Podcasts about Port Arthur massacre

G'day Folks, In this lively episode of the General Knowledge Podcast (Season 7, Episode 9), Lee, Ethan, and Andy reunite after a series of technical hiccups to dive into a rich and speculative discussion spanning ancient mythology, electric universe theory, and hidden cosmological truths. After expressing their mutual frustrations and relief at finally getting Brave Talk working, the crew quickly shifts gears into thought-provoking territory. Lee leads the charge by discussing the Saturn myth and the controversial Electric Universe theory. He reflects on the possibility that humanity has inherited memories of cataclysmic celestial events, with Mars, Venus, and Saturn once forming a visible triad in our skies. These formations, according to some theorists, were recorded in myths and symbols across cultures—from Egyptian headdresses to the Eye of Ra—indicating a lost understanding of plasma physics and electromagnetic phenomena that shaped early human consciousness. The group then explores the mystery of the North Pole, questioning the accuracy of modern maps and what may lie hidden beneath its icy surface. Ethan delves into historical maps, the idea of a magnetic monolith, and the symbolic role of the North Star, drawing links between ancient legends, magnetic anomalies, and even simulation theory. They speculate that melting polar ice could be revealing ancient structures tied to human evolution and consciousness, and discuss how mainstream science may be deliberately misleading the public. Further grounding the episode, Lee shares his personal experiences with camping, stargazing, and the profound clarity that comes with disconnecting from technology and modern life. He also opens up about haunting childhood visions—eerily similar to the planetary alignments described in myth—which he believes could be echoes of ancestral trauma or ancient memory encoded in DNA. The episode wraps with an impassioned discussion about plasma physics, the flaws of traditional astrophysics, and how opening one's mind to alternative theories can shift not only your perception of history—but reality itself.

In this emotionally charged and unflinchingly honest episode of The Guilty Files: Revisited, Brian and Dani return to one of the darkest chapters in modern Australian history — the 1996 Port Arthur Massacre.While Brian dissects the historical failures, institutional missteps, and security oversights that allowed such a tragedy to unfold, Dani brings his psychological and sociological lens to the human cost — not only of the event itself but of the mythmaking, media frenzy, and political aftershocks that followed.Together, they challenge the prevailing narratives, question the moral panic that shaped legislation, and dig deep into the public's complex relationship with memory, grief, and justice.This isn't just a retelling — it's a reckoning. With conflicting perspectives, thought-provoking questions, and a careful balance of empathy and critique, Brian and Dani peel back the layers of what we think we know. From the conspiracy theories that cloud the facts to the very real lives that were shattered, The Guilty Files asks: What happens when the pursuit of truth collides with the need for closure?

What if we told you that the Port Arthur Massacre wasn't just a tragedy—but a blueprint? In this week's ReWired episode, host Dani steps into the psychological wreckage and bureaucratic blind spots surrounding one of the deadliest mass shootings in modern history. Building on Brian's factual breakdown in The Guilty Files: Uncovered, this episode doesn't just revisit April 28th, 1996—it reimagines the fault lines that led there. Across nine speculative acts, Dani dissects the cracks in the system, the red flags that never escalated, and the moments where intervention could have changed everything. With sociological insight, behavioral analysis, and real talk from her years as an Atlanta beat cop, Dani pulls no punches—and adds plenty of bite. In This Episode:

On April 28th, 1996, the peaceful seascape of Port Arthur, Tasmania, became the site of the worst mass shooting in Australia's history. In this week's Uncovered episode, Brian walks us through the chilling timeline of the Port Arthur Massacre—44 minutes that left 35 people dead and 23 wounded. With a methodical breakdown of the shooter's movements, the weapons used, and the immediate law enforcement response, Brian lays out the cold, hard facts of a case that shocked the world and forever changed Australia's gun laws.From the haunting lead-up to the attack to the manhunt and eventual arrest of Martin Bryant, this episode dissects the known details with the precision and clarity you've come to expect from Uncovered. No speculation. No dramatization. Just the truth, as grim and devastating as it is.If you've ever wondered how one day can reshape a nation, this case is a sobering example.

Nuclear power - and political power games - break up the Liberal-National Coalition. National editor Dennis Shanahan tries to make sense of David Littleproud’s big breakup.

G'day Folks, On this episode we re-visit the fiasco that is the Fire Ant Eradication Program by the Queensland Government. More has happened since our last show in June 2024. Government Overreach & Property Rights The episode revisits the ongoing “fire ant fiasco,” with guests highlighting how the government has been conducting chemical spraying across Queensland with minimal consultation. Dr. Conny Turni shares her experience of having her property sprayed without proper consent, where officials assumed silence as consent. The discussion underscores a dangerous precedent where residents' rights are being undermined in the name of pest control. Environmental & Health Risks Both guests raise alarm over the environmental devastation caused by the chemicals used in the program. They describe the impact on native ant species, soil health, frogs, and waterways, citing studies that link these chemicals to endocrine disruption and bioaccumulation in the food chain. Despite this, no thorough environmental risk assessments have been conducted—especially shocking given the massive 830,000-hectare spray zone. Flawed Execution & Wasteful Spending The government's eradication strategy is criticized as inconsistent and ineffective. Sarah McGuire outlines how $1.5 billion has been spent over 23 years, yet fire ants are 20 times more widespread. The approach is described as poorly managed, with inexperienced workers treating properties haphazardly and inconsistently—suggesting it functions more as an employment scheme than a serious biosecurity program. Legal Challenges & Civil Disobedience The podcast spotlights the arrest of a woman in Samford Valley who refused to allow chemical treatment on her land. The arrest—despite no confirmed fire ants on the property—sparked outrage and legal action. The hosts argue this represents an attack on civil liberties and are encouraging legal resistance through formal objections, signage, and community solidarity. Viable Alternatives & Grassroots Advocacy Importantly, the episode doesn't just criticize—it offers solutions. The guests promote non-toxic methods, such as a hot water fire ant extermination machine developed in the U.S. and now being trialed in Australia. They also encourage Indigenous involvement, legal resistance, and public support to pressure the government for change. The message is clear: there are safer, smarter ways to deal with fire ants—if only the authorities would listen.

G'day Folks, Introducing Steven Tripp: In this episode, host General Maddox welcomes Steven Tripp, a former political candidate and passionate advocate for grassroots reform. Steven shares his journey from an everyday Aussie to running for federal parliament after losing his job due to vaccine mandates. He discusses his motivation to challenge political norms and get more Australians involved in shaping the future. Free Speech and Political Hypocrisy: The discussion dives into recent political controversies, particularly the disendorsement of Ben Britton over his views on women in the military. Steven and General Maddox critique the erosion of free speech in Australia, highlighting the dangerous trend of punishing dissenting opinions, even within supposedly free-speech-supporting parties like the Liberals. The Misinformation Battle and Social Engineering: The pair examine the rise of censorship laws, such as the misinformation and hate speech bills, and their broader implications for society. They argue these measures blur the line between public safety and social control, potentially silencing debate and manipulating the public through fear and political correctness. Understanding Australia's Voting System: Steven provides an insightful breakdown of Australia's preferential voting system, emphasizing the need for “preference discipline” on the political right. He explains how minor parties and uninformed voting habits often benefit Labor and the Greens, and how strategic voting could empower freedom-minded candidates and shift the balance in the Senate. Australians for Better Government: Wrapping up, Steven discusses his involvement with Australians for Better Government, a think tank and lobbying group aiming to reform the system from the ground up. He outlines proposals like banning political affiliations in the Senate, enshrining free speech in the Constitution, and pushing for real separation of powers. The goal: to build a movement that puts power back into the hands of everyday Australians.

