Brisbane free future of food event:
CSIRO will be showcasing novel (synthetic) foods, biotech and surveillance tech , futuristic farming (AI, Robotics, biosensors).
Anyone who wants to get abreast of where the CSIRO is pushing our food systems, please attend and let me know what is covered.
CSIRO have many relevant documents on the future of centralised, synthetic foods, including:
Australia's Synthetic Biology Roadmap
Edible Insects Roadmap
Australia's Protein Roadmap
Reshaping Australian Food Systems
On Farm Applications of Advanced Bioengineering
Ag 2050 Scenarios Report
The CSIRO uses the same excuse for the synthetic transformation of our food systems as was used to usher in the mono crop, chemical laden, GMO Green Revolution, "we must do this to feed the world" (SDG2) and they've added in for good measure "we must do this to save the climate" (SDG13).
Anyone concerned about non transparent synthetic food systems being implemented (protected by confidential commercial information- i.e. patented- we can't see the tech and processes used), nano tech, bio tech, surveillance, bio sensors etc., should be keeping a close eye on what the CSIRO is rolling out.
A close eye should also be kept on their venture capital firm, Main Sequence. Which "coincidentally" arose from a partnership between CSIRO and Bill Bartee. Bill is co-owner of venture capital firm Blackbird. The other partner of Blackbird is ex CSIRO CEO Larry Marshall. Blackbird partly funded the first lab meat that is going to be allowed in to the Australian market. Main Ventures funds many synthetic food start ups.
When Larry Marshall was CEO of CSIRO there was a controversy when he sacked climate scientists and said the science is settled and it was time to go to climate mitigation strategies. One climate mitigation strategy is synthetic food. It's a circular wheel, where those who benefit are pushing transformative changes to our food systems.

The world’s fastest drone, the XLR V3, just went from 0 to 124 mph (200 km/h) in 1 second, faster than a Formula 1 car off the line.
Designed by Swiss engineers, the XLR V3 is a high performance FPV (First Person View) racing drone built with ultra light carbon fiber, high torque brushless motors, and cutting edge aerodynamics. It’s not just fast, it’s rewriting what’s possible in drone engineering.
This drone accelerates faster than:
✔️ An F1 car
✔️ A Tesla Plaid
✔️ Even a fighter jet on launch
Imagine what they're not showing us...
⚡️A Russian drone strike hit the car of Chief Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Wolf in Kherson, head of the United Jewish Community of Ukraine’s local chapter.
Yosef is well known for assisting SBU and Nationalists in tracking down pro Russian Ukrainians who supported Russian forces during the liberation and uses his synagogue, as a shield, to help assemble FPVs for Ukrainian forces.
1. Geopolitical & Military Tensions
Thailand–Cambodia conflict: Martial law has been declared, over 138,000 people have fled, and both sides have exchanged fire. Terrain challenges and border disputes intensify risks of prolonged conflict.
Middle East flashpoints: The Gaza conflict escalates as Israel prepares for a major offensive and new ceasefire efforts stall. Suwayda, Syria, sees Druze self-administration declared.
Russia–Ukraine talks: Zelensky confirms negotiations, but a Putin-Zelensky meeting is still seen as unlikely by the Kremlin.
ISIS strike: U.S. CENTCOM killed a senior ISIS leader and his sons in Syria.
2. Western Politics, Immigration, and Populism
UK Islamophobia sentiment: A new survey shows over 50% of Britons view Islam as incompatible with British values, potentially fueling anti-immigration politics.
Jeremy Corbyn’s new party: Gathers 200,000 members; promotes anti-austerity, pro-immigrant policies in contrast to rising nationalist sentiment.
Anti-migration protests: Spread ...
🇨🇦 Stefan Molyneux on X: Almost every government policy in the West is designed to prevent family formation for the native population.
📝 Roger Marques: "Could not agree more.
Housing is expensive.
Families taxed to the bone.
Prices are so high that both elements of the couple must work.
Women are incentivized to not care about having children in their prime.
Public schooling literally retards children.
The culture is profoundly anti-children.
What else?"
