THE MALENY NETWORK NEWSLETTER
Welcome Everyone To Our End Of August Newsletter:
Upcoming
Meetings and Events:
1.The Maleny Network - Special Community Network Planning Meeting - Monday 28 August at 5.30pm.
At our last Monday night meeting we discussed the
next phase of ‘The Network’s’ agenda, to building our community’s preparedness and resilience.
This includes building closer relationships and trust, working together at people’s properties, helping out our neighbors and each other, and learning to ask and offer our help. We also discussed the value of the next young generation participating, learning by seeing others
do practical tasks and being mentored.
We are excited that as a result of that meeting, we will be having a planning meeting aimed to bring our like-minded community closer together by identifying what individual’s and the group’s needs are in terms of preparation towards a functioning parallel society.
We will also be looking at establishing sub-communities based on relevant factors, eg location.
If everyone choosing to participate in this Networking Project can put some thought into the follow questions - in writing a list
and bringing it with you this Monday night - then we can start on this practical phase sooner rather than later.
Please also come prepared with pen, paper and your contributing voice/input.
A. What are your needs eg?
1. Is your garden producing enough food to sustain you, your family, or others?
2. Have you considered and optimized all aspects of water capture, storage and
purification for your needs?
3. Have you considered and invested in alternative communication? eg radios?
4. Have you considered and got enough alternative power should the grid go down to keep the “must have “ items going? Have you prioritized and listed
your “must have” items?
5. Are you well stocked in medical supplies?
6. Have you got affordable accommodation?
7. Do you know your
blood type?
B. What Resources do you believe you can bring to contribute to the network.
1. Can you give your time, physical labor, equipment,
tools, skills, knowledge, food, garden produce or something else that you could contribute or participate in?
2. When it comes to sharing resources; there will be some checks and balances required to most effectively utilise and apply the best use of these resources.
Date:Monday 28 August 2023
Time: 5.30pm for 6.00pm start.
Venue: The Verandah Room, at the back of the Maleny Community

1. Shared Community Lunch - The Maleny Neighbourhood Centre - Thursdays 12.30pm:
If you know anyone new to the area who or anyone who could do with a good hearty, nutritious meal and have a chat, the Shared Community Lunch is a program of the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre.
Every Thursday, lunch is dine-in at 12.30pm to 1.00 pm and the cost is a $7.00 donation.
The money raised is used to pay for the lunch ingredients and they gratefully accept donations of fresh produce to put towards each shared lunch. Some of the ingredients are even grown in their community garden!
WHERE: Maleny Neighbourhood Centre - 17 Bicentenary Lane, Maleny.
COST: $7.00 donation.
2. Free Little Pantry:
Have you seen these, the Free Little Pantry, around your area? If yourself or someone you know could do with a little help with the rising cost of food, then let them know about them!
Maleny has one located at 17 Bicentenary Lane and is open 24/7.
Here is a link to the Wurtulla Facebook page and the list of locations of where others are in the
Sunshine Coast:
3. Are Covid-19 Vaccines Causing The Surge In Red Meat Allergies?:
Interesting article in Zerohedge about Alph-gal Syndrome (AGS), which is caused by tick bites (of which Australia has the highest rate) and is exploding amongst the population in the United States, and like all the other side effects of the vaccine, they dont know why AGS is spiking. Really? Not even a stab-in-the-dark
guess?!
Will we see similar reports here in Australia of AGS rise to explain another side-effect of the vaccine?
Many people are sourcing their quality beef from providers that are “off the range”. Given we want to work with and create relationship with our local suppliers I trialed a 1/8 side of beef with Maleny Black Angus and have since reordered.
The following is a response received from them offering our Network a discount of $25 off any first orders.
“Thank you for getting in touch with us and presenting
this opportunity to reach your network, and for being so supportive of our beef and our philosophies on low food miles, nose-to-tail eating and regenerative farming. We’re very keen for your network to hear more about our local beef business and if any of them become customers, we’d be thrilled.