In this episode of the General Knowledge Podcast, hosts General Maddox and Ethan Nash delve into recent political and media events in Australia, highlighting concerns about free speech, human rights, and government overreach. They discuss the shift to using the Brave browser for better communication and privacy, emphasizing the importance of independent platforms in an era of increasing digital surveillance. The conversation also touches on developments at TOTT News, where Ethan has been actively covering issues that mainstream outlets avoid. A portion of the episode is dedicated to Ethan's recent interview with Pete Evans, a controversial figure who has re-emerged in the public eye. They reflect on how their past discussions were dominated by COVID-related uncertainties, whereas now, Evans shares insights on broader topics such as personal sovereignty, skepticism of political figures like Trump and Musk, and his new book with RFK Jr.'s Children's Health Defense. The hosts note how mainstream media often distorts figures like Evans, portraying them in extreme ways while ignoring their nuanced viewpoints. The episode also critiques media manipulation and orchestrated narratives, particularly surrounding new hate speech laws. The hosts argue that many of these policies aim to preemptively criminalize dissent rather than genuinely protect marginalized groups. They reference staged media events and shifts in political allegiances, observing how public perception is often shaped by carefully controlled messaging. The rise of surveillance and “pre-crime” tactics, where individuals can be flagged for opinions rather than actions, is identified as a worrying trend in modern governance. The discussion then pivots to the Australian Human Rights Commission's recent report, which criticizes the government's handling of COVID-19. Ethan and General Maddox highlight how draconian restrictions violated fundamental rights, with citizens unable to visit loved ones or move freely. They question why institutions like the Human Rights Commission remained silent during the crisis but are now releasing reports acknowledging past mistakes. This leads to broader concerns about whether such reports will result in meaningful policy changes or simply serve as retrospective damage control. Closing out the episode, the hosts encourage listeners to stay informed, challenge mainstream narratives, and support independent media. They express concern about the road to 2030, noting increasing government control over digital spaces, financial systems, and personal freedoms. Despite the challenges, they remain committed to providing alternative perspectives and exposing agendas that often go unnoticed by the general public.

G'day Folks, On today's show I'm rejoined by Mike Williams of Sage Of Quay to go a little bit deeper into The Beatles conspiracy. Our first show in October 2023 is to this day one of my favourite shows where we broke down the narrative of The Beatles being an organically created music group that just so happened to create amazing music that steered a generation of youth around the world. The link for part one of this show is at the bottom and I urge you to go back and listen to this show first. In this discussion we go into how a book that's classed as 'Historical Fiction' was so good at seemingly knowing too much about The Beatles and how Paul was replaced after his death by Billy Shears. The book is called 'The Memoirs of Billy Shears' by Thomas Uharriet an admitted Freemason. Mike discussed how the book has levels of encoding in the book of 666 pages! Seemingly random bolded words on each page, an acrostical code on every odd sentence and more. Mike also elaborates on the esoteric elements of the creation of The Beatles and their occult ties to Aleister Crowley, Tavistock Institute, the Frankfurt School and the Freemasons. As mentioned above the Author of the book is a Freemason as is Billy Shears (the man who replaced Paul McCartney. The Freemasons are well known for their ability to keep secrets, Masterful speaking, and revelation of the method in terms of universal balance. Mike discusses how there are a few examples of the fact that Paul is dead and Billy Shears has taken his place. On the member video version we show examples of this as well. Where it was let slip on camera and captured. Famous people letting it slip too. Once again the 2nd half of the show goes even deeper into The Beatles Conspiracy and the Paul is Dead Conspiracy. Please do consider joining up to support the show and check out the full versions of these interviews with Mike. https://sageofquaydispatch.blogspot.com/ https://realnewsaustralia.podbean.com/e/gkp-s5e18-the-beatles-conspiracy/ +++++++++++++++++ Remember the Bonus Content shows are available now to all Patreon supporters for just AU$8 a month!

G'day Folks, On this episode of the General Knowledge Podcast I'm joined by my brothers-in-arms for the first time this season Andy & Ethan to go over the latest. We first go through some of the latest chaos happening in the United States. We're seeing a whole bunch of aerial disasters happening including a Black Hawk helicopter crashing into a United Airlines passenger plane over DC. Plus the small Lear Jet medical flight crashing in Philadelphia. From what we can discern these disaster are indeed real. Not staged or fake as unfortunately that crops up from time to time to muddy the waters. Andy gives us his take on these scenes as an experienced pilot himself and Ethan raises the point that there are in fact many air disasters that occur in the U.S each year but we rarely heard of them. So why now? Now that Trump is in power we're seeing the newsfeeds in overload. People all of a sudden now care about politics, what the President says or thinks, DEI etc...Something to keep an eye on. We switch gears soon after to discuss the recent moves in Australia to once again censor Australian's and remove our rights to free speech under the guise of a rise in Antisemitism. Ethan recently published the article (link below) 'Inquiry Calls for Establishment of a National Hate Crimes Database'. This proposal raises concerns over the blurring of the lines between hate speech and hate crimes, potentially leading to a crackdown on free speech. The governments approach follows a familiar pattern of Problem - Reaction - Solution as a method of social control where a perceived rise in extremism is used to justify increased surveillance and regulation. Without clear definitions, the database could be weaponized to silence dissenting opinions under the guise of combating "Hate". This leads us into the next article by Ethan at TOTTnews.com 'Meta's Fact-Checking Services will Remain Active in Australia'. Again we see the Australian government going the opposite direction to the U.S in terms of allowing more open and free discussion on social media. Just like England we will begin to see citizens targeted for their own thoughts that they have shared online. Fact-checkers will crackdown on those diverting from the established narrative. I'll say it again, grab the popcorn folks. 2025 is going to be a wild ride. https://tottnews.com/2025/01/13/national-hate-crimes-database/ https://tottnews.com/2025/01/20/fact-checking-to-stay-australia/ +++++++++++++++++ Remember the Bonus Content shows are available now to all Patreon supporters for just AU$8 a month!

G'day Folks, On tonights episode of the General Knowledge Podcast i'm joined by Adam from the CrazzFiles.com to go over what's been happening in Australia and the world of late. Adam is based in Sydney so he's able to offer his perspective on goings-on south of the border from Queensland. Both Sydney and Melbourne saw activists take to the streets on January 26th, Australia Day, in regards to protesting our national holiday celebrating our great nation and what it means to be an Aussie. These protestors, whilst I disagree with what they are protesting about on this occasion, deserve the right to protest and freedom of speech. Let that be clear. Now what I would like to know is who is funding this movement and who is organizing this movement to cancel Australia Day and labeling it Invasion Day. Very disgraceful in my opinion. Adam and I shared our thoughts on this as well as how the government and corporations are NOT supporting the celebration of Australia Day but they'll celebrate every other day under the sun. The is intentional division being pushed on the public. We also discuss the big push by Jewish interests in Australia to reinforce their so-called plight of antisemitism. Our government is now spending millions of dollars to build Jewish Holocaust museums in major cities in order to indoctrinate the youth and maintain the Holocaust story and continue to play the victim card. So how do we get rid of the constant liberal labor opposames? We talked about the upcoming federal election and how it is actually possible to get freedom orientated parties and representatives into positions of power to hold the other major parties to account and perhaps block anything they try and do to strip freedoms from the people. Topher Field did a great video explaining this and it's IMPERATIVE to watch it and understand our preferential voting system we have in Australia. It must be shared to family and friends too. Link below! We also re-capped on the LA Fires a bit more and chatted about the Trump administration and what's been happening in his first week of being President. Grab the popcorn folks 2025 is going to be a wild ride.

