Debt is exploding, there is only one way this is heading... It has gone exponential, amount of money borrowed/spent to save banks and economy is escalating with ever decreasing impact. US Deficit Tops $1.1 Trillion For First Six Months Of Fiscal 2024 As Spending Hits 2024 Highwww.zerohedge.com/markets/us-deficit-tops-11-trillion-first-six-months-fiscal-2024-spending-hits-2024-highIt's oddly fitting that in a time when the interest on US debt just hit a record $1.1 trillion, that the US deficit for just the first six months of fiscal 2024 is also $1.1 trillion. According to the latest Treasury Monthly Statement, in March the US deficit hit $236 billion, some $40 billion more than the $196 billion expected, if below February's $296 billion...

Iron and and copper are very recyclable, energy is a big issue. Einstein thought we will be going back to sticks and stones.
With the fall of every great civilisation a lot of know, ledge is lost and takes decades to rediscover. Things like boating, structure of the earth, weather patterns will never be lost. How to make gunpowder, compass, x-ray etc... , medical knowledge. Bizarre practices like blood letting, using mercury to treat viral infections will hopefully be a thing of the past. DNA contaminated vaccines would also hopefully be a thing of the past...
Albert Einstein — 'I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.'

Top US Egg Supplier "Temporarily Ceases" Operations At Texas Plant After Bird Flu Outbreak www.zerohedge.com/commodities/top-us-egg-supplier-temporarily-ceases-operations-texas-plant-after-bird-flu-detectedThe largest egg producer in the US has temporarily halted production at one of its facilities after bird flu—also known as highly pathogenic avian influenza, or HPAI—was detected. Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. wrote in a press release that HPAI was detected at "one of the Company's facilities located in Parmer County, Texas, resulting in depopulation of approximately 1.6 million laying hens and 337,000 pullets, or approximately 3.6% of the Company's total flock."

Quarter 2 2024 is starting with a bang. War and bird fl Iran says Israel bombed its embassy in Syria, killing a top commanderwww.reuters.com/world/middle-east/building-close-iranian-embassy-hit-syria-iranian-media-report-2024-04-01/This now opens up the possibility that Tehran could strike back at Israel's embassies and consulates abroad, in yet more worrying and unpredictable escalation. In Major Escalation Israel Strikes Iranian Embassy In Syria, Killing 8www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/iranian-embassy-syria-targeted-large-israeli-airstrikes-major-escalationThe “Mystery Illness” That Has Been Spreading Among Cattle In Texas, Kansas And New Mexico Has Been Identified, And It Isn’t Good NewsOfficials had been greatly puzzled by a “mystery disease” that has been making dairy cattle in Texas, Kansas and New Mexico very sluggish and has been causing them to produce much less milk. So they decided to do some testing, and we now have the results. It turns out that the mystery illness is actually “the same strain of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) that’s been in the U.S. for two years”… theeconomiccollapseblog.com/the-mystery-illness-that-has-been-spreading-among-cattle-in-texas-kansas-and-new-mexico-has-been-identified-and-it-isnt-good-news/www.dshs.texas.gov/news-alerts/dshs-reports-first-human-case-avian-influenza-texas#:~:text=The%20Texas%20Department%20of%20State,be%20infected%20with%20avian%20influenza. First Case Of Bird-Cow-Human Transmission Of Bird Flu Reported In TexasThe Texas Department of State Health Services is reporting a human case of avian influenza A(H5N1) virus in Texas. The case was identified in a person who had direct exposure to dairy cattle presumed to be infected with avian influenza. The patient, who experienced eye inflammation as their only symptom, was tested for flu late last week with confirmatory testing performed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention over the weekend. The patient is being treated with the antiviral drug oseltamivir. The case does not change the risk for the general public, which remains low. Drone Launched From Iraq Slams Into Israeli Base For First Time Of Warwww.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/drone-launched-iraq-slams-israeli-base-first-time-warIn a significant first of the Gaza war marking a very serious escalation, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have confirmed that a drone which slammed into a naval base in Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat early Monday morning was launched from Iraq. The IDF its statement said it identified a "suspicious aerial target" that breached Israeli airspace "from the east" before making impact "in the Eilat Bay area" on the Red Sea. While this isn't necessarily the first instance of Iraqi militant groups claiming to have fired on Eliat, it appears to be the first time that direct impact was made on an Israeli navy base and that the IDF has confirmed it.

Turkey elections, bit upset for Erdogan, The 67% inflation is starting to inflict pain. Erdogan has a no change to interest rates policy.. More Black Swans landing. tradingeconomics.com/turkey/currencyThe Turkish lira weakened past 32.4 per USD, a fresh record low, as traders digest the election results and the economic outlook for the country. President Erdogan's AKP party suffered a significant defeat in the local elections, losing in major cities like Istanbul and Ankara. There were fears that this could lead to a shift from recent orthodox economic policies and a more loose fiscal policy, but President Erdogan accepted defeat and promised his efforts to rein in inflation would pay off this year. The annual inflation rate in Turkey rose to 67.07% in February 2024, the highest reading since November 2022. To shield their savings from inflation, many Turks are turning to gold and other assets linked to the US dollar. The central bank had already increased the key interest rate by 4,150bps since last year.