Following your suggestion, I’ve created a unique discount coupon for your members called
‘Network’ which will give them a $25 discount when they place their first order. You’re welcome to promote it to your Network as you like but I’d suggest directing people to our website www.malenyblackangusbeef.com.auif they’d like any information about our products, farming
practices, FAQs, and to order. They can simply use that coupon at our online checkout when they order.
As for our stance on the mRNA vaccine. We’re aware that the Qld DPI and other state Ag Departments are looking at developing vaccines for foot and mouth and lumpy skin disease, in order for them to be available if these diseases ever do enter Australia. We’ve been told by the Qld DPI that if
developed using this mRNA technology, that they would be available, but not compulsorily, for producers to use as their choice - which is the case for all of the available vaccines at the moment.
We do not vaccinate our cattle for anything, and have no intention of doing so in the future.
It’s great to hear from you and we’re delighted you’re so happy with our meat. I look forward to seeing how the members take up our ‘Network’ ‘$25 discount for first-time orders’ coupon”.
These details have been posted on the Living Community website under: Homesteading/ Food
Supply.
5. Is The WHO Telling Us What They Plan To Do Next?:
WHO declares ‘Eris’ Covid strain a variant of interest as cases rise globally. Health risk of EG.5, which is related to Omicron subvariant, judged to be low but may drive larger wave of infections.
But
before we read more of the article, lets have a look at both ‘Eris’ and ‘EG.5’ and see if we can look behind what the WHO are ‘really’ saying!
Eris: The Goddess or personified spirit (daimona) of strife, discord, contention and rivalry. She was often portrayed, more specifically, as the daimona of the strife of war, haunting the battlefield and delighting in human bloodshed -
(https://www.theoi.com/Daimon/Eris.html).
Thoughts: Makes you wonder why they’d call the next strain after the Goddess of strife and discord, who delighted in human bloodshed…hmm, just like the WHO does?
EG.5: There is a lot of speculation on this one and many coming up with that if you
look at EG.5 backwards, it become 5.GE - not disimilar to 5G? As we know 5G is a contenious subject with those spilt with thinking that it is safe, to those that think its not safe, for us humans with the exposure to harmful EMF radiation.
Dr. Martin Pall, biochemistry professor and internationally known scientist on the subject of EMF health effects, discusses the dangers of 5G:
Some key excerpts are listed below:
“EMFs act by activating channels in the membrane that surrounds each of our cells, called voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs). The EMFs put forces on the voltage sensor that controls the VGCCs of about 7.2 million times greater than the forces on other charged groups in our cells. This is why weak EMFs have
such large biological effects on the cells of our bodies.
Pulsed EMFs are, in most cases, more biologically active and therefore more dangerous than are non-pulsed (continuous wave) EMFs. All cordless communication devices communicate via pulsations, because it is the pulsations that carry the information communicated.
5G will be much more active in activating the VGCCs and producing health impacts because of its rapid absorption by materials in the body, because of its very rapid pulsations and because of the huge number antennae they are planning to put up, at least 200 times the number of antennae from all current cell phone towers. What this means is that the impacts on the outer one to two inches of our bodies will be massive.”
Among the major ill-effects that might be seen after the worldwide adoption of 5G, according to Dr. Pall, include increases in blindness, hearing loss, male infertility, skin cancers, thyroid issues, and nervous system dysfunction.
In conclusion: This new variant has the name of the Goddess of strife and discord (Eris) and the backward 5G (EG.5), which by means of deduction,
the WHO are telling us that the next ‘outbreak’ will cause strife and radiate us. Thank goodness there is a new and updated Covid vaccine - which is available in the US next month, just in time for this new outbreak (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/covid-vaccine-variant-eris-b2396375.html)…Hmm, it’s like the WHO knew what was coming and got this vaccine (lets not go into if it’s a vaccine or not - that’s for next time!) just in the nick of time!
6. BASED - Discussion On Big Pharma And The Vaccine Narrative:
Senators Gerard Rennick and Matt Canavan championed freedom and liberty during the COVID period.
This month the three of us questioned representatives from Pfizer and Moderna at the Education and Employment Legislation Committee.
On this episode of BASED, recorded in my office in Canberra during the last sitting week, Senator Rennick and Senator Canavan join me to
discuss the way in which big pharma has controlled the vaccine narrative over the past three years, and the evidence presented to the committee in Canberra.
