Yip, heard about this on the way to work on ABC radio.... 58 additional police sent in, curfew for all persons under 18y from 6pm. Curfew is one step away from marshal law, many indigenous areas are currently no-go zones for ambulance and police, sets a precedence and Aus gov has lost control like a cancer it is spreading...: Get ready for state wide martial law when economy tanks. There has been calls for ADF to get involved, police don't have the resources!!! Alice Springs is just one of many towns that have the lawless problem but as a tourist destination it gets media and gov attention. Yip agree nothing will change. www.smh.com.au/national/what-s-happening-in-alice-springs-20240327-p5ffrt.htmlApart from Tuesday’s brawls, a series of violent incidents have taken place in Alice Springs in recent weeks, including on Saturday when a group of about 10 young women bashed and stripped a 16-year-old girl. Northern Territory police will send 58 additional officers to the town. There will be no criminal penalty for breaking the curfew, police said. Why are there calls for the federal government to be involved? ”Horrendous doesn’t cut it, but I have run out of words,” the town’s mayor, Matt Paterson, said on social media. He has previously called for federal help to tackle crime in the area

The Baltimore port is now blocked in, including the naval base there with a couple of boats in dock. The ship lost all power before the collision. Ripe for conspiracy theories about a foreign power hacking the ship to shut it down.... Ship captain is Ukrainian, good start to conspiracy.... starred by an ex General.

Not very common in Russia. Mass shoot of elite' at concert hall. 2024 is becoming very unstable. Lots of interesting vids and they put the place on fire. There appears to be a guy with a flame thrower, in the vid below... At Least 40 Dead, 100 Wounded, After Gunmen Storm Moscow Concert Hallwww.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/mass-shooting-attack-explosions-moscows-largest-concert-hall-reportsA mere days ago the US Embassy in Moscow released the following alert telling all US nationals still in the country to avoid large gatherings and public venues. What did they know?

"to me if survival came down to a tin it would mean all my preps and decision making had failed" Or in other words, its all turned to s..t. If we have to leave here, a pocket sized 'survival' tin isn't gonna do much as its all gone 'legs up' and the situation is almost hopeless. But I too am the sort of person who when given 5 minutes to solve a problem upon which my life depends, thinks about it for 4 1/2 minutes and then does what's needed in the last 30 seconds. There will always be 'stuff' around to use from abandoned cars and so on, so minimal carry. But until you get to the extra 'stuff', such a tin may well be useful. We've concentrated on making our farm our BOL. We know what's here, what grows, what supplies and skills we have for survival. A good many years back there were scavenging kits on YT. Crow bar and hacksaw blade, big bag and few tools for gathering supplies in an urban area -yip the Mad Max scenario. Haiti is now Mad max with 80% of urban areas controlled by gangs. Survival tin is a backup of a backup. Read the short book "an island to oneself", Neal goes to a small abandoned pacific island and lives there for 6 years. The first thing he did was put together a small survival kit and bury it incase everything got lost (Tsunami/fire/raiders) - he had no way to get of the island. His survival was fishing/ chickens that he feed with coconuts and veg garden. Luckily for him he discovered by accident that he had to self pollinate the veg as there were no bees, after reading some book by Darwin. Good SHORT read. www.scribd.com/document/196166202/TOM-NEALE-an-Island-to-Oneself

I always find it comical when "survival" includes a band-aid.
The rest is good though.
Aus cammo band aids - should count for something ... It is gimmicky stuff, to me if survival came down to a tin it would mean all my preps and decision making had failed. He is a hardcore bushcrafter and makes things - I focus more on survival and how to get out of a mess. It is one of the better survival tin kits. It does have value if going on a day hike and need to get out the rain, make fire or have a minor cut.

Well presented survival tin. There is a lot of content in the Web regarding survival gear, but this guy is quite impressiveness, quick and to the point. Cool demonstrations, Very useful items in the tin. Sewing, fishing and snares, catapult and traps are well made.

