The massive outage of 10 million Optus phone accounts and data network this week was almost certainly the result of hacking according to Cairns News IT experts and a huge wake up call for federal Labor which intends to have National ID legislation in place early next year.
The Reserve Bank has been preparing plans for conversion to a cashless society for at least two years which overnight, if enacted, would see businesses go broke and people starving in light of the Optus disaster.
If one of the world’s largest phone companies is unable to protect its network from hacking then federal Labor is dreaming it can protect the sensitive information of 25 million Australians which will be stored in a government computer.
Nearly every private corporation and many government computers in Australia have already been hacked by either China or Russia and anything run by government would be an easy target for the world’s best hackers, particularly now that AI is freely available and is being integrated into mainstream IT.
The Labor Minister for everything, Katy Gallagher, who has been dodging persistent questioning from Senator Malcolm Roberts over 30,000 excess deaths thought to be from experimental Covid vaxxes, insists the new ID system will be safe and secure. She is noted for keeping fairies at the bottom of her garden.
This personal data will be accessible by private corporations who subscribe to the system, potentially exposing it to just about every scam operating across the planet.
“The accreditation scheme and the AGDIS (Australian Government Digital ID System) will deliver a range of benefits to consumers and business users, service providers, government, and the broader economy,” Minister Gallagher implored.
“For Australians, this means a safe, secure, convenient and reusable way to prove who they are online, and having access to more services and businesses from the comfort of their home at a time that suits them.
“This legislation will ensure that providers of Digital IDs will be governed by legislation and designed with privacy in mind so Australians can trust their information is safe and secure.
“For business, the legislation means a simpler way to verify their customers. They get access to a market of accredited Digital ID providers, giving them and their customers peace of mind.”
More laughable is Gallagher’s claim that the clinically incompetent, underfunded ACCC will administer the ID data.
“Legislation will also establish independent regulation of Digital ID. The ACCC will be appointed as the initial Digital ID regulator, given its strong compliance record as Australia’s competition and consumer regulator,” she claimed.
Optus nightmare
One X commentator warned: ‘With Optus going down this morning and the stupid wanting a cashless society…..think about that, no phone, zero purchases’.
Businesses across the country were forced to offer cash sales only in their stores as most EFTPOS machines were down.
Other carriers that use the Optus mobile network like Amaysim, Vaya, Aussie Broadband, Moose Mobile, Coles Mobile, Spintel, Southern Phone and Dodo Mobile are also down.
The telco said it was aware of issues affecting some customers but is yet to explain the system failure.
‘Optus is aware of an issue that may be impacting some of our mobile and internet customers,’ a spokesman said.
‘We are currently working to identify the cause and apologise for any inconvenience.
‘In case of an emergency, customers can still call 000.’
Federal Labor Communications Minister Michele Rowland told Optus on Wednesday they should immediately “communicate with their customers.”
Well OK this is Australia and we have to make allowances for the intellectual pygmies of Labor, Greens and some Liberals.
~ 3 weeks prior to this, my husband overhead someone who lives in Sydney & works for Optus, doing some travelling ~. The phone call was from Optus workers in Melbourne & they asked him to please help them… He was very busy at that time, not being able to get much sleep. No reply to queries, if he knew what really happened… We’ll see what he’ll do.
It more likely was China the best hackers around. Who do you think hacked Optus Rebecca? Muslim kids in a mosque kindergarden?Ed
Don’t forget Microsoft’s back door through most computers on their system. Ed
Scotoz
So I think we ALL need to send letters to these clowns and tell them they are ignorant fools and better start ramping up for a Constitutional Referendum of ‘digital currency’ versus cash money in paper and coin form.
Do you seriously believe sending such letters, even if say, 10 or 15 million of us sent them to these clowns, they’d even READ them, let alone take them seriously and actually DO anything?
‘Ignorant fools’? They’re not! We the people are the real fools here, for complying with the mandates and edicts they force upon us, for no reason other than giving them more power and CONTROL over us.
We ALL need to tell these clowns to get f***ed!
Time to wake up Scot and remove your blindfold, so you can see the real world you’re now living in.
For the ten thousandth time, the ONLY solution to ending any aspect of this global coup d’état is en masse non compliance.
