As much as it annoys a lot of people i find these type of threads facinating its interesting seeing all the different views. Im interested how some people arrive at their conclusions but its generally seen as an attack if you ask them..

Yep. That one. The ones that know their Great Grandfather thought long and hard before he left his farm in Rai Valley and went off with doubt but belief to Gallipoli and then the Western Front, who left one brother at Cape Helles and another permanently damaged. The ones whose Great Uncles and Grandfathers were drafted to return to Africa, and the Pacific, and subsequently K force. The ones whose parents lived through and adapted to the very difficult economic changes of the 80's and early 90's. The ones whose previous generation have elected various Governments that have tried to do the right things in respect to Treaty of Waitangi obligations.
So this generation are "of us" and all those who have gone before and this gives me the confidence to believe in them.
Certain elements of mankind have always been susceptible to "false prophets" and there is no lack of both the prophets and their victims today.
Hanlon's Razor: never attribute to conspiracy that which can adequately be explained by incompetence. I've worked in government for a good part of my career. I've seen a lot of incompetence, disinterest or focus on short term goals. I've seen very little long term thinking.
Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.
The time frame for most government-led decisions is however long till the next election. Its one of the unavoidable flaws in our political system. The alternative is worse though - sure beats not having elections at all!
Pretty sure any real conspiracies have happened when for-profit corporations have gained significant influence over government departments and decisions, in one way or another. Usually to provide an unfair advantage to themselves. Companies meddling with NZ's MPI comes to mind, or certain big pharmaceutical companies overseas meddling with government decision makers, and so on... this is why there is a strong argument for limiting government reach to its most basic functions. Not like what we have today, anywhere in the world.
Just my opinion though, which I realize is worth nothing. My opinion changes regularly, shoulda seen it two years ago! It was a monster.
Lets us assume for a moment Lurch that everything written above is 100% correct. How will loosing your mind with worry over it help you lead and take care of yourself and your family ? Thats what it appears to me may happen. I have a tenant who is going down the same rabbit hole and only mixing with other rabbits who are all collectively telling each other how bad it is and feeding the fear.
The truth as I see it is that throughout human history there has always been some group or other wanting to take control over the population. Romans, Khan Dynasty, on through the British Empire, Adolf Hitler and now the UN, WHO, WEF combination. All these things come and pass away with time, it is just the cycle of human civilisation. We cant change the cycle but we can learn from history and prepare for change
Greetings,
I worked in Local Government for close to three decades and saw some pretty short sighted decisions, especially with underground assets which you can't see until the fail.
To recap the nay sayers are a lost cause and Governments are unlikely to act fast or effectively enough so what are we left with. To me the answer is to build resilience into our daily lives. Vegetable gardening has been mentioned and is something I am trying to get back into. Most of us have enough ground for a small garden. Being a little less reliant on the National Grid is another. This is work in progress currently. Downsizing vehicles as they are replaced to what we need rather than what we would like and cutting down on vehicle dead running (unnecessary trips) is another. Our firewood comes from trees I planted for that purpose years ago so cartage is minimal. Any other ideas.
Regards Grandpamac.
You have covered the basics well GPM.
My son lives in Berlin. Everyone lives in apartments. A lot of people grow tiny little gardens in windowsill boxes, to vary up their salads. So people here saying they don't have enough room to grow stuff....
Owning stuff that can be fixed by yourself (or look up on YT!!!) is kind of useful. Means you don't have to sign up to the throw away culture.
A good review of your living situation can be useful: Power goes off. Can you still get water? Flush the loo?? Cook?? Heat the house???
The bridge goes out. How long can you last at home till you need food/fuel??
This, and many other potentials for failures is why I believe we need REAL teachers in schools. Cloning NIMROD anyone???
OK I shall answer just this little bit.....
now lets say for just one minute your right......and lets say there is bits of embrio in coca cola
lets say there is 1ml per litre...thats 1/1000th fair enough???? for lack of a given amount lets just run with that one for now....fair enough????
comes from kidneys you say???? fair enough...this far down rabbit hole we may as well look a bit further..... each kidney will weigh maybe 25grms..IN TOTAL....working on a sheeps one being about 150ish grms.... so lets say thats 50grms total per fetus...and lets pretend that the "big bad people" get 5 grms of the good stuff out of each fetus
with me so far???? or have you lost your dinner....
so thats 1/1000th by weight and the big bad people extract 5 grms per fetus.....
well back when I worked in freight industry,I delivered 27 TON of coca cola to Twizel supermarket for Christmas rush..that was the old LITTLE supermarket not the new big one...... and that only one tiny supermarket in tiny wee New Zealand.would need 27 kgs worth so 5 and a bit fetus's for that ONE TRUCK... and we dont drink as much of the fizzy stuff as the USA ....... so do the maths @Lurch...seriously DO THE MATHS
even if my rough figures are out by huge margain..do the maths..it JUST DOESNT STACK UP......
and this has NOTHING to do with climate....
the earth is continually changing..always has done....40 days n 40 nights ring any bells??? how about the sea shell fossils up on mountain tops????
the swamp kauri and the petrified logs too.... something changed to make them do that...
here in NZ the canterbury plains....the rivers once wandered all over them..NOBODY can deny that,you just need to look at it from above...so where did all the water come from???? why dont we still get it??
it changes....always has .always will.
you say in your 5th from bottom line something rather insiteful.......do the maths on the coca cola and then re read that line.

@Lurch, I consider myself to be a reasonably intelligent and educated person. I read the labels on the food I buy, I have a good relationship with my doctor who has actually taken the time to explain to me how vaccines have been made in the past and the how the mrna vaccine is manufactured. I believe that stem cell research has done a lot to advance modern medicine. So many of your assumptions you make in your recent rant are in fact wrong. I am a curious person by nature so took a few seconds to look up HEK296 and found this. I have not double checked the information on here but it seems plausible:
https://fullfact.org/online/HEK-293-cells/
It is interesting that those who wish to influence the thinking of others tend to only promote the part of the picture that will generate fear or revulsion. The original cells were harvested in 1973 according to this article, and then cloned. I wonder how the cell structure may have been altered in the 50 years since. My knowledge of microbiology is extremely limited, perhaps someone can enlighten me.

If you have a garden and a library, you have all you need. Oh, and a dog, and a rifle
Also, I am unfamiliar with the term lucsh, @Lurch can you please explain what it means.

nah he cant @Andygr cause he is no longer able to post/rant/spout forth ....sad that folks can ...how did moa hunter put it so well a few posts back up page??? be so far down rabbit hole and only talking to other rabbits. wood for the trees and all that.
its funny/sad really you can point out that wearing blinkers when looking into stuff goes both ways.... but if someone is wearing blinkers they still keep looking in same places for answers.
I really hope that the people who are deep in the rabbit hole can wake up and come out in the sunshine again...life is too short as it is,without being scared all the time.
