It was a good read!
I almost hope the BRICS nations can get their alternative currency up and running — but only if they establish “Full-reserve Banking”. We wouldn’t learn anything from a parallel system with the SAME FLAWS.
They could show the West how ‘sound money’ can exist in the modern world: for starters, put an end to the endless Inflation of the Quantity of Money (mostly done by COMMERCIAL BANKS, not, as you would think — or at least I did — by Central Banks).

I now know why “Russia double plus Bad” is dogmatically pushed by the media.

You now know why wealth is piling up in the upper reaches of society. . . and why it’s necessary for the WEF to try and head off anxiety about that fact, by trying to convince the younger demographic that “You guys don’t need to own anything; just rent a home, a car, and everything else, from GlobalCorp”. . . In short, BE A SERF!

The CBA may be getting a lot of grief over their 10 billion dollar profit. However, the Market Cap of the CBA is 175 billion dollars. So that profit represents an investment return of just under 6%.
Big Deal people.
70
“Allowing” a company to make 10% of market cap is a Ponzi scheme. Such a return guarantees a rise in market cap thus “justifying” a higher return next year while closing more branches.
Our banks are no longer essential, not even wanting to do the basic function of banking, so any preferential treatment for the Four Pillars should be scrapped.

Please feel free to comment if you disagree with any aspect of the claims.
Also, reference is made to original or cohabitants of early Australia, the so-called “Pygmy Aborigines”. These have already been written out of history in the finest tradition of Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty Four even though they are well documented and were even mentioned by Manning Clark in History of Australia, 1962.

During a sabbatical in Sydney 1993, I searched the UNSW library for information on Aborigines – lots of anthropological stuff on New Guinea, Africa, the Americas, etc. And a complete blank on the Australian original inhabitants. I finally found an anthropological book about them in the Museum shop.

I would like to read the actual diaries of Sir Thomas Mitchell. Many years ago I read that when Mitchell was exploring the Peel Valley near Goonoo Goonoo, Aborigines he encountered pointed out there were ‘little people’ in the hills behind where Tamworth is today.
Can’t find hide nor hair about it today even though I have perused his transposed diaries on the State lIbrary website.

Sorry. ‘transcribed’ not ‘transposed’.

I’ve read other reports that Aborigines were possibly the tenth race to have inhabited Australia. Hence, the term “First Nations” is completely illegitimate.

The Northern Territory’s renewed call for large-scale solar investment “will fall flat on it’s face” due to “unrealistic” regulation, the architect of the government’s renewables road map says.
The generator performance standards implemented in 2020 include requirements for solar producers to cover the costs of battery storage, monitoring and capacity forecasting.
Who would have thought that creating reliable electricity from solar is uneconomic?
90
That’s a good news story. Surprises me.

the lefties cant understand why the NT government is insisting on this before they allow the new renewables to be connected. “Those generator performance standards are demanding a very high level, and in many ways, an unrealistic level of control,”

Simon,
Also this article from – astonishingly – the [Manchester] Guardian.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/aug/09/scientific-misconduct-retraction-watch
Although the authors are [rightly] critical of science in general, I totally missed the references to ‘Climate Science’.
But, I suppose, Mencken’s hobgoblins, and a need “Not to know” to keep your job, pension, status, may both play a part.

Russel Broadbent ( LNP Monash Victoria) in the fed House of Reps is someone I would include in that group. He and his wife actually took IVM after being COVID infected and announced it. But he went quiet, so was probably disciplined by the party.
71
Was it any surprise that the Australian Government with one of the world’s most fanatical commitments to the anthropogenic global fraud, during the pandemic also prohibited the use of a possible safe, early stage treatment for C-19 (as per Zelenko protocol) or other existing reported treatments such as ivermectin?
90
Doubly stupid when you consider the Monash Uni ( Melbourne) group were one of the first to identify its activity vs COVID ( or SARS -2, as it was known then). I have read numerous references from many IVM advocates who were initially alerted by that Monash Uni announcement way back in 2020. I can remember an Australian company having a finger blood prick test for COVID back in 2020 as well. Way before RATS were even talked about.
70
Perhaps the image of people being denied access to a train or shopping centre based on an instant finger blood test was going to look far too much like the GATTACA movie for that path to be popularly feasible?

David,
Consider, also, the possibility that the ‘World’ [our bit of it, anyway] is being run [original typo – ‘ruin’] by folk who have their own interests foremost in their minds.
Some of them are smart – others less so.
And some of their tools – in Government, but also activists, scientists, business-folk – are not actually smart if one judges by their utterances, at least.