Stop enabling your own servitude by obeying any and all of the mandates and edicts laid down by these humanity loathing tyrants.
In this instance everyone must STOP COMPLYING by paying for everything with CA$H only. Stop using plastic (and even worse: your smart phone) to pay for stuff and f*** the ‘convenience’. It isn’t really more convenient anyway. But certainly more than ‘convenient’ for them and their plans to usher in CBDC.
Cash is still legal tender and still in circulation. So, USE IT. ALWAYS.
If everyone, or at least a large number of us refused to go along with this by using cash for everything, they’d soon capitulate.
Force THEM to forget the entire cashless society notion, by simply refusing to play their destructive, dehumanizing games, which they invent, purely to CONTROL you and everything you do.
Claude Ramains
Labour is now telling us that their digital ID is “Safe and Secure”.
They really do think we’re all idiots!
Not really Claude…
More like they actually know that most of ‘us’ – the gleefully compliant, blissfully ignorant and stupid sheep, are idiots.
Claude Remains wrote, “Then Albo stupidly enlists Microsoft to institute Australia’s AI and Cyber security even though it, like Gates is notorious for allowing and even distributing virus’s into its own operating systems to force everyone to buy its own Nortons Antivirus software.”
Jan 2023: After Master Gates left Lizard Island he and his entourage met with Albo and dog, thanking him for his increase on the Global Fund and said he was looking forward to working with the government, followed by photo ops shaking hands outside Kirribilli House with folder in hand.
What was in the folder, commercial undertakings, risk analysis, footy tipping sheet, Melbourne Cup sweep?
To be the dog in the room.
Claude Remains also wrote, “I’d like to know where most of our politicians wealth comes from because their enormous wealth after being in politics is not explained by their pay check in parliament.”
I’m not sure if they have to declare their net worth on entering Parliament.
I wonder 🤔

Louie M said – “Wow, what a diatribe…”
Modesty obliges aposiopesis…
Louie M also said – “There are quotation marks indicating that I have quoted direct from Martin North’s blog.”
In which case, consider Martin North to be served.
… and Louie M said – “… your many assumptions that I am a ‘dude’ who has no clue about is going on?”
Sorry, Dude, I’m an equal-opportunity populist.
daviddd2 said – “In the meantime, making a lot of noise and loud growls, together with showing some teeth, might just buy us some time.”
I say, take a leaf out of the Gorilla playbook – surround Parliament House in Canberra with freedom fighters and shower them with shit. Ditto every State.
Give them a taste of their own medicine while exquisitely expressing the Australian people’s opinion of them. And maybe give all the Indian curry houses a boost.
This is the long term historical trend of your Australian currency: – you’ve got around three percent of remaining value left before its purchasing power is reduced to zero [which all fiat currencies return to].
https://www.marketoracle.co.uk/images/2009/Feb/aud-pp.png
As per normal, the gold charts are the exact opposite. Anyone holding both assets over the past twenty years, will understand the reality of the situation.
Cash savers over this period will now have to do extra work to replace the devaluation of their cash savings [especially pensioners], gold savers not so.
Gold is not a means of exchange, it’s a storage device, and there is very good reason why over the past few years, Central Banks have been the biggest purchasers.
Wow, what a diatribe that vent has turned out to be! Far too many assumptions being made.
Here’s a thought; why don’t you slow down, take a deep breath to really read what is there?
There are quotation marks indicating that I have quoted direct from Martin North’s blog. Did you even notice that? Apparently not!
Also, your many assumptions that I am a ‘dude’ who has no clue about is going on? Ha! You are way off the mark there too but I CBF with this.
Either you take the time to put in a submission or continue to waste your time and effort venting into the ether on here where no prostitician gives a damn . . . .
Scotz: “So I think we ALL need to send letters to these clowns and tell them they are ignorant fools and better start ramping up for a Constitutional Referendum of ‘digital currency’ versus cash money in paper and coin form.”
In the meantime, making a lot of noise and loud growls, together with showing some teeth, might just buy us some time. Total silence will only speed up our demise.
Now after many long in-depth discussions with lawyer friends (there are very few good ones) and testing the various ways and means of blocking these acts at the pass the most relevant and powerful one is this. Here are the facts.
