Becky Fury with Tony Allen

Tony Allen was born like most people but, unlike most people, he was born on March 4th 1945, in the last months of WW2 in Hayes, Middlesex, to working-class parents.

Tony attributed much of the anarchic politicization that informed his whole potent life and oeuvre, to his upbringing.

Tony’s mum had flourished as a result of the unprecedented freedom women (on the home front) experienced during the war and after she had struggled to readjust when these freedoms were redacted. As a child Mrs Allen regaled young Tony with tales from her gilded age and also expressed her sense of injustice to him regarding its passing.

Mrs Allen was unknowingly talking to Tony about women’s liberation, (a cause he would later champion) but it would be another 20 years or so, before the experience of Mrs Allen and women like her could really be put into words because, until the counter cultural kick back of the 1960s, the language to describe the experience she was trying to describe didn’t exist.

Young Tony with his parents

Tony’s dad had also had a good war. According to Mr Allen, his time as an artilleryman in North Africa had been something of a holiday. According to Mr Allen, it had mainly involved getting a suntan or “lying by a gunner and staring at the stars” so, unintentionally Mr & Mrs Allen indoctrinated young Tony into becoming a utopian. Into a belief that other, better worlds are possible… A belief that underpinned everything Tony strived for in his art and life – as an authentic anarchist and as an authentic revolutionary, comic thinker.

20 years later, COP28 to ‘reduce methane emissions’ by criminal subsidized fossil fuel profiteers

The long-awaited new EPA rule could trim 2 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, till Trump again cancels it..

comment: What a joke! Anyway we have to support this minimal step forward that Trump may cancel AGAIN on his 1st day if reelected. We demanded methane emissions controls 20 years ago, followed by years of US blocking by the ‘Texas Cowboy’ oil lobby, even when a little investment could have profited them, using the gas instead of venting and flaring it for quicker profits.

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES — Methane concentrations in the atmosphere are rising, and the oil and gas industry is responsible for nearly a third of global methane emissions. The greenhouse gas is 80 times more powerful than carbon dioxide over its first 20 years in the atmosphere, and it’s responsible for a quarter of the temperature increase that has already taken place.

At COP28, the annual United Nations climate conference taking place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the United States announced that it has finalized regulations to tackle this pressing problem.

On Saturday, the Environmental Protection Agency finalized a rule to reduce methane emissions from the U.S. oil and gas industry, which is responsible for about 12 percent of global methane emissions from the sector.

Idiotic Climate Deniers demand Inalienable Right to Destroy the Planet

Even as world temperatures go through the roof, and climate influenced droughts, floods and heat waves destroy millions of livelihoods and the ecosphere, the self entitled US billionaire corporations continue to promote new waves of Climate Deniers for short term profit. – Cop28 still largely ignores cutting fossil fuel subsidies that could generate trillions of dollars to tackle climate change

Methane is the main component of natural gas, and it leaks from every phase of oil and gas production, from extraction to transport to refining. The new rule requires oil field companies to monitor for leaks, fix them promptly, and phase out the practice of burning off natural gas into the atmosphere — a process called flaring.

More proof Methane spike due to US ecocidal Frackers.. Stopping it could delay Climate Catastrophe—The US led the world in multiplying levels of climate lethal methane emissions due also to the sponsored discontrol of the Fracking Revolution. With free loans and immunity from environmental laws ongoing fracking has left devastation of over one million abandoned methane leaking frack wells and toxic tailings ponds in the US, which will have to be cleaned up with our taxes. The industry has now morphed into the suicidal world plastics and LNG export boom in Texas and Louisiana….

They must also minimize venting, the deliberate release of natural gas, during certain processes. The new rule allows third parties, including environmental and watchdog groups, to monitor oil and gas sites and report violations.

Google forced to include this Gold Standard Proof that Covid Vaccines killing MILLIONS of us

“Data from US Medicare and the New Zealand Ministry of Health shows, BEYOND ANY DOUBT, that the COVID vaccines have killed millions”

Summary

It’s finally here: record-level data showing vaccine timing and death date. There is no confusion any longer: the vaccines are unsafe and have killed, on average, around 1 person per 1,000 doses.

It’s over. They’ve lost. The vaccines are unsafe. This data is the nail in the coffin. Gold standard, official records. There is no better ground truth than this. There is no comparable ground-truth data showing the vaccines are safe. Zero. There can be only one right answer.

You can read my “Is it safe?” MIT presentation slideshow here…… PDF here

It’s time for criminal charges to be filed against the NZ Ministry .. 21 hours ago — Thanks to the efforts of a courageous whistleblower, the entire world now knows, and can download, the data proving the COVID vaccines have killed over 10,000 people in New Zealand.

Executive summary

Today you will get to see the data that nobody wants you to see. FINALLY.

No State or country has ever released record-level public health data on any vaccine.

Privacy is not the reason for this; the data can be easily obfuscated (which we did on this data) so that no record entry would match that of any person, living or dead.

The reason the data is kept secret is simple: it would expose the fact that the COVID vaccines are unsafe, as well as all the vaccines that I have been able to get record-level data on.

Today, thanks to a courageous whistleblower who works at the New Zealand Ministry of Health, we have record-level information from a large population of all ages and are making it public for the first time in history.

Here is the Rumble video announcing the leak:

There was a YouTube link as well, but YouTube censored it within minutes of posting, just like we knew they would.

Just as you suspected, the COVID vaccines have killed millions of people worldwide, an estimated 1 death per 1,000 doses on average in a standard population.

And now we have the data to prove it.

The MIT slide presentation

You can read my “Is it safe?” MIT presentation 283 slides here.

I highly recommend reading the slides and/or watching the livestream. I tried to make the slides self-standing, but the livestream can be helpful in explaining some of the slides.

I also periodically dump a PDF version of the presentation to my skirsch.com web server.

The PDF version is searchable and you can copy/paste text from it (such as the access keys for the Wasabi server so you can download all the goodies).
