The first Christmas for your baby is always so special, even though they have no clue as to what is going on. I hope you have had a special family day with lots of love, sharing and laughter. Christmas wishes from a West Australian luvining in Thailand.

What a beautiful family, Rebekah 💛 Merry Christmas to you three 🌲 Data Centres being built everywhere. Authorities are in need of places to store enormous amount of data. Why? These data centres also use large amounts of water and electricity

Congratulations Rebekah, what a beautiful picture!

Big things coming up this year, the collapse of the net zero ponzi due to wind droughts and the revival of the ideas of Karl Popper and Jacques Barzun.

Merry Xmas to you Rebekah. Isaac Golden has written many books on the subject and used to be the advisor on Homeopathy to the Australian Government. He also went to Cuba twice and did a homeopathic study on immunisation against leptospirosis a bacterial infection.

Merry Christmas to you Rebekah. I've been a big fan of pretty much all of your previous dives into topics and look forward to reading whatever you produce in the future. I would love to hear more from what you've learned in recent times regarding your biggest project of all, leading up to and following giving birth to your child. I'm certain you would have done more research than almost anyone. Even just to recommend some good sources of information.

Thanks Roger, I do intend to share some of my research as there’s so much to cover when you’re expecting (or have) a baby and I’m sure people would like to have concise resource lists and summaries available to them. Merry Christmas ☺️

Merry Christmas Rebekah

With now 3 small grandsons, having had 2 sons ourselves, my advice is to appreciate every moment with your daughter and family.

There is nothing else in life that comes close, and everything else can wait.

Yes enjoy the special time🤗. When you get back I read recently that 6.7 trillion was spent on the wellness industry and 1.6 trillion on Big Pharma last year. Yet our whole medical system funded by the Government goes to Big Pharma. I think it is time we provided alternative options such as intravenous vitamin C instead of antibiotics. Homeopathic immunisation instead of normal schedule. Alternatives for cancer etc etc.

Merry Christmas Jenny. It would certainly be interesting to explore the scientific basis for a homeopathic immunisation plan... something I've dipped into but still have lots to learn about.

The Ratchet.

In response to the Bondi attacks, politicians are predictably restricting freedoms, rather than even talking about Islamic extremism.

But why was it predictable? Why is our polity configured to react the same way to everything?

Rebekah Barnett's avatar

Well the ratchet came up recently amongst discussion with friends, it's undeniably a problem. Would be great to see the government do something useful on this issue but they seem to have only one or two hammers for every nail. And, Merry Christmas to you too.
