This has potential to get interesting, after Trump was given a massive fine for doing nothing wrong. He took out a bank loan and they say he overvalued his properties. Loan was paid back, the banks have no issues some serious which hunt. What is interesting is that truckers are talking about no-longer taking goods to democratic cities espy NYC, "F**k Around & Find Out": Truckers Warn Loads To NYC Will Be Rejected Starting Mondaywww.zerohedge.com/markets/fk-around-find-out-truckers-warn-loads-nyc-will-be-rejected-starting-mondayTruck drivers transport between 70% to 73% of all freight in the United States. Therefore, when truckers begin discussing plans on social media to boycott loads to progressive hellhole New York City, it's important to pay attention. Trump-loving truckers refusing to drive to NYC after his $355 million fraud rulingTrump-supporting truckers are saying they are refusing to drive to New York City after the former president was slapped with a $355 million fine in his fraud case last week. A conservative social media influencer and trucker who goes by Chicago Ray posted a video clip in which he claims that some of his colleagues are going to stop making deliveries to New York City to protest the ruling, issued in Manhattan Supreme court on Friday. I would also put it that the trucks are getting highjacked going into the democrat ghettos, just like the freight trains get raided daily, people jumping on the wagons and cutting open shipping containers and emptying them in holding yards or while just waiting a red signals. edition.cnn.com/2022/01/14/economy/la-freight-railroad-theft/index.html

When China opened its fifth research station in Antarctica this month, analysts sounded alarm bells about potential security threats on Australia's southern doorstep. Experts warned that China's expanding activity in Antarctica combined with Australia's inaction and lack of funding could lead to Beijing's increased strategic presence in the frozen continent. The new Qinling base could also improve China's surveillance capabilities and give them more control over transport routes to exploit resources, they say. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-02-18/china-s-new-antarctic-station-qinling-in-antarctica-australia/103464840

Isn't the current crop of defence ministers working their way towards making the entire defence force a private sector thing made up of nothing but private mercs? Ministers are probably working towards making it a "Safe Space" for vegan, multiracial, gender confused, "respect my dysfunction". pansexual unicorns. Which is the national agenda for everything these days.
As soon as the bar starts getting lowered for entry you can be sure its going to get MUCH worse as an organisation to be in. Bar lowering is happening in so many parts of Australian society in the last 20 years that pretty soon we wont even have an Australian Society. We'll be a divided useless, pointless, rabble that is ripe for external takeover because we wont have a hope in hell of resisting Indonesian pre-schoolers let alone an actual military force. Anyone who's raised a kid in the last 10 years knows what I'm talking about.
Irony: The Woke Sector putting Australia into a situation in which Wokeism can no longer exist.
The same with the US Navy removed the requirement for even a high school certificate to apply, they are just as desperate for people to join up as we are. Now I'm getting into some sort of fit shape again I toyed with the idea of looking at reserves, but my nearest unit in a smaller feeder infantry reserve unit 200Km away from me so that went out the window.

Obviously, there will be massive job cuts and forced to go only self-checkouts. They have already removed the bakers and butchers from their stores and with usually only 1 or 2 checkouts open funnelling everybody else into the self-checkout aisle, there is only a handful of people restocking the shelves anymore as well.

ANZ closed its local branch last year in town. First of many perhaps ?? Constant change is here to stay. Banks are getting ready for "Smart Cities" and so are the Feds:- Problem Statement The rapidly changing nature of the future operating environment will increasingly involve operations in smart, interconnected cities. More than 50% of humanity resides in cities, and by 2030 there will be more than 60 cities with populations between 5-10 million. Many are located within global resource hot spots in an increasingly multi-polar world order that challenges hegemonic legacies. These dense urbanities are becoming ever more complex; socially, physically, and technically. This presents new challenges and opportunities for SOF operations across the full breadth of potential mission sets, in an interconnected environment where access and manoeuvre will be challenging. The confluence of domains and environments amplifies these challenges. Virtual and physical theatre entry, combat operations, sustainment, and partnering will all require novel approaches. From biometrics to autonomy, to remote sensing, future smart cities will present SOF with some of the toughest challenges. To tackle these problems SOF will need to: • Develop a vision for the future challenges posed by operating in smart cities. • Identify, understand, and combat smart city risks and vulnerabilities. • Develop plans and policies to enable operational advantage in smart cities and exploit dual-use capabilities. • Develop capabilities to understand and characterize adversarial actions in smart cities.
• Develop new concepts of operation with partners and allies to operate in a range of heavily constrained smart cities scenarios.
• Identify, recruit, and train for the skillsets required to operate in future smart cities. What you will do at IF15: • Create a vision for what might be the characteristics of the 2035 operational environment from a smart city perspective.
• Discuss what might be the predominant technology challenges within the future operational environment. • Conceptualise how these technologies might be applied towards SOF smart cities challenges. To describe what might be, participants will: • Not limit themselves to mere extensions of today’s environment, technologies, and processes. • Describe innovative concepts for the future operational environment in a science-fiction-like manner, developing new concepts that might exploit and defeat the infrastructure of the future.
• Identify the investments SOF needs to make now in order to succeed in this challenging future operational environment. PS TO THE SPOOKS MONITORING THE FORUM, GET YA HAND OFF IT BOYS! THIS DOCUMENT IS PUBLISHED ON THE WEB FOR ALL TO SEE! The globalists plan for these "smart cities" would create a problem for clandestine operations. There would be cameras on every corner, biometric scanners every block, etc making it very hard to do low profile incursions