1.The true Commonwealth of Australia has a Constitution as written and in force and effect as an ‘Imperial Act’ imposed by ‘paramount force’. That established we now turn to the one that has just occurred and that is section 128.
2. The powers of the assembled government are listed under Section 51.
3. In relation to money the two relevant sections are
(xii)currency, coinage, and legal tender;
(xiii) banking, other than State banking; also State banking extending beyond the limits of the State concerned, the incorporation of banks, and the issue of paper money;
Now as the Constitution was unlawfully ignored with the holding of a Referendum and introduced the Australia Act 1986 we must NOT allow these criminals to cherry pick what they hold a Referendum on. They cannot lawfully introduce a digital currency as it is neither coinage or legal tender as firstly ‘tender’ means to ‘give’ as in ‘tender your resignation’. You cannot physically give a digital ‘payment’ and so in this first part of a lawful challenge they will fail. As stated they have control via the issuance of “paper money” NOT anything else.
Now the ‘coup de grace’ comes with Section 115 of the Constitution which states
“A State shall not coin money, nor make anything but gold and silver coin a legal tender in payment of debts.”
So I think we ALL need to send letters to these clowns and tell them they are ignorant fools and better start ramping up for a Constitutional Referendum of ‘digital currency’ versus cash money in paper and coin form.
Louie M said – “So we need to make sure the Government hears from us about the essential utility of cash, and that they need to legislate to protect access and acceptance of it.”
Hate to say it, Dude, but you’re sleepwalking.
The “Government”, as you call them (with a big capital “G”), are not OUR “government”, they’re a foreign-owned corporation, namely the COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA CORPORATION (notice the capitalisation, which is important), registered in the USA and owned by genocidal Globalists who just happen to want us all DEAD.
Have you not noticed how well the “Government” has HEARD the Australian people’s emphatic rejection of AnAL’s BS “Voice to Parliament”? Strange that they’re proceeding to LEGISLATE it anyway, and tell the Australian people to go and get stuffed.
Have you not noticed the SYNCHRONISED introduction of TOTALITARIAN POLICY across ALL Australian banks, wherein they REFUSE to allow customers to withdraw sizeable amounts of their OWN MONEY in cash, and interrogate customers on where they GOT their money and why they NEED it, and BLOCK transfers and LOCK accounts if customers don’t comply with their demands? Have you not noticed the SYNCHRONISED move by ALL major Australian banks to PHASE OUT the availability and use of cash, in collusion with the “Government”?
Have you not noticed the reports of individuals being LOCKED OUT of their bank accounts for NO APPARENT REASON, with no plausible explanation beyond their POLITICAL VIEWS (which the banks refuse to acknowledge, and just maintain a wall of silence)? Yeah, Dude, they CAN do that, and THEY DO.
Maybe take the time to sit down and READ their Terms & Conditions, before the REALITY sneaks up and bites you on the arse. Your money is no longer YOUR money once they get their hands on it. Once they spring the BANK BAIL-INS on us, you can KISS ALL YOUR BANK MONEY GOODBYE, and say “Hello” to CBDCs and Digital IDs and Social Credit Scores. And it’s all perfectly LEGAL according to the CORPORATE POLICIES of our fake corporate “Government” – Scotty from Marketing made SURE of that.
You say with great confidence that “we need to make sure the Government hears from us”… how’s that been working out over the last decade, and especially over the last five years? Maybe visit one of the many “Forests of the Fallen” to get some ideas, or just go visit a local cemetry, or maybe review video of peaceful unarmed Australians being shot up by hired “Government” mercenaries at the Shrine of Remembrance, or little old ladies and little schoolgirls being assaulted by packs of mercenaries in BROAD DAYLIGHT, or video of the Queensland (fake) Police Commissioner declaring that Australian Christians are TERRORISTS.
No, Dude, sorry to say, you are SLEEPWALKING. Like the proverbial frog boiling in the pot, who STILL doesn’t understand the danger even when your skin starts peeling off and your guts float right up there in front of your face.