"Draw Out Some Cash Day" is set to run on Tuesday, April 2 – encouraging Australians to withdraw cash from ATMs in protest of the move to a cashless society."“Cash equals freedom ... they are doing everything to push us into this digital CBC world,” Mr Dean said.
“Which is absolutely a prison – basically a technological prison."
“Get your cash out on Tuesday, let’s show them we still love cash.”When 25 out of 26 million Australians decide to keep using cash there is nothing the Government Bottom Feeders and their Banker and Cop mates can do about it except outlaw it and confiscate it when they find it! Cash will go "Black Market" it'll be the new "Cocaine" ! The family my daughter married into are all lawyers, I remember having a discussion with them when CODID was on and people did not want to touch cash. Cash is legal tender in Australia and may not be refused. Australian laws are not enforced by woke courts. We are in end stages of society collapse.. Those working with cash are going broke. There was emergency funding from supermarkets and banks for Armaguard last week, only like 13% of people use cash. etc to keep they only cash transit company in Australia going.. Armaguard rebuffs $26m funding lifeline after securing Linfox capital injectionwww.news.com.au/finance/business/other-industries/hours-left-for-armaguard-to-clinch-funding-lifeline-as-cash-shortage-fears-intensify/news-story/131dc78f4b283d2e25270dec038dbf06How Armaguard's fight for survival could spell the end of cash in Australia forever - as supermarket giant issues card only warningwww.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13247183/Armaguard-cash-Australia-Coles.html

What is different? Remember Government filth and their Goon Squads did exactly the same thing in our East Coast cities in varying degrees for two years and was applied to innocent citizens just trying to survive day to day! Shooting a grandmother with rubber bullets was deemed perfectly fine by the Victorian government and not at all newsworthy by the legacy media. But the slightest bit of police force against the chosen ones and it's national news. Good point, the woke brigade are having a major meltdown.. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-30/alice-springs-nt-youth-curfew-communication-criticism/103649356

They are using some form of emergency legislation (civil disorder) to enact this response. observe carefully cause all states possess this type of legislation. It’s mostly used for natural disasters but has very broad reach when you read into it. So far NT gov has resisted calls to bring in the military saying they can handle it. If they do end up using the military i’d like to be a fly on the wall once it is announced to them i’m hoping and expect there is zero enthusiasm. I did some riot control for the South African military in a very volatile township. They gave us 3hours of training (was still in basic training) set us in to make a perimeter around the township, instructed to let no one out. While police and other special units went in and searched every dwelling took like 18h, some of the guys I was with just fainted while standing upright. Only equipment was R1 rife (FN: 7.62x51mm NATO) and 40 rounds of ammo. Option's to respond are very limited. ie. to deadly force. Military law states if fired upon or attacked it is mandatory to fire back else you endanger others of your unit and degrade your projection of strength. The only reason they would use military if they run into a critical manpower shortage. Police across the country are understaffed and and Alice springs is not the only town with issues.

Faction fighting has been an indigenous culture since the beginning. It was just endless cycle of killing each other and starving till the Europeans came. Now it is Europeans hands off and cant take people out of their culture. There is no work ethics never been, so it is back to the old ways.

Some commentators are saying we are in a 'full employment recession". I wonder.....sudden death might enter into it, not enough people left to do the work Employment is not what it seams more gig and entertainment jobs, gov getting in less money from personal taxes. esp in the USA. But they claim employment is strong. US Gov debt is increasing by the billions on a weekly bases, borrowing and spending like not tomorrow, when he economy really fails there will be nothing left in the tank to advert a crisis. Interesting job report from "seek" 3 days back, things in Aus not so gooooood. www.seek.com.au/about/news/employment-report-february24NATIONAL INSIGHTS:
Job ads declined 2.5% in February. Job ad volumes are down 18.6% year-on-year (y/y). Applications per job ad rose 2.9% from the month prior.*

Financial chickens coming home to roost. All the fake economic growth and strength of US labour market facade coming to the surface. The US gov put 1.2million illegal immigrants as working to boost the numbers. Philadelphia Fed Admits US Payrolls Overstated By At Least 800,000 www.zerohedge.com/markets/philadelphia-fed-admits-us-payrolls-overstated-least-800000The first red flags emerged in the summer of 2022: that's when the Biden Labor Department started well and truly rigging the labor market data. Regular readers may recall that it was back in July of 2022, when we first warned that something had "snapped" in the labor market: that's when a striking discrepancy emerged between the number of US Payrolls (as measured by the BLS' Establishment Survey, a far more crude and imprecise, yet much more market-moving data series), and the number of actual Employed Workers (as measured by the BLS' far more accurate Household Survey) . As we showed then, after the two series had tracked each other tick for tick for years, a wide gap opened in March 2022 which quickly grew to 1.5 million jobs