I’d prefer the group think here than out there.
I’ve had my share of red thumbs. I disagree with the group here on a few fundamental things, but it’s still a great forum. The thumbs don’t really affect me to not write down some thoughts.
Group think is pretty natural, but this is a far more objective group think than others, and is it group think at all? People tend to congregate where they first agree with others. There’s a few lefties in here, and the obvious antagonists. But a large consensus. But group think?
21
If I didn’t agree with you I wouldn’t be here, I have no interest in being a stirrer. The primary group think I disagree with is on the GBR – I think Ridd is only half right, he is too young to have seen it in it’s full glory, before the COT almost destroyed it. It has come a long way back but no way is it “as good as ever” and never will be while there is no concerted effort to control the COT.
01
What has changed that makes it so? Was the COT not there at some stage? Have they been introduced by man somehow in a situation where it would not happen naturally?
Plenty of examples, gorse, blackberry and a hundred other weeds out-competing the local plants, but if the Crown of Thorns was here a hundred years ago, we don’t have much chance of controlling it. Rabbits spring to mind..
20
Are you saying we have no right or interest in controlling locust plagues?
You know I am not a scientist, merely an observer, so I will quote Journal Of Marine Science.
1. Introduction
The crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) (Acanthaster planci) is an obligate corallivore that causes dramatic losses of coral cover at high population densities and is a major challenge in coral reef management [1]. Populations of COTS alternate periods of low density, when individuals are sparsely distributed across large areas of reef, with briefer periods of much higher densities [2]. A single adult starfish can consume approximately 10 m2 of coral per year and large “outbreak” populations have a major impact on local cover [3] that can persist for more than a decade [4]. Surveys on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) span some 50 years, in which time there have been three series of outbreaks beginning in 1962, 1979, and 1993.
I was familiar with the reef before 1962. Note that no one has said that there are historical records of plagues before this.
Dr Robert Endean, a pioneer in this field, believed native taking of conch shells for the tourist market may have been a cause. It seems too narrow for me but it is possible that removing this predator from the Pacific Island reefs allowed the spawn to traverse the oceans. IMHO we, man, did alter the balance. We need serious research on this, not this infantile “global warming” explanation which outlaws differing opinions.
I reiterate: The COT is the primary scourge of the reef. Bleaching, cyclones etc are local setbacks.

Irony, the accounting company that does our books has been trying to get us to put everything into the cloud/my Gov site, we always refused.

The reply was……told you so!

Yes, I use XERO which is cloud based. Unfortunately, it’s bloody convenient as I can do my accounting on 3 different devices and they all sync seamlessly. The downside is you always have that uneasy feeling -” if the system goes down or crashes, what happens?” Love cashless transactions but still carry cash around, just in case. There’s no way I would trust the my Gov site, if its run by our incompetent public service.

Experienced network engineers will remember the time when organizations would ensure that sensitive data was not exposed to the outside world. A portal meant a carefully designed system which controlled exactly what users and intruders could see of the inside network.
All of that was eliminated with the advent of the cloud. Now all sensitive data is stored outside any firewall. It staggers me that nobody has not yet rediscovered the concept of a firewall.
Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

Elastic’s Global Threat Report warns that cyber defenders need to take a more proactive approach as threat groups act with increasing speed and sophistication.
The Global Threat Report also warns that cyber attackers are seeking to exploit the increasing integration of internal systems with cloud-based services in major corporations by using malicious malware, targeting emails, FTP files and clients’ web browsers to gain access to their systems.
Cloud services had “a large attack surface’’. Malicious spam campaigns where users are encouraged to download, and executive infected email attachments had become popular during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Global Threat Report also forecasts that increasingly popular technologies like smart contracts and blockchain technology will be targets for weaponization to steal sensitive information, as its record keeping and trading becomes integrated with the way more organisations do business.
Mr King said threat groups had evolved dramatically over the past decade from stealing information and then trying to sell it, to using sophisticated ransomware to extort money from victims.
“Now we are actually seeing double ransom,’’ Mr King said. “They are asking for a ransom to unlock your computers after stealing information. Now they are extorting groups again that have been compromised, by threatening to release the information if they don’t pay again.’’

