I’m thinking 2022 was more 2007, and the big economic shocks are still to come.
2022 saw US tech stocks and crypto get wrecked.
2023 will see the main share indexes tumble further.
House prices will continue to decline everywhere that the cost of credit rises.
The US economy will likely fall into recession at some time in 2023, however Fed will be unable to lower rates due to inflation remaining high as US government spending shows no signs of reducing – ref 1.7 Trillion omnibus bill.
Global events:
Ukraine war to continue with Russia settling for a war of attrition as the US continues to borrow to fund their proxy war.
… while Uiatu “Joan” Taufua, the mother of Broncos forward Payne Haas and sole occupant of the other vehicle, was taken to hospital in a stable condition with an arm injury.
The black Mercedes, allegedly driven by Ms Taufua caught fire, with the 46-year-old Bonogin woman freed from her car by police.…
Only minutes before the crash, police allege the black Mercedes involved in the collision was observed driving dangerously along Bonogin Rd near Calanthe Lane.
The mother of rising NRL star Payne Haas has walked free from court despite pleading guilty to a vicious road rage attack against a delivery driver.
Joan Taufua who is the mother of Broncos player Payne Haas, one of the most recent additions to the NSW Origin team, faced the Southport Magistrates Court on Wednesday, charged with assault occasioning bodily harm, while in the company of others.
The mother of 10, who has lately been making headlines for all the wrong reasons, appeared in court for sentencing, after she assaulted delivery driver Keith Tyler for cutting her off in a Gold Coast McDonald’s drive-thru.

And from September
The mother of Brisbane Broncos prop Payne Haas will be behind bars for a month after assaulting security staff at the Star Casino.
Uiatu “Joan” Taufua, 46, pleaded guilty in Southport Magistrates Court on Thursday to punching and spitting at security staff at the casino in May…
Speaking of letters to the editor, yours truly got some ink in the Herald Sun today – with the punch-line edited off, of course.
Here’s what was printed…
My sincere thanks go to Rita Panahi (“Covid censors exposed”, 30/12) for cracking the dam that has been blocking the truth about Covid.
It has been incredibly frustrating for those of us with scientific and research training, and who attempt to share truth with our fellow Australians via newspapers, to have been called “crazy conspiracy theorists” and locked out – in my case for two years.
The fact is nobody needed to die of/with Covid. Nobody needed to be coerced into injections with known side effects. There was no need for lockdowns or masks or distancing or hysteria.
There were existing well-known safe drugs that cured Covid. Our own Professor Thomas Borody told us this in 2020. Our governments, in lockstep with the globalist controlled WHO, blocked their use.
Those who think there’s no such thing as a globalist cabal, despite them meeting in plain sight in Davos as the WEF, need to change their thinking quick-smart.
And here’s the part left off…
They control the UN and the WHO, and the whole Covid debacle was planned and implemented by them.
If you don’t want your children and grandchildren living as serfs under a global dictatorship, if they’re allowed to live at all, you must take action now by telling your ALP-LNP-Green UNiparty MP that you know what they were part of – and never electing any of them in future.
There is never much to do on NYE, so I rate the acts at the WOMADELAIDE festival 2023, using my WOK-E-Rating system.
Seems ‘climate‘ is down this year.
The ideal performing act blurb, taking from the band descriptions, is
” A collective of mixed heritage collaborators exploring problem solving, through self empowerment, by exposing the status quo political gender.Together, we/us/them spotlight the minority voices using authenticity and those who resisted and escaped slavery while focusing on women’s rights, racism, inequality and Africa’s exploitation at the hands of colonial powers. In summary we/us/them heal and reach across differences.”
“Tom’s always felt like an outsider in Hollywood,” said the source. “He’s extremely dedicated to his craft and has an old-fashioned work ethic and doesn’t have time for the rest of the B.S.”
We are constantly reminded to Trust the Science and the Researchers.

Troubled years: Payne Haas’ mum’s licence suspended, just weeks out of jail
Payne Haas’ mum was just weeks out of jail and allegedly driving on a suspended licence when she was involved in a horrific crash that killed three members of the same family.
On 23 Aug 22, Murat Dizdar from Dept Education (DOE) was grilled over the ‘NAPLAN cheating scandal’ at Walgett, NSW.
A boy who was unable to read had a score of 34/36.
He was related to Anne Dennis – the Aboriginal Education Consultative Group president & the NSW Aboriginal Land Council chair for the North West region.
Nathaniel Train was trying to get NAPLAN tests observed to prevent cheating. It required a staff vote to do this.
It’s uncertain from the documentation whether this occurred.
The NAPLAN cheating scandal is much bigger than Walgett.
It is a HUGE scandal & mainstream media have been quiet about it. Could this be corruption from high places!?
It would seem that educating Australian Indigenous children is secondary to making (a lot of) money. This is (part of) what Nathaniel Train was trying to expose.

I had planned to start off my Open Thread postings, for this year, with some light stuff.
But as I was not here when the death of Pope Benedict was announced yesterday, around 10 pm our time, (he passed away 9.34 am, 31 December 2022, Rome time) a brief comment on this.
Benedict was 95 and ill. So the news should not be a surprise. He was a faithful shepherd of the Church – not perfect, as none of us are – and now gone to his eternal rest. I had hoped he would be here for at least a few days of the New Year 2023.
As long as he was on this earth, residing there in the Vatican, Benedict was a reminder to the NWO-WEF globalist, marxist, modernist cabal in the Church that they are on the wrong path.
His death marks the end of an era in the Catholic Church. Eternal rest to the soul of Joseph Ratzinger / Pope Benedict XVI.
Sunday, Jan. 1, 2023 is the 250th anniversary of this famous hymn written by Rev. John Newton, an Anglican priest and former captain of slave ships, who later in life joined William Wilberforce and worked to abolish slavery in the British Empire.
Newton wrote “Amazing Grace” for his Anglican congregation — St. Peter and Paul Church in Olney Buckinghamshire, England — to sing on New Year’s Day, Jan. 1, 1773.
Oooh. 1st!