"So if you go off-grid power and use battery storage they still tax you for providing your own power " These dumb fools have suddenly woken up to the fact that they are missing out on tax revenue from electric power usage and cant figure out a way to tax private power generation. Standby for solar/wind/hydro tax and perhaps even a power meter, govt installed and tamper-proof, so they can tax power usage, just like on grid grid power is taxed. They will have their hands full out here ! Can't learn to do it well ? Learn to enjoy doing it badly ! Just like the Qld gov does with dams on farms that are filled with free rain water.

I wish Australians would riot like that. These days it's just foreigners and far-leftists who do it during protests and they usually get their way eventually. Unfortunately we have become too apathetic. The lockdown protests is the biggest thing to happen in a long time and probably 98% of those involved cleared away quickly once the police rolled in

A news article the other day saying many people over and above living pay check to pay check are moving to a ....doomsday spending.... lifestyle.. That being a kind of ..why not enjoy something now, worry about it later.. mentality, near as I can figure.. I guess, everybody senses we are closer to the edge of all out war than the media and politifilth want to acknowledge. That and everybody is starting to see through the systemic government corruption around the world

Joey - good choice on the 7300, great radios. I have a the 705 and having the display to view activity on the band is great also native USB connectivity to a PC for using the rig for digital modes. No extra boxes or cables required. Apart from voice I also utilise Winlink, JS8Call and VaraAC over HF. I'm also waiting on a dual bander, Retevis RT-95 that can have its freq range extended for RX/TX on CB if needed. As for the class license I'll be happy not having another yearly fee and glad to hear our personal details are being removed from the public database. Aye, having your callsign connected to your name/address was something I never liked and the reason I never shared my c/s. That's why I used my PO box for the address on the system. And under the new system rolling out, they are removing the address details from public view so adds a little bit more privacy

Isn't China demolishing a heap of these empty cities that they built up but never managed to sell and are just a blight on the countryside?

I just heard that it was raised at the COP24 meeting that the international controligachs want ALL farmland under government control/ownership worldwide. So, it's not surprising that we will start to see fluff piece stories and "studies" like these roll out. Of course, there is no mention in the "study" regarding home gardens helping bees, birds and other critters compared to just acres of grass through the suburbs.

Well it was bound to happen. With the uptick of home gardens, it was only a matter of time before it was to be complained about, and I'm sure around the place there will be a pollie or two who will take this to heart and want home gardens banned or highly regulated. news.yahoo.com/carbon-footprint-homegrown-food-five-200247599.html?guccounter=1record.umich.edu/articles/study-examines-carbon-footprint-of-urban-farmed-food/Growing your own food in an allotment may not be as good for the environment as expected, a study suggests. The carbon footprint of homegrown foods is five times greater than produce from conventional agricultural practices, such as rural farms, data show. A study from the University of Michigan looked at how much CO2 was produced when growing food in different types of urban farms and found that, on average, a serving of food made from traditional farms creates 0.07kg of CO2. The impact on the environment is almost five times higher at 0.34kg per portion for individual gardens, such as vegetable patches or allotments.

Finally got around to programming one of my spare Icom UHF radios with the 80channels as well as the local fireies and SES channels on the side and adding it to my radio shelf. Now I just wish my 7300 would hurry up and arrive so I can get on 40/80/10m bands and stretch out and get some CQ's

I haven't even tuned my tv into the free to air channels in about a decade now. The tv is just used for the Xbox, streaming movies and the missus watching her foreign tv shows on youtube
