region quarantine. The country reached an astounding 96.3 out of 100 points on the Oxford lockdown stringency index.

California leads the way to electricity blackouts, closely followed by South Australia.
They both created this problem by taxing, banning, delaying or demolishing reliable coal, nuclear, gas or hydro generators while subsidising and promoting unreliable electricity from the sickly green twins - solar and wind. All supposed to solve a global warming crisis that exists only in academic computer models.
Energy policy should be driven by proven reliability, efficiency and cost, not by green politics.
