BP for some reason also reminds me of the Blue Peter nautical flag, which is flown when a ship is about to leave port and a sign for sailors to return.

This article looks at IVM and HCQ use during the plandemic in the United States. Note that the article is extremely biased against their use and does not examine evidence of their efficacy.
In Australia, IVM and HCQ were banned for covid-19 treatment. (Note, IVM and HCQ to be taken according to appropriate protocols.) No doubt that decision caused many to die, as did failure to recognise greater susceptibility to covid due to failure to recognise the adverse effect of Vitamin D deficiency on covid outcomes.

Their angle is that the Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine were overused and people should have used Remdesivir (or Run Death is Near as it became known)
They are a journal that started from Project Hope – claim to be editorially independent from their funders though (so that is reassuring – sarc)

A discussion of the terrorist, concentration camp overseer, executioner, mass murderer, racist, sexist, misogynist, homosexual hating, psychopath, who also had extremely poor personal hygiene, so beloved by the Left and whose image they frequently wear on t-shirts.

‘Science blogs’.
Why?
Isn’t much of it a reaction to the political corruption of ‘Science’’.
Certainly the main reason I began to read them.
Even to the layman, something sounded off.
Then … “believe the Science’” and “follow the Science” and “consensus” became threats.
‘Science’ allowed itself to be bought and comprised by ideology and now responds to the public’s loss of faith with the abandonment of Free Speech ideals and developing support for censorship.

The real purpose(s) of the Elon Musk email to US public serpents.
One reason is to establish that there is a real person actually reading their email as there is a suspicion that some salaries are getting paid to dead people or other false names and the money collected by others.
Hence it containing words to the effect that if the recipient doesn’t respond they will be fired.
Also, how hard should it be to fulfil the other request in the email to write about five bullet points about what they did last week?

If Airbus was dragging in the polls before, this latest debacle should just about finish him off.
You can’t lie and obfuscate about national security.
The generals should be ‘invited’ to parliament house to explain to us how they didn’t know the Chinese ships travelled down our East Coast.
It seems the first anyone knew anything was when the Virgin pilot picked up the Chinks radio call and passed it on to the ATC who then notified the relevant authorities.

If such a basic intrusion as this can’t be detected by our military, it makes you wonder what else they’ve missed or will miss in future.
And perhaps the the Jindalee Operational Radar Network (over the horizon radar) should be extended to that area as well. Of course, it is another question why that region isn’t already covered.
It should also be investigated to what extent we have Chicomm agents embedded in the Australian military.

Apparently I’m not the only one who recognises the Left’s war against inexpensive and enjoyable protein like chicken and eggs, such as their mass killing of chickens due to avian influenza when a) without gain of function modifications its very hard for humans to get bird flu and 2) if the disease is allowed to run its course in chickens you will end up with naturally resistant animals that can be bred to create new superior stock.
The following commentary is about the situation in the US but we have the same situation going on in Australia.

President TRUMP just posted an important message about the Ukraine war. I can’t post it here because its in the form of a photo from Truth Social.

The US will also establish a “critical minerals and rare earths” deal with Ukraine to help the US recoup some of the billions of dollars of cash and equipment sent to the Ukes.

Here is a video of the staggeringly clueless Australian politician, Kate Chaney, MP, saying how its a hot day so it must be climate change blah, blah, blah.
She is a Teal and Federal member for Curtin (in Perth).

Rita Panahi reacts to bizarre comments by Australian Senator Fatima Payman who claims Iran is a wonderful place for women, which no doubt Payman’s Leftist comrades, “feminists” and useful idiots of the Left agree with.

It is a lot better place for women in Iran than under the Taliban 2.0.

“We must take inspiration from the struggles of women in Iran, Palestine, Kurdistan, India, Latin America, and other nations fighting oppression to continue our relentless battle against fundamentalist fascism and its imperialist masters”

Not sure if this is appropriate to post here, but just wanted to share my analysis of the 1968 movie 2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanely Kubrick. I’ve been fascinated with this movie for years since I first saw it in 2017 and believe it’s conveying a deep message about the alchemical transformation of the soul. The movie, some have suggested, has Gnostic and Hermetic elements to it, such as the ascension of the soul through planetary spheres (found in the Hermetic path of ascension), the psychotic AI named HAL as a sort of Demiurge stand-in, and the protagonist Bowman who resurrects seems to be your archetypal Jesus figure.

Excellent and very deep analysis, Richard.
