I read a comment on this SVB crash and how during the Great Depression people were getting their money out of banks and saving them under the mattresses.
So many have fallen for the wonders of technology. The marketing tells them how easy it would be to have one chip from which they can carry out all the transactions and activities of their life.
What happens when the tech systems go down? And cash has been phased out? You’ll own nothing, buy nothing, eat nothing, and you’ll be very, very happy.

Some wiser folk here may be able to help me out.
The media in Oz has been broadcasting details of the AUKUS submarine deals. Is this planned misinformation to deceive the enemies or are they the facts?
So all the details: What kind? Where they will be built? How?
And best of all, that they will be available in 20 years.
By the time these submarines will be ready, the technology won’t be outdated in the 2040s?
So, is Xi rescheduling his plans with his team?
Well, comrades, let’s postpone attacking Australia till 2043 when they will have some old tech submarines to fight fairly against us?
Am I missing something here?

From kaysee’s link at 2:24PM:
America must have sold the war to its European allies as a short, sharp jab at Russia which will see it fold in a few months. The European allies probably believed that their economic sanctions on Russia, together with the expected high loss of life amongst the Russian army, would see Putin kicked from office.
It didn’t work out that way though. The Russian economy was sufficiently resilient to take the sanctions, and its army was able to break through the first two of the four supposed impregnable lines of defence quite easily and inflict heavy losses on the Ukrainians while suffering significantly less loss themselves.
Now we have a weakened Europe unable to defend themselves. They have lost their cheap energy supplies and a major market for their industrial output.
Europe has shot itself in the foot.

I suggested yesterday that Trump and DeSantis could work together instead of as rivals.
Due to his views on Ukraine, Desantis has the establishment upset. Same establishment dislikes Trump. If it is not happy with both, it means Don and Ron are doing what is best for America. If they united and focused on the problems and defeating the Dems, wouldn’t that be a surer way of winning the elections and then getting on with MAGA?

Is this what a leader would do? For six months, the attack has been on. If Trump is so confident of winning, why is he afraid of what other candidates do? This is the behaviour of someone who is feeling threatened and insecure.

Xi Jinping to fly to Kiev?
Xi is trying to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, and it looks like he’ll head straight to Kiev after meeting with Putin in Moscow next week. China wants to see this war ended as he’s building a railway line from China to Europe which will pass through Russia and Ukraine.
If Xi secures a cease-fire and a negotiated outcome to the Ukraine war, this will humiliate the western leaders who go to Kiev to tell the Kiev regime to keep fighting. I doubt that Zelensky will agree to a cease-fire though as the Azov guys will put a bullet through his head. They tolerate him only because he’s bringing western support into the country, he’ll be disposed of as soon as his usefulness ends.

I want to have a long rage and rant about the evil, woke, brainwashed, Marxist, Satanic cults that are interfering with children’s lives. Qwertyism, diversity, indigenous, racism …. But where do I begin?
1/
In the Oz today, is a story:
Adoption fight over Indigenous heritage
The two children are with a foster family and the review has been that they are happy, well-adjusted and cared for.
But now the discovery that grandmother is aboriginal. So the mother who hasn’t been able to care for her two children, by different fathers, is now wanting the children to be adopted only by aboriginals who will bring them up in the culture, traditions etc, etc.
How about the tradition of birth mother and father behaving like responsible parents and taking care of their children and providing for their needs?
The foster family is doing all it can to ensure the children learn about their heritage and the foster mother takes them to where ever necessary. But they can’t adopt these kids. I would guess that if anyone asked the children, they would choose to live with this family.
But who cares about what is best for the children? They are just pawns to be used by activists.

Then, there is the progressive Dave Rubin who now sits in the “Conservative” camp. The same Rubin, who with another man, bought eggs and rented wombs so he could imagine it was all a real family. The children are deprived of their birth mother so grown men can indulge their fantasies.

Rubin is now an authority on the subject of abortion.

I don’t know whether this is real or photo-shopped. But since trannyism and the rights of trannies are far more important than anyone else, it is possible that this could be real.
In the past, just a few years ago, it would have been child abuse. Now, it is about the self-identification feelz of the mentally ill. I came across this many weeks ago but didn’t want to post it as it is disgusting. If it is real, people who don’t yet realise the evils, need to see it.
I hope it is not true as it is too vile, and I fear for the well-being of the baby. If someone knows that it is fake, I would like to know.
Warning and an apology.
Here it is.

Macron couldn’t answer and was annoyed that the question was raised. It was raised again at a press conference after the meeting and he stormed out of the conference. His view is that these dark people shouldn’t be questioning him.
Similarly a senior German politician was put in his place when meeting with the President of Namibia. The Africans are sick of being lectured by their former colonial masters and they are letting the West know that they aren’t the only world power these days.

Labor rift deepens as Albanese, Wong return fire at Keating
A brawl has erupted within Labor over the deal to acquire eight nuclear-powered submarines from the United States and United Kingdom, as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and senior cabinet ministers push back on former prime minister Paul Keating’s strident criticisms of the AUKUS pact.
Albanese said his predecessor’s jibes did nothing “other than diminish him, frankly”, while Foreign Minister Penny Wong, whom Keating lambasted in an appearance at the National Press Club, said his views on China and other foreign policy questions “belong to another time”. But Keating’s attack on the government struck a nerve in Labor ranks, as Rudd and Gillard era cabinet minister Peter Garrett said the AUKUS deal “stinks” and two powerful blue-collar unions condemned the nuclear-powered project as a dangerous waste of money.
Rebutting Keating’s claim that AUKUS represented “the worst deal in all history”, Albanese said the government’s decision to spend up to $368 billion on a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines over the next 30 years was a worthwhile investment to enhance Australia’s national security in a volatile era. Wong also hit back at the Labor luminary, saying Australia could not “wish away” China’s military build-up under Xi over recent years.
“Keating has his views, but in substance and in tone they belong to another time,” she said.
Others echoed Keating’s criticisms of AUKUS. Peter Garrett, a veteran anti-nuclear campaigner who served as environment minister under Kevin Rudd, tweeted: “This deal stinks with massive cost, loss of independence, weakening nuke safeguards & more.” The maritime and electrical trades unions, whose members would be expected to get much of the work upgrading ports for the new submarines, also swung in with objections.
