    That’s all we need to know. It confirms your trust in establishment history.

    Levi, alluded to Australia. It is not something you just make your mind up in two minutes, like the clown that chimed in. Take your time and suss it out. It can take months…or you soak up everything the establishment historians want you to do and you just go into sheep status.

    woof bark growl:

    Cash’s first time in the snow! Snow in Los Angeles county down to 1000ft elevation is unusual. We took advantage of that to head up interstate 5 to find fresh snow and we did. The recent storms prompted blizzard warnings which is almost unheard of in Southern California. This video was recorded just off the Templin Hwy exit heading north from Castaic.

    I have come to the conclusion it is best to use a very sceptical eye on any opinion stories on YouTube about hidden conspiracies. It is a good rule to suspect it will be unhinged.

    And best to minimise contact with people that send multiple links to multiple YouTube stories. They spend waaay too much time watching them.

    Like the old days when one’s neighbour would spend hours late at night listening to tapes while recreational ploughing in the tractor. It never ends well.

    Top End weather report –

    Stranded residents call for help
    The remote outstation of Woodycupildiya, about 180 kilometres south-west of Darwin, has been cut off by the recent rainfall.
    With roads impassable and creeks swelling, the outstation’s 31 residents — comprising 16 adults and 15 children — have said they don’t have food, and are worried about dwindling power and medical supplies. “We tried going up the road and all the creeks were up,” resident Kenny Ah Fat said.
    “We couldn’t get onto the main Port Keats or Peppimenarti road to get to Daly River, and that more or less has blocked us off.”
    Mr Ah Fat said without a store, residents had run out of food, and resorted to catching a pig in the wild to feed the community.
    “There’s no food at all, I’m telling you we’ve got none,” she said. “My stomach is just about bloody nearly touching my back bone. “Nearly a week [we’ve been without food], about four or five days. Nothing to give the kids for lunch, even. “If we don’t get any help today, they’re going to go to sleep hungry.”
    Another Woodycupildiya local, Margaret Miler, said she was concerned about treatment for her diabetes as medical supplies in the community dwindled. “I am a sick old lady, I am a diabetic,” she said. “What are we going to do if we run out of tablets (to treat our diabetes)? Then what are we going to do?”
    Mr Ah Fat and the other residents want to be evacuated to Darwin until the roads become passable, or a reliable food supply can be set up. “This is an emergency, but they’re (the NT government and emergency services) not taking it seriously. We need to be put somewhere like Marrara (evacuation centre),” he said. The station still has water, but residents told the ABC they were concerned if diesel fuel ran out they would lose access to clean water and power. The ABC understands the NT government will provide food drops to Woodycupildiya in coming days.

    White man bad until we need them.

    These smaller quakes are finishing off a lot of buildings.

    **************

    Disaster Compilations:

    28 Feb 2023 #deprem #malatya #earthquake
    A magnitude 5.2 earthquake has hit eastern Turkey, killing at least one person and wounding dozens while causing some damaged buildings to collapse.

    Monday’s earthquake became the latest major tremor to rock southern Turkey as the region rebuilds from earlier massive quakes that killed more than 50,000 people across southern Turkey and northwest Syria.

    The latest quake was centred in the town of Yesilyurt in Malatya province, the country’s disaster management agency (AFAD) said, adding that one person was killed when a factory collapsed in Kahramanmaras, the epicentre of the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that hit the region on February 6, and 69 others were injured.

    Yesilyurt’s Mayor Mehmet Cinar told HaberTurk television that a number of buildings in the town collapsed, including a four-storey building where a father and daughter were trapped.

    Cinar said the pair had entered the damaged building to collect belongings.

    AFAD said that 32 people were saved in Malatya after the latest tremor.

    Television images showed the man being carried on a stretcher into an ambulance, while rescue teams were trying to make contact with his daughter inside the damaged building.

    Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan acknowledged the shortcomings of his government’s response to the February 6 earthquakes as he spoke at a news conference in Adiyaman, one of the provinces hardest hit by the disaster.

