No!, You're The VOICE! Aussie Referendum Talk!

Disclaimer: I'm a 50yr old gubba [aboriginal word for a white, hence 'government', guy] and I was BORN in Australia ok!

Explanation: There is going to be a federal political referendum on the 1st Nations Indigenous Voice To Parliament in Australia in October 2023.



And I would like to dispell some things about both the Yes  and No campaigns about the Voice To Parliament ...

Firstly here are the online PDF pamphlets for both the Yes and No campaigns sourced from the Australian Electoral Commission ... [CAUTION: It's a PDF file, therefor load at your own risk ok!!!]

Personal Disclosure: I have read over 50+ news article about the Voice To Parliament in the past 3 weeks and I have partaken in a 2 hr long philosophical and political debate about it with up to 10 other Australians, held at the Woden Library here in Canberra, 1 week ago.

I AM A HARD NO VOTER! ... And here is why ...

It is this simple ... YOU ARE THE VOICE ... and through your LOCAL FEDERAL MEMBER, you have a say, aka A VOICE, in the FEDERAL AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENT ALREADY!!!

Quote:What is a federal member?
The term member of parliament generally refers to a member of the House of Representatives, although it can also refer to a senator. To become a member of parliament you need to win a seat in a federal election. There are a number of requirements for enrolling as a candidate in a federal election.

Quote:What does a local member of parliament do?
A Member is expected to be a spokesperson for local interests; an ombudsman and facilitator who deals with concerns about government matters; a law maker; an examiner of the work of the government and how it spends the money it raises from taxation; and a contributor to debates on national issues.

Quote:The Australian Government directly spends around 1.5 times as much on Indigenous people on a per-capita basis, or 1.64 times as much if indirect spending (via transfers to the states and territories) is included (calculation based on IER 2017 supplementary data tables).

Quote:[Verse 1]
We have the chance to turn the pages over
We can write what we want to write
We gotta make ends meet before we get much older

[Pre-Chorus]
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

[Chorus]
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah

[Verse 2]
This time, we know we all can stand together
With the power to be powerful
Believing we can make it better

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, we're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son, oh
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

[Chorus]
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, we're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

[Chorus]
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear, oh, woah

You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah

I was very surprised to hear a friend report to me that she was concerned about the obvious effects of "global warming" that is so prevalent now.

My neighbor told me that we were headed for serious trouble because of global warming and that no one can deny it now that it is happening all over the world.

Both of these friends are as unpolitical as they come. I consider myself a centrist, but both of them make me look like a radical in comparison. So their comments had nothing to do with politics. They were speaking of their concerns about what is right in front of our faces.

Our planet is going through some changes. I do not for one second believe that our lack of stewardship to our planet, is the sole cause for what we are witnessing. I am pleased that people are starting to pay attention.

Possible day of The Rapture, Chaos, Recall Of The US Dollar, Fake Aliens, Day Of Destruction?

We don't have long to wait..... As in every case, prepare accordingly. 


Tish'a B'Av for Hebrew Year 5783 begins at sundown on Wednesday, 26 July 2023 and ends at nightfall on Thursday, 27 July 2023

Why July 26th & 27th 9th of Av is Such a High Watch Time!

This is quite good IMO .

I'm sure we have all experienced the broken down Mcflurry machine, or the ice cream machine that's "out of order," after craving one all day, only to be let down by the nice people at M'c-e-Deez or wherever. We have all seen the countless news articles and videos about all the people losing their minds, being denied some simple pleasure in life, like a damn ice cream cone when they want one. Shootings, killings, beatings, destruction of property and loss of all order and control. Well, I can pretty much see what the future will hold, as we drift ever closer to the robots and AI and machines replacing these jobs soon; and many others, as we are all forced into this new dawn of "Intelligence." 

Now, imagine, if you will, a time and a place when you go to your favorite little hotspot, to get whatever it is you are seeking; such as a Mcflurry, or whatever little treat you desire. Only instead of some beating heart with a soul there to do this job, you have a robot serving your "needs." Now, imagine, with everything we've been seeing going on in the world around us, this robot "breaks down." 

