Well, you outlasted me. Congratulations’: Former SA attorney-general shares his Parkinson’s battle

 https://www.indailysa.com.au/news/just-in/2026/02/16/well-you-outlasted-me-congratulations-former-sa-attorney-generals-shares-his-parkinsons-battle

Interesting news article after reading the previous post. Getting old is not for cissies that’s for sure, and illness can happen to anyone. My father in law had this disease but I don’t know how long he had it for or if he was on medication. It wasn’t something he spoke about, and I just hope that my husband is not going to have this one day. It’s only a small percentage of people that inherit from a family member. But the risk is double if you have a parent or sibling with Parkinson’s. 

I do feel that our health is much better with exercise and a healthy diet without processed foods, but for many that can be quite difficult to do, due to the high cost of living nowadays.

ALISON SANDY: Gerard Baden-Clay, Tyrone Thompson and how coercive controllers kill their women

 https://7news.com.au/podcasts/alison-sandy-gerard-baden-clay-tyrone-thompson-and-how-coercive-controllers-kill-their-women-c-21611537?fbclid=IwY2xjawP8vvJleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETJKZXdQaHQyWFZSaGNWUjJVc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHjBQDcpvOHSM8RSJu46VG9bNqKANyg65TIP32GncH-HCTiv-eZhsKBPs5qU0_aem_BabcrpKCzhnUXYQbQR2_mA

This makes my blood boil, how many more women have to suffer or die because no one believes them? Few people will step in to help, and the legal system is ingrained with misogyny. This article doesn't point out the warning signs though, it would be very helpful if it did. 

Things to watch for like changes in mood of the perpetrator, comments, micro expressions around the mouth and eyes, antisocial behaviour such as constantly not wanting to go out somewhere with you, not letting you go out with friends, preventing your friends from visiting. Preventing you seeing your family, constantly monitoring your activity, criticism, controlling what you wear and how you look. Controlling how you shop, whether it is for groceries or clothes, it doesn't matter what you are buying it's about the power over you. Absolute power, domination and control is what it is all about. This starts from the moment you meet and start dating, so be vigilant. You are targeted immediately by the predator mindset of such individuals. They recognise vulnerability instantly as that is what they are shopping for in a woman, to subjugate and dominate. 

In social settings how does the man behave around others and how does he treat you? Does he "jokingly" poke fun at you, knock your cooking, knock what you say, knock how you look or dress in front of other people? Does he criticise you in front of others? These behaviours start not long after you meet and will escalate. Watch out for sudden moody outbursts or giving you the silent treatment for no valid reason, or biting sarcasm and invalidating you as a person, as a woman, as an adult with your own autonomy. You do not need permission from anyone to be you! 

Learn to love yourself, respect yourself and do not let others tell you what you should think, say or do or act. Don't let anyone tell you what you should wear, except if it is something that will attract violent men like this to you.  

Women need to factor that in for personal safety, it's common sense because some men think it is ok to attack you because of the way you look and dress and how your body looks. They deem you as public property to be used. 

Let's face it this is learned behaviour it doesn't just happen out of the blue. Environmental exposure from a very young age shapes the mind to all sorts of experiences and a child's mind is like a computer as it absorbs everything it sees and hears. This is not an ideal world, and women need to stop thinking that they can go where they want, alone and dress how they want also. 

That is unrealistic in this world of violence against women. Violence is increasing, not decreasing, so learn to read the subtle cues, and when introduced to his family, look at his parents and siblings behaviour, there are most definitely subtle signs than many ignore.  In a busy social setting like a family gathering it can be difficult to pick up on these warnings, it can take a while to notice some signs.

Women in these families tend to be very guarded, watch their eyes though, are they looking to their husband or partner, father, brother or a male relative to see if they are being watched before they speak? That is a red flag make a note of these things. Some women though will defend that abuser and if you speak out they will turn on you for doing so. 

This is a huge emotional minefield and you will not have loyal support because everyone looks after themselves and closes rank on you. Friends may drop you because they don't want to get involved too. 

 From this you then enter the toxic world of the legal system that will put you under the microscope and character destroy you, making you out to be the problem. It is a horrific situation all round when it comes to violent crimes against women and girls and not enough is done to prevent this. Tougher laws as a deterrent is only one small part in stopping this abuse, holding men accountable for their actions, educating children from starting school and following that through into adulthood reinforcing that education, but it still will not stop the violence. Men have to want to stop being violent and abusive if it is in their nature to be violent.  

Alex correctly predicted Angus Taylor being the leader of the Australian Liberal Party

Here we are Angus Taylor is now the new leader of the Liberal Party the NLP coalition as predicted in October 2025 for the 2026 Australian psychic predictions.

