Queensland police must report matters involving sovereign citizens, religious extremists, and conspiracy theorists to top counter-terror teams in the wake of the Wieambilla shooting in which two officers and a local man were killed.

In an email sent to all Queensland Police Service (QPS) members, which has been sighted by the ABC, officers have been briefed on new procedures for recording interactions with conspiracy theorists and those spouting religious-related ideology.

It was disseminated on Thursday, the same day police held a press conference in relation to the Wieambilla shooting referring to it as a "religiously motivated terrorist attack".

Nathaniel, Gareth and Stacey Train shot constables Rachel McCrow, Matthew Arnold and neighbour Alan Dare on their property in the Western Downs on December 12 last year before the trio were shot and killed by specialist police.

Comment: Something is very smelly here. It looks like an inside job so that they can claim more authoritarian control over the general population who do not agree with government policies.

First, they marked some people as conspiracy theorists. If someone still doesn't understand what that means, look at the last 2-3 years and the so-called "Covid Pandemic".

Now, the same people who were openly talking against harmful government policies are classified as terrorist group. So, a person is a terrorist if he thinks with his own head and criticizes government policies.

We all know how terrorists are treated by police. Our society starts to look like a script for a technocratic totalitarian sci-fi movie.

The United States Department of the Interior is now offering 'ecogrief' training to employees who may be experiencing feelings of trauma or loss over climate change and the environment.

This crosses into the 'beyond parody' category of government.

We have a massive and completely real environmental disaster unfolding in Ohio, and the Interior Department is offering what sounds like climate change therapy to employees.

UFO shot down by $400K US missile may have been a $12 hobby balloon: report

One of the UFOs shot down last weekend by the US Air Force with a $400,000 missile may have simply been a $12 balloon belonging to an Illinois enthusiast club, a report said.

The Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade told Aviation Week on Thursday that it fears one of its diligently tracked gasbags that recently went missing was the mystery object taken out by the military over Canada on Saturday.

The Pico Balloon — a silver-coated, cylindrically shaped object — reported its last position at 38,910 feet off the west coast of Alaska on Friday.

By Saturday, based on the balloon's projected path, it would have been over the central part of the Yukon Territory around the same time a military Lockheed Martin F-22 shot down an unidentified object of a similar description and altitude in the same area of Canada, the outlet reported.

The NIBBB — a group of enthusiasts dedicated to creating, releasing and tracking homemade balloons — declared its K9YO device "missing in action" on Saturday.

50% of Americans believe news outlets INTENTIONALLY misinform public, just 23% believe they act in public's best interests - Gallup

Half of Americans in a recent survey indicated they believe national news organizations intend to mislead, misinform or persuade the public to adopt a particular point of view through their reporting.

The survey, released Wednesday by Gallup and the Knight Foundation, goes beyond others that have shown a low level of trust in the media to the startling point where many believe there is an intent to deceive.

Asked whether they agreed with the statement that national news organizations do not intend to mislead, 50% said they disagreed. Only 25% agreed, the study found.

Similarly, 52% disagreed with a statement that disseminators of national news "care about the best interests of their readers, viewers and listeners," the study found. It said 23% of respondents believed the journalists were acting in the public's best interests.

Comment: Considering how many lies the mainstream media have been caught peddling, and the destruction and death they have contributed to, it's a wonder 50% of Americans have faith in the media; although it perhaps reveals that there is a segment of society who will go to their deaths believing in the authorities, regardless of how much they're made to suffer.

Two people have been killed after a Tennessee National Guard Black Hawk Helicopter crashed in a fireball on an Alabama highway while on a training mission. The UH-60 Black Hawk military helicopter 'exploded' into a huge fireball on Highway 53 near Harvest at 3.30pm ET Wednesday.

U.S. military officials confirmed to AP that the two people on board were killed after the aircraft slammed to the ground in the median of Highway 53, near Burwell Road, in the town of Harvest about a half hour north-west of Huntsville. Footage from the scene showed thick, black smoke billowing from the crash site. The fire was quickly extinguished.

Huntsville Emergency Medical Services said there were no survivors. Its unclear where the chopper in question was stationed and who was on board.