It's hard not to see the destruction when it's not just one person who cant get an ice cream. Now it's er'body not getting what they want...



I'll tell you all, and you all pretty well know it too, and we can call this prophecy, because it's a sure bet, but I see people destroying these "robots" and machines that will soon take over these jobs. One can imagine how expensive these machines will be. "Employers" will take more care of these robots than they ever did us silly humans. These corporations will not care when their patrons tear each other to shreds over some ice cream, but damage one of these machines and it'll be the electric chair for that person. This, of course will enrage people further, and we will have this snowball affect of anger and frustration that's already growing across the globe. This will sink society deeper into detachment from the people around them. The human to human interaction will fade away as people will desire these "machines" to human synergy. 

The introduction of the "AI/robot+human relationships" that will replace dating, marriage etc is coming soon. This is also obvious, but what happens when these AI robot loverboy or girl (or insert any gender here) "breaks down?" Or worse, goes "rogue."

I don't know about you all, but my cell phone doesn't even work the way it should a lot of the time. We all know these machines are going to be mass-produced and made just as "cost effective" as the rest of this crap tech we have now is made. And when all these robots and what-nots break down we will see our "SkyNet" style future a lot of us have been talking about. Only it wont be as cool. It'll be just a bunch of people being killed by "faulty equipment," er, I mean "AI-robot-lovers" they purchased at their local wal-mart. 

This is our future, Rogue-Nation. And yes, I'm being about 80% silly here, and twenty percent dead on. To the point Im calling this a "prophecy" because i can see this clearly, and it will happen when machines replace humans in these ways. The extent of violence people are going to over the simplest of things now, it's not too hard to see what will happen when things get even more overly complicated.


Feel free to add any humor or perspective you might have to this. Or tell me I'm a silly goof. Either way, this is the future our children will most definitely see.
Thanks for reading. Hope you got at least a little kick outta this.....even though "the rise of the machines" is coming soon...

This is what the EU and NATO want, to destroy the Ukraine and destroy the culture. Europe has woken up to what is going on but I think people in the USA still belive the BS
The EU will fill Ukraine with muslims and 3th world dross, The Ukraine culture is gone

What could possibly go wrong in the land down under...

Quote:Last year, Monash University scientists created the "DishBrain" – a semi-biological computer chip with some 800,000 human and mouse brain cells lab-grown into its electrodes. Demonstrating something like sentience, it learned to play Pong within five minutes.

The micro-electrode array at the heart of the DishBrain was capable both of reading activity in the brain cells, and stimulating them with electrical signals, so the research team set up a version of Pong where the brain cells were fed a moving electrical stimulus to represent which side of the "screen" the ball was on, and how far away from the paddle it was. They allowed the brain cells to act on the paddle, moving it left and right.

Then they set up a very basic-reward system, using the fact that small clusters of brain cells tend to try to minimize unpredictability in their environment. So if the paddle hit the ball, the cells would receive a nice, predictable stimulus. But if it missed, the cells would get four seconds of totally unpredictable stimulation.

It was the first time lab-grown brain cells had been used this way, being given not only a way to sense the world, but to act on it, and the results were impressive.

Impressive enough that the research – undertaken in partnership with Melbourne startup Cortical Labs – has now attracted a US$407,000 grant from Australia's National Intelligence and Security Discovery Research Grants program.


These programmable chips, fusing biological computing with artificial intelligence, "in future may eventually surpass the performance of existing, purely silicon-based hardware," says project lead, Associate Professor Adeel Razi.

"The outcomes of such research would have significant implications across multiple fields such as, but not limited to, planning, robotics, advanced automation, brain-machine interfaces, and drug discovery, giving Australia a significant strategic advantage," he said.

The DishBrain's advanced learning capabilities, in other words, could underpin a new generation of machine learning, particularly when embodied in autonomous vehicles, drones, and robots. It could give them, says Razi, "a new type of machine intelligence that is able to learn throughout its lifetime."


The technology promises machines that can continue to learn new abilities without compromising old ones, that can adapt well to change, and that can map old knowledge onto new situations – while continually self-optimizing their use of computing power, memory and energy.

