Former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne is a libertarian who did not vote for Donald Trump and has publicly criticized him: that said, he believes the 2020 election was rigged, and that that should be objectionable to every person who believes “just government derives its power from the consent of the governed.” Now, his upcoming film Deep Rig – set for release on June 16th – takes you behind the headlines to backroom scenes that determined whether or not the fraud would be exposed in time, and paints a portrait of Washington that will leave the reader asking, “Is this the end of our Constitutional Republic?” Source: Infowars.com

Palaszczuk at Townsville Stadium Photo YouTube Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has welcomed the decision to host the State of Origin in Townsville Stadium. The game on June 9, will be the first Origin ever held in a regional city. The Premier said delivering the game to Townsville is part of Queensland’s Economic Recovery Plan. “Our prayers have been answered,” the Premier said. Video starts at 2 Min 30sec  “To bring the game we love to the fans who love it most in their own stadium is truly special.  “If the ‘Queenslander’ chant puts the frighteners into the Blues, just wait till they hear it from North Queensland.” Operation Origin began last week when a COVID outbreak cast doubt on Melbourne being able to host Game One.  Negotiations with the NRL began and the Premier said she is delighted they have come to fruition. “We saw what Magic Round did for Brisbane,” the Premier said. “Hotels, pubs and restaurants were filled and cabbies reported their busiest weekend since COV...

ExxonMobil took it on the chin as it suffered stinging defeats at the hand's of radical climate activists during its annual shareholder's meeting yesterday. Efforts by the green hedge fund “Engine No. 1” to infiltrate Exxon’s Board of Directors succeeded when two of the outfit’s activist candidates, Gregory Goff and Kaisa Hietala, defeated standing Exxon board members. The hedge has been haranguing Exxon to get on board the “ green energy ” bandwagon and away from fossil fuels to fight global warming. Of the 10 resolutions put forward at the meeting, nearly half had at least tangentially to do with climate, including ones to force the company to report on lobbying, and on “environmental lobbying” in particular. Most of these passed despite leadership opposition. For its part, CFACT had a front-row seat to the Exxon theatrics. Committee representatives participated in the annual shareholders meeting along with its allies from the National Center for Public Policy Research and ...

The Commonwealth’s COVID-19 vaccination program will again expand in Victoria to include everyone aged 40 years and over. From tomorrow, Friday 28 May more than half of all Victorians will be eligible to receive either the Pfizer or AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines – helping protect themselves, their loved ones and our whole community. Victorians aged 40-49 years will be able to access to the Pfizer vaccine at state-run vaccination sites, in line with advice from ATAGI. People aged 40-49 years receiving the Pfizer vaccine must book an appointment by calling the Coronavirus Hotline on 1800 675 398 – and can do so now – this is essential as not all vaccination centres will have the Pfizer vaccine available. Victorians aged 50 years and over will continue to receive the AstraZeneca vaccine, either through a state-run vaccination centre or a participating GP clinic – as recommended by ATAGI. While many vaccination centres are accepting walk-in appointments for people aged 50 years and over, b...

  The Federal Court today dismissed a bid by a group of Australian teenagers seeking to prevent federal environment minister Sussan Ley from approving a coalmine extension in New South Wales. While the teens’ request for an injunction was unsuccessful , a number of important developments emerged during the court proceedings. This included new figures on the financial costs of climate change to young Australians over their lifetimes. An independent expert witness put the loss at between A$125,000 and A$245,000 per person. The calculation was a conservative one, and did not include health impacts which were assessed separately. The evidence was accepted by both the federal government’s legal team and the judge. That it was uncontested represents an important shift. No longer are the financial impacts of climate change a vague future loss – they’re now a tangible, quantifiable harm. Calculating climate costs The case involved a proposed extension to Whit...

More than 18,000 Queensland businesses affected by natural disasters have had their annual water licence fees waived to help them get back on their feet.   Minister for Water Glenn Butcher said approximately $1.5 million in water licence fees have been waived for the 2020-21 financial year in drought and disaster declared areas.   “In the wake of ex-Tropical Cyclone Niran, and as 67 per cent of Queensland continues to be in drought, our farmers are doing it tough,” Mr Butcher said.   “As the Palaszczuk Government delivers Queensland’s plan for economic recovery from the global COVID-19 pandemic, we are going to need our traditional strengths like agriculture. “That’s why we’re assisting 1000 agricultural businesses rebuild after ex-Tropical Cyclone Niran, by waiving around $90,000 in water licence fees across the affected region for the 2021-22 water year.   “From 1 March 2021, more than 17,000 businesses in drought-declared parts of the State will also have their an...

Today on TRUNEWS, host Edward Szall provides the latest in the global response to the COVID pandemic, including bribing kids with free ice cream if they take the vaccine. The team also looks at a recent interview w Nobel Prize winner AIDS pioneer Luc Montagnier, who passionately argues that the RNA vaccine is creating mutant variants meant to produce extreme symptoms and death.

