Rising sovereign debt is putting increasing pressure on global bond markets. When yields climb high enough, something eventually breaks, housing, banks or government balance sheets and policymakers typically respond with liquidity injections to stabilise the system. In previous cycles that liquidity often flowed into equities and gold, but today there is a new outlet: Bitcoin. With spot ETFs from institutions like BlackRock, Fidelity Investments, and potentially Morgan Stanley, large pools of capital can now allocate to Bitcoin as easily as buying a stock. Because Bitcoin’s supply is fixed and ETFs lock coins into custody, new liquidity entering the financial system can rapidly translate into price pressure. In that sense, Bitcoin is increasingly behaving like a pressure valve for the sovereign debt system when the bond market strains and liquidity returns, some of that capital escapes traditional assets and flows into Bitcoin.

Houses aren’t skyrocketing in value, the dollar is sinking fast. We’re calling it ‘growth’ while young Australians drown in a currency that buys less every year. Our children deserve better. Part of the responsibility that goes along with being an adult and a parent is the thoughtful, protective custodianship of the future. This is anything but that.

My local council is installing a CEO on almost as much as our state premier. The grift is on in South Australia 🇦🇺 It’s a public sector free for all. $405,000 for a council CEO. Rushed appointment. Paid for by struggling ratepayers. While families are cutting groceries and power usage, the public sector keeps feathering its own nest. This is exactly why trust in government has collapsed.

Proud South Australian History 🇦🇺 The foundation stone for Holy Trinity, the oldest surviving church in South Australia, was laid by Governor Hindmarsh on the 26th Jan 1838. The Colonial Chaplain, Revd Charles Howard, had conducted his first service nearby under a sail he dragged from Holdfast Bay in a handcart. Six months later, the first baptism was conducted in the church – much to the surprise of the workmen who were still putting the roof on. Holy Trinity was portrayed by S T Gill in 1845 - the watercolour is in the Art Gallery of South Australia Collection. (Credit Keith Conlon)

“Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭28‬-‭29‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The Entry of Queen Caroline into Jerusalem (1814) In 1814, Queen Caroline of Brunswick, the estranged wife of Britain’s Prince Regent (later King George IV), travelled through the Eastern Mediterranean and made a dramatic visit to Jerusalem. Her journey reflected a wider European fascination with the Holy Land during the decline of the Ottoman Empire, when many Western travellers viewed Jerusalem through romantic and biblical imagination rather than everyday reality. Caroline was accompanied and influenced by figures such as Lady Hester Stanhope, an independent and unconventional British aristocrat who later lived permanently in the Middle East, and by religious ideas circulating in Britain at the time that believed the restoration of Jerusalem and the Jewish people would play a role in the Second Coming of Christ. One influential voice was Richard Brothers, a religious visionary who claimed divine authority and wrote about a future “New Jerusalem.” Although his ideas were considered extreme in his lifetime, similar restorationist beliefs later influenced British religious thinking and policy in the region. Caroline’s symbolic entry into Jerusalem — riding on a donkey in imitation of Christ — illustrates how faith, imagination, politics, and personal ambition intertwined in early nineteenth-century European encounters with the Holy Land. This period helped shape how Western nations later viewed Jerusalem and the wider Middle East. Interesting period of history.

Hero.

This is wrong. Regional Australians or those who are moving there are losing the very thing they moved for; cleanliness, open spaces, lifestyle and affordability. Blocks in Ballarat now average just 454m² what Melbourne had five years ago. This isn’t organic growth. It’s policy failure and unchecked foreign demand distorting our housing market. Australians shouldn’t be competing with overseas capital for their first home. @OneNationAus will restrict foreign ownership of Australian housing so Australians come first.

I’ve been a gun owner for 20+ years without incident. My community should not be the target for overzealous government agents. Inappropriate immigration and ineffective policing is very obviously our problem in Australia 🇦🇺 Vote accordingly.

233 years ago, the leaders of the French Revolution who now made up the country's National Convention were in the middle of a continuous 36-hour session debating perhaps their most important question yet: what to do with King Louis XVI. He'd been captured in the summer of 1791 while trying to flee the country and had been imprisoned ever since. Following a six-week trial, he was found guilty of high treason and other crimes on January 15, 1793, with 693 deputies voting yes and not a single one voting no. The next day, as the National Convention spent a day and a half deciding whether to execute him or not, the vote was much closer. In the end, Louis XVI was condemned to death by a majority of just one vote, a tally that would have been an even deadlock had his own cousin not voted for his execution. Five days later, on January 21, that execution took place as Louis XVI was beheaded by guillotine at the Place de la Révolution.

Licensed firearms owners are not the problem in Australia 🇦🇺 Vote @OneNationAus if you agree.

This book shows how currency manipulation and political monetary control always produce the same pathologies, regardless which century humanity finds itself in.

No race based identity politics with One Nation whatsoever. How refreshing*

Pray for Iranians 😔
