Like most older Australians I have worked long and hard, always driven by the belief that all of our efforts would be used to improve our nation in the basics of health, education, self defence, manufacturing, construction, infrastructure, mental wellbeing, purpose and self confidence.
Thirty years ago it began to dawn that my dreams were not being fulfilled and that our nation was being used as a piggy bank by those entrusted with building our nation.
We have been dudded and all we have for our work and thrift is a massive shambles.

For me working always has been a way to earn money for good living, never more. As I lived and worked in southern France, the work and money were not very interesting, but living there was first class and a very good compensation.

WHO is PAYING for all this : Hmm, yes and as I see it now, Ee aw ( the donkey ) we supported this that and t’other in our lives. Machinery brands, Sports teams etc (& politics if you like) but NO LONGER when you consider what “they ” are doing to us now: not so much Stupid AI ( ggogle provided rubbish results already YEARS ago) but Robotics in so far as Self driving vehicles TRACTORS from my mailbox today Sabanto tractor adopts Trimble autonomous solutions
Sabanto Grows Business by Automating Farmer-Owned Tractors
23 Dec 2021Sabanto, a Chicago-based robotic farming company, and by 2023 https://www.govtech.com/products/self-driving-tractor-automates-agriculture-frees-up-labor “An autonomous tractor from Illinois firm Sabanto aims to solve two issues plaguing modern farming: the growing scarcity of labor in rural areas and the increasing costs of machinery.” Is that now a paradox, ora contradiction?
Maybe farms are getting TOO big…. or is it farming companies, or Service providers taking over ( contractors) We see it in N Scotland, you have it in Australia, YOutube is fu’ of it.

A couple of days ago I posted this-basically a surprising number of Brits would like to go back into lockdown
The headline says it all.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-12854237/Proof-Britain-gone-completely-bonkers-Poll-claims-FIFTH-adults-support-reintroduction-Covid-lockdown-right-worst-pandemic-over.html
The survey analyses the response and basically the younger the person polled the more they wanted to opt out. I have long thought that younger people are not very robust, have a rather fragile mentality, are scared of many things that seem of limited concern and generally seem to have many more mental health problems-probably connected with them being rather fragile and not listening to other view points outside of their limited social media bubble..
Whilst this survey was about wearing masks, going back into lockdown etc it seems a very short step to suppose that after their decades long indoctrination, that if they were told that the “climate crisis” required them to stop flying, to travel by car as little as possible and to generally do all manner of things to reduce their co2 emissions then they would mostly comply.
I blame social media and this lack of robustness but unless this younger age group is targeted it won’t be long before they are in positions of great influence and forcing the rest of us to abandon what I would call “normal” life.

