The Leighton Smith Podcast

Antony P. Mueller is my kind of economist. He is a German Professor, teaching in Brazil.  Our discussion, revolving around the plans of the World Economic Forum for the world, is essential listening,
We cover Technocracy, pandemic, climate change, and education; I’ve listened to it twice since we spoke.
We also comment on the new lockdown, Biden’s running mate and the NZ climate risk assessment (hint: it’s useless).

Aynsley Kellow, Professor Emeritus of Government, University of Tasmania, dominates podcast 75.
Here’s why: his latest article is titled, “COVID-19: The Failure of Official Science” . It runs 14 pages and covers both Covid-19 and climate change. The amount of information and knowledge contained therein is reflective of the very best investigative journalism. It leaves you wanting more.
As further validation, Kellow was New Zealand born and educated, graduating from the University of Otago. It’s time to reclaim him.