G'day Folks, Welcome to season 7 of the General Knowledge Podcast. Wow! What a ride so far folks. 2025 is here and already things are crazy. Right from the get go. Whilst it's hard not to jump on and do a show and chat about the weird events happening like drones hovering over parts of the USA, weird weather events like strange fogs around the world, Tesla Cyber Trucks exploding at Trump Tower, Terrorists driving trucks into crowds and of course California once again in flames. Getting involved in chatting about these events too early without much information is not the best idea and leads to wild speculations. I do love to theorize and hypothesize but there's a risk of looking a bit silly without waiting a bit longer to see what else unfolds. We are in an age of information but sometimes its information overload and sometimes the right information takes time to come to light. So for this episode I brought on one of my members. This was going to just be a member chat for the subscribers but I decided to release it for everyone as S7/E1. My guest was Hamish Chadwick and we had a very interest conversation. The main focus was the L.A fires and how it's very interesting that once again like so many cities before them it too is earmarked for a S.M.A.R.T City upgrade. We also veer off on a few tangents and towards the end talked about the Cyber Truck explosion as well and what our thoughts are on that event. Strap in for a wild 2025 folks. +++++++++++++++++ Remember the Bonus Content shows are available now to all Patreon supporters for just AU$8 a month!

On April 28, 1996, the quiet historic site of Port Arthur in Tasmania became the scene of a senseless act of violence, leaving 35 people dead and 23 others injured. We explore the chilling details of the day, examine the background of the perpetrator, and reflect on the seismic changes this tragedy sparked in Australian gun laws. How did such a small community cope with the aftermath? What lessons can we learn from this devastating event?

Join us as we navigate this heartbreaking case with respect, empathy, and an eye toward understanding the broader impacts of this tragedy.

G'day Folks, Merrry Christmas from all of us at the General Knowledge Podcast. We hope your 2024 has been great and all the best for a prosperous 2025. The 3 of us got together at Andy's place to record this one in person. The audio isn't the best but it should be ok still to listen to. We tackled various topics in our little Christmas catch-up. It was over 2 hours of some great chatting about current events such as: Government corruption and how overseas in countries like PNG it's more of an open corruption unlike here where it's more underhanded and clandestine. Invasive technology in our lives including in-car cameras watching us drive and senors that modern cars have almost taking control away from humans. AI systems taking over industries and removing humans from the workforce. Excessive immigration into Australia and the housing crisis which is hyper artificial/deliberate scarcity to drive the market up continually. Homelessness on the rise as a result. With the Olympics coming will the "COVID camps" be used to house the homeless temporarily? We raise the spectre of BitCoin again. Is it worth getting into that part of the crypto market? It is predicted to hit 1 million per coin by 2030. Antisemitism on the rise in Australia? Or is it another false flag? While Israel is marching into neighbouring countries to expland their 'Plan for Greater Israel' anti Israel sentiments are growing and people are being critical of their middle east agenda. So is this a jewish plan to distract the public and control the narrative? Plus much, much more! +++++++++++++++++ Remember the Bonus Content shows are available now to all Patreon supporters for just AU$8 a month!

G'day Folks, On tonight's episode i'm joined by Ethan Nash of TOTTnews.com to go over some major things happening here in Australia. Starting off with a bit of good news, the MAD Bill (Misinformation and Disinformation) like we talked about in the previous episode was defeated! Yes, after a major influx of submissions and petitions to the Australian Senate they have seen that their jobs were on the line and decided to cede to the whim of the public and not vote the MAD Bill into law. That was a major victory for the likes of is in the independent media circles. We then discuss the next piece of draconian legislation that's heading to the senate or should I say rushed through the senate for a vote with minimal time for discussion or amendments. The government clearly wants this legislation passed. It is the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024. They are trying to ban children under the age of 16 from using social media including YouTube. But kids using PornHub, another video platform albeit explicit, is acceptable and not covered in this legislation. So we can clearly see that this is NOT about protecting children. The government knows that in order to verify that you're not a child under 16 and can use the social media platforms you need a digital ID of some sort. ALL Australians will be susceptible to this scrutiny and bio-metric tracking and data basing. This legislation is a Trojan Horse to allow this to happen. So we can see that Digital ID and your bio-metric data is wanted federally. All that information in one place. This is yet another piece of the puzzle the government wants and is now getting. There are major concerns about privacy, data security and the potential for the misuse of our personal information. The government says 'Trust Us' to keep your data safe and secure. But we've seen time and time again the level of incompetence of government bureaucrats and departments as well as infrastructure. We're moving closer and closer to CBDC's and a social credit system that all of these laws are setting us up for. Rough days ahead folks if we can't defeat these Bills. +++++++++++++++++ Remember the Bonus Content shows are available now to all Patreon supporters for just AU$8 a month!

G'day Folks, On this latest episode Adam from the CrazzFiles.com joins me to discuss the US elections and subsequent Donald Trump win. By all accounts leading up to the election Harris was going to be the clear winner according to the legacy media. However, the American people showed up in droves to push Trump over the 270 minimum electoral college votes to secure a Republican win. Will we see the usual back and forth? Democrats (left) are in power. People get sick of it. People vote Republican (right). People get sick of it. People vote Democrat (left) and on and on it goes. Left, Right, Left, Right marching towards tyranny with each step no matter who's in charge. As per usual Trump is saying all the things we want to hear. Draining the swamp again etc... Like i have said before, judge a man by his actions not his words. Time will tell i guess. Then we move on towards highlighting the homegrown tyranny right here with the push for Digital I.D and the Misinformation & Disinformation (MAD) Bill. Censorship with a dash of mass surveillance thrown in for good measure. One cannot work without the other and Labor is promising Digital I.D won't be mandatory and its safe. Where have we heard that before I wonder? Big Daddy government wants to make sure you and your children are safe under their watchful eyes and rules. Of course this is the guise under which they want to sell you their new Bill on. We all know it's not about our safety. It never is. It's about control. They seek to remove our freedom to speak our minds and criticize those who govern us. Our attempt to hold them accountable for their tyrannical ways will be squashed. That is what this Bill is about. Censorship. The legacy media is dead and social media are how you reach the people. They don't control that. Yet... +++++++++++++++++ Remember the Bonus Content shows are available now to all Patreon supporters for just AU$8 a month!

G'day Folks, On this episode I catch up with our friend of the show and brother in arms Adam from the CrazzFiles.com. On this episode we discuss Australia's declining birth rate according to "official" statistics. However Adam is skeptical of this pronouncement and enlightens me to the possibility of this being a psy-op by our government. This leads into the current housing crisis and how it may tie in together. We then switch gears to discuss the Council of Port Headland in Western Australia passing a motion for COVID vaccines to be suspended. This is a positive sign that if the right people can get into the right places shit can get done. Let's hope it gains momentum. New evidence shows that nanobots are indeed inside the blood samples of the vaccinated and even the deceased blood samples still show activity on the nano scale. We touch on the new technology being rolled out in Japan courtesy of CSL in Australia. Self-Replicating mRNA vaccines! This indeed changes the rules of the game. Also, a new study came out recently showing that Myocarditis and Pericarditis ONLY occurs in the children that were COVID jabbed. None of those conditions were discovered in the unvaxxed group of over 1.7 million children surveyed. +++++++++++++++++ Remember the Bonus Content shows are available now to all Patreon supporters for just AU$8 a month!

G'day Folks, Rabbits is a member of mine who has been keeping in touch with me over the years and regularly shares tidbits of information that he has come across with me. He eventually decided to start cataloguing this information and began writing a book about it all. But don't think that this 3 part series is an attempt to sell you this compendium of information. No. Rabbits has compiled his information into a book, one that is constantly being updated, for his own understanding of the world we live in and how we got to where we are today. I for one completely understand this way of thinking as there's such a mountain of information and knowledge to try and piece together to try and make sense of it all. So instead of keeping it all in his brain and slowly going mad trying to figure it all out he has begun writing it all down. I suggested he come on for a chat to let us know where he is with his research and lead us down the rabbit hole one step at a time. Good news is my microphone isn't playing up anymore so no audio edits because of me. There was one edit as some of Rabbit's slides seemed to be missing.