Have you seen little stickers on citrus fruit, melons, pineapples, bananas, papayas, mangoes, avocados, and pomegranates. Even if they dont have this sticker, they still may contain a coating, a coating that is a thin, edible postharvest coating made from plant-derived materials that extends the shelf-life of fresh fruits and vegetables by slowing moisture loss and reducing oxidation. So this will keep our produce fresher for longer.
Sound Apeel-ing (appealing) or not? Let’s have a closer look at Apeel.
Apeel Sciences was founded in 2012, with a grant from the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, by James Roger, who is CEO of the company and has a PhD in Materials.
So what is this coating? It is composed of food grade mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E 471) derived from plants.
That sounds safe, is it though? These fatty acids may contain trans fats, which we know can be harmful to ones health.
Also there are two stages in the manufacturing process that require the use of a solvent. In both cases, the solvent is either heptane or ethyl acetate.
Ethyl acetate is a flavoring agent and solvent used in paints, lacquers, perfumes, and processed foods, and is “toxic when ingested or inhaled”.
Heptane is used in test fuels, petroleum refinement, cement, inks, and as a food solvent in small amounts, with side effects as, skin
rashes, nausea, headache, and more if exposed directly to heptane.
The below details the following components and amounts included in this product being sprayed on our food:
Soap (as sodium oleate) – Not more than 6%
Ethyl acetate – Not more than 4.58 mg per day (at 21,000 ppm*)
Heptane – Not more than 5.01 mg per day (at 23,000 ppm*)
And the following metals*:
* These numbers are calculated using parts per million to determine the volume of these toxic substances in the end product
Not only is our produce coated in this, a majority of Australian produce undergoes extensive chemical treatments to improve its appearance, increase shelf life or increase the flavour of the produce.
Australia has more than 800 formally registered pesticides available for purchase, and 75% of them are used in
agriculture. At the end of 2022 there is at least 70 chemicals banned in the US, EU, UK that are still used here in Australia.
This is because Australian regulators look for risk and proof of harm, whereas other Countries ask the chemical manufacturers to prove they are not harmful.
Dr Zac says one fruit we
should all try to buy organic are grapes. In Australia, our grapes contain 200 times more of the insecticide Methomyl than in the UK. If eaten in high doses, this insecticide overstimulates the nervous system and causes nausea, dizziness and confusion. Even though a lot of grapes would need to be eaten to cause these side effects, they shouldnt be used on our grapes.
He also lists that 12
other pesticides of major concern that are used here in Australia, but here are the worst:
Paraquat
A poisonous weed killer with links to Parkinson’s disease. If you eat a small amount it can cause heat, kidney and liver failure. It also causes nausea, vomiting,
abdominal pain and diarrhoea.
Atrazine
Typically used on crops such as corn, potatoes and sugarcane, this pesticide disrupts the endocrine system, which means it interferes with reproduction and development.
This is especially important because declining male fertility is becoming a huge problem.
Dr Zac Turner mentions in this article to wash produce in a saltwater solution, but Apeel cant be washed off. This is the how produce can stay so fresh, for longer!
Makes you think why a list of ‘ingredients’ that are sprayed, coated etc on our fruit and vegetables, arent displayed next to each piece of produce. Packaged foods have to display this information, why not our fresh produce? Next time we buy produce, look out for this little sticker or best, buy organic.
8. Notice of Dissatisfaction and Complaint - Government Water Fluoridation:
Caroline has sent this through.
“A friend of mine together with a group from the North Brisbane MyPlace group are writing to Urban Utilities (and ultimately the council and SEQ water), about removing the fluoride from our water.
The more people who write a letter (so to Unity Water also), the more impact this will
have.
For the strong and brave, don't pay the water part of your bill either until the fluoride is removed. Hit them where it hurts!
A sample letter has been attached for your reference, to adjust to your own language, format and information to suit.
I have also attached a
document about fluoride as well which may be of interest.
I hope many of you jump on board and help remove the fluoride and share the information around with your groups to extend the people power! Cheers”
