The Bank of England is removing historical figures from banknotes and replacing with wildlife. They are currently running a public consultation on the wildlife shortlist. So on its next issue of banknotes, Winston Churchill, Jane Austen, JMW Turner will be replaced with the likes… pic.twitter.com/rshMcbol0g

New banknotes featuring King Charles went into circulation 2 years ago but they are only being used to replace worn and torn existing notes, ones with Queen Elizabeth remain official both there and in NZ.

DEFINITION OF MADNESS

This week I received from the Internet, on a social medium platform, a picture of a man walking through a paddock planted up with vegetables.

The caption read, ‘We are the only species that sprays toxic chemicals on to our food to prevent other creatures from eating it; then we go ahead and eat it ourselves? That must be the definition of Madness?’

It really makes one think and say, ‘yep that’s what happens commercially to the crops of vegetables that we then consume now days’.

In some homegrown produce also, gardeners use toxic chemicals then later eat the food which will have residues of the chemicals used.

Forget the withholding period which only applies to that period of time when the level of chemicals are at their highest residue.

There are two ways the chemicals get into the plant, firstly: absorbed through the leaves and secondly: washed down into the soil with rain or watering and taken up by the roots.

Plants that grow naturally in Nature normally suffer little damage from insects feeding on the plants and do not normally have any plant diseases.

Why? Well, in Nature a plant will be found more randomly not in groups of many, such as in a paddock full of cabbages.

Thus a plant is surrounded by many other types of plants and that helps to keep them hidden from insects. That same technique can be applied to your vegetables by growing several different vegetables all together mixed up.

Also the soil life in Nature is rich which helps make the plant healthy and less desirable to insects. Bear in mind that insect pests and plant diseases are Nature’s Cleaners. It is their job to find sickly plants and remove them to make way for healthy plants.

Plants communicate with each other when they are growing in a natural situation with rich soil life. Thus if a plant gets attacked by insects or diseases it sends out a Mayday and all plants in the area take notice and start producing their defense mechanisms to reduce or prevent damage to themselves.

 (We have written about how aspirin spray can be used to initiate plants’ defense systems and have the plants on high alert.)

So when and how did it all go wrong?

Firstly, realise that plants need phosphate (the primary usable form of phosphorus) because it is a critical macronutrient required for photosynthesis, root development, and genetic structure.

Phosphorus deficiency limits energy transfer and cell division, resulting in the plants typically exhibiting a dark, dull blue-green color, with older leaves developing distinct reddish, purplish, or bronze tints, particularly on the undersides. Fruit and seed yields are significantly reduced.

Primary Symptoms

Discolored Foliage: Leaves often become dark green and develop a reddish, purplish, or bronze pigmentation (due to anthocyanin buildup), usually starting on older, lower leaves.

Stunted Development: Plants appear spindly with shorter stems and smaller leaves because phosphorus is vital for cell proliferation.

Poor Root Systems: Because phosphorus is crucial for early root formation, deficient plants often have shallow, weak root systems, making them highly susceptible to drought.

Delayed Maturity: Flowering, fruit set, and grain filling are frequently delayed or diminished, leading to poor seed and fruit yields.

Necrosis: In severe or advancing cases, older leaves will curl, develop necrotic (dead) brown spots, and drop prematurely.

Natural Reactive Rock Phosphate is the answer to provide the phosphorus that plants need but even powdered down it takes along time in the soil broken down by microbes for the plants to be able uptake it.

It was discovered that reactive rock phosphate can be quickly broken down with acids such as sulfuric acid and this made the phosphorus readily available to plants.

Thus we invented ‘Super Phosphate.’ The problem is that it’s acidic and that kills the soil life.

Lack of soil life weakens the plants and makes them sickly which brings in Natures Cleaners, pests and diseases to take them out.

(Wallys BioPhos is broken down reactive rock phosphate through a special process using microbes instead of acids and actually increases the microbes populations in the soil.)

Many gardeners have found and reported a light sprinkling of Wallys BioPhos every few months can really perk up their garden plants. Try it if you don’t already do that.

Now do you understand the vicious circle that has been created?

Soil life is harmed, plants get sickly, pests and diseases attack them and we spray toxic chemicals onto the plants to keep them looking good, no holes or blemishes.

The chemical sprays used further destroy the beneficial soil life and worm populations.

Animals (stock) and ourselves eat the plants with toxic residues in them and we also eat the stock that has been eating the sickly, toxic plants.

Our health declines and we resort to pharmaceutical remedies to help relieve the health issues (but not cure them as there is  no money in cures)

Thus you have become part of the Madness and suffer accordingly over time.

If we detox regularly we will slow down the rapid aging process that the toxic food chain causes.

If we grow as much as able our own healthy food without the harmful fertilisers and chemical sprays we will stay younger looking longer, be much more physically healthy and mentally capable.

The modern slave works to earn money to buy unhealthy food which causes medical problems and expenses.

Back in the 1950’s and 1960’s our food chain was commercially grown (and much of our vegetables were home grown grown) without superphosphate but with Real Blood & Bone and animal manures.

The sulphur in our food chain from Real Blood & Bone was a daily natural detox as sulphur helps carry oxygen to our cells and they then dispel any chemicals/toxins they collect.

Sulfur-containing nutrients in the diet are genuinely involved in cellular “oxygen-related” energy biology and in detox/antioxidant pathways.

Sulfur is needed for glutathione production and other sulfur-dependent reactions, which help cells neutralize reactive chemicals and manage cellular clearance processes; thus you get healthier, anti-aging consequencesall by using Real Blood & Bone in your vegetable garden and if you’re not able to do so, then start daily taking of organic sulphur, MSM.