G'day Folks, On today's show we reunite the lads for Episode 16 of Season 6. The boys are back together to discuss the state of affairs within Australia and the world. It's great to have both Andy and Ethan back with me for another great discussion of current events and identifying the tip-toe steps towards the technocratic dystopia that our governments are moving us closer to. One of the main things we've been seeing lately is the push towards the digital agenda. Not just currencies but digital I.D's as well. We talked about it back in November of 2022 nearly 2 years ago and the creep towards that Agenda goes on. Simply do a search of TOTTnews for 'Digital Identity' and you will be met with heaps of articles by Ethan documenting each move our fascist government makes to achieve this goal. His latest piece (linked below); Australian government unveils “world-leading” Digital ID system, shows us how Government Services Minister Bill Shorten has unveiled the "Trust Exchange", or "TEx", a new framework that will usher in Australia's long-envisioned digital identity agenda on a federal level. The pieces are being put in to place to make this a reality folks. Be ready. They want the power to simply 'Turn off your chip' as Aaron Russo put it in his interview with Infowars nearly 20 years ago. We briefly discuss the Olympic ceremonies including the 2012 one in London which was predictive programming for the plandemic. The current Paris games which showed us Greek mythology and their occult symbolism. Plus much more. Don't forget i've got a bunch of new stickers for sale as well.

G'day Folks, On today's episode i'm joined by Ethan Nash of TOTTnews in his long awaited return to the show. After a couple of months hiatus he's back to discuss the latest craziness going on this past week. What a week it's been as well. Not only do we catch up to discuss the Trump assassination attempt Part 2 with some further developments but the global IT outages due to CrowdStrikes latest security patch update sent out to Microsoft users around the world. A faulty software update issued by cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike led to a massive global IT disruption, affecting computers running Microsoft's Windows operating system and causing widespread outages across industries like airlines, banks, hospitals, and retailers. The buggy update caused Windows PCs to display the "Blue Screen of Death" error and get stuck in a boot loop, requiring manual resets. Could this be a basic stuff up? Was it this a training scenario gone wrong? Perhaps even a simulation like CyberPolygon? We're yet to see but bookmark this one folks for future reference. Part 2 of the Trump assassination attempt leads myself and Ethan to come to the same conclusion; that it was allowed to happen. Many pieces of the puzzle seem to lead us to believe that Trump was indeed supposed to be taken out and the attempt on his life was allowed to take place. Why? The deepstate has it's reasons but i guess the fighting factions within it wanted a Democrat or someone easier to control to have the title of America's Next Top President. +++++++++++++++++ Remember the Bonus Content shows are available now to all Patreon supporters for just AU$8 a month!

G'day Folks, On today's episode I am joined by returning guest, author Shannon Rowan. It's been 12 months since we last spoke which was to discuss her new book Shots Fired. Today we spend some time catching up and talking about the nonsense going on in her neck of the woods. The geoengineering going on prior to the massive fires that swept through only a few months after we last spoke seems to have had plenty to do with the devastation. Along with the mismanagement of the forests in general. Much the same that happened here in 2019. Shannon has two other books that she's working on. One is about the Tech and Digital Addiction and another about Vitamins and the Vitamin Industry. Shannon is hopeful she will have at least one published before the end of the year. We also discussed the apparent attack on the food industry including the new rise of the so-called "Bird Flu". Here in Australia they are slaughtering hundreds of thousands of chickens because authorities have apparently detected multiple strains of this fictitious bird flu. Make sure you support her great work and buy her books. +++++++++ Remember the Bonus Content shows are available now to all Patreon supporters for just AU$8 a month!

G'day Folks, The Red Fire Ant was first spotted in Brisbane, Queensland in 2001. Shortly after this a campaign of eradication and fear mind you, began. According to the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries: Under the Biosecurity Act 2014, everyone, including individuals and organisations, has a general biosecurity obligation (GBO) to take all reasonable steps to prevent the spread of fire ants. Queenslanders are legally required to report suspected sightings of fire ants within 24 hours of their discovery, and depending on the nests location take action to treat the pest. If you do not do this, penalties may apply. The National Fire Ant Eradication Program aims to find, contain and destroy fire ants in South East Queensland. Their 10-year Eradication Plan involves ... and i quote "an intensive and targeted eradication effort over South East Queensland, spanning from Lockyer Valley in the west to Redlands in the east, north to Moreton Bay and south to the Gold Coast". So why is this such a big deal? Part of this i believe stems from our history of introduced species wreaking havoc on our local environment and wildlife. Think the cane toad, rabbits and red foxes. Poor decisions were made in the past and there appears to be a stigma. Enter the Red Fire Ant. They do have a painful sting and can attack en mass if a nest is disturbed. Much like most ants we already have such as bull ants, meat ants and green ants. Eradication of an ant species in my humble opinion isn't possible. They're far too resilient. Containment too is also is a fools errand. So why is the Australian Government and Queensland State Government spending hundreds of millions of dollars, if not into the billions now, on trying to eradicate them? What measures are being employed to take on this unwinnable challenge and are they too drastic? Are those eradication measures themselves causing untold damage to sensitive ecosystems, domestic animals, livestock, even people? Well for this episode I am joined by Simon Mulvany from BeeTheCure.com and SaveTheBeesAustralia on Instagram as well as Sarah McGuire, a local Queensland resident turned activist whose town of Samford is in the crosshairs of the National Fire Ant Eradication Program. We aim to hopefully answer some of these questions and give us their testimonies and opinions on the Fire Ant Fiasco. +++++++++ Update: The water testing results have now been made available. There is indeed pyriproxifen in the creek and the south pine river as well!

G'day Folks, In today's episode I invited Ari Asulin back on the show to discuss the 13 Month Calendar. The way we track time and date is quite funny and as you look into it you realise it doesn't make a lot of sense. What if it was different? What if the calendar had 13 months each 4 weeks long and 7 days in those weeks? Well that only adds up to 364 days. The 365th day being a day of perhaps celebration, null day, resurrection day? Lot's of possibilities. But did you know we have had different calendars in the past? Some people even tried to get us to move to a 13 month calendar. For business it actually makes a lot of sense. But there's more to it than that. Plus why was our calendar changed in the past? Who was responsible for such major changes? Well folks today we do a pretty deep dive in the topic and go off on a few tangents as well. We hope you enjoy.

G'day Folks, Today i'm once again a guest on a fellow podcasters show. A returning guest in fact. It's been about 2 years since i appeared on Bonversations with Jon le Bon. JLB is an ex-pat living in Bulgaria and is the World's Leading Skeptic, Dinohoax expert, YouTuber, podcaster, and writer. Head to his website to find out more: JonleBon.com We like to catch up every so often and discuss the General Knowledge Podcast, the guests we've had on and some of the more interesting topics we've covered. While we do indeed share different viewpoints on many subjects we are both open minded and find so much of the realm we live in to be fascinating. JLB does deep dives into many topics and regularly finds himself going as deep as the primary source material will allow. When its traced back as far as it can do he finds things in our so called "history" only go back around 200 years. In this episode we touch on: What is behind the alternative history timelines being put forward by certain researchers? How much of the 'ancient artwork' found in museums around the world is fraudulent? Are any of the well-known conspiracy theories surrounding The Beatles legitimate? Part 2 of this call runs another hour and can be found at Bonversations dot com. This is the free 1st hour of his Bonversations series and the 2nd hour can be found at the link above. See JLB's article's here: https://medium.com/@johnlebon123 Listen to his appearance on The Higherside Chats here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iperlJiuVnM The 2nd hour is also available on my Patreon members & BuyMeACoffee members page along with hours and hours of bonus content for my members.

