offsite link Australia?s Conservatives Are Paying the Price of Kowtowing to the Left Sat Apr 26, 2025 11:00 | Dr James Allan
As the Australian Right-of-centre Liberal party stares down the barrel of another election defeat, it's further proof, says Professor James Allan, that there are no prizes for conservatives who kowtow to the Left.

The WHO's new Pandemic Agreement, set to be agreed next month, consolidates the pandemic preparedness scam, says Dr David Bell. Built on a heap of falsehoods about the true health risks humanity faces, it must be rejected.

offsite link Ed Miliband is Now the UK?s Major Source of Net Zero Disinformation Sat Apr 26, 2025 07:00 | Tilak Doshi
Ed Miliband's brazen claim that UK electricity prices are high because of gas ? even though over half the cost comes from renewables charges ? confirms him as the UK's major source of Net Zero disinformation.

recording of Kenbrew McLoed at TCD, Fri Jan 13th.

The public domain is shrinking: it is being diminished in almost every sphere; education and literature, medicine, life (including human genetic material), music and science. Needless to say, this privatisation is beeing carried out at the expense of our freedom to avail of our common heritage; for no-one is trully original. Isaac Newton said "If I see further than other men, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants".

Likely as not, this statement of Newton's freely given, will be forbidden from use without royalty of some description in the near future.

Our own state broadcaster is at it; selling things back to us that are already ours, but that's for another day.

Listen to Kenbrew's less parochial perspective; though cords will be struck.

Kenbrew is one of the most articulate people I have heard to date, explaining the social cost of mass privatization, be it in scientific research or in music. He has a very interesting mind.

The discussion took place in a pub on Dame Street on Friday January 13th, shortly after Kenbrew had conducted a public seminar on The Privatisation of Everything Under the Sun for the Department of Sociology at Trinity College Dublin.

Dr. McLoed had to leave the field of Sociology for Communications in the US, because Sociology Departments there are not open to radical discourse. Even European Sociologists like Stuart Hall are off the disciplinary menua of US Sociology. In Contrast, Communications Studies in the US are inter-disciplinary and very open to debate of integrity