Stop the madness and get sulphur back into your body. Be Healthier and Stay Younger Longer.

Mr Na on X

Covid response Minister Chris Hipkins chaired a secret, unminuted August 2021 meeting with Jacinda Ardern, Grant Robertson, Andrew Little & Ashley Bloomfield to strip youth ‘vaccine’ warnings from public communications -= prioritizing uptake over safety and informed consent.

You can ask KCDC’s ‘governance team’ for a speaking slot (3 minutes) for ‘items on the Agenda’, to tell the Crs what additional cuts from your own household budget you’ll have to make so you can pay KCDC’s avaracious management sods with their salary needs, and for their pet projects and ideologies.

Speakers must book by e-mailing the Governance team by 12 midday the day before the meeting.  
You’ll need to provide:

• your name
• whether you’re representing an organisation
• which agenda item, if any, you wish to speak on
• whether you’re speaking to a written submission
• any written material supporting your position that you wish to share with councillors
• notice in advance if you intend to use a power point presentation

Don’t expect it to make any difference, though. At best the Crs with a real concern for those at the bottom of the economic heap might abstain, the rest will vote for this.

Below are the first two pages of its rates (taxes) and fees report — you can read the whole 6 pages here.

Polish PM Donald Tusk has called for a hard business line instead of empathy after the Ukrainian leader honored nationalist figures blamed for massacres of Poles.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has warned that Warsaw’s support for Kiev could become increasingly driven by hard national interests. The criticism follows Zelensky’s move to honor World War II-era Ukrainian nationalist paramilitaries responsible for massacres of Poles and Jews by naming a commando unit after them.

In May, Zelensky decreed that the Special Operations Center North would bear the honorary title ‘Heroes of the UPA,’ referring to the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), the armed wing of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN).

The OUN sought to establish an ethnically and religiously homogeneous Ukrainian state and collaborated with Nazi Germany during the early stages of the invasion of the Soviet Union. The UPA was formed in 1942 following a split between much of the OUN leadership and the Germans.

Ukrainian nationalists killed an estimated 100,000 Polish civilians in what is now western Ukraine from 1943-44. The massacres remain a major source of tension between Warsaw and Kiev.

We expect it pisses off most people whose ancestors perished under the Nazis or who fought them in allied armies and in resistance movements. Why does NZ continue to support this disgusting neo-Nazi regime? Ask your local MP that. —Eds

Two foreign flagged vessels heading to Russian ports were attacked in the Sea of Azov, Moscow has said.

Five Azerbaijani nationals have been killed and three injured in drone strikes on grain vessels in the Sea of Azov, Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry has said. The attacks were later confirmed to have been carried out by Ukrainian forces.

The Beliz-flagged Natra and Palau-flagged Zirkon were sailing from Türkiye to the Russian port of Rostov-on-Don when they were attacked by Ukrainian drones early Friday, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Attacks on the vessels resulted in “deaths and injuries,” including among Azerbaijani nationals, according to the ministry.

Sailors aboard the ships were aided by a Russian vessel sailing nearby and a Russian FSB border guard patrol, the statement said. The incident “once again proves the terrorist nature of the Kiev regime that increasingly targets civilians and civilian infrastructure” in its attacks, the ministry stated.

A video shared on social media purports to show the aftermath of the attack on one of the vessels. It shows the deck covered in debris and the command bridge virtually destroyed in the strike.

Top Ukrainian drone commander Robert Brovdi later confirmed the attacks, claiming on Telegram that unmanned aerial vehicles targeted five vessels in the Sea of Azov overnight Thursday into Friday. He accused the ships of transporting military cargo and fuel and of preparing to “steal” Ukrainian grain.

Ukrainian forces previously targeted vessels carrying Russian grain. In April, a cargo ship sank in the Sea of Azov after a drone strike that killed one crew member.

Kiev has intensified its long-range attacks on Russia since mid-March, launching hundreds of drones on an almost daily basis. Moscow has condemned the strikes, calling them terrorist attacks and accusing Ukraine of indiscriminately targeting civilian infrastructure and populated areas.

Ukrainian raids have caused significant civilian casualties. In a recent incident, 21 people, most of them teenage girls, were killed and dozens more injured when a college dormitory in Starobelsk, Russia was attacked in a multi-wave Ukrainian drone attack on May 22.

And there’s been another Nato ‘own goal’ with an explosion in a Romanian port—

A Ukrainian maritime drone exploded in the Romanian port of Constanta on Friday morning, and three more detonated offshore, prompting a major emergency response and an evacuation of the area.

The unmanned boat, filled with explosives, was discovered stuck in an anti-pollution barrier several hundred meters from the oil terminal area, close to the headquarters of the Romanian Agency for Saving Human Life at Sea.

The first vessel resembled a Ukrainian MAGURA V5 maritime drone used by Kiev’s military intelligence, which can carry hundreds of kilograms of explosives, travel long distances, and often operate in swarms, Commander Sandu Mateiu told local news outlet Digi24.

With the sand spit in the centre forming the Scientific Reserve.

Maree Buscke speaks with Stephen Pattinson, a New Zealand architect and Pinehaven resident who has spent over a decade challenging flood maps he believes are seriously flawed. Stephen says the baseline model treats forested hills as if they were already developed, massively overstating flood risk — yet real flood events consistently fail to match predictions.

Reader Izzy says: Very relevant, and it got my blood pressure going once again with the mention of Jacobs and Councils reliance on these extreme modelling scenarios, let alone all the bureaucratic whitewashing that goes on — so many similarities to our issues here on the coast and all around the country.