G'day Folks, On the latest episode of the General Knowledge Podcast Adam from the CrazzFiles.com catches up with me to discuss what's been going on in Australia over the last few weeks and more. As i'm sure everyone has seen there have been some high profile knife attacks in Sydney recently. One at a Westfield Shopping Centre in Sydney's famous Bondi area and another in a Church in Western Sydney where a Bishop was attacked mid sermon.  While there are still concerns over the legitimacy of the incidents, taking it on face value the Australian Government has wasted no time using these events as a way to promote their anti-freedom agenda.  The previously panned Misinformation Bill has had a revival due to the Australian Government manufacturing consent to get this pushed through parliament. The old adage 'Never let a good crisis go to waste' or even the playbook 'Problem - Reaction - Solution' is once again being taken by the horns and steered into play. The Digital ID Bills, the Misinformation Bill and the Criminal Code (Serious Vilification and Hate Crimes) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill which included provisions that led to up three years in jail for so-called “public acts of hate speech" are all a part of the Australian Governments plan to control the narrative from top to bottom with no opposition and the powers to lock up anyone that tries to say otherwise. So when the next scamdemic or planned event hits they have much tighter controls in place.  We also hear from a former Registered Nurse who was forced to leave her job an emergency nurse in Melbourne over the COVID vaccine mandates. Her testimony highlights the utter conflict of interests that the medical establishment and doctors have with the pharmaceutical industry. She even mentions how young adults and children are being pushed drugs and surgery to change their gender and it's basically all about profit for the industry and not about the mental care that these young people need.  I also bring to the table a recent article written by a doctor in the USA who, along with his colleagues, have seen an undeniable trend of the increase in the vaccine schedule with the increase in trandgenderism. Quite the eye-opener but the research and data behind it seems to match up. Plus the mechanisms on how this is occurring makes sense too. Put it this way, almost 100% of transgenders are on the autism spectrum. Coincidence? Please be sure to give us a 5 Star Rating and Review on Apple Podcasts and any other podcasting app you use.

G'day Folks, It's battle stations on today's episode as we identify another incursion by the predatory social engineers disguised as a welfare organization infiltrating our schools. Adam from the CrazzFiles.com joins me for this episode as he had recently sent me some disturbing news and I felt obliged to bring it to the worlds attention with Adam on today's show. Renmark High School in South Australia's rural region which is close to Victoria's North-west border recently had an incursion organized in conjunction with the School and Headspace, a national youth mental health foundation. According to the ABC Queer advocacy groups have been calling for more LGBTQIAP+ health and well-being services in regional areas (link below). Now we have these cretins pushing their gender agenda onto high school kids. In particular young girls in the 13-15yo age group (year 9 in school). (link below) This agenda covering disgusting talks on bestiality isn't new. Ethan at TOTTnews wrote an article 2 years ago about how a Professor Joanna Bourke spoke at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas in Sydney on 'The Ethics of Bestiality'. (link below) The continual push from these disturbed groups and individuals to normalize this type of illegal and abhorrent behaviour is shocking to say the least. The students at Renmark High School involved in the scandal were quietly removed from classes they had and taken to another room away from prying eyes and ears. NO teacher or representative from the school was present for this meeting. Only the Headspace organizers and the guest speaker. The year 9 girls were met with disturbing content almost immediately and after it became too much to bare some excused themselves to the toilets and never returned to the meeting due to the shocking and disturbing content. These groups just need to leave our children alone. Let kids be kids. Even a new landmark 15 year long study has confirmed that most gender-confused children grow out of it and that this trans nonsense is just a phase. (link below) Pushing this LGBTQIP+ agenda on our youth and promoting these ideals actually leads to more harm than good as attempted suicide rates more than double after gender reassignment surgery. Pushing drugs and medical procedures on these confused youth is not the answer. (link below) It seems to be that quite possibly reaffirming their natural state and assuring them that confusion at a young age is indeed a phase and that when they reach maturity their natural way of being seems to kick in for most. What's your thoughts on this topic? Has this high school gone too far? A commenter at Ethan's TOTTnews article sums it up best i think... "Haven't you figured it out yet? It's all to do with breaking down every societal norm. Preparing us for the ‘brave new world' the WEF have install for us. No gender, no race, no taboo and no sovereignty."

1996 in Port Arthur, Tasmania, a small island that is part of Australia, a mass shooting took place. It was and still is one of the most significant events in Australia's history. We refer to it as Australia's 9-11. But, what took place is under much debate. Did a lone gunman pull it off? Was the government involved? Did they actually do it themselves? There are a lot of questions surrounding this event. The catalyst that led to Australian citizens basically being disarmed as a nation.Email us at: downtherh@protonmail.com

G'day Folks, On today's episode Adam from the CrazzFiles.com joins me to discuss the latest news. Be sure to subscribe to the CrazzFiles Podcast and consider joining as a member of his to help out. He has specific member only podcasts regularly as well. Topics covered on today's show include: The EV push. Australia along with many other countries are going in lockstep towards the "Green Agenda" with new regulation set to come into force with the next year. Australia's top selling vehicles, utility trucks or Ute's as we call them, are going to have harsh emissions rules placed on them. Meaning many may be forced to go hybrid or worse, full EV. What's really behind this push? COVID narrative crumbling. The PCR Test which was the linchpin of the entire scam is now fully in doubt as being able to detect the Virus. Not that there's any such SARS CoV-2 virus to begin with or any virus at all for that matter. The deliberation of the Lisbon Appeal Court in Portugal ruled that the Azores Regional Health Authority had violated both Portuguese and international law by confining 4 German tourists to hotel quarantine. The judges also said that only a doctor can “diagnose” someone with a disease, and were critical of the fact that they were apparently never assessed by one. They were also scathing about the reliability of the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test, the most commonly used check for Covid. The conclusion of their 34-page ruling included the following: “In view of current scientific evidence, this test shows itself to be unable to determine beyond reasonable doubt that such positivity corresponds, in fact, to the infection of a person by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.” In the eyes of this court, then, a positive test does not correspond to a Covid case. The two most important reasons for this, said the judges, are that, “the test's reliability depends on the number of cycles used'' and that “the test's reliability depends on the viral load present.'' In other words, there are simply too many unknowns surrounding PCR testing. Russian Terror Attack. Moscow was recently the victim of a reported ISIS terrorist attack on its citizens. Was this attack real? Was it a drill? Was it a straight up hoax? Information is still trickling out but at first glance it does appear that citizens have been gunned down with many injured and killed. However with the advent and advancement in AI it has been determined that we can no longer believe any footage we view online or on television to be real. We have passed the nexus point of being able to trust online content as AI is simply just too powerful now.

1996 in Port Arthur, Tasmania, a small island that is part of Australia, a mass shooting took place. It was and still is one of the most significant events in Australia's history. We refer to it as Australia's 9-11. But, what took place is under much debate. Did a lone gunman pull it off? Was the government involved and/or actually do it themselves? There are a lot of questions surrounding this event. The catalyst that led to Australian citizens basically being disarmed as a nation. Email us at: downtherh@protonmail.com

On April 28th 1996 in Port Authur, a Australian state in Tasmania, it was a typical day for most. Families and Tourists from all over gathered to Port Arthur to take in sceneries, historical reenactments and live music. But that was until 1:30pm when a man named Martin Bryant open fired killing 35 people and wounding 23. Police questioned why Martin would commit such a horror and his response was “I did it for fun”.