Total Australian Government Debt, federal, state and local is now over $1.818 trillion and increasing rapidly.
No one in power seems to care, including the pretend conservative Liberal Party.
Even the Liberals and believe it or not Labor under Keating once were concerned about the level of debt but it is no longer on the agenda.
Think about it as debt per person but then realise most people are not net wealth creators but too young, too old, in the public “service” and therefore net wealth consumers etc.. and that maybe no more than one in five are net wealth producers.
It’s difficult to see how it can be repaid but all factions of the Uniparty are now spending without constraint and simply don’t care.
See: https://australiandebtclock.com.au/
100
Huge!
Assuming Australia’s population is 25 million, then the debt load for each man, woman and child, if we can still use those terms is near $72,000.
So: various management entities, Governments, have borrowed that on our behalf and also of our children and grandchildren.
It’s not hard to see why the gold standard was removed and why another bout of Quantitative Easing is just around the corner. The whole world needs more inflation to get past this.
Deceit and human ugliness have no bounds.
91
The Gold Standard only worked where Feral Guv’ments had balanced Budgets. So there is your answer. You cannot fix the price of Gold where there are deficits galore.
10
No no, the gold standard MAKES Govts balance their budgets. You cannot have deficits galore when the price of gold is fixed & redeemable!
If we only had gold & silver coins as money there would be no ‘inventing’ money to borrow, Govts could only spend what they took in taxes plus what they borrowed from someone as hard bullion. ‘Money’ would be what it cost to dig up more gold & silver world-wide. For hundreds of years there was no inflation, its a modern invention relying on the use of paper.
We won’t ‘get past’ this inflation until we tear down this stupid system of Govt. Every dollar the Govt issues adds to it, until we are printing million-dollar bills to buy bread. Eventually they issue new currency and one new dollar is worth a million old $AU, its been done in all the banana republics and now the West is joining them. The average person gets screwed every time!
It seems war is always the answer, Keynes’ broken window stupidity, destroy all the wealth and have people working their butts off to rebuild the country afterwards.
We would be no worse off if anyone could issue currency, banks, shops, businesses, individuals. You’d lose every time some currency fell, gain every time another rose, but a free market in currency used to exist in Australia and it is vaguely visible in modern exchange rates. A Woolworths dollar or a Westpac dollar? An Australian Govt dollar.. pfft! No thanks.
42
It didn’t work to make Feral Guv’ments balance their Budgets.
The USA in the 1960’s is the prime example.
The USA ran Budget deficits owing to trying to pay for Guns and Butter (Vietnam War and Social Programmes). Trying to fix the price of Gold didn’t work and couldn’t with all of the money expansion. And then there were the Trade deficits. The Gold drain from the USA (to pay for the Trade deficits) was so acute that Tricky Dicky Nixon took the USA off the Gold Standard in August 1971.
Since then the World has had floating Exchange rates and the price of Gold was unleashed.
60
Yes, but only if you accept SNAFU.
As KP says, the idea is to spend No More than is covered by gold.
Of course, the rules get bent but it’s easier to identify theft.
00
I’m not sure we need a gold standard.
What we do need is to stop commercial banks inflating the money supply (through lending to asset buyers) in excess of what would be justified — due to population growth and productivity gains — to keep prices stable.
That should be the job of central banks, but they would rather ignore asset price bubbles, and instead try to dupe the public that inflation is under control because a manipulated number like the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is low.
20
Maybe it it is time we asked the politicians running at the next election if it is their policy to incur debt on behalf of the electors. If so, how do they intend to repay it before the following election?
41
We do have the Gold Standard. At least Dan Andrews said we do when he described Victoria’s covid tracing.
20
Your error here is thinking that it ever has to reduce – repayment is just a matter of rolling it over – to the Resave Bank if necessary. Nearly all of that debt is denominated in AUDs. The Federal Government can create this money at zero cost. About half the government debt is owed to Australians through super funds, pension funds and bank accounts etc. So servicing the government debt goes into Australian bank accounts. Japan and UK are the largest holders of Australian debt outside of Australia.
The issue is not one of it being repaid but rather the inflationary impact. And that is well recognised.
Both the last LNP and current Labor parties have refused to bail out Victoria. So they HAVE drawn a line. The most obvious consequence was Victoria cancelling the Commonwealth Games. But I expect Dan.s “retirement” smells a bit like John Cain’s debt legacy. But there are no more power stations to sell. So Dan’s legacy will be a grinding down of Victorian businesses and householders trying to reduce the State debt burden. States do not create money and it would be irresponsible for the Federal Government to bail out any State Government run by religious lunatics.
10
There is no intention by any government of paying off their debts, and that’s the driver of the looming great reset.
The USA is incapable of even meeting interest payments.
Defaulting or resetting are the only options and a silly gold standard won’t help.
00
There is bipartisan agreement in the US to get deeper into debt, so at some point they will have to lose Reserve Currency status.
00
“at some point they will have to lose Reserve Currency status.”
The BRICS are working on that..
JC you don’t understand a gold standard. You have gold as the currency, in free circulation, added to by those who dig it up. If the Govt want to issue paper notes saying they are worth 1/2000OZ of gold, that’s fine, so long as you can go to a bank and get gold coin in exchange. If you can’t redeem it, the piece of paper is worthless.
As usual, our completely corrupt wimps for politicians let Nixon get away with repudiating America’s debt because no-one was willing to seize American assets, ban Nixon and all congress from travel, and do all the things they are currently doing to Russia. In actual fact, Russia’s actions are nothing compared to the Yanks when they refused to redeem gold, it has screwed every hard-working person in the world ever since.
We don’t need a reset, or a one world Govt, we need gold as coinage.
10
I agree. Around 70% of the US Sovereign Debt is capitalised interest. There has never been any intent to repay the debt. The debt can only be rolled over so many times until the music stops. And then the Game is over. Default is next.
00
How about we get rid of central banks. They issue unlimited amounts of money at INTEREST. Why don’t Government print their own money at NO INTEREST? A no-brainer I would have thought. Keep your eyes on Argentina.