The economic doomsayers are coming out in force for imminent stock market crash. All the indicators have been flashing red for a long time. finance.yahoo.com/news/p-500-bizarrely-overvalued-could-204249144.htmlS&P 500 is 'bizarrely overvalued' and could crash 49% as recession sets in, elite strategist says- The S&P 500 may crash 49% when valuations normalize and a recession hits, Paul Dietrich said.
- B. Riley Wealth's chief strategist flagged market and economic indicators that were flashing red.
- Dietrich titled his latest commentary "The Stock Market Bubble Is About to Burst — Look Out!"
B. Riley Wealth Management's chief investment strategist issued the alarming call in a commentary titled "The Stock Market Bubble Is About to Burst — Look Out!" He compared the buying frenzy to the feverish demand for lottery tickets when the jackpot passes $750 million: "That's when everyone starts to go insane." Dietrich cautioned against putting money into the market now, noting that stocks often surge before a recession hits and then promptly plunge. Bubbles can pop suddenly and disastrously because they're inflated by emotion and momentum, not built on fundamentals such as earnings or economic growth, he said. The Wall Street veteran walked through a raft of flashing valuation metrics and indicators to make his case that stocks were "bizarrely overvalued" and trouble was coming. For example, he flagged the S&P 500's historically high price-to-earnings ratio, unusually low dividend yield, elevated trading range, and infeasible priced-in earnings growth.
"This is how far this bubble has gone," he said. "The stock market is basically priced for earnings growth that has only happened 3% in the past, and that percentage has generally happened when the economy was coming out of a severe recession." Dietrich also pointed to a 180%-plus reading on the "Buffett Indicator," which suggests the US stock market is heavily overvalued relative to the size of the economy. He argued that gold's surge to record highs signaled investors were taking cover from expensive stocks and a faltering economy.

They are not real quakes, earthquake is classified as anything over 4.5 on the Richter scale. But yes having studied geology and worked more than 15 years as a geologist with a keen interest in seismic events (am still in mining and do work related to UG collapses etc.). The West coast of the USA esp. California area is well over due for a big one. It is part of the ring of fire and considering all the tectonic activity - Japan pacific islands etc. The Cascadia Subduction Zone has basically locked up. An earthquake is movement reducing stress. If the fault locks then pressure builds to unprecedented levels and when releases it is a global event - we will feel the waves in Aus. Many people of Christian religious persuasion are trumpeting the 8th April solar eclipse that occurs with a comet on a Jewish holy day as an omen for EQ's to start. It is one of my prediction for 2024 for EQ to ramp up... The Mississippi river all the way from the Great lakes in Canada to New Orleans (Gulf of Mexico) sits on a major fault zone (New Madrid Seismic Zone), Back in 1811 the fault activated, and the Mississippi river actually flowed upstream, new lakes and hills were created, it was felt all the way to NYC and Church bells rung. America is going to be ripped in half. Again it is overdue for movement. New Madrid Seismic Zonecusec.org/new-madrid-seismic-zone/The Great New Madrid Earthquakes of 1811-12 were a series of over 2,000 seismic events, which occurred for approximately five months, beginning December 16, 1811. Several of those earthquakes are believed to have been magnitude 7.0 or greater. 400 terrified residents in the town of New Madrid, Missouri were abruptly awakened by violent shaking and a tremendous roar. It was December 16, 1811, and it was the first of at least three very large (M7 or greater) earthquakes and thousands of aftershocks to rock the region that winter, with the last occurring on February 7, 1812. Survivors reported that the earthquakes caused cracks to open in the earth’s surface, the ground to roll in visible waves, and large areas of land to sink or rise. The crew of the New Orleans (the first steamboat on the Mississippi, which was on her maiden voyage) reported mooring to an island only to awake in the morning and find that the island had disappeared below the waters of the Mississippi River. Damage was reported as far away as Charleston, South Carolina, and Washington, D.C. 00 terrified residents in the town of New Madrid, Missouri were abruptly awakened by violent shaking and a tremendous roar.

Internet blackout. ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — A dozen countries across Africa suffered a major internet outage on Thursday as multiple undersea telecommunication cables reported failures, network operators and internet watch groups said. apnews.com/article/africa-internet-outage-undersea-cables-failure-ac67fd11b4d9ae7cb3959622c5e9e78bThe MTN Group, one of Africa’s largest network providers, said the ongoing disruptions were a result of failures in multiple major undersea cables. “Our operations are actively working to reroute traffic through alternative network paths,” the South African company said in a statement. Network disruptions caused by cable damage have occurred in Africa in recent years. However, “today’s disruption points to something larger (and) this is amongst the most severe,” said Isik Mater, director of research at NetBlocks, a group that documents internet disruptions around the world.

How can restricting ownership to 5 reduce the illegal guns on the street ? Somebody should ask these jerks to show the link. Its bad luck to be superstitious. If someone breaks into you house and steals the firearms they only get 5 instead of 200. ??!!!~~!!~... The illegal's importers send entire shipping containers of guns at a time into the country - that is where the real illegal guns are coming from. For me all new purchase have been putting them other family members license. So total firearm's held on site will not change.

Bit of a long vid, basically 300,000 Jews have applied for firearm licences since the war with Hamas, about 10,000 a day. Problem is they have to undergo range training. There ranges open from 6am to midnight getting people trained. Have posted on this before their gov have removed a lot of restrictions on type and amount of ammunition one can purchase.