We don’t “need to make sure the Government hears from us”, we need to make sure the “Government” FEARS us, and more so than they ALREADY fear their Luciferian Globalist masters. Scotty from Marketing has his name right at the TOP of that list allegedly transcribed from Senator Heffernan’s list of 28 high profile paedophiles on which the “Government” has placed a 90 YEAR SUPPRESSION ORDER – and he left the fake “PM” office with a cool $52 MILLION in his bank accounts. What do you suppose creepy Bill and Klaus Schwab and Smeagol Harari have hanging over AnAL’s head to keep HIM in line?
Louie M also said – “So make a submission to the current inquiry, deadline for which is 17th November.”
You DO know they use submissions and petitions to wipe their arses in the gold-plated parliamentary toilets, right? That’s right next to the PRAYER ROOM there in Parliament House in Canberra, BTW.
Louie M: “Access to cash is a requirement, and it needs to be protected – as a safeguard to democracy!”
Amen… 1000% !!!
Anybody who doesn’t accept cash from me doesn’t accept me either. In which case they can p*ss off and get F@#$%^. Plain and simple as far as I’m concerned.
The more people get smart about that, the faster the brainwashed morons will learn not to screw us around.
Goldbugs such as Kiyosaki (video below) are relentless, ( as relentless as Daniela Cambone’s junk mail if you supply your email to get past her paywall ) but gold is just a convention like anything, often the basic actual resource is time, multiplied by some factor ie land (rent) labour (at some rate) technology (x newness) art (x
oldness) and so forth. But since the invention of debt even gold or time will surely end up being traded by counterfeit notes as debt. Gold is a problem as a means of exchange because of verification so it’s wide open to certificatisation. Bitcoins are a problem because they are backed by nothing. The real problem is debt, how to beat counterfeiting via debt. Even taxed to buggery ( mortgages ) doesn’t stop it. Maybe all our vices need to be taxed more, and our incomes taxed less, but that would not lead so quickly to communism and helpless state dependant useless eaters ripe for multiple injections.
First of all, stating the digital transition has anyting to do with Labor/Liberal/Greens is borderline misinformation as this, and every other part of the WEF’s dystopian future could be found in their books and websites long before our present band of traitors were in office.
I say borderline because the Labor/Liberal/Greens are the one’s implementing it in Australia and before you jump down my neck screaming the WEF aren’t the one’s behind this madness I don’t give a rats if they are or they’re not, they’re the one’s with the Young Global Leader’s (YGL’s) in 122 nations making it happen.
As for “hacked by either China or Russia” I must say how disappointed I am to hear CN parroting ASPI and US propaganda.
This all started when our paypackets were paid into our bank accounts, or paid by cheque. I was the only NT Government public servant paid in cash, up until 1983 when I left the Public Service because of corruption. I was aware of a law that required all employees to be paid in cash if that is what they requested. What I want to know is, does that law stand or was it repealed or rescinded?
Anybody know the answer to this? For strategic reasons, we need to trace these events because they may have made a legal error that we can use. I know of other serious legal errors can can be exploited.
@betty mac, dangerous times indeed.
Say, if someone won a decent sum in the lottery & it’s been deposited into their bank account for example, they could loose all that in a very short time.
Please remember, friends, that back in , I think 2019, on a wet and windy Friday night, most politicians had left Canberra for the weekend…..all except Morrison and his merry band.
They voted for ‘bail in’ to be established for Aussie banks, where they claim they are broke ( ha! ha!) and take our
money.That law still holds, as far as I know.
It means your money can disappear overnight.
Memory on that is a bit faded so please add or correct my post.
It’s not just Optus. It’s Telstra too.
It’s absolutely laughable after telling us the Covid vax was “safe and effective” and then thousands of people were injured and died from it that Labour is now telling us that their digital ID is “Safe and Secure”.
They really do think we’re all idiots!
The government can’t even keep their own emails secure.
Everything gets hacked and info leaked.
Then Albo stupidly enlists Microsoft to institute Australia’s AI and Cyber security even though it, like Gates is notorious for allowing and even distributing virus’s into its own operating systems to force everyone to buy its own Nortons Antivirus software.
Not unlike what Gates did with Covid and the vax.
Until our incompetent and clueless government can show that they can keep data safe and secure we’re giving them none of ours. Any info they get anyway ends up being weaponised by our own government against us even if it doesn’t get into foreign hands.