Lostralia – best of both worlds:
As ex-TC Jasper fell apart in far north Queensland (ABC reported a “tree fallen over in Mossman”) a similar 999 low down Tasmania way induced a -2.3C windchill on Mt Wellington (c/- BoM). No matter which way ya look at it, yer dooooom’d!

HA!
I was in Hobart back in 2010 or so, in winter, bushwalking, in my usual shorts and tshirt, starting from Dynnyrne reserve, up through Fern Tree, up the ice covered zig zag track, right up to the top, then walked back down the road, a 3 hour+ round trip. It was -19C windchill factor with 100 km/h winds(reported on the news), ice stalagtites hanging off the tv tower fence, and everyone else rugged up like polar explorers having driven there in toasty warm cars. Pussies.
-2C is a summer’s day and not even remotely “climate change”.
It also shows the body’s tolerance of extreme climates, with a little effort.
10
If a Tree fell in Mossman would anybody notice?
00
Irene its the top end wet season, so nothing unusual, but they are watching Jasper closely to see if it reforms into a TC over the Gulf.

“Australia’s childhood vaccination rates have fallen for the second consecutive year, in a trend that concerned public health experts believe is linked to shortages in bulk-billing GPs and increased distrust in vaccines.”
Its hardly noticeable, the under 5-yr-olds getting their dozen needles down 1.4%, and girls (and boys) getting HPV vaccines down about the same. They blame lack of access to doctors and a slight vaccine hesitancy from those dirty hippies in NSW North coast.
Of course they carefully avoid ANY mention of Covid booster uptake currently..

No electricity in many parts of Victoria overnight and today. Some locations are still without electricity and the restoration time is projected to be 8pm tonight. That’s 24 hours. Add another 10,000 km of wires and towers to attract lightning and having no electricity will be the new normal every time we get a storm.

” NSW Energy Minister Penny Sharpe said the government had enacted a Government Energy Action Response Protocol, which involved agencies and major utilities minimising energy use.
The minister also called for households to defer non-essential electricity consumption. ”
And
“The minister said the government had also spoken with water utilities to defer pumping in order to reduce strain on the electricity grid.
She said one unit was down at one of the state’s power stations, which puts further strain on the system, but would not specify where that was. ”
The danger period is 5 pm to 9 pm. Whoda thort.

Speech by Mr Agustín Carstens, General Manager of the BIS [Bank for International Settlements], at the BIS Innovation Hub-Financial Stability Institute conference on legal aspects of central bank digital currencies, Basel, Switzerland, 27 September 2023.
https://www.bis.org/speeches/sp230927.htm
An excerpt:
According to a CPMI survey, in 2022 93% of central banks were engaged in some form of CBDC work. Of these, more than half were running concrete experiments or working on pilots.
Hmmmm, I can think of one ‘socialist’ country in which this definitely will be the case, given the control over ordinary people (but only ordinary people) that programmable currencies would provide to the predator class. NOTE: I am using ‘socialist’ in its modern context, meaning that it describes countries in which speech is not protected, authoritarian abuses against citizens go unpunished, governments and institutions are not accountable, citizens have no recourse against bad actors and bad policy, and democracy exists in name only.
40
Ah, you’re talking about Aussie then… Well, any country in the West really, free speech is no longer, Police beating up protestors go unpunished, Govts don’t give a shit what the people think, we have no way of sorting out the bureaucracy and there is no difference between the party in power and the opposition.
I’m hoping people will work around Govts more and more, rather than bow to them. Use private digital currencies rather than Govt ones.

Well if you read down a bit in your article it becomes clear that there is a dodgy outlier that produced the bulk of those.
The next few paragraphs explain this further. If you search the net for articles on Hindawi you’ll find a very shady world of publication that has nothing to do with the peer review process or of acceptable academic standards.

“Peer review process or of acceptable academic standards” – name me a reputable peer review platform that is so holy !

So 8000 of these are dodgy does that mean the other 2000 are equally as dodgy , because if so that is a scandal in itself .
00
NOt really. You are just inserting your belief as to why they were withdrawn.
Having said that, there is an upward trend in the last decade of the number withdrawn per publication and the reasons for that need to be analysed and acted upon.

