Yes I am well aware of the Belt and Road initiative of China as I am aware that China is using the long game method of taking over as much of this world as possible.
Small inroads like building military sites in the South China Sea. Insisting that Taiwan be call a Provence of China and forcing countries by economic means to distant themselves from Taiwan to further isolate Taiwan and make it easier for China to take over Taiwan. It’s these little things that the world ignore at their own peril.
China has it’s tentacles into Australia as well, owning ports air fields power companies and large chunks of agricultural land. They have even attempted to insert spies into our political system and regularly hack our security systems.
They are bribing poor Pacific Nations as well as poor South American Nations.
Make no mistake China is for China, they are nobodies friend and are still a Communist country even though they trade under a pseudo capitalist economy.
“Be prepared!” the Watchman’s shout That distant roar is a fire not out. The Fireman readies, he has been trained, He stands on ground on which it has not rained.
“It’s only weather” states the minister of prime, It’s been like this from the beginning of time. Bronzed by the sun on the island of grass, Fires come and go and all will pass.
The temperature rises, the flames soar high, A Fire tornado spirals to the smoke filled sky, “Shake my hand” says the minister of prime, His white shirt glistens amidst the grime.
The Firefighter engages, water in his gun, No time for bravery, no place to run. The fire rages filled with anger and no shame, I will destroy your lives, then whom will you blame.
You called me a hoax, that matters none, You will come to know that my work is not done. There are those that seek a better way, Their numbers are small but rise each day.
The fighter is finished he receives no pay, Yet unselfishly he prepares again for the fray.
I admire your poetry skills. However I sense an undertone of protest against those who do not believe that these fires are a result of climate change. Not to mention a subtle dig at the Prime Minister of Australia.
Do you reside in Australia??? If not how much do you know about Australia??
The poem is a protest against many things - politicians who don’t get their hands dirty so to speak, a system that doesn’t pay volunteers that put their lives at risk - lifeboat crews, firies, mountain rescue and so on.
The earth’s climate knows nothing about human politics, if we call change a hoax then so be it.
I do not live in the Siearra Nevada but my next poem is from the younger brother to the elders of the Kogi
The very nature of volunteer work is that it is voluntary and therefore a way of giving back to the community. Most volunteers do that work not expecting pay but as a way to find self fulfilment and meaning to their life. To pay them is to deny them that fulfilment and self satisfaction that they are doing good in the world.
I worked for 17 years in the police force and have worked side by side with both paid and volunteer emergency workers and I can understand their strong desire to help their fellow man.
I have property in Gippsland that luckily was missed by this Bushfire season… Like most real Australians that don’t live within 5km of the local CBD… @Blackduck, I agree with your previous posts.
And while we are up and about treading the Light Fantastic with Poetry… see below
I Love a Sunburnt Country
The love of field and coppice, Of green and shaded lanes. Of ordered woods and gardens Is running in your veins, Strong love of grey-blue distance Brown streams and soft dim skies I know but cannot share it, My love is otherwise.
I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges, Of droughts and flooding rains. I love her far horizons, I love her jewel-sea, Her beauty and her terror - The wide brown land for me!
A poem about the harshness of the Australian Countryside Published in 1908.
Her beauty and her terror and Droughts and flooding rains…ALL issues in the late 1800’s…
Before Coal fired Power Stations, Global Warming (Hang on, Planets cooling, quick change tack…) Climate Change, PM Scott Morrison or even Greta Thunderbird…
The only NEW science going on of late… is some trying to make money out of fresh air…
I am very pleased to hear that you are safe. The fires were terrible. However you are right, they are nothing new. I grew up on a sheep and cattle property in Oberon NSW and we always had a bushfire plan. From cutting fire breaks to water tanks and knapsacks full of water sitting in the shearing shed ready to go. Unfortunately that was quite a few years ago long before this current crop of climate warriors were even born.
Nasa tweeted today that the smoke from the recent fires mentioned by others on this thread has reached South America.
High up in the mountains of Colombia the ancient tribe named the Kogi live - they have little contact with the outside world, we are their ‘younger brothers’ in their culture.
In 1992 they asked a TV crew into their village, they wanted to give a message to younger brother.
I wonder did the elders look at the strange coloured sunset and ponder…
Kogi.
Almost 30 years have passed Since I called you to my home. A lot has been achieved, More yet to be done.
I see the changes The burning oil I live in the earth My food is in the soil.
I use no power No TV or car I have no money Yet I am richer by far.
Mother alerts me To the change in her health She understands young brother Your pursuit of wealth.
She has no wings Neither left nor right She loves us all Every day and every night.
Brother, I ask of you little Perhaps just a thought What it is like on this mountain In the midst of a drought.
Apparently, little Greta is just a sock-puppet for her father’s climate agenda. Here’s a revelation from The Gateway Pundit about an accidental peek behind the curtain, thanks to a Facebook glitch –
Excerpt –
The edit history for Greta’s page, Wired wrote, “shows that the content has actually been written by her father, Svante Thunberg, and Adarsh Prathap, a climate activist in India who serves as a delegate at the UN’s Climate Change organization.”
Greta quickly sought to shoot down the reports about her Facebook page.
Today three different agencies report that the last 10 years have set some records.
Whether this is a hoax contrived by Nasa, the Met Office and others is yet to be proved, and likely time itself will answer – in due time.
The last ten years have been the hottest they say Warmer by night and warmer by day.
It has warmed in the ocean and warmed in the air In Siberia you will find bones so rare.
The permafrost in the North is beginning to thaw Foundation of concrete no longer the law.
The ice in Antarctica has begun to melt The effect in the North Sea will there be felt.
But fret not you older people because all is not lost It will be those in another ten years who will feel it the most.
Real or hoax what we all should be able to agree on is climate change has become nothing more than a Money grab, everyone one pushing it has a financial or political reason for doing so.
You are spot on. It’s a way to move the world’s wealth from Western Capitalist societies to third world and under developed countries.
Western Societies pay into the World Climate Fund so that those funds can be given to poorer countries to supposedly address climate change. But instead the money just goes to line the pockets of the corrupt government and business officials.
China the world’s biggest polluter is still considered a developing country and therefore entitled to funding from the world climate fund. Go figure!!
This is how they take down and de-platform, ANY voice of reason !
One at a time by whispering in corners by their nasty little vicious methods, deprive of a livelihood anyone with a reasonable point to make and then say ; “Everybody agrees…”
This video - is not the fault of the person who took the original video - it is malicious falsehood by National Geographic
as Taken up by … the “Useful idiots…>”
BUT the outcome is that this woman’s life is destroyed - and others WILL be fearful of speaking out !
"We are at the point now where FEELINGS override FACTS …!"
"We are storing up major problems for the future …"
(Take a look at the results of some other “PC Carp” )
We are bombaeded with the “FACT” that 97% of scientists agree …
Including many many times on this thread.
Perhaps it would be well for those who have been “conviinced” by this “FACT” to actually see what “they” actually agreed on - Oh and how large the sample size was ?
