@RM_19844 It's 4 people with torches shining them onto the cloud based ffs

Northern Territory police have received multiple UFO reports after strange lights appeared over Palmerston, with one detective refusing to confirm or deny alien activity. "Can neither confirm or deny..." 👽

@MichaMWitkowsk1 @Willfitinpocket @eevblog Nah but I don't blame you for saying it

@Willfitinpocket @eevblog @H2O33 Let me guess AI too...

Mark Zuckerberg spent $80BN on the Metaverse. Completely wasted on legless cartoon avatars. The entire NASA budget is $24BN.

@eevblog Thank you, I looked into it and you guys are right, another factor debunked.

@H2O33 The moons surface has a low albedo compared to the earth which the camera exposure is set for. If you set it for a bright moon then the earth would be completely overexposed. Photography 101.

@eevblog Shouldn't the portion of the moon we see here be bathed in sunlight?

@H2O33 There is no problem.

@eevblog No issues with the lighting aspect?

@TopherField Correct in my opinion, are you aware of @BrianJBerletic ? He has immense insight into the subject.

The best lens I can find through which to view and understand Trump's actions is the lens of energy leverage. I'm not saying this is the RIGHT lens, but it is the one that gives me the most cohesive picture of what's going on. If this is all about restoring the petro-dollar and reestablishing the US as an energy super-power, then the chaos makes sense. The bellicose language, the apparent backflips, the market whiplash... it's all calculated to keep the markets unstable and hurt the EU to a lesser degree, but China to a larger degree. China have lost their access to Venezuelan oil, and to a lesser degree to Iranian oil, at a time when their economy was already hurting due to gross misallocation of capital in their property market, and a fragile banking system as a result of being over leveraged into worthless assets. If hurting China is the aim then the chaos and confusion is an asset not a liability. The fact that the EU are also hurting, and therefore signing energy deals with the US, is just a fringe benefit. Trump's priority is not to open the strait and normalise markets, its to keep the rest of the world off kilter so he has leverage with US energy deals. If I'm right then this doesn't end when a given objective is achieved in Iran, it ends when a given objective is achieved in China, or perhaps when a given level of energy dominance for the US is established. Not sure if I'm right, but food for thought.

@JG_CSTT Shit

@H2O33 he was exposed as a liar, a fraud and a social engineer so he withdrew from social media and sent a bunch of anonymous accounts to troll me. patreon.com/posts/wheres-c…

Trump is treading into uncharted waters as the war in Iran rages on. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@anasalhajji Didn't work today!?!

@LibertyCappy Ya might say it's a topic here

Is this the real Australia?

@AussieBotStudio @Lanceduke127729 Umm...... Israel is the deep state proxy

@Lanceduke127729 What part of deep state proxy don’t you understand?

Weak as piss. Trump just proved Iran was nothing but a deep state proxy the whole time. These corrupt leaders have been profiting off every oil spike they stirred up for decades and they could have ended this mess years ago. Now Albo refuses to send a single ship while Aussies get hammered at the pump. Classic buck-passing. Time to drain our own swamp. #AussieFirst 🇦🇺

@saifedean @ComicDaveSmith Let's all pray for this🙏

@ComicDaveSmith This isn't TV; there are no do-overs. IRGC isn't gonna let off if he backs down. They'll likely not open Hormuz until the removal of all regional US bases, lifting sanctions, and reparations. They won't just accept defeating Trump, they need to make it explicit & obvious

The best we can hope for at this point, which is possible, is that Trump just stops. Call it quits and pretend it was something other than the disaster this is.

@craigkellyAFEE Time we joined BRICS me thinks

I forgot to mention, that oil originally came from Russia, was refined in India and shipped on a Chinese flagged vessel. Think about it, due to the insane pursuit of Net Zero, we surrendered our fuel and food security, and now are reliant on Russia, India & China.

A simple heuristic that allows you to beat the Globalists. SO SIMPLE - never forget it! x.com/FatEmperor/sta…

@JuliusRuechel Very well said, couldn't be more evident at the moment.

