Lots of news comming in on the UK riots escalation, it was 1 then 2 then 10 now 45 cites and districts burning and dealing with rioters.
Now Muslims are rioting, but police ignore them and only target Brits, it is creating a lot of resentment.. Perhaps Musk is right about civil war in UK.

I read the UK government passed a new law yesterday that allows them to extradite people from around the world to face terrorism/hate crime charges for online incitement/propaganda in the UK |

My other predictions for the year was natural disasters. There has been lots of flooding across the world recent hurricane hitting the US and now major earthquake in Japan Forest fires in the western US and Canada.. No one seems to pay much attention to that as it seems such a common yearly event.. I know some of the area in western Canada where the land slide into the river created a dam, then the destruction down stream when the dam self destructed.. It has long been my thought we are in more immediate danger from regional weather issues than any other source of a problem.. My 5 cents of opinion.. |

It seems very similar (but on a larger scale) as to what happened at Cronulla many years ago. Government and police did nothing to stop the lebanese harassing/assaulting women. Locals protest Police target protesters Protest dissipates Lebanese go hunting anyone who looks white Police do nothing |

Japan quake registered as a 500 mm high Tsunami, small yes, but apparently travelled over 3 km inland.
Suggest that if you are near the coast it may be time to consider relocating before the big one hits. The earthquake activity seems to be ramping up recently, even with some in central Qld.
To eat your competition, you must use the correct fork.

I have many close family members living in "The Shire" who for years before the Cronulla Riots warned about this! The cops did fugg all until it was too late! The boys monitoring the comments would surely agree with me! |

Yeah have to agree, Cronulla was something else wasn't it. It was one of the things that I looked at when we were considering our forever home. Being in a city no matter what the demographic is, during a SHTF event like mass riots = NO THANKS! I get that a lot of people don't have a choice so I definitely sympathise with that because we didn't either for a long time there. I guess the nearest solution is to become friendly with your neighbours and those in your street so that at least anyone outside of the street is looked at with caution and concern by everyone else.
More eyes equals harder to hide after all.

Just saw a interesting doco on u tube re nuclear torpedo's. The Ruskies have one apparently rated at 100 MT, capable of travelling over 1,500 km, then creating a Tsunami over 150 meters high. Something like that would destroy much of the Australian coastal cities, or anywhere in the world for that matter.
Such a wave would travel for 100's Km inland, only stopping at a mountain range.
With WW3 on the horizon, maybe living on the coat isn't such a good idea.
The only people I fear are the ones who don't have any doubts.

The Ukrainian and Israeli wars have been going on too long, it wont be long before major accident and then everything boils over. Ukraine now deep inside Russia hitting air force bases and capturing a gas plant, prince of gas up on Europe. US was previously refusing to allow Ukraine to hit targets within Russia now gloves coming off. Israel just assassinated another military commander in Lebanon. The longer the wars go on the more bitter and nasty they become. Putin Said To Be Stunned By Ukraine's Shock Attacks On Kursk & Lipetskwww.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/putin-said-be-stunned-ukraines-shock-attacks-kursk-lipetsk
Pentagon Refuses To Rule Out Strikes On Moscow In Shocking Exchange On Ukraine's Incursion Into Kurskwww.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/pentagon-refuses-rule-out-strikes-moscow-shocking-exchange-ukraines-incursion-kurskThe Pentagon on Thursday was asked by a reporter during the daily briefing whether Ukraine forces' use of American weapons in its ongoing Kursk incursion is "consistent" with US policy of what Ukraine can and cannot do with US weapons. It has become clear that Ukrainian troops are currently using American weapons to attack Russian territory, troops, civilians, and infrastructure. Spokeswoman Sabrina Singh answered without hesitation that "yes it is consistent with our policy" and explained that Washington has supported the need for "crossfire" from Ukraine back across the border onto Russian positions from which it is being attacked, even if that is on Russian territory. She framed what is happening in Russia's Kursk oblast—an offensive which has entered day four—as 'defensive' in nature. Singh still tried to point out that it remains US policy for Ukraine to avoid striking deep into Russian territory using American arms; however, when pressed about the scenario of a direct attack on Moscow, she simply said: "I’m not going to put a specific range on it" and thus refused to rule it out. But she did caveat that "we still don't support long-range attacks into Russia." Singh additionally explained, "I'm not gonna draw a circular map for you here of where they can and cannot strike." The Kremlin is likely to remain unconvinced when hearing this clear escalation in rhetoric from the Pentagon where attacking the Russian capital is discussed, even if theoretically. Watch the full exchange related to the Kursk offensive below: |

So from 50m to about 5km inland in the Illawarra then.

Yup, can u swim ?
That was another reason we moved from Yellow Rock, it was just too near the coast, and even though we were over 180 meters, the surge would have got us. The other reason was the development there and too many threats from people in a SHTF situation.
Over 100 km inland here and 150 m ASL, over two mountain ranges, so should be safe.
Nearest town of 30,000 is 50 km away.
Biology is the only science where multiplication means the same as division.

During the Cronulla Riots there was a threat made to do a drive by shooting at Menai High just as the kids were leaving in the afternoon. The school was closed for the day and there was a massive police presence outside the school that afternoon. I was working that neighbourhood and thought it would be amusing to ride past the school at speed and using my kill switch and a fair bit of throttle make my bike backfire, just to see a bunch of cops face plant into the dirt. Unfortunately by 3:05pm the cops had all left, and were raiding the local Maccas.

Supposedly.. Iran, Irak, someone much more unstable than many in that part of the world is more upset than usual as Ukraine supposedly has American made weapons with the potential of reaching Moscow... I have no other details at this moment on that..

Frost, its yr BOL that's at 800 m, the Illawarra isn't that's for sure.
Hopefully there will be enough warning to be able to bug out to it before TSHTF.

Anyone else a bit edgy for the end of the Olympics and when the whole world isn't busy with something?
