  1. Who can show us the way forward in this difficult world? The finance people and political management people seem inclined to treat the world like a monopoly board!
    But the clear thinking of medicine, and its synthesis of people and proved information on disease and healing methods shines a light brighter than from other areas of our society.

    This is a really interesting video on the spread of hepatitis from a theoretical, probably real single person. It sounds rather like the known start of Covid to the wide world from one holiday maker travelling internationally. There are ideas given for preventing such a spread. Steve Mould seems a useful person to keep an eye on.

  2. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/466214/police-arrest-several-in-canadian-capital-as-bikers-parade-turns-unruly
    Here we go again in Canada – a little amount of power and prancing goes to heads. I have
    protested but we were marching doggedly, seriously, had a definite point to make, not prancing around more interested in doing something illegal and doing our own thing – so there.

    I fear if the emotional or unthinking gain a head of steam and the police and authority comes down and takes a tough line then there will be no room for moving on to get better thinking from both sides. A whole lot of loose muscle without minds to direct their actions intelligently to some rational end is frightening. The French Revolution had aims for a better world but it’s hard to keep to high aims it seems.

  3. Victory Day on May 9. The Russian national holiday celebrates the historical victory of the Soviet Union over Nazi Germany in World War II..
    Will the declare the same for the Ukraine on the 9th.

  4. Wouldn’t this give you ulcers. Christchurch is either covering up for each other and needs a complete clean out in their building department or we need to employ Australian civil engineers for a lengthy period to run their eyes over the plans, species and all paperwork and that goes on for some years as they down there in Christchurch seem to have been less than responsible. NZ should do better especially now we have earthquake problems and ground water flows. Government working with business over regs – what an opening for disaster.

    Someone has to apply pressure for integrity. It takes someone whose relation has died because of poor quality work to raise this matter and it will probably take him to see it through to the end. So thanks to that man for doing something about lax New Zealanders. What a lot of wooses we are.

    A tiny island off Vanuatu’s Espiritu Santo Island could become a haven for people who want to live exclusively in a digital world.
    What was Lataro Island is now called Satoshi Island – Satoshi being a word that has become synonymous with the digital currency world.

    Different ways of governing oneself. Don’t tell Groundswill.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_Hutt_River
    The principality was located 517 km (354 mi) north of Perth, near the town of Northampton in the state of Western Australia. It had an area of 75 square kilometres (29 sq mi), making it larger than several recognized countries. It was not recognised as a country by the Australian Government nor any other national government, and the High Court of Australia and Supreme Court of Western Australia rejected submissions arguing that it was not subject to Australian laws.[4]
    The principality was a regional tourist attraction until it announced it was closed to tourists after 31 January 2020.[5][6] It issued its own currency, stamps and passports (which are not recognised by the Australian government or any other government).[7] The micronation was founded on 21 April 1970 when Leonard Casley declared his farm to be an independent country, the Hutt River Province. He attempted to secede from Australia over a dispute concerning wheat production quotas.
