Trust Them Not to Turn Off Your Electricity · The Slippery Slope

  OK, everyone would have heard of this analogy at least once, I'm
• 0:14
  sure. About the frog in a boiling pot
• 0:17
  of water. You know this analogy about
• 0:20
  well, it's it's a metaphor taken from an anecdotal parable about
• 0:24
  boiling a frog in the parable states that a frog placed in
• 0:28
  boiling water will immediately try to save itself, but once
• 0:32
  placed in cool water that is gradually brought to a boil will
• 0:36
  not notice the heat until it is boiled to death.
• 0:40
  The analogy is often used to describe abusive relationships
• 0:43
  and this kind of thing. Anyway, I was thinking about
• 0:46
  this analogy. This is how I feel the the world
• 0:52
  in general, but specifically Australia.
• 0:54
  Let's just behind him what's happening in Australia.
• 0:56
  This is how I feel like we Australians are just, you know,
• 1:00
  sitting in that nice cool place and the temperatures slowly
• 1:03
  getting slowly heating, getting turned up and we're slowly being
• 1:07
  bought to a boil and no one's really noticing.
• 1:11
  We're getting boiled to death. No one's noticing.
• 1:14
  We got all these things happening and we just we keep on
• 1:17
  making allowances. I see our leadership, whether
• 1:22
  you look at political leadership or leadership within police,
• 1:26
  which I just happened to talk about quite a bit.
• 1:30
  It's very poor. And yet we, we slightly let it,
• 1:34
  it's decayed over generations and we've, we've just allowed it
• 1:38
  to happen. We just put up with it.
• 1:40
  We put up with the corruption that we see in government.
• 1:43
  We put up with the corruption that we see in, in our law
• 1:46
  enforcement. We put up with so much.
• 1:51
  It's just so I think that that analogy of the boiling the frog
• 1:57
  being boiled is, you know, very apropro to Australia.
• 2:03
  Why I'm saying all this? So I did an episode in 2021.
• 2:09
  You can't even get it on YouTube anymore.
• 2:11
  You'd have to, I'll put up the link, but you can only listen to
• 2:13
  it in on Spotify. Now, please, if you do listen to
• 2:17
  it, be gentle, OK? It's back when I, you know, not
• 2:23
  long first started doing the podcasts and I could only do it
• 2:27
  on the Spotify podcast app. There was no, it was only all
• 2:31
  audio. There's no video, nothing like
• 2:33
  that. And I had the little music
• 2:35
  playing in the background and that so just, you know, OK, I
• 2:38
  get it. It's a little corny.
• 2:40
  It's a little hard to hear some of it.
• 2:41
  But if you do listen to it, be kind.
• 2:46
  That's all I'm saying. I know it's not the best, the
• 2:49
  best production, that's for sure.
• 2:51
  Anyway, So getting on to this. So 2021 I did this episode and
• 2:55
  it's called Will electric vehicles mean more government
• 2:58
  control? Put the link up for so you can
• 3:01
  listen to it if you want. The whole reason why I was
• 3:04
  talking about this is in the UK, they wanted to, at that time
• 3:07
  they were looking at passing it and it's already passed, but
• 3:10
  they were proposing laws to, to be able to switch off EV home
• 3:16
  charges during, well, they said it would be during peak hours.
• 3:20
  You know, if the, if the load got too much for the, for the
• 3:23
  grid, well then they'd be able to turn it off.
• 3:27
  The governments would be able to flick a switch and turn off your
• 3:32
  EV home charger. So if you're building a new
• 3:35
  home, everything would have to be connected up to the central
• 3:38
  grid and they would be monitoring your electric
• 3:43
  electricity usage. But if you were, you know, had
• 3:48
  your own supply going on, solar power and all that kind of
• 3:51
  thing, and had your, your battery connected, they would be
• 3:54
  able to turn it off. And if you were charging your
• 3:56
  electric vehicle, they'd be able to switch that off too.
• 3:58
  If there was too much load coming over the grid.
• 4:01
  And I'm looking at it, reading it going where government
• 4:05
  control, all I can see, all I could think of is this is a way
• 4:10
  for government to be able to control the masses in the
• 4:14
  future. So many people heading towards
• 4:17
  electric vehicles and the more people that were connected to
• 4:22
  the centralised grid and the government would be able to
• 4:24
  monitor and just flip the switch if they decided, you know, there
• 4:29
  was too much load going on. So hey, you don't, you can't
• 4:33
  charge your electric vehicles. All I could see is problems and
• 4:36
  government control. So so anyway, so I did this very
• 4:42
  corny, very corny episode in 2021, October of 2021.
• 4:48
  So you can imagine my surprise actually here I'll bring up the
• 4:53
  so you can just see what the episode looks like.
