Taschi Talks

Is Local Council as transparent and accountable as they make out to be? Is Local Government even lawful? (No!). In this episode we cover Local Government and some key changes that were made under the Victorian Local Government Act 2020. Your Local Council can make their own Governance Rules which include their rules of engagement, can create Local Laws, and they use ‘Community Engagement’ to remove your voice. We show you how. https://www.aec.gov.au/Elections/referendums/Referendum_Dates_and_Results.htm https://www.localgovernment.vic.gov.au/strengthening-councils/local-laws https://www.bayside.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-09/Governance%20Rules_0.pdf https://www.legislation.vic.gov.au/in-force/acts/local-government-act-2020/017

What is ‘wellbeing’? Which information is being shared and why? Who decides your child’s ‘Wellbeing’ – the parent? or a government accredited ‘professional’? Is a child’s wellbeing a product for impact investors? https://www.education.vic.gov.au/school/teachers/health/mentalhealth/Pages/socialemotion.aspx https://www.vic.gov.au/child-information-sharing-scheme#what-do-i-need-to-know https://www.vic.gov.au/guides-templates-tools-for-information-sharing file:///C:/Users/MARIABALLANTYNE/Downloads/Child%20Information%20Sharing%20Scheme%20Ministerial%20Guidelines%20%E2%80%93%20Guidance%20for%20information%20sharing%20entities_0.pdf file:///C:/Users/MARIABALLANTYNE/Downloads/Child%20Information%20Sharing%20Scheme%20Ministerial%20Guidelines%20%E2%80%93%20Guidance%20for%20information%20sharing%20entities_0.pdf file:///C:/Users/MARIABALLANTYNE/Downloads/Child%20Information%20Sharing%20Scheme%20on%20a%20page.pdf https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10161051957803475&set=a.10150316059198475 https://content.legislation.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/2022-09/05-83aa037%20authorised.pdf https://www.cccinc.org.au/CISS?utm_source=paid_social&utm_medium=question_box&utm_campaign&utm_content=video&fbclid=IwAR12mm5zYEAyvcAxWnY0zx7kBkifnAkcT99yjHP4BlqQauiyonACkKy7m00 https://www.education.vic.gov.au/Documents/school/teachers/health/V10_Info%20Sharing%20and%20Family%20Violence%20Reforms%20Contextualised%20Guidance.pdf https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/dffh-child-protection-overseas-recruitment-information-session-tickets-415779807597?aff=erelexpmlt https://www.vic.gov.au/child-wellbeing https://www.dffh.vic.gov.au/publications/roadmap-reform-strong-families-safe-children https://www.socialventures.com.au/work/side-by-side-sib/ https://decisionmagazine.com/australian-parents-fearful-of-prosecution-under-victorias-new-transgender-law/

Do philanthropists want to help your child get a Goodstart in life? Or do they see your child as a money making investment via Social Impact Bonds? “It takes a village to raise your child” – except it’s not the village – it’s the State.

Where does your data go? Are you being ‘nudged’? Taschi shows how your data is stored in a central government database, and how data can be weaponised against you, using behavioural science to ‘nudge’ your behaviour towards World Economic Forum aligned goals such as taking injections, or eating insects.

Is ‘prevention’ just a euphemism for ‘control’? In this episode Taschi and Simon discuss how Social Impact Bonds are financing a whole new market of ‘preventative social prescribing’ for non-communicable disease and other health conditions such as mental health. Who is ultimately in charge of your health? Is it you? Or the doctor? Or the State via Public Health initiatives? Will you wear or ingest a tracking/monitoring device? Who benefits? This model is proposed by the UN and the WHO and makes money for philanthropic ‘investors’. Taschi shows you how. https://prekure.com/ https://eugenelabs.com/ https://www.ijic.org/articles/abstract/10.5334/ijic.s4058/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7813735/ https://www1.racgp.org.au/ajgp/2020/april/prescribing-and-dosing-exercise-in-primary-care https://www.cancerexerciseprogram.com.au/ https://www.toptal.com/designers/healthtech-design/connected-medical-devices https://sociable.co/technology/great-reset-meets-internet-of-bodies-manipulating-human-behavior-authoritarian-surveillance/ https://www.publish.csiro.au/AH/AH12238 https://gh.bmj.com/content/6/3/e004127 https://www.phaa.net.au/events/event/preventive-health-conference-2022 https://preventioncentre.org.au/event/preventive-health-conference-2022/ https://intouchpublichealth.net.au/share-your-expertise-on-what-an-australian-centre-for-disease-control-and-prevention-could-look-like/ https://www.health.gov.au/resources/publications/national-preventive-health-strategy-2021-2030