According to Mattias Desmet’s theory of mass formation (discussed during Covid), roughly 30% of the population does not fall under the spell or "hypnotized" state of mass hysteria. Sounds tidy, right? But since Covid, the "dissident" community from the Covid era has fractured into opposing camps as new mass hysterias have infected society. If some people are naturally more resistant to mass hysteria, it would always be the same people who manage to steer clear. All the same dissidents would reappear, time and time again, as new mass hysterias emerge. And all the same people who got caught up in it last time would get caught up in the next one. But clearly that has not been the case. Immunity to one bout of mass hysteria is no guarantee that you will have immunity to the next. So, resistance to mass hysteria obviously does not come from some genetic predisposition, nor is there some kind of lifetime psychological immunity. It changes from issue to issue. Most likely, personal circumstances play the biggest role. In some cases, being away from the crowd gives people time to reflect. Or personal familiarity with an issue or the people involved might create the disconnect needed to recognize the mass hysteria. Or the luck of seeing some comment or post that makes you think about something differently than what the crowd is discussing. Or how many in your close tribe fall prey and sweep you along. And some people simply have a habit of verifying original sources and thus are in the habit of testing and retesting their own ideas -- it's not that they are immune to propaganda and conspiracy theories and mass hysteria, but rather that their habits provide a mechanism to lead them back out. But, considering how the Covid dissident community has fractured since then, this category of people seems to be vanishingly small indeed. It's also worth noting that mass hysteria can arise from different places (i.e. government propaganda vs crowd-sourced), which also either sets you up to be more or less likely to fall prey depending on your psychological state. For example, if, due to a prior experience, you have completely lost your trust in government institutions or legacy media, that would make you more resistant to official propaganda. But if you have high trust in those institutions because you've never had a transformative run-in with how flawed they are, you're likely more easily misled by govt propaganda. By contrast, the inverse is also true. If you don't trust govt institutions, that might actually make you more susceptible to falling into some crowd-sourced conspiracy theory because you extend trust to "dissident voices" that provide alternate explanations for how the world works -- after all, if you don't trust the govt and the media, you're probably already out there looking for alternate explanations to make sense of the world. Whereas those who have a high degree of trust in government and media institutions are likely relatively immune to crowd-sourced conspiracy theories because they're not out there looking for alternate ways of making sense of the world and aren't likely to extend their trust to someone who isn't some media-approved institutional expert. Furthermore, if someone you trusted as a reliable source of information during the last mass hysteria falls for the next one, your trust in them might easily lead you down the same rabbit hole. In short, while there may be some validity to Desmet's idea that 30% are immune, it's a little more complicated than that. Clearly it's not the same 30% every time. Not even close. If anything, if you're busy congratulating yourself that you managed to avoid getting caught up in the mass hypnosis the last time, you may actually be overconfident in your ability to resist the next one and thus not have enough self-doubt to question your most strongly held opinions, which might just turn out to be wrong this time. That's why, no matter how confident you are in what you believe, the only safeguard to prevent you from deceiving yourself is the habit of continually putting all your beliefs to the test, verifying original sources, and giving consideration to what those you don't agree with are saying. As Richard Feynman so famously said: 👇

@senatorbabet Truth hurts sometimes

Shots fired.

@TopherField WTF happened to you? The voice of reason no more.

It's not the end of the world, just the end of the world as we know it. Tell the doom-mongers to shut up. WWIII is cancelled until further notice, because China already lost. The ripple effects will be with us for decades as BRICS is neutered, Russia goes back to trading oil in USA, the shadow oil trade is no more, and China have to sit down and take stock.

@NicFromOz @TopherField US Navy is nowhere near the place

@TopherField They're under USA military protection, Trump got the insurance, he was never going to let us collapse

WWIII has been cancelled until further notice! Yes really, it's time to put your 'end of the world' decorations away and save them for another day.

@TopherField You may as well have just said "short term pain, long term gain". You seem to get most things right but not the current skirmish.