• 4:56
  There you go. Will electric vehicles mean more
• 4:59
  government control? Yes.
• 5:01
  So that's so that's on Spotify. So anyway, so imagine my
• 5:07
  surprise when I saw this in reading through this article
• 5:13
  last night. And I thought, wow, I was
• 5:15
  talking about this a couple of years ago, saying, wait, this is
• 5:17
  going to lead us down a bad path because we're just giving over
• 5:21
  more control to the government. You know, there's all this talk
• 5:25
  about 15 minute cities, which is obviously what they want to try,
• 5:29
  and they're trying to direct our civilization into 15 minute
• 5:33
  cities. If they want everyone to go into
• 5:36
  electric vehicle use, why do they want this?
• 5:39
  Because they can control our comings and goings.
• 5:42
  They can control their movements.
• 5:43
  Tell us where and when we can go to places.
• 5:46
  This is what I think will eventually happen.
• 5:49
  Anyway, let's check out this video.
• 5:51
  And yeah, I don't think it's any surprise.
• 5:55
  This is what this is what we've got going on.
• 6:00
  It might not look like it, but Pippa Buchanan's house is in
• 6:03
  many ways a modern type of power plant.
• 6:06
  This is literally the beating heart of the system.
• 6:09
  A battery is attached to the wall of her garage at Kawarima,
• 6:13
  3 hours South Perth. The battery in turn charged by
• 6:17
  an array of solar panels on the roof above.
• 6:19
  Inside the house, the system largely runs everything from the
• 6:23
  lights in the oven to the fridge and the washing machine.
• 6:26
  It runs everything, It's not bad.
• 6:27
  It's exported. We probably we are oversupplied
• 6:31
  for our current needs. Like we've got a small child,
• 6:34
  she doesn't use that much energy.
• 6:36
  Like millions of other Australians, Pippa and her
• 6:39
  husband took the plunge and invested in solar four years
• 6:43
  ago. But unlike most others, their
• 6:45
  arrangement is unusual. They're part of a so called
• 6:48
  virtual power plant in which an energy company leases them solar
• 6:52
  panels and a battery in return. There's a catch.
• 6:55
  When they need to, they can use our battery either as storage or
• 7:00
  as supplier to the grid or and they can also occasionally turn
• 7:05
  our solar panels off if they need to if they're.
• 7:08
  Do you hear what she just said? They can also occasionally turn
• 7:12
  our solar panels off if there's a need to.
• 7:15
  That's exactly what you want. Much supply.
• 7:18
  Energy companies say the circumstances where solar needs
• 7:21
  to be spilled are rare and households are forewarned and
• 7:25
  compensated. They say Australia's occasional
• 7:27
  overabundance of solar needs to be managed and VPPS can help.
• 7:33
  When you install solar and battery in people's homes, they
• 7:35
  all individually have a power plant that can provide that
• 7:39
  exact same service, but they're too small individually.
• 7:43
  When you put them together, they can add up to something that's
• 7:46
  quite significant. Coordinating Australia's rapidly
• 7:49
  growing fleet of solar panels, batteries and other clean tech
• 7:53
  looms as a key plank and key challenge of the energy
• 7:56
  transition. Experts say it should be
• 7:58
  encouraged, particularly where households participate
• 8:01
  willingly, but they're warning against heavy handedness.
• 8:05
  Building a network that is oriented around the customer is
• 8:08
  the issue, and it's really one that government needs to get a
• 8:13
  solid grip on. Trust is everything in in the
• 8:17
  energy industry and, and just generally with, with any brand
• 8:19
  trying to do business with, with customers.
• 8:21
  For Pippa Buchanan, the sacrifice is worth the rewards.
• 8:25
  It's a. Real privilege to be able to
• 8:27
  have solar panels, you know, to, to take advantage of, of the
• 8:31
  technology, but there's also a responsibility to the the
• 8:35
  greater health of the grid. Through adaptation comes
• 8:39
  resilience. OK, So what do you think of that
• 8:41
  video? Do do you think it's a good
• 8:43
  thing though? Look, I'm, I'm not against solar
• 8:45
  panels and solar power, not against the batteries.
• 8:48
  I think it's a fantastic idea. And I think if you can get off
• 8:53
  the grid, my personal choice would be to be completely off
• 8:56
  grid. That's my personal choice.
• 8:59
  I, I do, I do have some concerns.
• 9:03
  You know, these did you hear the conversation, the, the, the
• 9:06
  narrative there, the talk? Well, you know, it's all, it's
• 9:08
  all about trust. The government needs to get a
• 9:10
  handle on this, but you know, trust between the customer and
• 9:17
  the and the electricity supplier, you're giving them the
• 9:23
  ability to shut down, shut down your power and, and trusting
• 9:30
  that they're going to do the right thing.