If anything has been proven over the last few years is that our govt is too stupid, too incompetent and too corrupt and menacing to be trusted with anything at all.
We use cash for most things now.
The banks “know your customer” agenda is just another word for unwarranted surveillance.
Since when has it ever been a crime for a corrupt bank that’s been convicted of crimes themselves or our government to not know where your wealth comes from?
I’d like to know where most of our politicians wealth comes from because their enormous wealth after being in politics is not explained by their pay check in parliament.
But a lot of these anti corruption inquiries could explain it if the politicians could recall answers and the judges weren’t compromised
Bottom line is that this digital ID
And the digital currency that inevitably follows it will evolve into a microchipped slave controlled population which will be a fulfilment of bible prophecy in the book of Revelation where you can’t buy or sell unless you take the Mark of the Beast in your right hand or forehead.
Why? Well because that mark identifies you as the trusted source of the transaction. That’s why. How convenient!
It’s time to repent and ask Jesus Christ to save you and for Gods help in this because this is a very slippery slope that will end in Hell if we make the wrong decision and trust the government.
If you think the Covid tyranny was bad then just wait for the digital currency.
I couldn’t help myself. I went into a business a “ratailer” that refused to take my cash during the scamdemic. Well I loaded up to the gills and went to pay by card knowing that it was an expired card (I had the cash on me) and then they said cash only. Well I let them scan everything then pulled out my wallet grabbed the cash and then said “FY you wouldn’t accept my cash back then so see ya”. Karma is wonderful.
Outage? Never noticed. We only take cash at our business.
Also, read this on Martin North’s blog this morning (Digital Finance Analytics).
“Following the Optus outage this week, the Senate has launched an Inquiry into the issue and impact. One element to the fore was the lack of access to cash thanks to recent bank branch and ATM closures and some businesses choosing to go digital only. Useless when the network or power goes out.
So we need to make sure the Government hears from us about the essential utility of cash, and that they need to legislate to protect access and acceptance of it.
So make a submission to the current inquiry, deadline for which is 17th November.
https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Environment_and_Communications/OptusNetworkOutage
Use your voice to make sure our elected officials get the message. Access to cash is a requirement, and it needs to be protected – as a safeguard to democracy!”
I really get a chuckle at some of the over-the-top responses on this site, but I like the sensible, pragmatic ones better.
As to those silly businesses that set out during the planned scamdemic to follow that dumb mantra of ‘we do not accept cash’ because it supposedly carried those dreadful germs, I hope you learned a bloody good lesson during this outage!! You want to run a business, then you need to have ‘cash flow’. It is plain and simple language that carries a huge weight of worth. If you have no Plan B to finally accept cash, then I hope you jolly well go the wall and go under. Your lack of sensibilities tells the everyday punter that you deserve no sympathy whatsoever and do not deserve to be in business.
Even better, perhaps the Small Business Association or the those Chambers of Commerce around the country could run some educational courses for you to learn exactly what the term ‘legal tender’ in Australia really means!
If people still hold money in the bank, they better have their finger on the button.
Over the past eighteen months or so, U.S. Interest rates [and those of associated Western nations] have been deliberately pushed higher. This is being done to coincide with next year’s American election, where as per usual, the FED will then lower interest rates through which to unleash massive inflation.
This is not a difficult prediction, – as they do it every election. It’s standard procedure to them.
They will then promise to ‘save the economy,’ and start raising rates again, but on one condition, – that the financially slaughtered plebs vote them in again.
The financial contagion will spread throughout the West, so keep your finger on the button, or don’t complain when your finances get massacred.
Some readers may like to hear Robert Kiyosaki’s interesting view on gold, which he describes as ‘God’s money.’ His meeting with this Fijian spiritual guru was a good way at seeing how others perceive money [2: 25 to 3: 25]
Hopefully Greens voters will wake up soon, Klaus Swab graduate Sarah Hanson Young woke up like the sleeping dormouse just in time to call for uninterrupted EFPOS access while going back to sleep on everything else such as forced injections. SH-Y wants you Greens voters chipped and controlled like a dog with an electric collar. As soon as she is dumped she will be trying to get her payoff job in Geneva or some Globalist corner office.
