Congrats on ushering in “Black Mirror” style totalitarianism.

Section 25E(1)(c) makes “material or conduct that encourages or promotes hostile attitudes towards women or gender equality” a harm platforms must keep from every user they can’t prove is an adult.

Section 25E(1)(f) adds “any other material or conduct ... that may cause serious harm to children.”

And your team added in the bill labeling the encouraging of someone to “take their own life” as “seriously harmful” — I take it that's so you can censor people who wish you dead — except “in the context of voluntary assisted dying.” Sick.

Oh, and the evidence that your Social Services Minister cited on "Insiders" that it takes “an average of 23 minutes” to be fed “violent misogynistic content” is garbage science. There was a Dublin City University experiment with ten fake accounts on ten phones.

Totalitarianism by the stupid class to prevent anyone from criticizing you. You're an embarassment.

Climate policies have consequences

EU pays 1.9x US prices and 3x China and India

UK has the costliest electricity in the world

🇬🇧🇦🇫 New UK data shows HUGE disparities in sexual-offence conviction rates by nationality, and Afghanistan stands out dramatically...

The Economist's analysis shows Afghan nationals with a sexual-offence conviction rate roughly 7-8 times the British population rate.

People from the Middle East and North Africa are shown at roughly 3-4x, while Sub-Saharan Africa is ~2–3x.

EU nationals fall below the British rate, with East Asia and Oceania lower still.

UK, WAKE UP!!!!

Wow, this is what Yemen looked like in the 1960s under British rule. That was over half a century ago, but it looked decades more advanced than Yemen does today.

It’s almost unbelievable compared to what the country has become. And it’s a testament to how quickly a country can collapse once Islam reigns supreme.

@Uber_Support what’s your normal response time to DMs?

It's difficult to treat New Zealand as a normal ally within the American alliance system, when they denigrate and punish Israeli citizens for defending themselves and their country from Iranian-controlled terrorists.

Hamas didn't just murder Israelis on October 7, but also American citizens, and Israel's push to utterly eradicate Hamas is straightforwardly and deeply in America's national security interests.

New Zealand should be cooperating with Israel in its campaign rather than engaging in these self-indulgent leftwing attacks.

Remember the Māori MPs doing the haka and ripping a copy of a bill in Parliament?

They were protesting a bill that would give equal rights to all New Zealanders and remove Māori special status and preferential rights.

So… they’re literally fighting 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩 equality.

[Wide Awake Media @wideawake_media]

Award-winning journalist Alex Newman provides a PERFECT summary of the climate scam:

"The notion that CO2 is pollution is absolutely preposterous... The idea that [it's] going to destroy the planet or change the temperature of the Earth is totally ludicrous."

"But from a totalitarian perspective, if you can convince people that CO2 is pollution, there's no human activity that doesn't result in CO2 emissions, including living, including dying, turning on a light switch."

"Every single aspect of your life, then, if we submit to the idea that CO2 is pollution, then comes under the regulatory control of the people who claim to be saving us from pollution."

Hi again, Mike. 👋

Do you like math? I do. So, let's run some numbers.

The Al Dhafra solar photovoltaic (PV) park, located in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, has 2,100-MW of installed power and covers 5,233.7 acres of land (21.18 km²). It is said to generate 4,700 GWh (4.7 TWh) of electricity in a year, enough to power 200,000 homes, which means each home purchases roughly 0.0235 GWh of electricity per year.

https://t.co/qAwJVTYN6j

This means that the solar array has a power capacity of 0.255, meaning that it operates at full power just a sliver more than a quarter of the year.

According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), nuclear power had an average power capacity of 0.933 last year in the U.S., and these figures are pretty standard with what you'd expect.

https://t.co/et9UduDhol

A single 1,000-MW nuclear facility occupying roughly 832 acres of land operating with a 93.3% capacity factor would be enough to generate 8,173.08 GWh of electricity, enough to power 370,769 homes, which is 170,769 more homes than would be powered by that solar farm, and it would occupy 6.3× less land area, sparing the landscape and wildlife habitat.

Why do you and the other WEF propagandists insist on promoting unsustainable and environmentally destructive electricity generation technologies?

[Wide Awake Media @wideawake_media]

"It's just total nonsense."

Energy expert Alex Epstein debunks the bare-faced lie that we're living through the hottest period in Earth's history.

"They're trying to make our CO2 levels today, and our temperatures today, seem unprecedented... We're one tenth the CO2 that we've been throughout much of the history of the planet."

"We're warming slowly, at a cold time in the planet's history, where far more people die of cold than of heat, and where we're safer from both heat and cold because of energy from fossil fuels."

"It just makes no sense, unless you really don't care about human beings, which is my conclusion about a lot of the leaders of this movement."

The "far right" used to mean skinheads, neo-Nazis and white supremacists.

Now it means 1990s liberals who believe in well-managed migration, being careful with big pharma and women without penises.

[Robby Starbuck @robbystarbuck]

The American College of Pediatricians just put out a 🔥🔥🔥 statement calling out all the major medical associations by name for pushing the gender transition craze on kids.

They ask for these groups to "IMMEDIATELY stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex."

The full @ACPeds statement ⬇️

"Therefore, given the recent research and the revelations of the harmful approach advocated by WPATH and its followers in the United States, we, the undersigned, call upon the medical professional organizations of the United States, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the  Endocrine Society, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry to follow the science and their European professional colleagues and immediately stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex.  Instead, these organizations should recommend comprehensive evaluations and therapies aimed at identifying and addressing underlying psychological co-morbidities and neurodiversity that often predispose to and accompany gender dysphoria. We also encourage the physicians who are members of these professional organizations to contact their leadership and urge them to adhere to the evidence-based research now available.”

They link to MANY studies on their site: https://t.co/Rjw4geZVvI

"I think the dam is finally cracking."

Award-winning journalist, Alex Newman, explains how the "man-made climate change" narrative is finally crumbling.

"Three new peer-reviewed papers, published in major prestigious scientific journals... completely undermine the alleged scientific consensus on man-made global warming."