Last time we spoke about the situation after the disastrous losses at Pyongyang and the Yalu River as well as the battle for Port Arthur. Coming off their tremendous success at Pyongyang and the battle of Yalu, the Japanese performed an offensive fording the Yalu and easily defeating the Qing forces at Jiuliancheng. After this the Japanese began to advance into the Liaodong Peninsula. One by one, each town saw Qing forces fleeing while giving little battle. Eventually the Japanese seized Jinzhou and Dalian. With bases of operations in hand they then could attack the formidable fortress of Port Arthur. As the Japanese advanced into the Port Arthur region, they came across mutilated corpses of their comrades driving a fiery need for vengeance into their hearts. The Japanese would take Port Arthur with absolute ease as the Qing yet again fled the scene, but this time the victory was met with a disastrous massacre.   #53 The First Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1895 Part 5: The Battle of Weihaiwei   Welcome to the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel where I cover the history of China and Japan from the 19th century until the end of the Pacific War. The massacre at Port Arthur was disastrous for Japan's public image. Thomas Cowan of the London Times went to Hiroshima on his way home after witnessing the massacre and met with Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu to tell him what he saw personally. Upon hearing the story, Mutsu told him “that an investigation would be made and that he showed no disposition to interfere with the correspondents duty and the reports were telegraphed on December 1st”. On December 16th the Japanese foreign ministry issued a formal statement to the foreign press on the matter  "The Japanese Government desires no concealment of the events at Port Arthur. On the contrary, it is investigating rigidly for the purpose of fixing the exact responsibility and is taking measures essential to the reputation of the empire. Japanese troops transported with rage at the mutilation of their comrades by the enemy, broke through all restraints and exasperated by the wholesale attempts [by Chinese soldiers] at escape disguised at citizens, they inflicted vengeance without discrimination. While the Japanese government "deplores" the excessive violence, it protested "exaggerations" in the press reports and insisted that "the victims, almost without exception, were soldiers wearing the stolen clothes of citizens." Three days later the London Times reported “that most foreign reporters agree that the excesses were committed, but say that they were excusable, and that they have had their parallels in the best European armies. The Japanese military promised they would also launch an inquiry into the matter, but no one ended up being punished. Luckily for Japan the west would later on become obsessed over the peace terms and their attention was less focused on the Port Arthur Massacre.  Meanwhile the Qing government was trying to deny there even was a defeat at Port Arthur, let alone a massacre. The Shanghai China Gazette had this to say "The most strenuous efforts have been made by the Chinese officials to conceal the fact that the great stronghold has passed out of their hands, and is now a de facto Japanese naval yard. Telegraphic notices have been sent...all over the empire by the officials saying that a wicked report has been set on foot by the enemy that they have captured Port Arthur, but it was utterly untrue, the place being garrisoned by 30,000 brave Chinese soldiers who would never give it up to the Japanese. Official telegrams to this effect were published to-day in all the native papers, and thousands of Chinese will thereby be kept in blissful ignorance of the terrible position in which China stands to-day. Ostrich-like, most of the Chinese prefer not to believe the unpleasant truth and rather listen to the barefaced mendacity of their wretched rulers. But the stupidity of the latter gentry, who have brought the country to its present desperate plight, is only emphasized by this false manoeuvre." A month later the same China Gazette asserted this "By many it is not yet known or admitted that Port Arthur has been taken and is held by the Japanese - even of the 'well-informed' officials. The same is said to be true in Peking." Of course the Qing court had good reason to try and conceal the defeat at Port Arthur. The mandate of heaven was under attack, the Japanese were pouring into the Manchu homelands of Manchuria. Internal rebellions could spring up at any moment, everything seemed to be hanging from a thread. After the defeats at Pyongyang and Yalu, Emperor Guangxu demanded to take personal control over the prosecution of war in Korea. He even wanted to leave the throne under Empress Dowager Cixi so he could concentrate on the frontlines, but his advisers pretty much put their foot down on that one. The Manchu leadership needed to maintain their control over national security….and luckily for them and unluckily for Li Hongzhang they had a scapegoat for the disasters.  In October of 1894, just before losing at Port Arthur, Prince Gong had been reinstated. A decade earlier he had been demoted because of the disastrous losses during the Sino-French War, but in reality Cixi just considered him a rival. He was appointed high commissioner of the Peking Field forces, co-president with Prince Qing of the Admiralty, the Zongli Yamen and of War Operations. Yes the age old tradition of tossing a ton of titles on a single person. The Qing government even created for him a small general headquarters. Prince Gong was the 6th song of the Daoguang Emperor, uncle in law of Cixi and alongside Li Hongzhang, one of China's top experts on foreign affairs. The foreign community respected him ever since the second opium war. Prince Qing had been the head of the Zongli Yamen since 1887. Thus two Manchu princes, Gong and Qing were in control of the capital's defense. Gong and Li Hongzhang were sharing responsibilities for the war, but Gong was specifically only responsible for the defense of the capital while Li Hongzhang retained responsibility for prosecuting the war against Japan.  After the fall of Port Arthur, Li Hongzhang went to the Qing court seeking punishment and within 24 hours he was deprived of all his titles, honours and office, ompf. And when all was said and done…he remained at his post. As the New York Times headlines stated at the time "Viceroy Li Hung Chang Has Lost the Rest of His Wardrobe." The foreign press had learnt much about China's practice of degrading and punishing officials, while simultaneously not actually implementing any policy change. Li Hongzhang would retain his post throughout the war, regardless of the titles and honours, he really was a scapegoat. And its not like he was not aware of this, upon receiving his punishments he began to toss mud at the Qing officials, blaming them for resisting railroad construction plans as now they were direly needed to deploy troops. He would also go on the record to complain naval funds had not been so forthcoming. Basically it was a big old Li Hongzhang “I told you so moment”. Colonel Maurice of the British Royal Artillery was very blunt when stating “Li Hongzhang is being treated as a scapegoat. He is the only man in China who has advocated European methods, and he is now being punished on account of the failure of the old Conservatives who refused to follow his advice." Back to the frontlines, upon taking Port Arthur, the Japanese did not rest long to continue their sweep towards Beijing. But the next important target was the naval base at Weihaiwei. There was also suggestions amongst the Japanese military leadership to perform a winter campaign in Manchuria as a diversion. The thought process being, to hit the Manchu homeland to divert many of their land forces away from the shores of Bohai and Shandong. The Qing had divided their forces in Manchuria into three armies forming a line between the coastline at Gaiping all the way to Liaoyang. The northmost army was stationed at Liaoyang. They were to defend the road to Mukden from the east via the Motian Pass and the south via Haicheng. If you pull up a map, you will notice the Motian Pass forms this bottleneck between Fenhuangcheng and Liaoyang. The second army took up a position at the port city of Niuzhuang and walled city of Haicheng. Lastly the third army commanded by General Song Qing was positioned at Gaiping. Now back at the end of October, Marshal Yamagata was pursuing Qing forces and his 5th division seized Fenghuangcheng unopposed. Their next objective was Haicheng, taking this would enable the 1st IJA in eastern Manchuria and 2nd IJA advancing up the Liaodong Peninsula to link up communications. It would also cut off the Qing in 3 directions, leaving them only a westward retreat. After Fenghuangcheng fell, General Song ordered 10,000 of his forces to advance to the Motian Pass threatening the rear lines of the Japanese marching upon Haicheng. This prompted General Nozu Michitsura to move his 10th brigade to Motian pass to prevent the Qing from concentrating there. He was successful at repelling the Qing forces gathering there and by late november the Qing were routing. From there the Japanese were forced to pull back to Fenghuangcheng to resupply, but in that time period the Qing began to reconcentrate at the Motian Pass. Then the Qing launched an offensive at Fenghuangcheng, but were served two terrible defeats on December 9th and 14th. While this was going on the 5th brigade under General Katsura Taro was pursuing a Qing Army led by General Ma, around 6000 men strong who looked like they were going to attack Port Arthur. Katsura pursued Ma's forces to Haicheng where he not only defeated them, he also seized the city by December 13th.  