It will involve nukes.. The west is going down in flames... Great... I'm within 3 miles of the Federal Cartridge Company ammunition plant... Been nice knowing y'all.. Maybe time to move ?
“If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons ?
S’all good Tim they won’t need a nuke, just a spark.

Just imagine what those companies influence covertly if this is what they do overtly.

they are issuing permits to allow purchases of upto 100 bullets. Hope they shoot more conservatively than the ukranians and russians.

I never understood why NATO allowed so many eastern block countries and turkey into the fold. It has weakened NATO in my opinion.
Don’t know why the US feels it needs to get involved. let em sort it out once and for all.

Everyone will lose 1-2.5% of their after tax income to transaction fees. I just had 26 cents stolen from me when i paid for lunch.

Depopulation is nothing to worry about. Hitting 10 billion people is.

If they get shot at the sale yards the farmer is charged for the clean up and disposal so it’s a double whammy.
I’m in the riverina this week and it looks like a lot of the wheat and barley crop is close to failure due to lack of follow up rain. They will cut it for hay instead so i expect hay prices to come down a bit in the next month or two.

I’m interested in what people will do without cash in an otherwise normal world. It is just a tax grab as the cash economy through things like local markets, trades etc is in the billions of dollars. I just don’t like the idea that everything i buy can be traced so easily. Cash reduces the traceability in many things. I don’t do illegal stuff but still don’t want to be monitored for everything i purchase and do and have my money completely controlled.

I’ve noticed the lack of ATMs for a long time too. My local bank is closing next month and retreating back to a bigger town.
Silver and pm’s might be useful but i suspect people will not be bothered to trade with it let alone know its value. I don’t think i could ever buy a tyre with gold, not while the eftpos and credit card systems are up and running. If that was not working due to a hack or malware then maybe a different storey.
If cash goes then you will never really own your money. your whole purchasing life will be available to the system and be exploited as such. I hope the gov don’t ever consider this change.

So it begins. As one goes cashless more or all will follow. Macquarie bank going cash less and cheque lessThere is all sorts of guff to support this. Far north QLD businesses are considering going cashless to reduce robberies. Many other businesses saying they won’t accept cash. Where does this take us? what alternatives are there? what do you intend to do? How full is your mattress and will we be able to use cash whenever we present it or will it be a case of send it back for “credits” or lose it?

100% agree thet are not good. I’d much prefer Mr Singh next door to my parents place than a pom any day. He’s the hardest worker in the valley and the only guy making money from his farm in the district.
Out of the two poms that are on our road one is a fat, slothenly bastard who does nothing but smoke pot, drink grog and beat his wife. He is a real champion or so he says and as a mental health clinician he believes Australia is crap at dealing with our health system issues and tells everyone how far advanced the UK is. The other, a sheila, quickly came and left after she started playing 50 shades of grey with the married neighbour. It got found out and the neighbour had a massive blew with his missus, she left and he shot all her cattle in the paddock and left them there to rot to this day.

=== === Karma ?? ?? It is too bad someone had to get hurt... But she has said a lot of ...stupid... about all of this.. Like John Wayne said something like ...stupid should hurt.... Maybe if more people suffered from there own ...stupid... there would be a significant turn around to a lot of things going on for too long now that don't make sense... My 5 cents of opinion... Regarding a different but similar woke policy, I like how the Southern states in the US are bussing illegals up to the sanctuary cities well away from the border. This is Another case of actually experiencing the policies you implement. Mass migration will be the biggest SHTF threat the west will face. Nuclear war, climate change yadda yadda are just diversions to this issue. The northern rivers is being flooded with poms that are fleeing the UK cause they farked up their migration policies turning their hometowns into shartholes by not requiring any assimilation of the 3rd world migrants. The whole migration issue in Europe makes me happy after all the PC woke grief they were giving Australia 10 years ago when we significantly reduced illegal immigration. Now they are thinking or doing the same.

When the white collars turned up in RFS the legal liability came with it. They be to scared to do decent HRs. Their resources (humans) for effective wide scale burns are not good in some areas.

These battery's are conventional lithium, unprotected and with a terminal voltage charged of 3.7 volts, may cause damage to the optics. I read the instructions for the optics thoroughly and it didn't mention anything about rechargeable batteries, so I bought these. A little electronics theory now. A normal silicon diode has a forward voltage drop of around 0.6 volts, whilst a germanium type is around 1/2 that. So, 2 silicon diodes in series will drop around 1.2 volts, giving 6.2 volts on the torch, much closer to the correct voltage. Digging through my box of diodes for two suitable diodes was easy, and a quick lash up showed it did indeed work. Now to make it permanent. I made two small circuit boards the same size as the battery diameter, and rummaged through the box of diodes to find a single diode that had a reasonable voltage drop. I found a high voltage one that dropped around 1.2 volts and was quite small. This I fitted through a small hole in each circuit board and bent the leads to loops to make contacts. It was fitted between the battery's, the right way around as a diode is a virtual open circuit when reverse biased. Viola it worked perfectly.
Wow that’s cool that you fiddled with the circuit to drop the voltage. I have a couple of eotechs and they don’t like the rechargeable 3.7 volt cr123s at all. They appear to go into limp mode and don’t fully light up so i reckon there is some over voltage protection going on. With the AA type eotech, using rechargeable lithiums does not seem to worry it and it works perfectly. My thermal scope seems to like the rechargeable cr123’s. go figure?

Not sure if this'll work. Sounds legit. I like this guy but i dislike how family names keep popping up in politics. Good to see you back Beno, we missed your contributions here! Thanks mate it turns out it’s been a while since i was here last! Nothing much to report, just living and letting live. Bobby Kennedy really opens up a conversation about the role of Biden and the US in this clip. Just fast forward the first bit.

You can eat myxo rabbit without fear of infection from what i have read. But i reckon it would test your survivalist mettle to a fair degree. I’m not sure about calici virus though. Probably can eat the rabbits with that too.

We have 5 starlink home services here, and have good internet, except for maybe 10 mins or so during a severe thunderstorm. Also, we apparently can wi fi the phone through the satellite and access e mails etc, and make limited calls. The closer the collapse of an empire, the crazier its laws. If you have wifi calling in your mobile you can use starlink to make calls that way. it’s good, no lag but does drop out every now and again. why 5 systems? surely you could link up wifi enabled modem to multiple routers and boost them if you need to.