Don’t expect him to be in office very long either the NLP are in a total shambles and require a hard reset to have any semblance of credibility in leadership, and the clock is ticking.

Rare Roman altars acquired for the nation will go on display in the autumn

What a find, I intuitively felt that this was on the East coast of Scotland before I read the article. There was a paywall on the original post, so I googled the subject and found this article. 

I’ll love ancient history of the UK as there is an incredible amount of history on such a small island. Plus it’s my homeland. 

Escape from Fukushima: Pig-boar hybrids reveal a genetic fast track in the wake of nuclear disaster

 https://phys.org/news/2026-02-fukushima-pig-boar-hybrids-reveal.html

What a horrible disaster this was, and, there is a lot that we still don’t know or understand about the affects of radiation on our bodies or animals bodies for that matter. It’s interesting that a rapid reproduction cycle started, obviously to ensure the survival of the species and create a new hybrid species.  Comparing this to Chernobyl though, Chernobyl is the world’s worst radiation contamination and children were the worst affected especially under 15 years old. A seven fold increase of DNA mutations in the children of liquidators in the area. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_the_Chernobyl_disaster#:~:text=One%20study%20identified%20a%20sevenfold,in%20the%20frequencies%20of%20germline

The effects of radiation of the Chernobyl disaster. We still have to find out what happened to the people exposed to radiation from Zaporizhzhia. This is not from weapons just regular nuclear power stations, but just imagine the horror of nukes being used in warfare the nightmare would be off the scale. 

Nuclear weapons should never be allowed, because of the enormous damage done that will last a very long time. It is one of the most evil inventions ever created. To allow such a weapon to exist whether it’s depleted uranium tipped bullets or rounds/shells to a full on nuclear bomb, is totally unacceptable for all of humanity. When you see the damage that can happen from just using nuclear energy for medical purposes or to generate electricity. Poorly maintained nuclear facilities are a perfect example of the dangers of nuclear energy. Then the decommissioned nuclear reactors if they are not sufficiently secured to prevent a leak in the years ahead. How do the world experts propose to solve the dilemma of nations that cut corners in keeping nuclear facilities safe from leaks and cracks due to poor construction of these plants? 

Dementia cases surge in Australia prompting urgent calls for action

 https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/wellbeing/dementia-cases-surge-in-australia-prompting-urgent-calls-for-action/news-story/75bd23adb01e82bd3bd7f95607c95ad0

Are some doctors really thick or just arrogant pigs? Childhood dementia exists as well as early adult dementia, so why are some doctors so ignorant of early adult dementia in the 30's and 40's age group or even 50's. It shows a lack of knowledge on the disease on their part. Do they even bother keeping up with medical research and discoveries? 

Hazel Hawke, wife of the late Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke, was diagnosed with this terrible disease early too, and that was well publicised in the media although she was in her early 60’s. This seems to me like the usual misogyny and arrogance in the way women are treated by doctors, speaking from personal experience. 

Doctors need to be reminded that age is irrelevant when it comes to dementia, never assume anything because that is how serious mistakes happen. It’s more prudent to check out the patient thoroughly than end up being sued. 

Recently in the news menopause has been linked to dementia too, I myself have been seeing a gerontologist for memory loss and loss of speech. That was put down to stress, but I didn’t feel that was correct. I feel the tests are not good enough and need to be updated. 

 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9qpp1g5ylvo Menopause link to dementia 

Fibromyalgia has an effect on the memory too, and I have had fibromyalgia for over 20 years. So I have been very mindful, no pun intended of the fact that dementia is on the rise and most people my age will have this terrible disease. The modern diet must play a part in this disease too, so we must rethink what we eat and stop eating processed foods. Perhaps a closer look at for ever chemicals and plastics in our bodies and the effects on the brain too. 

Senior Liberals downplay prospect of leadership spill and urge colleagues ‘get on with the job’

No way will she last in the hot seat, I  expected this to happen in December but it has been happening in the background. I don’t actually think young Angus will last too long either, but that’s for another day. Meanwhile Australia is getting flushed down the toilet 🚽 by the ALP goons because there are no real men in politics in the past 30 years at least.

Menopause linked to Alzheimer's-like brain changes

 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9qpp1g5ylvo

Ladies please read this because many doctors are unaware of this and stress can make things worse. A healthy diet and limiting junk food, smoking and alcohol consumption may be beneficial as well as getting the right amount of vitamins and minerals in your diet daily. Genetics does also play a part in the risk of Alzheimer’s. Hopefully there will be medical breakthroughs in the next 10 years. This is one of the most terrifying things that can happen to a person, and the heartache for families watching their loved ones suffer. 

