The Scots have been long renowned for their fighting spirit. Think William Wallace and his mates, armed with sticks and a few claymores, wearing nothing more than last year’s drapes and some overworked and misplaced blue eyeshadow, giving the English a right Royal thumping. Scottish MP, Struan Stevenson is not only ready to cry “freedom”, … Continue reading We Shall Fight Them On the Beaches

We are a group of citizens concerned about the rapid spread of industrial wind power generation installations across Australia.
Victims: John and Anne Carter
STT would like to introduce John and Anne Carter, who have lived next to the Crookwell wind farm in NSW since it began operation in 1998. Although these cattle farmers are not troubled by audible noise as their other neighbours are, they are impacted by infrasound - Anne in particular as well as their animals. … Continue reading Victims: John and Anne Carter
Promises, promises ….
STT's heard them all before - the slew of "promises" that the wind industry will invest Gazillions of Dollars and create Millions of groovy "green" jobs. Well, you know the saying: "you can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?" Seems the big "talkers" ran out of legs today, as they explained to … Continue reading Promises, promises ….
Ah, Siemens – a “great bunch of lads”
In our last post, we uncovered efforts by turbine manufacturing giant, Siemens to become a leading producer of WMDs. Not only are they keen to "kill and maim", it seems these boys know how to play mean and "real" dirty when it comes to money. "Ways and means" kinda guys, if you follow our drift. … Continue reading Ah, Siemens – a “great bunch of lads”
IWTs or WMDs?
You’ll remember “Prowind” breaking the silence over, what was, the best kept secret in Defence circles: that giant wind turbines are being deployed as weapons of mass destruction. Commenting on our piece Life in the “throw zone”, Prowind told us that the dozens of recorded “blade throw” events were “not accident”; and that turbine owners … Continue reading IWTs or WMDs?
Will the “real” Joe Hockey please stand up
"Smokin'" Joe Hockey, odds on to be our next Treasurer, appeared on Alan Jones' show last week, being quizzed hard about the great Australian wind power fraud. Listen here. Joe did his best to stick to the script, bleating name, rank and "no carbon tax" in answer to a barrage of questions directed at the … Continue reading Will the “real” Joe Hockey please stand up
The “Le Roy Tapes”: Part 5 – Jobs and Subsidies
The final part of the interview with Tim Le Roy. In this episode Tim describes how subsidies have warped the green energy ideal and caused significant job losses by supporting the roll-out of a deeply-flawed product - industrial wind turbines (4.11).
Macfarlane: on the road to Damascus?
STT has always had its suspicions about Ian Macfarlane. Is he a Green in Wolf’s clothing? Is he “featherbedding” for a career after politics? Why is it that he seems hesitant to really sink the boots into an industry so ridden with corruption and pure corporate evil that even pure stink smells good by comparison? … Continue reading Macfarlane: on the road to Damascus?
The “Le Roy Tapes”: Part 4 – Health
Part 4 of 5 of the interview with Tim Le Roy. In this episode Tim shares his watershed moment when he meets affected people and realises the extent of the suffering that can occur when industrial wind turbines are sited too close to peoples homes. He shares his experiences of homes in Waubra and Toora … Continue reading The “Le Roy Tapes”: Part 4 – Health
RATCH – get your hands off our pumpkin patch – Part 2
In Part 1 STT readers learned of an effort by Collector’s locals to take back their pumpkin festival which had been purloined by a local (proposed) turbine host, Gary Poile, with the help of his benefactor, the Thai wind farm developer, RATCH. Well, on the big day, to Gary's horror, the locals turned up in … Continue reading RATCH – get your hands off our pumpkin patch – Part 2
