I reckon they've already got hunter killer satellites armed with some kind of Hyper-Sonic projectile capability already up there just waiting to drill through enemy satellites.

The only drama with blowing up satellites is it would render space travel and future rocket/satellite launches impossible due to the massive clouds of space debris floating around. The even named it "Kellser syndrome/effect"

Or a directed energy weapon. Does less satellites mean less ability for the leghumpers, local council fascists and assorted other do-gooders to spy on us? There’s tens of thousands of them in space. I saw about a dozen getting launched in the night sky above my retreat last year. I was there, just 8 ladies and myself, and we had no idea what they were at the time. General consensus in our drunken state was the start of an alien invasion. I suggested that all 8 ladies should make the most of their last night on Earth, sample some of ole Frostbite’s delights, but got a knock back from all of them, even the Mrs. Sucks to be me  |

(I wrote 'female dog', but the software.....try vassal) Eunuch: a massive vassal with a passive tassel. |

That's the idea, blind the masses who use the internet via satellite, but most don't realize that the links to exchanges and inter continental links are via satellites as well, so the net will die. Ditto the phone network, although it has redundancy using cable, but the speed and access will suck. Got your backup comms ready ?

Like I keep saying, money will be worthless, the doors to Ft Knox will be thrown open. U cant eat cash, well u probably could, but it wouldn't do u much good !
A defendable, arable property with room to grow food and water will be the new riches. And if u can repair 'stuff' u will be king.

Those big banks say they will write off $4.5 billion but still make a big profit. That sounds like a transfer of wealth from the rich to the poor to me. Open a credit card, rack up a substantial debt, don’t pay it off and the wealthy shareholders of the banks will remove that debt for you. That’s a good thing, isn’t it?

Try it and let us know if it works, if you are not in jail by then !!
It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt, we do not.

obtaining a bad credit rating at the right stage of life might be a really good option.
All that printed money had to go somewhere. This time it’s going from the printer to the shredder.
The question is how does one make money from this situation? land and food is an option, gold looks inviting but there are mega bucks there somewhere. I might look into what the rich did to keep their wealth in hard times of the past.

Bye bye cane toads !! Think of how many I could destroy in one go ! And the fence, house, stock and anything else within rickoshea range !
Harden your hearts gentlemen and gentlewomen, for the fight against evil is close at hand and I hope you are prepared for more than just surviving.

Well, it looks like the Thuraya satellite that covers our parts of the world has been lost and is unrecoverable dropping our satellite phone coverage from that brand.. l2sfbc.com/thuraya-is-officially-dead-in-australia/If you have a Thuraya satellite phone or device, it’s now useless in Australia. Service is gone, and will never be recovered. To understand what’s happened it’s important to understand how the Thuraya network operates. It is a geostationary constellation, which means it uses just two satellites to cover the earth. These satellites are in a high earth orbit, around 23,000km, and from there they can cover large parts of the earth’s surface. That’s why only two are needed. |

I’ve divested from mining a bit. i made good money over the years in mining but wanted more diverse investments. I’m trying to get my head around AI. That’s a whole new industry in it’s infancy waiting to explode. |

The next 12 months with what happens in Ukraine will probably answer that one for us. Euro defence would be the ones I would be looking at - Sweden, Germany, Austria, Switzerland perhaps Poland. |

Ah yes, AI. The key word is artificial.
It relies on prediction, normalcy, everything being the same today as it was yesterday.
For instance, every day you turn left at the corner, except Thursdays when you go right to do some shopping in town.
To screw up AI all u need to do is be unpredictable, random and it hasn't a chance. And I know there are patterns in randomness as well (witness the fractal analysis of a thunderstorm which I have carried out, predicting lightning strikes), but AI operates on predictive analysis.
Like my program, AI learns from its past observations, but it cant cope with true randomness (if there is such a thing, and a thunderstorm is not totally random either). I suspect that for AI to boom, networking will be the key. The more data or information it has, the better its conclusions will be.
We get glimpses of it when typing a web address and google tries to pre-empt your search with suggestions, mostly wrong or porn sites.
Data collection is the new standard they are aiming for. More data equals better prediction. Now we have mobile phones and cars that phone home reporting your every move, telephone call and so on, even if u switch the 'feature' off, it cant be totally disabled.
Ive seen the evidence for, I want to see different evidence.

The Soldier stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said,
"No, my Lord, I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a dollar,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell.

The Gooberment s and their big business bed partners continue to keep expanding the reach, capability and actual definition of "AI" at a great rate of knots! Like all technology this shit or their version of what "AI" actually is, like all technology it never delivers anywhere near what it promises! |