How the Atlas Network is shaping your life, even if you've never heard of it

 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-26/atlas-network-mont-pelerin-society-neoliberal-think-tanks/105700628

It’s called picking up the bullshit stick and walking with it or the old Jedi mind f**k. The ordinary citizens of the world were never in the position to influence anyone, and certainly not politicians, the clergy or anyone else of influence. This is a rich man’s creation just like communism is, be wary of anything with “ism” attached to it because it’s all the same poo and a different shovel. It’s all about power over the masses and manipulating the minds of idiots in powerful positions like politics, business and education, who also have a desire to manipulate and control people. Look how easily Karl Marx impressed politicians in the UK and the US. Too easy because they are no rocket scientists, just a collective of cunning rats out to look after themselves at the expense of humanity. 

Talk about using the dripper method to get into the psyche of would be intellectuals, this is appealing to their ego’s so of course they will lap it up. They don’t want to look foolish or ignorant when someone smarter comes along and blows smoke in their faces, so they get onboard with it. Power baby, power! 

These individuals don’t like to be criticised or told they are wrong or they have a total meltdown. This whole thing is a narcissistic obsession and highly toxic. It’s even better when you can peddle an ideology and get paid for it by the tax payers, so why wouldn’t they exploit fools.

To be honest I just can’t understand why people can’t see this, well actually they don’t want to see it, because it makes them uncomfortable and they may be ignored by their friends and colleagues if they discuss such things. Yet they are happy with their child changing gender, just like domestic violence was acceptable in the past and still is with some people. This world is the devils playground after all and nobody wants to change that.

Lake George hides an earthquake fault zone, and scientists are using your road noise to see it

 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-22/lake-george-earthquake-fault-zone-anu-research-map/106119740

Very interesting information on Canberra region’s Lake George, which is famous as a disappearing lake. 

And haunted too, many people have had scary experiences driving by Lake George. 

I remember an earthquake tremor back in the early 2000’s. I thought it was a truck in the street, as we had a truck driver living up the street from us. I was reading in bed one summer night and I suddenly felt the rumble and never thought anything of it, until my husband came through and asked did I feel the earth tremor. 

Tinsel and Home Alone back in style as TikTok seeks comfort in #90sChristmas

 https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/dec/20/tiktok-90s-christmas-trend-tinsel-home-alone

I think most people would reminisce about their childhood Christmas experiences regardless of age or era. Decorations  from their parent’s  or grandparents homes are usually treasured memories, and many people may want to recreate that nostalgia. This is a personal thing, I know that I do, I loved my paternal grandmother’s Christmas decorations and the 1950’s and 60’s fairy lights that came in all sorts of different colours styles and each bulb was different. There was always the testing of the fairy lights every year too, and without fail one or two would have burned out. 

Then it was a rush to the shops to get replacements. Just one light bulb not working would cause the set of lights not to light up. There were Santa faces, churches, reindeers, bud shaped bulbs of various colours, swirl styles and much more. I loved these bulbs as they were so colourful and varied in style. The lit up the lounge room window which looked great from the street at nighttime. 

The wall decorations are not so good nowadays as the quality has diminished as well as the length of the decorations. Original store bought decorations were a colourful tissue paper type in a honeycomb design, that stretched across the room. They lasted much longer than the foil decorations. The individual paper ones such as bells , Santa, snowmen or stars were two or three times the size of that is in the shops today. Unless you were a child prior to 1980, you may not have seen these particular types. You can of course see them in vintage style magazines and antique magazines that show old photos of the old days. 

When I was getting married I came across some glass ornaments similar to some of my grandmother’s and just had to buy them. That was back in 1988, lol, back in the day when we actually had quality products, and I still have them to this day too. I also have a few from my parents and my husband’s parents. 

I must admit that I love the old Home Alone 1 and 2 movies and watch them every Christmas. Not to forget the Muppets Christmas Carol and Miracle on 34th Street. I even have DVD’s of the original Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and old Christmas cartoons from the 1930’s. I still listen to the original Christmas music by Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra etc. These were a staple of my childhood Christmas memories and I introduced them to my children. I loved the old style fairy light bulbs and the smell of cigars at Christmas too, especially in Scottish winters as the air was cold and the aroma hung in the air. 

There is a special warmth from old memories, which are important in human memory and a foundation of our collective belonging and feelings as we grow up. Then we have our own children to share our experiences with as part of their family heritage. I don’t think the times are actually the reason for this resurgence, it’s cyclical and nostalgia. Without any experience from the past we have nothing to form a future no matter what the situation is. Humanity needs a history or past to make a future.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp398e49egpo

If you feel happy with what you do to celebrate Christmas then go with it, this is yours to enjoy and not to follow what is trendy. It’s not for others to tell you what to do. 