The seizure of Haicheng had ruined General Song's plans, now the Qing line of defense was cut in two by a Japanese army. General Song was forced to re-establish a new defensive line. On the 18th of december he ordered 10,000 of his forces to storm the town of Niuzhuang, but they were intercepted along the way by the IJA 5th brigade. They were forced to withdraw, suffering 500 casualties vs 440 for the Japanese. The next day, the Japanese attacked the retreating Qing forces around Ganwangzhai a town just southwest of Haicheng. The Qing put up a stiff resistance, but were forced to give ground. This prevented General Song's army from reaching the road to Liaoyang to connect with the other Qing armies to the north. The Qing would try four times to retake Haicheng during January and February to no avail. Then on January 10th, the 2nd IJA launched a three-pronged attack upon the walled city of Gaiping. The cities 5000 strong garrison fought for their lives, they had prepared for the attack by causing the water in the nearby streamers next to the city to freeze on an incline, making it difficult for the Japanese to cross. While this tactic would have been high effective centuries ago, with modern artillery it was undercut gravely. The Qing would have 1200 casualties defending Gaiping while inflicting 307 upon the Japanese. 10,000 Qing reinforcements were arriving at the scene from Yingkou whereupon they found the retreating garrison and this tossed everything into a panic. But to the relief of General Song, the Japanese temporarily halted their advance, due to overstretching their logistical lines. Now the Japanese had an enormous supply route going all the way from Jiuliancheng to Haicheng and Gaiping.  General Song Qing would not give up and launched a major counteroffensive to retake Gaiping and Haicheng. 20,000 Qing forces stormed into the region and were beaten back mostly by the 5th Brigade. General Song's men received 300 casualties for their efforts while inflicting only 41 upon the Japanese. Undeterred, General Song tossed two more offensives between January 17th to the 21st of February. The offensives greatly strained his men and just when their logistical supply lines were beginning to suffer, General Nozu prepared his counter offensive. On the 16th of February as 15,000 Qing soldiers attacked Haicheng in 3 columns led by Generals Zhang Xun, I K'o T'ang and Xu, they would also be aided by bandit forces the next day. On the 21st the Qing bombarded Haicheng with artillery, while they received reinforcements in the form of 10,000 men under Governor Wu Dacheng from Shanhaiguan. Meanwhile the Japanese were also reinforced by elements of the 1st division. On the 21st, the 1st division led by General Yamaji assaulted a large hill named Taping-shan being defended by forces led by General Ma Yukun. By the 24th General Yamaji seized the hill forcing the Qing to take up new positions in nearby villages, and soon Yamaji unleashed artillery from the hilltop upon them. The Qing had to withdraw from the area after receiving 800 casualties. The fighting was extremely rough for the hill, not to mention the winter conditions costing the Japanese 250 casualties from combat and another 1500 cases of frostbite.  On the 28th, General Nozu Michitsure unleashed his counterattack aimed at Niuzhuang and Liaoyang. He began with a large artillery bombardment, then sent his forces in a wide front offensive. The Qing defenders were driven into a rout, many retreating north towards Jinzhou, offering only rear guard actions as they did. Lt General Katsura Taro pursued some of the retreating Qing all the way to the walls of Liaoyang, reaching it by March 3rd while the main bulk, the 3rd and 5th divisions under General Nozu advanced upon Niuzhuang and Liaoyang eventually by the 4th of March. During the rout the Qing had taken another 400 casualties, while inflicting 124 upon the Japanese. General Song then tosses 2500 men led by General Xu at Haicheng yet again only to be repelled by the IJA 1st division.  On March 3rd, the 3rd and 5th IJA divisions began their assault of Niuzhuang by first softening the city up with an artillery barrage for 2 hours. The artillery barrage did more than soften up the city, all the Qing defenders abandon their wall positions and move into the interior. The Japanese 5th division enters the city with zero resistance to find 2000 of the 5000 Huai army troops defending Niuzhuang are fleeing. Those who stay fight fiercely against the 6000 men of the 5th IJA division, but in the end they are forced to abandon Niuzhuang after 1900 deaths. 633 Qing defenders are taken prisoner. The Japanese were forced to destroy nearly all the buildings in the city using artillery to smoke out Qing defenders and this goes on well into the night. By 11pm, the Qing have all departed the city. While the battle over Niuzhuang was occurring, the 1st and 3rd divisions began an attack against Yingkou. General Song under threat of encirclement was forced to withdraw from Yingkou over to Tianzhuangtai. By March 7th, the battle for Yingkou becomes nothing more than sporadic resistance, but the port city falls with relative ease. At port in Yingkou the Japanese seized the gunboat Mei Yuan and two transports that were icebound. General Song rallied around 11,000 men at Tianzhuangtai to continue launching counter offensives, but General Nozu kept up the pace to hinder the Qing from recuperating. The 5th Brigade was left to garrison Niuzhuang and Yingkou as the rest of the Japanese advanced upon Tianzhuangtai. The Qing were taken off balance by this and tried to put up a defense, but were utterly defeated resulting in 2000 casualties and lost their entire artillery force which was captured by the Japanese. The Japanese loses were reported to be unbelievably low at 16 deaths and 144 wounded. As a result of this last defeat, General Song's army ceased to exist as a real force. Full scale combat in Manchuria pretty much ended with the seizure of Tianzhuangtai, though minor skirmishes would occur in hill areas with pockets of Qing resistance. The victory over Yingkou gave the Japanese complete control over the southeastern portion of Manchuria, and when April came around, Yingkou's harbor would be ice free allowing for further supply lines via the sea. The Japanese had thus acquired a base of operations to perform offensives within Zhili and thus the road to Beijing was open. The offensive against Beijing would see the 1st and 3rd divisions of the 1st IJA marching towards Shanhaiguan, while the 5th division would garrison parts of Manchuria and the 2nd and 6th divisions would be held in reserve around Dalian. At this point Emperor Guangxu began shuffling officials. Li Hongzhang was relieved of his command in the field, and this was handed over to a 6 man strong committee of defense headed by Prince Chun. Alongside this, Li Hongzhangs viceroyship over Zhili, something he had held for quarter of a century, was handed over to Liu Kunyi. Liu Kunyi tried to pretend he was too ill to take the appointment and would remain in Beijing through January of 1895, continuously trying to weasel out of the new post. Rumors began to emerge that Liu Kunyi was an opium addict, which was not unheard of, Generals like Ye Zhichao and Wei Rugui were known opium addicts. Despite his attempts to thwart it, Liu Kunyi now commanded the Xiang Army, composed of large numbers of Hunanese and Hubei forces. By December 28th, Liu Kunyi was made commander in chief of the imperial armies within and without the Great Wall, including the territories of Zhili, Shandong and Manchuria. The defense committee had organized 50,000 men for the defense of Zhili, stationing them around Shanhaiguan, with another 55,000 around Beijing. This meant Liu Kunyi had a whopping 105,000 men under his commander with 80,000 of the provincial forces within the theater of operations. General Song Qing meanwhile still held command over 35,000 men in Manchuria alongside another General who was commanded 10,000 at Liaoyang.  As all of the shuffling was going on for the Qing, the Japanese did not simply lay idle. Their primary objective remained Weihaiwei and in January of 1895 as their forces were marching through Manchuria slowly towards Beijing, they split up the 2nd IJA. In the third week of January the entire 2nd division and most of the 6th were handed over to Marshal Oyama who redeployed them across the Yellow Sea to Shandong Province in preparation for an assault upon Weihaiwei. Now when the Japanese attacked Port Arthur, they did so intended to take her naval facilities intact so they could use them, but for Weihaiwei the goal would be much different. The Japanese intended to destroy the Beiyang fleet within her port, so that the seaways would no longer be under any threat, thus allowing Japan to move troops at will, though by this point they had basically already achieved this.  