In this episode Taschi and Simon talk about a peer to peer youth suicide prevention app, in the context of the burgeoning EdTech impact investing market. The Victorian government are sponsoring many investors in the digital education space, but at whose cost? What is SEL (Social Emotional Learning)? Whose interests are really being served? The children or the investors? https://allknd.org/ https://www.impactboom.org/blog/2021/8/19/high-potential-impact-enterprises-join-the-elevate-plus-accelerator-program-at-homebase-logan https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/thinkmental/3351112 https://www.education.vic.gov.au/school/teachers/health/mentalhealth/Pages/socialemotion.aspx#link87 https://www2.education.vic.gov.au/pal/digital-learning/policy https://djpr.vic.gov.au/about-us/news/melbourne-set-to-become-australias-new-education-technology-capital https://www.holoniq.com/notes/holoniq-australia-newzealand-edtech-50 https://global.vic.gov.au/news/2022/february/global-victoria-edtech-alliance-boosts-export-growth-for-victorian-edtech-innovation

In this episode Taschi and Simon talk about the upcoming elections. Whilst there are many independents running this time to shake things up, there is also another proposed solution to our ‘democracy in crisis’ prepared and ready to go. This discussion covers ‘Deliberative Democracy’ also known as ‘Citizens Assemblies’. But is it really a better way of doing democracy?

Taschi reads through the ATAGI statement on recommendations on a winter booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine, with a critical eye. ‘Trust the science’ and ‘peer review’ is what we have repeatedly heard – but do the ‘experts’ follow their own advice?

In this episode Taschi and Simon talk about the push for an Australian Charter of Rights and whether this will protect individual human rights. Our analysis is that it does not, and in fact acts as a trojan horse to try and eliminate our human rights under common law. Additionally, what happens to your inalienable human rights if you’re GMH (genetically modified human)? https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/7649307/enough-is-enough-australian-women-say/?cs=14264 https://www.younggloballeaders.org/community?page=89&sf92558835=1 https://lens.monash.edu/@politics-society/2022/03/08/1384517/how-committed-is-australia-to-advancing-the-rights-set-out-in-cedaw https://www.linkedin.com/in/hugh-de-kretser-0ab59698/recent-activity/shares/ https://charterofrights.org.au/ https://www.rrr.org.au/on-demand/segments/breakfasters-vaccine-passports-and-mandates-with-lawyer-hugh-de-krester https://www.filmsforaction.org/watch/the-new-human-rights-movement-peter-joseph-2017/ https://westonaprice.london/articles/great-reset/?fbclid=IwAR12l7kYjIzJFLVLHATg7bQeVg28k4V7mjtIcObkaxzW1M2_NjAFcVXRmtI https://humanrights.gov.au/our-work/rights-and-freedoms/how-are-human-rights-protected-australian-law https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/dec/08/universal-declaration-human-rights-turns-70 https://news.un.org/en/news/topic/human-rights https://dailyexpose.uk/2022/02/25/a-law-to-protect-genetically-modified-humans/

Would the government block your access to money? In Canada the government has frozen the accounts of people who donated to the trucker convoy. Could that happen in Australia? Taschi discusses the progression, development and trajectory of ‘smart’ money, or ‘programmable’ money….

In light of the historic protest at Canberra Parliament on the weekend of 12 Feb 2022 to seek remedy to mandates and government corruption, Taschi discusses whether petitioning the Governor General will work? David Hurley the Governor General of the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia is absent out of Australia, and Linda Dessau the Governor General of Victoria has assumed his role. Taschi and Simon take a look at her patronage and how it aligns to the Great Reset.

Taschi discusses the push from the World Economic Forum for Digital ID, and the Trusted Digital Identity Bill in passage through the Federal Parliament. It claims to ‘protect’ your data, but does not resolve who OWNS your biometric data, and the circumstances under which you can decline to provide it. We discuss what that means for your access and participation in civic life. We also discuss how the QR Code is the behavioural conditioning pre-cursor for the Digital ID to come.

