Heard that a council somewhere up here is allowing a permanent caravan on site as long as there is a approved dwelling already on the property. Finally sense. Yeah, the chronic housing shortage is biting hard, if one does not have housing what gov going to do, keep evicting people. "granny flats" in Melbourne no longer require council approval.

It is a first for me. There are a lot of PCP rifles out there that are very capable. Would make a good survival bit of gear if one had good method to recharge the cylinder.

Japan in dire straits. Years of debt and money printing has come to an end. Japan has taken all measures to stabilise their currency over the last month - every single measure has failed.. Are they out of road to kick the can down..... US consumers tapped out no more money to spend. Japanese Yen Collapse May Be Black Swan Event Market Is Ignoringdashboard.verifiedinvesting.com/c/financial-news/japan-yen-collapse-may-be-black-swan-event-market-is-ignoringhe Yen continues to weaken even after the Japanese Central Bank intervened last week. The Dollar-Yen shot up to 160 on Monday, April 29th, 2024 before staging a dramatic collapse back to 152 upon the intervention. However, the intervention seems to have had only a short-term impact. The Dollar-Yen has climbed back to nearly 155 and looks unstoppable in heading back to 160 and higher unless intervention occurs again. This has catastrophe written all over it. The reason the United States does not want the Japanese Central Bank to dump U.S debt is because it would cause U.S. interest rates to spike dramatically higher. This would even threaten the Federal Reserve’s control over interest rates.

The economy is about to collapse, buy my book about it. “Michael’s new book entitled “Chaos” is available in paperback and for the Kindle on Amazon.com, and you can check out his new Substack newsletter right here.” I have no interest in doom merchants. I’m sure whilst some people are feeling economic hardship, others are doing very well. Same as it’s always been. These bloggers do make money out of posting. Some are more honest than others. Michael does good post and states relevant facts and quotes all his evidence that things as they are. It has got so crazy even main stream media are now posting about possible recession and more likely depression. US election is 4 months away there is only one outcome total chaos. Busy getting my last preps done like every medical issue sorted. One more trip to the dentist then I am done. Had a bit of dental work as did not go to a dentist for 34years.

"Well, no president, prime minister or judge has authority over all of Earth! This platform adheres to the laws of countries in those countries, but it would be improper to extend one country’s rulings to other countries." Go for it Elon! Fugg em where it really hurts! Yeah it is a big overreach, Elon is ex South African!! not so easily intimidated. - Had to put that in there just to stir up more trouble. X It is a media company - how can a company operate with governments deciding what is politically correct or not - pushing their agendas. The greens calling for Elon to be locked up - shows their true colours - given any power they will implement Chinese type restrictions with a social score.

Australia is getting a lot of heat for online censorship, the Aus Gov is going on a dangerous path. The Bishop that was stabbed said he wanted the video online and available for people to view. Gov labels everything that they don't like as misinformation and must be taken down. During the COVID times gov blocked a lot of medical advice that has since been proven to be correct. We are heading back into the dark ages and burning of books to please a gov narrative. AusPrep being an online forum might also come under scrutiny. "Australian Senator Says Elon Musk Should “Be In Jail And The Key Be Thrown Away” The Australian government has gone full authoritarian after passing ‘eSafety’ billmodernity.news/2024/04/25/australian-prime-minister-calls-for-ban-on-memes/The Australian Prime Minister appeared to call for a ban on memes on social media Wednesday, as his government continues a full on assault on freedom of speech online. During a press appearance, Anthony Albanese seemed to lump in memes making fun of him with “misinformation” he is claiming should be purged from the internet. “Social media platforms have a responsibility to make sure that misinformation isn’t got out there,” Albanese stated.

Breaking NewsUS stocks last nigh were up and down mostly ended in the red for like 5 days in a row. Then checked this morning Japanese stocks down 3.3% Aus down more than 1.5%..Oil up Gold up $27 to well over $2,408 an ounce... Oil up 4%, Bitcoin down 5%.. It was a bit of panic initially but Israel missiles did not connect and Iran is safe for the moment. Israel did subsequently bomb Iranian military bases in Syria and I think Iran as well. Fuel is up a bit, Aus dollar down. Stocks mostly big losses. The US companies are in their quarterly reporting, which is what is causing stocks to go down. Netflix down 9% on revue miss. Rubber is hitting the road, or the can kicking is running out of road.

- There will be satellite war, shooting enemy satellites out of the sky.
- Within 3 weeks of problems in Korean and Taiwan there will be a global nuclear war.

Breaking NewsUS stocks last nigh were up and down mostly ended in the red for like 5 days in a row. Then checked this morning Japanese stocks down 3.3% Aus down more than 1.5%..Oil up Gold up $27 to well over $2,408 an ounce... Oil up 4%, Bitcoin down 5%.. Time to fill up vehicles - I always feel the need to do something positive with such bad news, even if it is a few more preps. SUMMARY: www.zerohedge.com/markets/futures-tumble-oil-and-gold-soar-reports-huge-explosions-central-iran-israeli-airstrikes - Three large explosions heard in Isfahan south of Tehran, US officials confirm.
- The Natanz nuclear facility is located in Isfahan.
- Unconfirmed simultaneous explosions have also been reported in Syria and Iraq (Baghdad and Babil/Babylon province).
- Iran has established a no-fly-zone over its western region.
- Market reaction very strong: oil & gold soaring; TSY yields, crypto, and stocks tumbling.
- And just like that, Israel - having once again ignored Biden's pleadings not to escalate the already tense situation - is retaliating against Iran's weekend strike, which was itself a retaliation against Israel bombing Iran's embassy in Syria on April 1..
Explosions heard in Iran, US media reports Israeli strikeswww.smh.com.au/world/middle-east/explosions-heard-in-iran-us-media-reports-israeli-strikes-20240419-p5fl5m.htmlWashington: Israeli missiles have hit a site in Iran, the American ABC News reported on Friday citing a US official. Iran’s Fars news agency said explosions were heard near the airport at the country’s central Isfahan city, but the reason was unknown. “The cause of these sounds is still unknown, and investigations continue until the exact details of the incident are determined,” the semi-official Fars news agency said. The state-run IRNA news agency said Iran has fired air defence batteries in several provinces, without elaborating.