    “In the first days, we were not able to conduct work as efficiently as we wanted to in Adiyaman, for reasons such as the destructive impact of the tremors, adverse weather and challenges due to the damaged infrastructure,” Erdogan said, asking for the understanding of Adiyaman residents on Monday.

    I don’t know if the above statements are in reference to any particular video – I’m reading it as a general comment.

    This has been a query on my mind, over the past week. Any item in the news can develop wings and take off in any direction depending on our own biases and what we want the truth to be – not what it really is. There are “conspiracy theorists” and conspiracy theorists.

    We have been called “Conspiracy theorists” on certain topics.
    But we’ve followed the facts and come to the right conclusion.
    – Covid: For nearly 3 years now, we’ve had plenty of proof on this virus, vaccines, masks, lockdowns ….. and they have been reputable sources.
    – Global warming: Years of evidence to prove it is a hoax.
    – Ukraine war: Plenty of history to show that Russia is not the villain.

    What set off the reflection is the whole incident related to the Trains of Wieambilla. There seems to be two groups: those who are pro-Trains and those who are pro-police/government/MSM.

    I am not able to align myself with either group because the available facts are limited. There is a lot of speculation based on some previous information and comments from the Trains. I came across an article that makes me wonder what is going on. Unless there are substantial facts to make a case one way or the other, it seems like a crime thriller novel with drugs, international espionage and mind control.

    Did email reveal Train family as threat to MK Ultra web of control?

    When one “upset” child responded and said “there’s only two”, the drag queen allegedly responded “you’ve upset me” and made the pupil leave the class.

    Some 11-year-olds at the school were taught about oral and anal sex, while another group learned about sex change operations and were shown how skin graft taken from a girl’s arm could be used on an artificial penis, according to reports.

    From MH’s post above about BASF’s woes…

    The year was “dominated by the consequences of the war in Ukraine and in particular by increased raw material and energy prices”, BASF said in a statement on Friday. It paid additional energy costs of €3.2bn (£2.8bn) globally during 2022.

    It’s not the war in Ukraine which cut off Germany’s cheap gas supply, it was Germany’s government which sanctioned the supply for its boss in Babylon. The Babylonians went and blew it up anyway to make sure Germany didn’t backslide.

    and has previously announced a €7.3bn writedown on plants in Russia that have been expropriated.

    Russia did well out of the seizure of foreign assets business. The EU initially claimed that they had seized 350 Billion euros of Russian assets, including Russian Central Bank reserves in Germany, now they can’t find it. Putin has announced that the Russians have seized $170 Billion euros (or US dollars?) in foreign assets. It looks like the Russians came out on top.

    I wonder what happened to the Visa / Mastercard debts in Russia when those credit card companies shut up shop. Do those Russians with credit card debts now have no debt?

    It looks like the West stuffed up quite badly with their sanctions, the Russian MIR card and transaction system will hurt Visa / Mastercard badly when it’s accepted throughout the BRICS nations, i.e., 80% of the world’s population.

    Stiff upper lip and think of Zelensky

    CNBC

    LONDON — Britain’s biggest supermarkets are limiting purchases of certain fruit and vegetables as supply shortages lead to empty shelves.

    Britain’s biggest supermarket chain, Tesco, has limited purchases of tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers to three items per customer. It said the move was due to poor weather conditions overseas and was working with suppliers to “get things back to normal.”

    Asda has further set a three-item limit on lettuce, salad bags, cauliflower and raspberries, while Morrisons is limiting shoppers to two items for cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes and peppers. Germany-based discount supermarkets Aldi and Lidl have also introduced restrictions.

    Groups including the National Farmers’ Union had previously warned that British farmers were struggling with higher energy costs, which is reducing their ability to grow certain fruits and vegetables in heated greenhouses. Other Northern European farmers are facing similar issues; while tomato disease and elevated fuel costs are further challenges.

    I’ve got both a Visa and a Mastercard. I think I’ll run up huge debts on both and then phone the credit card companies and tell them I identify as a Russian.

    That looks like a good plan if they just write-off the debts.