Reserve Bank trying to blame someone else for the high price of housing-
‘Rents are growing at almost 10 per cent, prompting calls from the Greens for a freeze on rents and then a cap on rent increases. National cabinet is due to meet next week, where issues around the rental market will dominate. Lowe said a rent freeze, while delivering short-term relief to renters, would actually act as a disincentive for the construction of more housing.
He said when house prices were climbing sharply, there were demands to give potential home buyers more money to enable them to buy into the market.”

The biggest factor in housing cost is Govt regulation, you are not allowed to build dirt-cheap housing that desperate people take and then work to get out of. It gives me the shits that they never even mention that, they blame everyone else.
Council regulations add more on top, they would all rather see homeless people than have legal shacks on the outskirts of town. If you want to house poor people, look at countries with poor people like South Africa for answers. They put roads into a ‘subdivision’, add outside dunnies to each plot and one power connection, a water tap and drainage, then walk away. Build what you can afford, sell it and move upwards as soon as you can.

War is looming
The US military is already discussing the prospect of a “limited draft.” They are seeking 160,000 eligible people from a population of 30 million. The all-volunteer force has reached a “breaking point,” as Military.com put it, and the most effective way to solve the crisis is to force the youth into service. The military is now throwing around the idea of dedicating one month per year to recruiting a Selected Service to meet the annual recruitment goal.
Every branch of the US military besides the Marine Corps has failed to meet their recruitment goals. We are low on ammo, as the commander-in-chief pointed out, and soldiers. The problem is two-fold. No one wants to enlist, and the number of young Americans who would actually qualify has reached a record low. A 2022 poll showed that only 9% of those eligible want to join the military, a major decrease from 29% in recent years. Over half of the respondents (57%) were worried that they would suffer psychological damage from serving. A more recent poll from May 2023 indicates only 13% of 18 to 29-year-olds are “highly willing” to serve.

UK military could recruit autistic soldiers
The British military could review its recruitment policies to allow it to access a wider pool of people, including those suffering from certain neurological conditions, MP Andrew Murrison has told the Financial Times.
Murrison, who serves as parliamentary under-secretary of state for defence people, veterans and service families, argued that this would help provide the armed forces with skilled professionals amid chronic staffing shortages.
In an interview with the FT published on Wednesday, Murrison explained that “there are pinch points where things are quite serious,” adding that the UK military should adopt a more “flexible” approach toward hiring new personnel. The MP stated that with the armed forces placing increasing emphasis on cyberwarfare, it should start “casting the net more widely” to hire “neurodiverse” people.
According to Murrison, while personnel with dyslexia and dyspraxia are already serving in the British military, the door should now be open to candidates with autism, Asperger’s, and ADHD. These people may possess skills and attributes which others don’t, the lawmaker argued.

“the number of young Americans who would actually qualify has reached a record low. ”
Maybe having these asexual wimpy self-absorbed millenials will finally lead to a century of peace! There will be no-one wanting to fight.. Sadly, that will be very one-sided as no young person (of draftable age) that I have come across takes any interest in the Ukraine war and just cannot see that they will end up holding a rifle to expand the interests of the West’s most powerful people. That is a long way from Russia’s youth who seem to take patriotism, culture and world affairs a bit more seriously.
“People with one arm or leg, wheelchair bound, young adults wearing fursuits.” ..and mainly psychotics who have no compunction about killing people, I’m sure politics could spare a few.

Disney revamps streaming prices after losing 11.7m customers in three months
Disney has revamped the pricing of its video streaming service after the company shed 11.7m customers in three months.
The media giant said that, while standard subscriptions will remain £7.99 a month for viewers in the UK, there will now be a more expensive premium version, priced at £10.99 a month.
The premium version will offer higher image quality and the ability for four different people to watch at once.
A budget offering, costing £4.99 for Disney Plus, will require users to watch adverts alongside their favourite films.
Walt Disney chief executive Bob Iger said the company continues to face a ‘challenging environment’ but was focused on trimming costs.
He also vowed to crack down on password sharing – following in the footsteps of its rival Netflix.

Anyone know why all newbuild houses in Australia look the same? And they all look so low quality. They have these cookie-cutter designs comprising of boxy substructures, black roofs, brick veneers, no eaves, no front yard and no backyard. It seems like these houses are all maximising their interior space at the expense of yards and mature trees. Even the 80/90s build red-bricks seem to have a lot more structural integrity than these “cardboard box” houses. I can’t imagine these newbuilds even standing in a decades’ time. Anyone know how these houses are being constructed to look so poor and cheap?