• 9:32
  And supposedly, supposedly they have to give you notice when
• 9:36
  they're going to do these things.
• 9:37
  So except for obviously when there's an emergency, when, you
• 9:41
  know, government can declare an emergency and so, well, we just
• 9:45
  have to do this or we'll give you notice, right?
• 9:48
  It'll be about 5 minutes notice. But the fact that we're called
• 9:53
  upon to trust the government, to trust these these entities who
• 9:58
  have control over our power and can and, you know, supposedly
• 10:04
  allowed to just be able to switch it off.
• 10:07
  But it's all about trust. I've got no trust.
• 10:09
  What I think, what I believe, where I believe this will
• 10:14
  eventually take us. I think the government's.
• 10:20
  And this isn't just happening in Australia, This is happening
• 10:23
  globally. OK, There might be a little bit
• 10:25
  of a, a pause on this because of what's happened in America.
• 10:29
  And you know, they've got the Republicans in at the moment and
• 10:32
  there's a bit more common sense flowing.
• 10:36
  We are being thrust down this line of clean energy.
• 10:43
  But the real reason why government is wanting us to go
• 10:47
  down there is because they want to gain control.
• 10:51
  They want to be able to push us down there so they can in the
• 10:54
  long run, switch us off, switch the power off.
• 10:58
  Hey, no, no, we don't want you out there.
• 11:00
  We don't want you doing other things.
• 11:02
  We don't want you. We want to be able to control
• 11:04
  because it'll be for the sake of the environment.
• 11:07
  Well, no, no, these people aren't allowed to use their
• 11:09
  vehicles today. In the long run, this is taking
• 11:13
  us down towards what will happen during the, as I said, I'm a
• 11:16
  Christian, down towards what will happen in the tribulation
• 11:19
  period where you cannot buy or sell, you can't buy or sell, or
• 11:22
  you do want to buy or sell. Well, we're also going to
• 11:26
  control whether you can actually leave your home.
• 11:29
  This is where we're going. This is what climate activists
• 11:32
  want. They want to be able to control.
• 11:34
  It's all good for them to fly around the country, fly around
• 11:37
  the world and tell everyone else what they need to do and how
• 11:40
  they can't, you know, get out in their cars and drive around
• 11:44
  while they get out in their multi $1,000,000 jets and fly
• 11:48
  around everywhere and, you know, fly it back to their massive
• 11:51
  mansions and do whatever they want.
• 11:53
  But you and I, they need to control us.
• 11:57
  They need to control us. This has been coming along for
• 12:00
  years and years. As I said, I did that episode in
• 12:04
  October 2021. It came into the UK and it's
• 12:09
  being pushed into the back door in Australia.
• 12:12
  The more control they have, the more they'll be able to dictate
• 12:16
  what it is that we can and cannot do in our private lives.
• 12:21
  Nothing will be private anymore and we're just going to see more
• 12:25
  government control. We're going to see more heavy
• 12:28
  handedness from police. The reason why I want to talk
• 12:35
  about this today and the reason why I want to talk about that in
• 12:37
  2021 is you can see this is coming.
• 12:42
  You can see, I think if we all, you know, wake up and get out of
• 12:47
  the, the boiling water that's slowly getting turned up, you
• 12:51
  can see what is coming down the track.
• 12:54
  You can, you can see the danger that is coming ahead.
• 12:57
  And we need to be warning each other.
• 12:59
  We need to be talking about it. We need to be able to make these
• 13:02
  decisions ourselves and not just, you know, not just have
• 13:06
  legislation coming in the back door that we don't even know
• 13:09
  about it. And as we see here in Australia,
• 13:12
  they constantly say, oh, we're going to, we're going to pass
• 13:15
  this legislation. Hey, don't look into it too
• 13:17
  heavily. Don't, don't analyse it too
• 13:20
  much. We don't want to see all the
• 13:22
  detail. But the devil is always in the
• 13:24
  detail. So we need to scrutinise all
• 13:28
  legislation. We need to wake up.
• 13:31
  Don't be like the frog being slowly boiled in the water.
• 13:37
  We need to wake up and see the dangers that are coming towards
• 13:42
  us. Our government does not have our
• 13:46
  best interests at heart. This will not be good if you go
• 13:51
  and give control to these, to these entities, to the
• 13:55
  government so they can just flick the switch and tell you,
• 13:57
  oh, sorry, we've just declared an emergency.
• 14:00
  So we've just had to flick your power off and you can't use,
• 14:04
  we're going to take the energy and use it for ourselves.
• 14:07
  You can't use it. This is not good.
• 14:10
  We need to wake up Australia. This is all my opinion.
