Typical! No imagination and automatic, authoritarian, knee jerk reaction from the Australian government. 🤬🤡

Australia's communications minister (who's in a bunch of trouble over her crazy, extravagant, personal spending), posted the following about Bondi Beach. Is she human? This is madness.

Yes, it's an AI avatar used in this video, however the information is really good. You might have friends you want to share this with. 🧡✨ Video description: Privacy no longer exists in the traditional banking system. What most people don't realize is that every search you make, every website you visit, and every transaction you perform can be tracked, analyzed, and flagged. Banks now use advanced algorithms to monitor not just your bank account activity but your internet behavior and network connections. In this video, I expose the surveillance infrastructure that connects your bank account to your internet history. I’ll explain how banks are now tracking your financial behavior, search patterns, and even who you associate with, making it easier for them to flag transactions involving precious metals, cryptocurrency, and capital controls. I will break down the three main data streams feeding into the system: 1. Your bank transaction data and patterns 2. Your internet behavior, including searches and site visits 3. Network analysis linking you to others flagged for suspicious activity I’ll show you how seemingly innocent actions, like researching how to buy silver, can raise red flags and trigger suspicious activity reports. Plus, I’ll give you strategies to protect your financial privacy and avoid getting caught in the surveillance web.

The Man Who Planted Trees

Life Power Tip Look around for all that you really can do without. These can be tangible objects, people who take down your energy, activities that are time wasters, or thoughts that leave you feeling disempowered. Now start weeding, even if only a little, day-by-day. Action Spend more time doing what you love to do, not as a cliché, really start doing it. Challenge Plan your day in advance and stick to your plan. Quote The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it. -Michelangelo Clearing List things you have started and never finished, then schedule, or discard! Question What empowering meaning could you attach to failure? Affirmation I choose to feel that I am satisfied with my life. Uplifting Extra I wish I could encourage every couple experiencing a marriage crisis to watch this new video… because the strategies Brad reveals in it are extremely powerful and might be the difference between “unhappily divorced” and “happily ever after”. The best part is that (ad) you can apply the techniques described in his video on your own… without your spouse even being aware that you’re making an effort to save the marriage. So don’t lose hope just because your partner refuses to attend marriage counselling or won’t put in the effort to fix the problems that are slowly eating away at your marriage.

GM I’ll be back a little later. Very humid, hot day and a bit of cleaning up to do after yesterday’s storm. :)

GN 🌙 Our government has blood on its hands. Importing hundreds of thousands of migrants with minimal requirement to assimilate into Australian society. I have no more words. This really hurts. 🙏

Yay! We have some rain and hail plus had loudest thunder I've ever heard and forked lightning right after, almost over our heads. Staying inside now, till it passes. Love this. Heard the girl from next door scream so loud. 😲😂🤣⚡️🌩️⛈️

Excellent video for all Bitcoiners. View to the end.

Very humid day today, got to maybe 39C. Thunder now. Not sure we'll get any rain out of it. Tomorrow is likely similar.

What an amazing young man. 💯👍🧡 So worth watching.

Awesome 30 min. interview about the current situation in Australia. 🇦🇺 Video description: Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Erin Molan about her move from mainstream Australian media to independent political commentary; how speaking openly about Israel after October 7 unexpectedly became controversial; how Australia’s immigration policies are destroying the fabric of the country and its values; how Australia’s climate and energy policies are harming its citizens; the financial pressures pushing media toward sensationalism and stresses integrity in journalism: and much more.

Wow, an interesting study. 😲🧡 Study link: https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674%2825%2901305-4 #neuroscience #brain #psychedelics

Do you think this is the kind of stuff they now can do and do with Bitcoin? I don't understand a lot about how the markets work. My understanding is that where the word 'silver' is used in this video, it could be replaced with 'bitcoin'. Although the video is AI, it's still the best explanation I have yet seen. 🧡

(Link is below) https://www.selfimprovementgift.com/forwardsteps/kiva-forwardsteps/ Life Power Tip Live more consciously. With each action, know what is your intended outcome. Get clear on why you choose take the actions that you do, why you have the habits that you do, why you think the thoughts that you think. If what you are doing is not moving you towards the results that you desire, then it must be moving you away from your intended outcomes. Action Spend at least 20 minutes a day outdoors during daylight hours. Challenge Plan four hours of today and stick to that plan.
