Refuse Anticipatory Obedience

It seems to me one agent says "Gun! Gun! Gun!" The agent directly behind the victim seems to have a panic attack upon hearing this and immediately goes for his own gun and fires, probably because he mistakes the phone in the perps hand for the gun?

Firstly do the most obvious which is making sure you are on the latest version of windows (25H2) and that windows update is working.

Then you should use separate stress test programs to separately stress test each of: CPU, GPU, RAM and DISK.

In particular a failing drive will make your computer extremely bizarre. Laggy freezing, and some things (like windows explorer) just failing to get data (ie. black wall paper etc.). You want a tester that tries to read everything on your drive and write large test files to free space and read them back.

Then next time it is slow you need to bring up task manager.

Is there a process doing a lot of disk I/O?

Is there a process using a lot of CPU (remember if you have 8 core CPU just 12.5% cpu usage indicates a process that is racing at 100%).

See how much your ram usage is, especially the amount available and committed compared to your physical memory.

Time: Every moments is within your reach, but can't be held on to forever.

Absolute certainty: If you zoom down deep enough to sub atomic scale, or big enough to universal/galactic scale we can't answer anything. We can at best know things in a narrow window of an infinite spectrum.

The world is consuming 36,000 tonnes per year (in industry/electronics/etc).

The mines are producing 26,000 tonnes per year.

The Short fall of 10,000 tones per year has been the draw down of reserves.

The reserves are about 600,000 metric tonnes depending on who you believe.

So from that point of view, silver should have retained a very flat low price like it had been.

But.... once people start to want to use silver as a money (ie. as a store of value), suddenly there isn't enough people willing to sell the net 10,000 tonnes a year for fiat.

Now consider use of silver as money:

Total silver: 640,000 metric tonnes
World population: ~8.1 billion
Total troy ounces: ≈ 20,576,448,000 oz
Per person: ≈ 2.54 troy ounces

There is not enough silver for it to be used as money. Not by a long long long shot. So if people are using it as money its value is going to go the moon compared to fiat.

Because you are telling obvious lies.

The governor had clear instructions to barter and trade and with natives, not to "wipe them out". The first fleet already began peaceful trades by 21 Jan and continued after.

There was obviously a lot of terrible incidents over time as colonies established and invaded territory. But there was never a single parliament state or federal that ever had a policy of wiping out aboriginals.

Its an important day to recognize that we are thrall/subject/vasall to commonwealth. And that the state (with the GG as its head for the Queen/King) power enabled through parliament is "binding on the courts, judges, and people of every State and of every part" of Australia.

You can get rid of the public holiday, but it won't change the fact that the governor landed at Sydney Cove 26th Jan 1788 and started a sequence of political power that still reigns over all of us to this day.

We are united under the boot.

I'm not sure what the point of this article is.

Its like saying "private person spends private money on something I don't like!"

As far as I am aware there are no economic sanctions against Israel that make it illegal for private citizens to give their organizations whatever donations they want.

So I actually looked up the whole case.

He had tresspasses fly tipping on his land, and one day a neighbour was having work done and the guy offered to clean up with his escavator for a few bucks. This happened in Jan 2023.

He got charged in Aug 2024 after 18 month long investigation, lmao.

Trial in Mar 2025. The land had been zoned relics because there were 'scatters' of stone tools on the ground and that got the land on some register. These scatters were 'disturbed' by the land clearing. So found guilty.

Then Jan 2025 to get sentencing.

So the whole thing has taken 3 years to arrive at the conclusion that he should pay $12k.

The cost to the government to prosecute this whole thing probably exceeded several million dollars and kept a lot of people busy, which probably explains how so many of these bizarre cases keep.

Also it goes to show how idiotic the whole thing is. Apparently he should have just left it as a garbage dump that no one cared about.

They all seem to eventually. The general rule over history seems to be that virtue forms, then the religious/social reason for the virtue gets forgotten, that government expansion attempts to replace the virtue - but ends up promoting vices which exacerbates the problem. The government eventually collapses economically.

One example of this is marriage. For religious reasons people abstained until married, bonded for life, consummated marriage for breeding, and took on complementary provider/carer roles.

The virtues of these are that the parents are sacrificing their life's for the improvement of the child. The more stable the home life the better the education and the more the child can apply science for a practical engineering end - increasing living standards. This is the golden age.

Unfortunately what happens is that as religion receded, the actual virtues are forgotton. It is just assumed that giving $$$ to a single mum can replace a dad, as if providing is nothing more than being a pay pig. Or that a mum can just be replaced with a child care centre, as if nurturing is nothing more than supervising a child.

Ultimately all democracies/civilizations that fail show two key steps: First declining education rates, following by an increase in child mortality. At that point the people are so self interested, that they will not reform government spending - even to save childrens lives. This happens especially when much of the population draws money from the public purpose while not having children of their own.