"We will be using this grant," says Razi, "to develop better AI machines that replicate the learning capacity of these biological neural networks. This will help us scale up the hardware and methods capacity to the point where they become a viable replacement for in silicon computing."

Estonia ramp salvaged
Published 22 July 2023 at 08.47
INSIDE. Since Wednesday, the Swedish Accident Investigation Board and its Finnish and Estonian sister authorities have been at the wreck of the MS Estonia to salvage the ship's controversial boarding ramp. It is the ramp that came loose, swam away a bit and settled over a suspected blast in the bow after the Estonia was filmed by journalist Henrik Evertsson in 2019.

The railings of the then closed boarding ramp were found shortly after the accident - outside the wreck.

Henrik Evertsson's 2019 photos revealed another major damage - in the ship's side of the Estonia - which, after being broadcast in the 2020 TV documentary 'Estonia - the find that changes everything', prompted the governments of Estonia, Sweden and Finland to resume investigations of the wreck.

The idea was to investigate the new hole in the side of the ship revealed by Mr Evertsson and to investigate a damage in the bow - at the bow ramp - documented by German journalist Jutta Rabe and American contractor Greg Bemis back in 2000.

Several metallurgical analyses of the damage in the bow from 2000 showed that it bore traces of explosives, and in 2021 an analysis of the Estonia's bow visor, which was salvaged in 1994, showed that this part of the ship had also been subjected to blasting or other intense heating.

However, once the authorities dived down to the Estonia in 2021, it turned out that the ferry's bow ramp had come loose at some point after journalist Henrik Evertsson filmed the ramp in its upright position in 2019.

The ramp had not only fallen off the ship but also swam away a bit - it is unclear how - and settled just above the hole in the ship's bow discovered by Greg Bemis and Jutta Rabe in 2000, but omitted by the international investigators in the final report released by the Swedish Accident Investigation Board and its Estonian and Finnish sister authorities in 1997. The authorities were therefore unable to access the area when they investigated themselves in the new dives in 2021.

"Accessing that area for detailed investigation would require a camera to come between the ramp and the affected area," Jörgen Zachau, accident investigator and head of investigation at the Swedish Accident Investigation Board, wrote in an email to Fria Tider at the time.

In 2022, Sweden, Finland and Estonia contributed €2.5 million to finance the recovery of the ramp.

Among other things, the authorities wanted to examine previously photographed damage to the ramp in the form of a triangle that was probably formed when the ramp hit the forecourt deck before it - as claimed in the final report - fell off at the surface.

- This strengthens the hypothesis of how the sinking occurred, according to TT.

But there is also damage that points in another direction. For example, the front part of the ramp's left-hand railing has been found outside the ship, even when the ramp was closed. SKL has stated that these are the Estonia's railings, but has not attempted to explain how they could be outside the ship when they were detached from a closed bow ramp.

Several critics, including former MP Lars Ångström (MP), have argued that the railings show that someone opened the ramp after the sinking of the Estonia, entered the car deck (which is behind the ramp), and then closed the ramp behind them. According to him, the railings must have been cut away because they were bent and prevented the ramp from closing.

Neither the Armed Forces, the Accident Commission nor SKL have attempted to explain how the railings could have ended up outside the ship when the ramp was closed.

However, an explanation has been provided by the YouTube account Estoniaveckan, which is officially run by a socially engaged immigrant but in practice tends to launch various theories that are as flattering as possible to Swedish authorities. According to Estoniaveckan, the ramp may have opened and released the railings on the bottom when the ship sank, and the ramp then closed by itself when the ship hit the bottom.

In other words, the 10-tonne ramp, built in 1980, is a lively and mobile 43-year-old. It remains to be seen whether this part of the ship, which seems to be constantly ready to move up, down and sideways under its own power, will still be there when the authorities salvage it this week. Fria Tider is following the operation and will report back.

I like this aircraft and particularly the PT-6 engine power source.  I am surprised the Airfarce considered a tail dragger and a prop plane but this bird has a good pay load and long range when considered against other small A.F. aircraft not to mention the cost per hour to operate the aircraft. Stand off missiles and good electronics can get the job done in most active 3D world engagements IMO.