 Joe Biden last week removed sanctions against Russian companies to allow completion of the massive Nord Stream 2 wind turbine and solar energy project so that Russia can supply this renewable energy abundance to U.S.-allied nations in western Europe. Gotta fight global warming and reverse climate change, don’t ya know!! Oh, wait. Let me rephrase that paragraph: President Joe Biden recently  removed  economic sanctions against Russian companies to allow completion of a massive Nord Stream 2  wind turbine and solar energy  GAS PIPELINE project so that Russia can supply this  renewable  FOSSIL FUEL energy abundance to U.S.-allied nations in western Europe.  Gotta fight global warming and reverse climate change, don’t ya know!! The opening paragraph, of course, is incorrect; the latter paragraph above is the accurate account of what occurred. This incident reveals so much about the political and media class in America, it is hard to know where to be...

COVIDSafe Measures To Keep Victorians Safe On the advice of public health experts, from 6pm tonight private gatherings in the home will be limited to five visitors per day, public gatherings will be limited to 30 people and face masks will need to be worn indoors, unless an exemption applies. The face mask requirement applies to everyone aged 12 years and older.  As public health officials work to pinpoint the source of these latest cases, additional COVIDSafe measures will be put in place across Greater Melbourne to help keep Victorians safe. These additional measures are an important extra precaution while we await the results of testing and undertake widespread contact tracing to stamp out the virus. Schools and workplaces will remain open with the current restrictions that are in place. Depending on the workplace, this includes COVIDSafe measures and in some cases, a density requirement. There are no changes to existing density rules. Victorians who live in Greater Melbourne an...

Home Solar Panels Installing solar panels is an easy way to lower your carbon footprint and cut electricity bills. But our recent research found there are many incentives to remove them prematurely, adding to Australia’s massive waste problem . Researchers predict Australia will accumulate 1 million tonnes of solar panel waste by 2047 — the same weight as 19 Sydney Harbour Bridges. But this number is likely to be higher, as we found people often choose to remove panels after just 10 to 12 years of use. This is much earlier than their estimated end-of-life age of 30 years (and potentially older ). Unfortunately, recycling is just a small part of the solution. So why is this happening, and what can we do about it? Australia’s shocking ‘material footprint’ Australians have heeded the call to increase renewable energy. The installed capacity of panels across Australia has increased dramatically from 25.3 megawatts in 2007 to 77,078 megawatts in 2017. Likewise, the rooftop s...

The Queensland Government will open 14 Community-Based Vaccination hubs by the end of July helping to make the COVID vaccine rollout easier. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the centres will be established to coincide with increased vaccine supply announced by the Federal Government. Members of the general public aged 40-49 who may want to receive a COVID-19 Pfizer vaccination will be able to register for vaccination. “Our job so far has been to vaccinate the 1a and 1b groups that include our workforce in hotel quarantine, health, police and other emergency services,” the Premier said. “Queensland Health has sufficient Pfizer stocks to continue that work and open up to the 40-49-year age group who may want to register to be vaccinated. “We do not want an ounce of vaccine to go to waste.” Four community-based vaccination locations have already been stood up across the Wide Bay and Mackay regions at: Central Queensland University City Campus (Mackay) Bundaberg TAFE Hervey Bay TAFE Mary...

Hydro to pump North Queensland jobs More than 900 construction jobs will be created in North Queensland with the state’s first pumped hydro storage project in almost forty years reaching financial close.  The Palaszczuk Government will invest $147 million to connect Genex’s Kidston Pumped Storage Hydro Project (K2-Hydro) to Queensland households and businesses. Treasurer and Minister for Investment Cameron Dick said Genex achieving financial close confirmed the status of Queensland’s nation-leading renewable energy credentials. “As part of our Economic Recovery Strategy to grow the renewable energy sector and the jobs that come with it, the Palaszczuk Government has played a crucial role in getting the Kidston Pumped Storage Hydro Project over the line,” the Treasurer said. “This decision will further secure our strong renewables future in North Queensland and will unlock hundreds of renewables jobs. “Beyond Kidston, the transmission infrastructure we are delivering has the potenti...

ISIS T oday, the United States is designating three individuals and one entity connected to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) to coincide with the 14th meeting of the Counter ISIS Finance Group, which plays a key role coordinating the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS’ efforts to disrupt the group’s generation and transfer of resources. Despite our defeat of ISIS’ territorial “caliphate” in Iraq and Syria, ISIS remains active and maintains connections to the financial system.  In countries throughout the Middle East, ISIS has relied on key money services business operators, like those designated today, that allow ISIS to obfuscate its transactions.  The Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS will continue to target ISIS’ illicit financial activities to include its disbursement of millions of dollars in cash reserves across the region. Alaa Khanfurah is being designated pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13224, as amended, for having assisted in, sponsored, or provided financia...