The advance upon Weihaiwei began with a diversionary bombardment of the outlying town of Dengzhou on January 18th. Dengzhou was roughly 100 miles west of Weihaiwei and its defense consisted of four 210mm guns and six 150mm guns. The purpose of the diversionary attack was to turn the Qing attention westward, while the Japanese landed forces 30 miles east of Weihaiwei at the easternmost tip of the Shandong Peninsula known as Rongcheng. Japanese forces departed Dalian on January 19th and 22nd, landing between the 20-23rd. Dengzhou was bombarded by the cruisers Naniwa, Akitsushima and Yoshino as the 2nd IJA forces led by General Oyama Iwao landed at Rongcheng. His 2nd IJA consisted of the 6th division under General Kuroki Tamemoto and the 2nd division under Lt General Sakuma Samata. The 2nd IJA divided into two columns marching west towards Weihaiwei, one over a coastal rode, the other around 4 miles further inland. The Japanese ushered in the Chinese New Year by timing the invasion of Weihaiwei on January 29th. It was the most important holiday to the Chinese and perhaps the Japanese chose it specifically to not only surprise the Chinese but also hammer in a message “that the old days were finished: Wake up and Modernize or suffer dire consequences” Once in the vicinity of Weihaiwei the Japanese performed a three-pronged attack upon the landward fortifications south and east of the town. Weihaiwei had three categories of defenses; those on two harbor islands, those on the mainland overlooking the northwestern entrance to the harbor and those on the mainland overlooking the southeastern entrance to the harbor. These fortifications were equipped with the best artillery available: a total of 161 guns, between 7-24cms worth, mostly of Krupp and Armstrong design; the northern forts had 43 guns; Liugongdao island had 61 guns; Ridao island had 8 guns; the southern forts had 49 guns and the harbor itself held 15 Beiyang warships, 13 torpedo boats and 248 sea mines and booms. Nearly 11,000 Qing defended the city, with another 4000 or so on their way from Tianjin, but they would not make it in time. The troops were led by Admiral Ding Ruchang and Commander of the Dingyuan Liu Buchan. The two Beiyang commanders had little faith in the Qing soldiers under their disposal, and only really trusted the sailors of the Beiyang fleet. The IJN combined fleet had dispatched a naval patrol outside Weihaiwei's harbor threatening any ships that tried to escape with torpedo attacks, leaving the entire Beiyang fleet bottled up. The weather conditions hit as low as -6, with severe blizzards, thus terrible for the incoming Japanese, but a typical summer for Canadians, haha. The most outlying forts were hit first by Japanese artillery. This resulted in a 9 hour long fight until the Qing defenders abandoned the forts, leaving them all nearly intact. During the storming of the outlying forts, Major General Odera Yasuzumi leading the 11th infantry regiment, was hit by shrapnel from a shell fired from the Jiyuan. Odera would die from his wounds and became the only Japanese general to die in combat during the war and the highest ranking Japanese death of the war. He would be posthumously promoted to 3rd Court Rank and his son was ennobled with the title of “Danshaku / Baron”. With the outlying forts seized, the Japanese began turning them upon Weihaiwei itself battering it before the men stormed Weihaiwei on February 2nd.  To probably no surprise of any of you listeners by now, the Japanese entered the city to find the garrison had fled the night before. It turned out when the siege began, the Chinese hospital staff were the first to flee, leaving some foreigners to try and take over medical services. Admiral Ding Ruchang only succeeded in having a few of the forts surrounding the harbor destroyed before the Japanese simply grabbed them. Now the very guns that were meant to protect the Beiyang fleet trapped within the harbor were unleashed upon them. To make matters worse on the night of February the 3rd the Japanese tried to remove the booms blocking the entrance to the harbor but were unable to. The following night they tried again and this time were successful allowing two squadrons of torpedo boats to enter the harbor. Two IJN torpedo boats began opened fire to cause a distraction as others snuck in to try and torpedo the Dingyuan. The Dingyuan received crippling damage as 3 other Qing warships were sunk. The following night a squadron of IJN torpedo boats made repeated attacks upon the largest Qing warships at anchor, disabling two and a transport. By February the 7th the IJA and IJN were launching combined bombardment attacks upon the Beiyang Fleet. In response the Qing torpedo boats not already disabled tried to make a break for it, unsuccessfully running into a IJN blockade. Out of 13 ships, 6 were destroyed and 7 were captured intact by the Japanese. As defeat was certain, Admiral Ito Sukeyuki tried to make an appeal to Admiral Ding Ruchang, who happened to be his personal friend. He wrote a letter urging his old friend to come back with him to Japan. He advised ding to prevent any further loss of life by capitulating and to accept political asylum in Japan until the war's end and that he assured him, he would return to his native land and could secure China's future by setting new policies. "It is not the fault of one man that has brought China into the position she now occupies. The blame rests with the errors of the Government that has long administered her affairs. She selects her servants by competitive examination, and literary attainments are the test" In the modern age China owes her preservation and her integrity to-day wholly to the fact that she then [thirty years ago] broke away from the old and attached herself to the new." Now Ding despite being the Admiral of the Beiyang Fleet, in a typical Qing fashion was greatly out of his element. He had formerly been a cavalry officers, he actually held little naval training at all, he was not even very popular amongst the sailors. He was a man of Anhui province, but most naval officers hailed from Fujian. As was typical, the Qing dynasty favored loyalties rather than military experience, thus led Ding to where he was. He resisted capitulation until the very end and had actually tried to die in action multiple times by standing on deck when bombardments were occurring. According to a foreign advisor "Ding declared at first that capitulation was impossible; but later he said he could arrange it by committing suicide, and so save the lives of many." Depending on the sources you read, he chose to kill himself, or his sailors actually proded him with knives to do so. Admiral Ding Ruchang killed himself via opium overdose, followed by Admiral Liu Buchan and Captain Yang Yonglin who shot himself as the Japanese boarded the Dingyuan. Ding had no choice but to kill himself as Emperor Guangxu had already degraded him the prior summer for not preventing the IJN from entering Bohai. After the fall of Port Arthur the emperor degraded him again and tried to bring him to the Board of Punishment where he would have been beheaded, had it not been for Li Hongzhang intervening on his behalf. Before killing himself Ding wrote back to Ito "I am thankful for the admiral's friendship, but I cannot forsake my duties to the state. The only thing now remaining for me to do is to die." Liu Buchan before doing the same had ordered the scuttling of as many of the Beiyang warships as possible with explosives. Command of the Beiyang fleet fell onto the Scottish born Vice Admiral John McClure who wrote a letter of surrender in Admiral Ding's name on the morning of February 12th. Per the terms of the letter; the remaining ships, forts and stores were surrendered to the Japanese at the request all the Qing troops, civilians and foreign advisors would be allowed to depart unmolested.  Dings suicide wiped away the stain of defeat and made him a tragic war hero to both China and Japan. The Japanese admired his final act since it fit within their bushido code. Admiral Ding alongside the other commanders who committed suicide were honored by the Japanese. They accorded them full military honors and granted their men extraordinary leniency. An American professor who taught English in Japan shortly after the war wrote of the event, explaining its significance to western audiences. "What would have been the feelings of the North for Robert E. Lee if, at Appomattox [when the South capitulated to the North at the end of the American Civil War], rather than share the fate of the gallant men he had surrendered, he had committed suicide from a sense of devoted patriotism? Instead of admiring him for the unsullied hero and knightly character that he was, North and South alike would have despised him. And yet nine out often of my Japanese schoolboys wrote of the suicide of Admiral Ting [Ding] as the noblest thing of which they had ever heard." The letter of capitulation would be the first one handed over to the Japanese without the use of the term Woren. Later on when the war was officially over, the Qing soldiers and officers signed promises not to take further part in the war and were set free by the Japanese. The officers were provided safe passage aboard the gunboat Kangji, which carried the bodies of Ding Ruchang and the other dead captains. The IJN went out of their way to fly flags at half mast and the flagship fired a long salute as the boat bearing Ding's body left port. The fall of Port Arthur had been Empress Dowager's birthday present from Japan. Li Hongzhangs had come on Februray 12th, with the fall of Weihaiwei and 3 days short of his 72nd birthday. Back in Beijing, upon hearing the news of Weihaiwei's fall, Emperor Guangxu in a fit of rage authorized the governor of Shandong province to behead all fugitives without requiring to report back to the capital. The New York Times said of the event "Emulating Alice's Wonderland Queen, China's Emperor Says of Wei-Hai-Wei Defenders, 'Off with Their Heads.'" Some of the Qing leadership began advising the court they should hire foreign mercenaries or even engage Chinese fishermen to attack the Japanese home islands.

It was he, who offered surrender. In his own words "I of a charitable state of mind, and so could not bear to see Japanese troops going to destruction before my fresh battalions in this severe cold."

The Japanese had defeated countless Qing armies in Manchuria and now had neutralized China's last great naval port of Weihaiwei. Would the Qing court bend the knee to the Japanese, or continue the fight?