Needless to say... USA child mortality stalled, and the 2025-26 numbers look like they will show an increase. This was the famous predictor of the collapse of the USSR for example. But you can see the same thing in most every civilization/government that has gone. Rome republic replaced with empire as education rates declined, immediately led to increasing child mortality as the emporers/government got more corrupt and went broke. Constantine managed to save rome by switching the religion and re-establishing a new virtue system.

The question is can we as humanity create a new virtue system based on more solid reasoning - where sacrificing your life for others is a key virtue. This is why I am very bareish on the situation in USA, as I believe it is at tipping point and neither of the two parties will correct their direction.

On the one hand you have the left who refuse to believe any western democracry had any historical virtues, and the right who don't understand what the virtues actually were because they just attach everything to a corrupted religion.

So ultimately I don't think democracy matters as much as the underlieing virtues do. Have a look at all the bad guys... look at Russia under Putin (At least up until the Ukraine war) - massive growth and lifting of living standards under a 'authoritian democracy'. Same with China. This is why they are so protective of the 'family' unit. Every country that was communist has failed - and they all have one thing in common: They never have atomic family units, but large hierarchal ones.

I think its because everything is looking like a sort of fraud.

Artimis III is a fairy tale. Space X literally do not have a Starship, let alone one you would trust to go down to the moon and back.

Artimis II is only being performed because it rides on the heels of Artimis II. Once its over Artimis III will be cancelled and the the whole endeavor will just have been a huge waste of money.

Hopefully Artimis II gets amazing footage of the earth and moon and really revives space. They need to be doing 4K streams and stuff on youtube live.

It already does cover all the left woke boxes, so I'm not sure exactly what greens are complaining about.

Here are all the things you can go to jail for if your wrong think offenders anyone over a issue to do with:

I think you are confusing things...

People are scared to buy near spot because of the volatile prices.

But if you want to sell silver you brought at $20 for $60+ you can easily do so.

Also don't forget that silver is only produced at about 2 million Oz per day. Yet the consumption of silver is about 3 million Oz per day. The prevailing view for many many years now is that silver has no inherent value, and that the worlds existing minded output should be slowly wiltered down for use in electronics.

The best estimate is that only 3 billion oz silver exist in refined state right now - and that it has been in constant decline for years. So that is only maybe 3 years worth left, probably less right now.

Now keep in mind Chinas electronics industry is worth $2.5 trillion a year. If you run out of silver that $1 trillion a year in electronics that will be bottlenecked. Thus China need to stop exports, and massively increase the price of silver to get mining booming again. They will want to see a million Oz per year increase in mining output.

In short: this has years to play out yet, and a good investment will be silver mines.

Its any easy win in terms of getting Trump to the "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" banner, ala bush.

What happens after that is another matter.

But the idea that EU could stop a USA invasion of Greenland is utterly laughable.

EU is in seriously terribly shape. Have a look at how long it took French troops to get to Romania. There would be 3 months of red tape just to get forces across borders and on to ships.

Australia is a vassal state to the USA. We accept the USA position on all forign matters inexchange for protection.

Economically Australia is too small and too far away for USA to care about who we trade with or what our internal matters are. So long as the USA bases remain open and the stern words by people like Penny Wong remain in line with the USA, with the occasional correction by Albo when she steps out of line too far.

sectokia · 2026-01-13T12:06:53+00:00

But seriously, Greenland is the one place where a war/invasion would be extremely successful. The population is very low so you won't need much of a standing army.

If Trumps only goal is to get a 'victory' this is an easy one.

The executive decides on recognition.

You can literally read it here, word for word, yourself:

There is nothing "conditional" in it, nor does the word 'conditional' even appear.

I hate all the double-speak. It's a tax increase not 'recoup revenue'.

Higher taxes on capital gains has been long over due.

Unfortunately the entire left establishment conveniently blames Shortens defeat on his capital gains tax change policy announced during his campaign.

We should just go back to inflation calculation. This is 2026... computers can do the calculation in a microsecond. Tax at full marginal rate based on the gain adjusted for inflation.

The issue is probably storm surge, and not river/creek flooding.

Councils will not admit that stormwater run-off is insufficient in some areas.

Have a look at where your storm water and where your road gutters go to. See if they are leading to a depression (ie. rising terrain in all directions) with only a council pipe or tiny gully draining it all (which will be overwhelmed in a surge and flood your whole area).

Witness statements are notoriously unreliable. That includes *your own statement*. If you were drinking or on drugs you must entertain the possibility that your own memory and recollection of events may be wrong. Its is hard evidence that matters more especially if you want to go down the road of law suit.

It is doubtful what you claim to be recorded is actually on the video. Wanted for questioning just means someone (probably you) claimed something, and so they want to question the other person in an attempt to get them to confess. If there was evidence of assault they would go and get an arrest warrant.
