Australia Seeks to Ban Teens Use of Internet!

Australia: Study Monitors Impact of World’s First Social Media Ban on Teens! (14.10.2025)

In fact, I was taught “key-boarding” (on manual typewriters) from the late 1970s at school in the UK, and started using electric typewriters and word-processors from the early 1980s. Therefore, developed States have been conditioning their young population since the 1970s to be computer literate and to depend physically and psychologically upon computer technology. Since 2010, touch-screen and ipad technology has moved on and caused a much stronger cementing between young minds and the available technology. This is why I thoroughly disagree with any arbitrary form of Statist “banning” of technology that negatively affects the well-being of young people – who possess no political ability to fight such a ban. Such a ban is cruel, and counter-productive. Indeed, I believe such a ban is a form of child abuse – as when a young person is forcibly separated from their devices – very real psychological and physical pain is experienced.

Has Covid-19 Altered the physiology of the Brain?

UK: Has Covid-19 Damaged Human Perception? (28.9.2025)

Even so, the spread of the popularity of the far-right cannot be merely because of its incoherent ideology. The popularity of this ridiculous mode of intellectual dysfunctionality cannot be because it possesses any inherent credibility. It seems that rather this upsurge in popularity derives from an alteration in the perception of the general public. It could be that Covid-19 – and/or the vaccination – might include the propensity to alter how the thought processes operate. This is probably part of the so-called “Long Covid” symptoms that millions are reporting. The NHS has no answer to this other than “put up with it” – or “take various types of pain-killers”. The deficient imagination of the far-right would have you believe that vaccinations “cause” the illnesses they are designed to prevent. This indicates the inverted thinking of the far-right – and it is difficult to see what relevance such stupidity would possess for real-world action. Covid-19 is deadly and the vaccination has saved millions from immediate death. What we are living with now is the side-effects of the illness – and perhaps the new type of vaccine that has been deployed (I understand it alters DNA).

Australians Take Illicit Drugs to Numb the Pain of Capitalism!

Australia: Wastewater Analysis Reveals Record-High Levels of Illicit Drug-Taking! (15.8.2025)

ACIC Chief Executive Officer Heather Cook said in a statement that the consumed volume of methylamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and MDMA had an estimated street value of 11.5 billion Australian dollars (7.4 billion U.S. dollars), with methylamphetamine accounting for 8.9 billion Australian dollars (5.7 billion U.S. dollars).

“Serious and organized crime groups exploit Australia’s high demand for illicit drugs and are focused on maximising profit at the expense of the community’s security and wellbeing,” she said.

ACIC said its modelling suggests that increasing consumption of methylamphetamine, cocaine and MDMA will continue through to 2027, while the heroin market is not expected to change significantly for the next two years.

CSA: Piles of Thread-Bare Confederates at Antietam [Sharpsburg] – Notes on Their Sacrifice! (31.1.2025)

The Union Army paid the farmer $1 per dead Confederate body and the farmer made $60 out of the deal. He dug a new well in a different place for the cost of $2 – making a wartime profit of $58. No one knows the names of these Confederate soldiers – and if it was not for a report being made by the Union soldiers concerned – no one would know about these men today. Of course, there was great bravery on both sides – but the spin placed on the war by the winners has skewed how the Confederacy is viewed today. These Confederate men (and boys) advanced into the Union fire with the utmost discipline and determination. They believed 100% in their cause – which was for the freedom of their individual countries (termed “States”). At the time, this war was not only about slavery – but has been made ONLY about slavery since 1865. Many believed the federalisation of the United States was a betrayal of the 1776 War of Independence – and nothing short of a great evil!

World Insights: Fentanyl – Solely A Homegrown US problem – So Why Blame China? (19.7.2023)

CHEAP, ABUNDANT STREET DRUGS

Fentanyl and its derivatives sufentanil, alfentanil and remifentanil are all synthetic phenypiperidine drugs, which are synthetic opioid receptor agonists.

A painkiller for countless patients, fentanyl has many side effects. The drug has gradually become a menace to social security across the United States, a society long plagued by opioid addiction and abuse.

Statistics by the Council on Foreign Relations in April indicated that opioids, primarily fentanyl, are the leading cause of U.S. overdose deaths, which have roughly quadrupled over the last ten years for which data is fully available. In 2021, the death toll surged to 80,411, more than 10 times the number of U.S. military service members killed in the post-9/11 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

There have been three waves of opioid abuse in U.S. society, with fentanyl being the “main character” of the third wave.

Along with six friends, she embarked on a venture selling handicrafts created by people with disabilities in the region. Their offerings include exquisite works of embroidery and intricate paper-cutting.

Similarly, chef Li Yuanyuan from Guizhou had a heartfelt desire to extend support to others. On the national day of assisting disabled persons, which is observed on the third Sunday of May every year, he would distribute the dishes he prepared among fellow community members with disabilities.

“Before reaching where I am today, I received immense help and encouragement. Therefore, I am determined to pay it forward, to assist and inspire others. Only through such actions can my life acquire true meaning,” said Li, reflecting on his journey.