‘She was like a deer in headlights’: how unskilled radical birthkeepers took hold in Canada

 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/19/she-was-like-a-deer-in-headlights-how-unskilled-radical-birthkeepers-took-hold-in-canada

I am absolutely flabbergasted at this free birthing movement. These women are hell bent on going against the proper health and safety standards, putting their own lives at risk as well as their babies lives at risk. Many women have problems during pregnancy and have life threatening complications for themselves and their babies. How are they going to prevent eclampsia, an umbilical cord around the baby’s neck, no foetal heartbeat, foetal disease, lack of oxygen or blood supply to the baby, detect a detached placenta or anything life threatening to mother and baby? 

 My body just can’t handle pregnancy from the first trimester to birth. My first pregnancy there was a problem with the placenta and I nearly lost my second baby twice. My babies had to be induced and medical intervention because my body can’t go into labor, both births were between 41 and 41.5 weeks.  My third pregnancy lasted 13 weeks, so each pregnancy got harder and harder to sustain. 

Who accepts the ultimate responsibility of the deaths of these poor little babies? Ladies please be very careful with your choices in health care it’s not just your body that you’re responsible for, it’s your baby and what comes after the birth. Hopefully a healthy baby that is free from health disorders, especially preventable ones. You will be the one looking after a disabled child for life if you don’t have proper medical care throughout your pregnancy. 

Pregnancy is not always easy nor perfect whether it is public or private health care or you go into sudden unexpected labor. It’s smart to choose a bonafide medical professional; who is insured and has a good reputation. That said, sometimes the baby arrives unexpectedly and your doctor is not always available for various reasons, but rest assured you will be looked after by a proper medical professional if you’re in a hospital setting. Yes, on the rare occasion something can go wrong, but there are no guarantees in life with anything really. Your safest option is a proper medical doctor and hospital or medical centre with 21 century medical technology and medicine available. 

Thankfully in Australia it is illegal for FB and unregistered midwives. Our midwives are all registered and professional who work within hospitals, clinics and other settings such as your home. 

Unravelling the mystery of the unknown bairn

 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-62961590.amp

This article was published in 2022.

How utterly sickening, and the Church of Scotland has so much to answer to. I never knew this happened to traveller children, I doubt that my parents would have known about it either, because I never heard them mention this abuse of  innocent children's lives. 

It's a heartbreaking story but thankfully the family have some sort of closure. I hope that little boy in spirit is at peace now after his family have the confirmation of this unknown child is their child. It's a long time to wait for some answers but sadly not the boys cause of death or if someone was responsible for his death. 

Ten people, including one shooter, dead after Bondi Beach attack

 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-14/shooter-at-nsw-bondi-beach-sydney-eastern-suburbs/106141572

My thoughts and prayers to all of the victims and their families, this is un-Australian, we don’t want this happening here. It makes me wonder if there was any intelligence on this before this incident happened. Was it preventable? This sort of thing should not be tolerated nor should it be possible for such a thing to happen in our country. Have we learned anything since Port Arthur? 

You will have read by now that the man who very bravely tackled one of the shooters was in fact a Muslim man, he put his life on the line to save others. He did an incredibly brave thing, and was also shot but kept going. We thank him for his courage and unselfish service, he did what he felt was the right thing to do and thankfully lived to tell the tale. 

My Tarot card of the month for December warned of danger, sudden violence and political upheaval, and crime, as well as keeping an eye on children. A 10 year old girl was killed, and a 14 year old girl was shot as she shielded small children from the shooters.

Astrological observations 

The raw power of Pluto in Aquarius in action and today marks a deadly Plutonic window 14 to 17 December. Another Plutonic window happens again on 29 to 31 December. These events are usually violent acts like terrorism and sudden violent situations, breakdown and rebuilding or transformation happens when Pluto is active. 

Credit for these astrological dates goes to US astrologer Dr Louis Turi as he always tries to warn people before the dates of these astrological events occur.

Scottish icon Stanley Baxter has died aged 99, this man was a multi talented genius and a living legend in Scotland, loved by everyone. A beautiful man with a heart and incredible talent, it's so unfair and so sad that he lived a tortured life. I would loved to have been his friend to take away his pain.

I recall rushing to the tv as a teenager whenever he was on, even one of his funny adverts for Birdseye. Those adverts were comedy gold back in the day.

Stanley, you gave the world so much to love about you. Allow yourself to accept that love, because you are so worth every bit of it. You earned that love and admiration that we bestow upon you. 

Your talent and your humanity will live on within all of us that love you, and you will never be forgotten. Rest in peace and eternal love Stanley 💖May your light shine bright for all eternity 💖