Globalists on a Mission: Turn Americans Against Each Other Before a Foreign Power Is Called In To Finish the Job
Obama’s new Hollywood movie is very instructive: They are telling us their plans.
You may ask, why are they so intent on destruction if they already control everything?
Because most people around the world still have the perception of America being a beacon of individual freedom and prosperity living under a constitutional republic. Look at how the masses flock to the U.S. southern border in hopes of being granted asylum. That is an idea that must be crushed and driven out of the minds of billions of people. To accomplish that, the globalists must destroy the biggest remaining symbol of individual freedom — America.
Higher Ground Productions, a Hollywood production company funded in 2018 by Barack and Michelle Obama, released a new Netflix movie on Friday, December 8, called Leave the World Behind, starring Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke. It’s very instructive. America, portrayed in the film as horribly divided by political, religious, racial and cultural issues, gets hit out of the blue by a major cyber attack. Embedded in this movie is tons of symbolism including three shots of the number 6 in the opening scene. As society disintegrates, there is no government to the rescue. Everyone is on their own. The overall theme of the film seems to be a seeting hatred for humanity. “We are all so awful,” Julia Roberts’ character exclaims. We are awful to each other. We are awful to the planet. Maybe it’s best if we just all kill each other? That’s what I hear this movie whispering into the public consciousness.

I actually watched the film last night, and thought is was stereotyped and predictable, with poor dramatisation of how such an event would actually manifest.

Tesla issues massive recall of more than 2 million vehicles over autopilot safety concerns
Tesla is recalling more than 2 million of its vehicles, nearly all its cars on the road in the U.S., after an investigation found its autopilot safety system was “not sufficient to prevent driver misuse.”
The recall includes the 2012-2023 Model S, 2016-2023 Model X, 2017-2023 Model 3 and 2020-2023 Model Y equipped with Autosteer, a feature Tesla describes as “traffic-aware cruise control.”
“In certain circumstances when Autosteer is engaged, the prominence and scope of the feature’s controls may not be sufficient to prevent driver misuse,” the recall notice said

The very next day another letter comes with: thanks but no, thanks – due to Covid restrictions we can not take your body… My bad lack…

Doctors invent new way to 3D print inside the body
A team of researchers at Duke University and Harvard Medical School say they’ve developed a new way to 3D print inside the human body, by sending ultrasound waves at an injectable biocompatible ink.
As detailed in a new paper published in the journal Science, the team’s research builds on a previously developed photo-sensitive ink that hardens when exposed to beams of light, allowing scientists to slowly build up intricate biomedical structures.
But light can only penetrate a few millimeters into a given patient’s tissue, according to a statement about the research. Soundwaves, however, can penetrate much farther.
The new process, dubbed “deep-penetrating acoustic volumetric printing” (DVAP) could take the concept even further, allowing scientists to repair bones or even fix malfunctioning heart valves — while foregoing the need for invasive open surgery altogether.
“DVAP relies on the sono-thermal effect, which occurs when soundwaves are absorbed and increase the temperature to harden our ink,” said coauthor and Duke biomedical engineering associate professor Junjie Yao in the statement.

Cyberfraud warning to all
This has been overseas until now, but is here in Oz( ACA tonight).
You may get SMS notices supposedly from your financial institution, having their legitimate phone # in it, claiming some form of security incident has happened to your account.
DO NOT click any link or call the supplied phone #.
Go in to your financial institution in person, even if it’s a day or 2 later to query the SMS validity.
Any unauthorised transaction is the institution’s problem.
Once you click a link or return a call, it’s yours.
It’s amazing that the un-named institutions STILL don’t have safeguards in place, and you’d do well to swap if that describes yours.
With mine, any transaction over $1k generates a 2FA SMS confirmation, EVEN if I initiated the transaction, and it’s been that way for 10 years.
It’s not possible for a scammer to clear out your account!
So, WHY aren’t the offending institutions using the same system?
CHECK with your institution as to your liability…

“Former Italian Health Minister Roberto Speranza is under investigation for homicide after emails reveal that from the very start of the vaccinations, he knew the shots were killing people and gave orders to local health authorities to conceal deaths and serious side effects in order to reassure Italian citizens of their safety and to not jeopardize the vaccination campaign,”
