Main stream media panicking over loss of control of what people hear and believe. WSJ Editor-in-Chief Admits To Davos Elites 'We No Longer Own The News'www.zerohedge.com/political/wsj-editor-chief-admits-davos-elites-we-no-longer-own-news "I think think there’s a very specific challenge for the legacy brands, like the New York Times and like the Wall Street Journal," Tucker said, adding "If you go back really not that long ago, as I say, we owned the news. We were the gatekeepers, and we very much owned the facts as well.""If it said it in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, then that was a fact," she continued, adding "Nowadays, people can go to all sorts of different sources for the news and they’re much more questioning about what we’re saying." Gee. I wonder if there were any recent events that caused people to stop watching and believing in the mainstream media. |

Storing oil for vehicles and machinery, this is an interesting video, and I thought new oil stored for ever, and used oil could 'refine' itself if it was left to settle out.
The UARTS wont take this speed Captain.

We learned at TAFE that it's the additives in the oil that break down, either in storage or in an engine.
about 2 services ago I had to do my service at 5000k (instead of the usual 10k) as it was about a year since the last service, and the oil degradation alarm in my car went off saying I had to do a service because the oil had broken down enough to trigger it

This is the same in all Western Countries and those that are signing up are mostly pretty ordinary specimens that have no other place to go! It's what happens when Governments turn on their predominant male population and make them the "enemy"! |

It's what happens when Governments turn on their predominant male population and make them the "enemy"! The demographics are a disaster for the UK defence force. They have traditionally recruited from poor, indigenous areas. Migrants rarely join the military. Eg: the muslim proportion of the UK population ins 8%, yet they only represent 1% of the military. This is hardly surprising though, as most arrived for economic reasons and have a much stronger allegiance to their religion than to the UK. So with the systematic discrimination against indigenous British and migrants non-loyalty, it is hard to see how a volunteer army is going to recover from this. |

If the ex British NCO’s in the Australian Army are anything to go by, then no wonder the British army have a retention problem. Treat your troops better and they might stay longer. A lesson ADF could also learn.

When i moved to Aus in 2006, one shooting incident would make the news for a week, now just rolls in daily. Back in the day Police shooting someone was exceptionally rare, it was a huge event, unless it was corrupt cop Roger Rogerson who had made a serious hobby out of it! |

The Evergrand failure is not the whole company, only the Hong Kong based branch. Evergrand in China is in hock for a few trillion dollars.........and it has been said, on the mainstream news, is too big to fail.
ASCII and you shall receive.

Evergrand in China is in hock for a few trillion dollars.........and it has been said, on the mainstream news, is too big to fail. Too big to fail, or tooooo big to bail out, It has been going on for 2 years and no solution in sight hence forced liquidation...... The Economist on ABC radio, this has potential to disable the region and cause knock on effects, like demand for Aus coal and iron ore, as construction comes off. Many people invested in Evergrand and they are in the process of building houses - that they said will still get built despite the liquidation. Main cause of currency failure is loss of faith and loss of creditability. China building industry is the largest asset class in the world as it is basically the only investment the Chinese gov allow their citizens. Failure would result in contagion. |

There is one thing China doesn't need and that is more crappy apartments.

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?

It seems that if you give it a few years they demolish themselves.

Here's hoping. Not the Chinese people of course, the CCP could get in the ocean with only half a lung-full though.

/billionaires approve/ A public that spends 'for the now' is a very, very fragile one. That money doesn't disappear either. It goes straight into the pockets of the owners. I swear we are inexorably crawling back to feudalism. |

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.
