The world continues moving rapidly towards “cashless” societies, shunning physical currency in exchange for an electronic financial system that can literally be turned on and off by governments at will as a means of controlling their people.
When the U.S. and the world got off the gold standard in the early 1970s, the move towards fiat currency dramatically accelerated, as did the accumulation of national debt throughout the world.

The way in which Julian Assange has been persecuted by the US, aided and abetted by the UK, Sweden and more lately Ecuador,and abandoned by his own country, Australia, is disheartening.
In days of yore, we were all mates or cobbers.
The Story of the Judgement of King Solomon is well known. Two women, each claiming to be the mother of an infant, appeal to the King for his Judgement. He rules that the baby should by cut in half and one half given to each woman. One woman cries out and says “ No! “ Give the child to her, only do not cut the child in half! “ King Solomon announced that she was indeed the Mother because the true mother would prefer to lose her child to someone else rather than see it murdered.
The old saying of " don't let the truth get in the way of a good story " is now pretty much the mantra of the Main Stream Media.
Myocarditis and irregular heart beats are now commonplace for healthy people around the world thanks to the COVID-19 “clot shots,” and even pediatrician offices are posting warning signs in their windows about it. At a Virginia doctor’s office, the sign in the window reads, “COVID Vaccination Affects Your Heart – If You Received Doses of Any COVID Shot” We Will Not Clear You “Without Lab Work.”

When I look around and take stock of all of what is wrong in the world today , distrust is always lurking just beneath the surface.
When a government uses scarcity and urgency, what they’re really saying is, “I don’t trust you to make your own decision, so I’m going to coerce you.”
Just look at what has happened with the Vaccine Mandates around the world. With censorship on the internet. With lockdowns and rules and curfews.
As the sun sets on the Australia and culture of my youth, I salute the memories and legacies of over 200 years since the arrival of Captain Arthur Phillip, of a People who are fast disappearing into a sea of tik tok, facebook, twitter, and leftist ideologies.
Our language, our music, and our culture are being swallowed up and devoured by a zealous group of misguided, ill-educated and brainwashed ignoramuses who should have attended the Flysa Institute of Patriotic Studies.

In Australia and across the world, hard working ants have been replaced by a plague of grasshoppers who consume at such a fierce rate of knots that a Canberra parliamentary smorgasboard would disappear faster than a fact in an ABC documentary about climate change.
And a Washington DC or a Wellington Beehive could cut off the food and shut down the bain marie faster than Biden issuing some pipes to use for rather strange reasons.
Let us be honest:
It just doesn't get any crazier than this. The “cancelled” statue of Theodore Roosevelt that was removed from the American Museum of Natural History’s steps should be headed for the scrap heap rather than a presidential library in North Dakota, according to a group of woke academics and artists. Not that it should have been removed in the first place, but lefties don't care about small things like historical facts.