The Madison County Sheriff's Office said the helicopter 'exploded on impact and was burning' when firefighters arrived, adding 'It's a pile of rubble.'

Another one: Police say train derailment in Van Buren Township closes multiple roads,

Train derailment in Van Buren Township, Michigan on February 16, 2023
A train derailed in Van Buren Twp on Thursday, prompting police to urge everyone to avoid the area. The good news, police say, is that nothing hazardous has been released from the train's containers.

Authorities are responding to a train derailment in Van Buren Township Thursday morning. Authorities are asking residents to avoid the area of Huron River Drive and Haggerty due to a railroad accident investigation. Both north and southbound traffic is blocked due to the incident, which happened just south off I-94 and west of Belleville.

Roads will be closed for a few hours, the Van Buren Public Safety Department said.

It's unclear what happened, but police said there are no injuries and the area is not a hazmat situation. The department said there was "no evidence" of exposed hazardous materials and any train cars that contained hazardous materials had not been compromised.

No injuries have been reported as well.

Comment: Decades of the U.S. government neglecting the country's infrastructure in favor of hegemonic booddoggles are now coming home to roost. One infamous example seen on Twitter.


Not regarding the Ohio disaster, but equally applicable.

Higher excess deaths clearly linked to higher vaccination rates in England, new analysis shows

Covid-19 mRNA Vaccine
The more vaccine doses an area of England has received, the greater the number of excess deaths it has experienced, an analysis of officialdata has found - adding to worries that the novel Covid vaccines are contributing to the sharp rise in excess deaths seen since mid-2021.

The analysis looked at excess death rates and vaccination rates for all 300-plus lower tier administrative areas in England. It used the pre-pandemic five-year average (2015-19) as a baseline and controlled for confounding factors such as age and deprivation by comparing the findings in the vaccination era to those in the first Covid wave, before vaccines were available (Figure 1).

Corporate America is dumping diversity professionals more than other roles

Large corporations are firing diversity staff at higher rates than other corporate roles as firms continue to layoff employees.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) employees are leaving companies at a higher rate than non-DEI employees, based on a study from workforce data company Reveliolabs. The 12-month rate of attrition for DEI employees was 33% in December 2022, compared to 21% for non-DEI roles.

Since July 2022, over 300 DEI professionals have left companies such as Target, Capital One, Amazon, Wells Fargo, Twitter, Nike and Intel as part of corporate layoffs. Target, Capital One and Amazon let go of between 15 and 20 DEI professionals each. Listings for DEI roles in the tech industry dropped 19% in 2022, Bloomberg reported.


"When economic conditions become uncertain, companies pare back their spending to the essentials," said Andrew Crapuchettes, CEO of RedBalloon, a networking firm. "While well intentioned, most DEI programs are simply virtue signaling, often at the expense of healthy company culture. The c-suites understand this, and in choppy economic waters, DEI is likely slated to be among the first to go."

U.S. corporations spent $9.3 billion on DEI initiatives in 2022 and projections estimate DEI spending will grow to $15.4 billion by 2026, according to consulting firm StrategyR.

The rise of Ireland's anti-migrant protests: Right-wing populism could outflank Sinn Féin

ireland immigration protests
Ireland has an immigration problem. Almost a year after refugees started to arrive from Ukraine, leaving state capacity buckled and local communities unnerved, two very different expressions of civic disorder have emerged. In one, migrants are housed in cubicle dorms in office buildings or, even worse, in tents. In the other, grassroots anti-migrant protests are sweeping across the country, rallying around the slogan "Ireland is Full". There were 307 anti-migrant protests in 2022, while 2023 has already seen 64. At the latest demonstration in Dublin, on Tuesday, more than 2,000 protestors took to the streets.

The focal point of the protests is Dublin's East Wall, where, in November, after the government converted a state building into a migrant residence without consulting locals, hundreds of people started to gather week after week. By December, the demonstrations spread to other areas — Drimnagh, Finglas, Ballymun and Fermoy. Rather than losing steam as each month went by, the protests continued to intensify, sprouting across the country. And as they did, it became clear that they were different from other anti-migrant demonstrations in Europe.

Comment: Unmentioned is another 'new right' party in Ireland, The National Party, led by Justin Barrett and James Reynolds.
