Reading a bit about the various scandals in Qld, well, as much as you can. The hiding of detail is pernicious. IMO you can go into any such gummint organisation and find few people with actual qualifications and experience and an abundance of folk who are well meaning but lack any expertise. They tend to be the most vocal and are there to put bums on seats or have the lived experience supported by job descriptions written by a contortionist. In the country anyway. I’m sure I got whiplash from shaking my head in disbelief at what I was hearing.

Amazing stuff from Adventures With Purpose, Steve – thanks for posting.
Also, I am glad I deliberately chose not to live somewhere that is prone to earthquakes (although we do get the odd tremor here.) Your man Dutchsinse seems to be on the money for those who do.

Ted, Queensland has always had scandals, as have almost every other State. Usually, they just involve graft about land deals and the like, but the ones involving the forensic lab and Mackay Hospital benchmark a new low.

Airguardian:
Sergey Bogdan (Сергей Богдан), chief test pilot of the Sukhoi Company and Hero of the Russian Federation performs a mind-boggling flight performance with the famed russian 5th generation fighter aircraft, the Sukhoi Su-57 during MAKS 2019 airshow on August 31st at Ramenskoe airport in Zhukovskiy.
In the previous video we saw a different display by a different pilot that introduced many high-speed segments to which Bogdan’s own performance adds up with unearthly, gravity defying and pretty aggressive post-stall maneuvers flown with masterful showmanship, taking advantage of the many features from this magnificient aircraft design.
Unlike in past MAKS editions, now we finally see the Su-57 being pushed closer to the limits of what the airframe is capable of, delighting the onnlookers with pure amazement.
Moreover, on August 27th, President Putin and President Erdogan met at the airshow to discuss a possible deal including export versions of the Su-35 and the Su-57. If Turkey ends up inking a contract to acquire any of these russian-made fighter jets, it will be a big deal for the russian aerospace industry. The negotiations are still developing.
The Sukhoi Su-57, previously designated T-50 (Сухой Су-57 / T-50) is a single-seat, twin-engine, stealth fighter aircraft with multirole capability but designed for air superiority and attack operations. This jet aircraft is the product of the PAK-FA (ПАК-ФА, Перспективный авиационный комплекс фронтовой авиации, literally “Prospective Aviation Complex of Frontline Aviation”), a fifth-generation fighter programme of the Russian Air Force. The first prototype performed the maiden flight on January 29, 2010. Deliveries of production aircraft to the Russian Air Force are expected to begin in 2018.
The fighter is intended to succeed the MiG-29 and Su-27 in the Russian Air Force and to serve as the basis for the Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) while complementing the recently built fleets of SU-35S and SU-30SM. The initial production batch are to be delivered with a highly upgraded variant of the AL-31F engine, extensively used by the Su-27 family while a totally new turbofan jet powerplant is being designed from scratch. In fact the first prototype of this engine has already been fitted into a SU-57 airframe and has already begun testing.
The Su-57 has a blended wing body fuselage and incorporates all-moving horizontal and vertical stabilizers. The aircraft incorporates thrust vectoring nozzles and has adjustable leading edge vortex controllers (LEVCONs) that improve high angle of attack behaviour. The advanced flight control system and thrust vectoring nozzles make the aircraft highly maneuverable in both pitch and yaw, enabling it to perform post-stall maneuvers such as the Pugachev’s Cobra and the Bell maneuver, along with doing flat rotations with little altitude loss. The aircraft’s high cruising speed and normal operating altitude is also expected to give it a significant kinematic advantage over older fighter jet generations.

He has a point.
The world is reorganising around two systems.
The remnants of what was, but now isn’t going to be, the NWO; and a central axis around Russia, China and perhaps India.
It is obvious now that the central axis has been planning to disengage for quite some time now.
It must also be dawning on our dumbarse ex- globalists leaders that they are going to need the working man in his more raw form to fight the coming battle. I think sissyism, identity shite, welfarism and general soft- cockery is about to go out of fashion.

Russia, China and Iran will be the big three, they will be joined by a lot of smaller satellite nations, the Stan countries, North Korea, and later (most regrettably) by Edom. Edom is found in eastern/central Europe, particularly in eastern Germany, and also in the Samurai class in Japan.
The Prophet Daniel called them the ten-nation kingdom of iron and clay, i.e., things which don’t stick together very well.They will eventually go to war against each other, China will send an army to fight against Iran possibly because Iran (the Mahdi, called the anti-Christ in the Bible) will attempt to force Islam on China and the Chinese want to retain Han superiority.
These people have been seduced by Lucifer and think themselves to be untouchable and will be the rulers of the whole world. Their power comes from one nation called the Daughter of Babylon by the Prophets, and Mega Babylon (Babylon the Great) in Yeshua’s Revelation. That nation will be destroyed by fire in just one hour, then the motley collection of the ten nations will fill the power vacuum left behind, but only for seven years.

The world took notice when the US launched their financial war against Russia earlier this year.
The UK once had the primary reserve currency, then it moved to the US. They both dominated world trade at their respective times, so it made sense.
However, today the US economy is based on flipping burgers, so it’s natural China and especially Russia would be focused on creating new financial systems.

Eli from Russia:
Orenburg isn’t a popular place to visit in Russia but in vain. It’s one of the country’s biggest regions which contains masses of preserved corners of pristine nature, the Ural Mountains, salt lakes, the spirit of the ancient history of the tribes and endless steppes with the world’s last preserved wild horses named Przewalski’s. Przewalski’s horse is the last species of truly wild horse left on Earth. It was discovered in 1879 by a famous Russian traveler and geographer Nikolai Przewalsky in Central Asia. The species almost died out completely twice in history but now the horses are revived in the centers of reintroduction like Orenburg nature reserve. So far in Russia, this center of reintroduction of Przewalski horses is the only one.

Steve, the real story is the US discovered that their embassy was being illuminated by weak microwave radiation. Nobody could figure out why. Turns out the the US had contracted the Russians to build the new embassy. The Russians had planted electronic bugs throughout (file under – well, duh!). Electronics needs power. Batteries will go flat after a relatively short time so you use microwave rectennas on the bugs which are then powered by rectifying the microwave radiation.
I must applaud the cleverness of the Russians in this. Nowadays you’d probably power the bugs from the embassy’s own Wi-Fi.