Do you really think the WHO should have MORE POWER to dictate pandemic responses? Taschi looks at the crazy global response to the Omicron ‘variant’ happening at the same time as a Special Session at the WHO is convened to draw up a global ‘Pandemic Treaty’. https://tv.gab.com/channel/redvoicemedia/view/south-african-doctor-says-omicron-variant-61a4018c8ac7bef71e0e657b https://www.news.com.au/world/coronavirus/health/doctor-shares-the-unusual-but-mild-symptoms-of-omicron/news-story/ee775571363a9739d94efaf76c1ff2d4 https://twitter.com/SBSNews/status/1465184002101239810 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-11-24/s-africa-wants-j-j-pfizer-vaccine-delivery-delay-news24-says https://www.science.org/content/article/pandemic-appears-have-spared-africa-so-far-scientists-are-struggling-explain-why https://www.who.int/news/item/28-11-2021-update-on-omicron https://www.who.int/en/activities/tracking-SARS-CoV-2-variants/ https://twitter.com/hashtag/WHASpecial?src=hashtag_click https://www.who.int/news-room/events/detail/2021/11/29/default-calendar/second-special-session-of-the-world-health-assembly https://www.who.int/news/item/30-03-2021-global-leaders-unite-in-urgent-call-for-international-pandemic-treaty The Ivermectin Story: https://rumble.com/vpygrv-the-ivermctin-story.html

Taschi explores the huge and often unprecedented investment in medical research against the backdrop of the Public Health and Wellbeing Amendment (Pandemic Management) Bill 2021. She delves into the Australian Citizens’ Jury on Genome Editing held in June 2021 in Canberra. “We now have the technology to redesign life and sculpt the evolution of every living creature. How do we apply this technology? What sort of future do we want? Who gets to decide?” Well 23 ordinary Australians decided on your behalf. Considering the investment already made in genomics, was it a ‘done deal’?

Taschi explores the very deliberate use of inflammatory language by John Setka in response to trade union members standing up for Human Rights. She contextualises it with regard to the Terrorism Community Protection Amendment Bill 2021 currently in passage in the Victorian Parliament, and to the global Strong Cities Network that Dan Andrews has signed Melbourne up to. Does this explain the heavy handed police response in Melbourne? Does this explain John Setka’s rhetoric, echoed and encouraged by mainstream media?

Taschi explores the ‘exorbitant’ rates of return for Social Impact Bonds. She provides an analysis of Social Impact Bonds for child welfare services in NSW and Queensland. Do they constitute good value for money? Who actually pays? Is it really the ‘philanthropist’ or is it actually the taxpayer? Will it create a target driven culture? What might the real impact of that be on already vulnerable families?

In this episode Taschi explores the emerging burgeoning market for psychedelic drugs to address the current mental health crisis as a response to Covid-19 lockdown measures. Drug companies took their positions in 2019 and key players are linked to social impact investing. In his 1930s novel Brave New World, Aldous Huxley described the use of a fictitious psychotropic drug for mass control of a subservient population. In 2021 it would seem it can also be profitable. https://www.parentsvictoria.asn.au/ https://www.werribeeps.vic.edu.au/articles/708 https://blog.oup.com/2013/11/psychotropic-drugs-alduous-huxley-brave-new-world/ https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2050324520974484 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-15/calls-for-expanded-drug-treatments-for-coronavirus-mental-health/12147352 https://mindmedicineaustralia.org.au/media-releases/ https://akjournals.com/view/journals/2054/aop/article-10.1556-2054.2021.00172/article-10.1556-2054.2021.00172.xml https://www.philanthropy.org.au/stories-mind-medicine/ https://www.afr.com/street-talk/greenhill-australia-cofounder-peter-hunt-to-retire-20180418-h0yxnq https://www.creativeinnovationglobal.com.au/ci2019/speakers/peter-hunt-am/ https://www.csi.edu.au/ https://www.socialventures.com.au/sva-quarterly/social-impact-bonds-a-letter-from-the-frontline-part1/

Taschi explores the ‘shadow’ pandemic of mental health issues for the youth of Victoria. She highlights Dan Andrews link to mental health services provider Orygen and the World Economic Forum which in May 2020 launched “A Global Framework for Youth Mental Health: Investing in Future Mental Capital for Individuals, Communities and Economies’ Why are the government public health directives in Victoria so draconian that they are pushing youth to the brink? Is it to make markets $$$ for Impact Investors via Social Impact Bonds? This podcast questions the ethics of a business model that requires broken youth to fix.

Monetizing Loneliness. The Impact Investors have found ways to invest in the loneliness market. Whilst Australians are effectively banned from visiting their families, Taschi shows the huge money being invested in loneliness services. She follows the money trail behind a company that can send someone to play backgammon with her Aunty, whilst we are all told to stay at home.
