Today's Must-Reads - 12 February 2023
A selection of the latest news, studies, reports and articles
We all like likes. Who doesn’t like getting as many likes as possible on their articles!? However, over the next month, I would appreciate if you would like the must-reads so I can get a good indication of how useful they are. So please like if you enjoy the must-reads, not only because I’m desperate for admiration but mainly so I can see how many people actually read them! Thanks!
I spend a lot of time each day gathering together new information and interesting articles. I then pick one or two of the most interesting topics and write about them. However, that leaves a lot of missed out information that I’m not sharing.
Below is a summary of all the latest articles and information that I’ve found. Today, this is a slimmed down version for all subscribers but will be for paid subscribers only a lot of the time in the future.
Please consider taking out a paid subscription because it enables me to spend longer reporting on the news that isn’t, but should be reported.
Climate Change
A dangerous precedent for private companies or governments to interfere with the planet’s atmosphere has begun. Or has it been going on for a while? The Telegraph reports on a Mexico-based startup going rogue and creating mini-volcanos to release sulphur particles into the air.

Covid Lockdowns & Mandates
In New York City, not only were unvaccinated teachers fired but they also had their fingerprints sent to the FBI. They were tagged as trouble makers and potential threats to the public. The teachers are now suing.
Brownstone says RIP to American public schools. Disappearing children and teachers who refuse to go back to work are all contributing to the destruction of a very fragile system.
Economy/Energy/Finance
Mish Talk discusses the US budget deficit in 2023 vs 2022 which has more than doubled in the first four months.
The Blindspot produces a comprehensive critique of “Britcoin”, the new CBDC which will be in use within the next five years.
Health
Following in Canada’s path, the US is racing towards a euthanasia free-for-all. Seven more states are looking at legalising assisted suicide and deadly doses are being prescribed for anorexics.
Politics
Montana is apparently trying to enact legislations that would ban the teaching of “scientific theory” from public school. Only “scientific fact” will be allowed to be taught.
Former Twitter Exec, Yoel Roth, told a House GOP hearing that “unrestricted free speech paradoxically results in less speech, not more”.
Peter Hitchens asks is the liberal elite’s odd obsessions with the Right helping to create a British Stasi? This is where the government sees it as their right and duty to snoop on conservative thought and speech, blaming it on ‘right-wing extremism’.
Consumer tracking tech in development wants to see where you’re travelling, how you’re travelling, what you’re eating and what you’re consuming. All for your own good of course.
Ukraine
Having run out of our own weapons, Britain is planning to manufacture weaponry and military vehicles in Ukraine. The joint venture is being discussed by senior members of the UK defence industry.
Vaccines

World
Shocking footage from Turkey where the land literally tore apart.
Montana should be teaching children the difference between scientific theory and fact and getting kids to understand how to understand the difference between the two. Though given most adults including scientists don't seem to be able to differentiate, that's not going to be an easy task.
I have a fresh joke for you, out of Germany, have no reference, just heard a video, but get this:
Vax status of the deceased does officially _not_ belong to the parameters recorded - for data privacy protection reasons ("Datenschutz", a formerly very important concept in Germany w.r.t. to the living, in the B.C. era: Before Corona).
Wheras, last year, every little dipshit could harrass and discriminate against you and you could be fired, you would have to have the unvaxd marker in your face etc - now data privacy is important - because DEAD people care so much about that?
It has, of course, nothing to do with trying to obfuscate likely causes of excess deaths or anything.
