The female mind cannot comprehend this

This is over a year old, but I confess I wasn’t aware of it. I must say, I had thought that the ban on ICE (internal combustion engined) bikes had been announced in conjunction with that for cars.

Stuart Fillingham’s bike channel I’ve only recently come across, confirmation of how long I’ve not been paying much attention to things motorcycle, despite continuously owning at least one bike since 1977.

I’m feeling genuinely sad, as an understatement, that this ban on petrol powered motorcycles marks the unequivocal end of an era of “the freedom of the open road”, which was afforded to people of all ages, but particularly young people, for around the last century. One of the many advantages of motorcycles, unless you buy something so large that it sacrifices it’s main advantage in traffic, is the ability to weave your way through static jams and out the other side.

Again, so long as you don’t buy a behemoth like a Victory, or ride around like Valentino Rossi, you’ve the manoeuvrability and economy to get you around quite economically. If you’re willing to put up with very limited power, some small engined machines cost peanuts to run, especially bought 5th hand. These also offer surmountable challenges to a young person, forced to learn how to perform basic maintenance (I’ve never had my bikes serviced by a bike shop, because I couldn’t afford to & very soon didn’t need to).

If what was going on was a combination of climate change and limitations on availability of so-called fossil fuels, small capacity motorcycles would be a very helpful, partial solution.

But they’re being banned too, in 2030.

The only explanation for the behaviour of our government is that it, along with the governments of scores of other countries, have been captured by (or worse, wilfully collaborated with) supranational forces such as we see manifest in the WEF (you’ll be aware that there are multiple other supranational groups who have been operating for long periods of time, about whom we never hear on our captured media & it is likely to they’re the source of WEF’s “marching orders”.

I don’t know how far down the rabbit hole Stuart Fillingham has got, but he’s a bright person, a former beat policeman (remember those?) & lifelong biker. He knows that climate change as an existential crisis is just a lie, but I don’t know what else he’s worked out.

He has pointed out something that I’d neglected to realise, and that’s that the imminent loss of access to cheap transport (like small bikes, or Geoff Buys Cars-style, near end of life ICE cars) means that the rural poor will largely not have access to employment. I don’t think any political party has yet pointed this out, and it’s a devastating problem. I imagine it’s objective is to force people off the land and into inadequate, still expensive, rentals of multiple occupation.

Ps: I wrote one post, which was deleted as I watched, seconds after posting it.

“Maloney, who was trusted to work on classified contracts for the U.S. government, took advantage of his high position at GTRI to line his own pockets at the public’s expense,” said U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan. “In addition to losing his job and his top-secret security clearance, Maloney is now facing a prison sentence and will be required to pay more than $1.9 million in restitution.”

This is outrageous but of course not unexpected.

Sweepstake on the acceptance of the motion to dismiss by the judge?

Medical censorship 🇨🇦

Ottawa surgeon Dr. Miklos Matyas, a head and neck surgeon, has been ordered to take a remedial course on ethics and boundaries after sharing with several patients his controversial opinions about the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.
Dr. Matyas recently lost his appeal of the order issued by the complaints committee of the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons.
The complaints panel heard evidence Matyas cast doubt on the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, promoted the use of ivermectin, and suggested that surgical masks were ineffective at preventing the disease’s transmission.

“Unadaptable” is the word that was most frequently used to describe Frank Herbert’s Dune and not without good reason.  People who have had no trouble at all with Tolkien’s Silmarillion have struggled mightily to plow their way through Dune.  Herbert stood the convention of “show don’t tell” on its head and mostly just told.