The outages are just one part of the digital system. How about the ATO which had their system “hacked” earlier this year. And what about Medicare? And the banks? All of this has ONLY occurred since Dec last year! Any fool and his dog can see the massive implications of steering into a digital system. It matters not whether it is planned (and sadly, yes, it all was) and it matters not whether it was by “devious characters” bent on making life very difficult for others. What matters is that it’s being created to put all your personal and financial info into the one system which WILL be used against you. AND, you will have NO recourse. So, no food and water for you for the next month! YOU’RE GUILTY!!!!
tha hacks are preplanned in my opinion… and they’re not interested in keeping data safe they sell it to the corporate globalists & chinese
Mate they’re not interested in keeping data safe.. they’re selling it to the chinese and corporate globalists.. all the hacks are preplanned in my opinion
“ALL of the banks are RIGHT NOW introducing policies to PREVENT you from withdrawing YOUR MONEY – because as far as they’re concerned, it’s not YOUR money”
True enough, the moment we hand over our cash over the counter it’s THEIR money and we instantly become a bottom of the chain UNSECURED CREDITOR with just a promissory note from the bank.
It turns out we’re not mere depositors, we are INVESTORS in the bank! If it crashes our “INVESTMENT” gets a haircut if it doesn’t get wiped out.
A perfect scenario for an asset stripping and bottom of the harbour schemes whenever they decide to launch a global downturn.
“Sarah Dumb As Sht Hanson–Young, led a motion to establish a Senate inquiry into Wednesday’s 12-hour outage”
FANTASTIC IDEA!
We must get to the bottom of the EXCESS DEATHS and why so many people died from not being able to access their Facebook accounts.
Never again, good Aussies! Never again.
The going forward of our regularly scheduled programme and Agenda: CBDC digital currency and Chinese Communist Party social credit system was rudely interrupted by [ Ka Ching!! ] – Optus Outage. Wakey. Wakey.
Well I hope Australians learnt a valuable lesson from this… always carry cash and use it! And always keep a sizeable stash at home -take it out bit by bit before ATMs disappear.
On the news I noted that when customers were asked to go to an ATM and get cash out, they angrily refused ! I bet they don’t even remember their pin any more. Its rather a sad state of affairs really that so many have handed over control of their money already.
I doubt Russia or China had anything to do with it.. I would look closer to home… probably a surveillance update or maybe even our ‘best friends’ had a hand in it. Whatever, it didn’t happen by chance – maybe it was just a practice run!
Maria Zee puts some compelling SITUATIONAL CONTEXT on the allegedly “unexpected” Optus outage over the last week…
.com/video/pQz0FOy52XjG/ (stick “bitchute” at the front)
I say ALLEGEDLY “unexpected” outage – because since when has ANYTHING in this rolling mountain of Globalist BS been unplanned?
What was REALLY going on with this so-called “outage”? Was it an experiment to test the useless eaters’ behaviour, or is something else imminently afoot?
In any case – get OUT of the banks, don’t hand your FREEDOM on a silver platter to these treasonous foreign-owned corporate Globalist bastards.
Well, folks, the message is loud and clear – only keep as much of YOUR money in the banks as you need to pay unavoidable online bills and do transfers.
I stress “YOUR” money, because ALL of the banks are RIGHT NOW introducing policies to PREVENT you from withdrawing YOUR MONEY – because as far as they’re concerned, it’s not YOUR money, it’s THEIRS. Stories are ALREADY coming in left, right and center about the big banks REFUSING to let you have your money, and INTERROGATING you as to why you WANT your money, and LOCKING your accounts if you don’t immediately COMPLY.
I closed down my ALL my Commonwealth Bank accounts after 50 years of banking with them, because they threatened to shut me off if I didn’t cough up a raft of personal information supposedly required by the fake “government’s” “Know Your Customer” legislation. That’s what they are ALL doing – hiding behind supposed mysterious “government requirements” to justify the imposition of their OWN totalitarian policies in lockstep with their foreign corporate Globalist OWNERS.
The mutual banks and credit unions are supposedly “customer-owned”, but they STILL roll over and do whatever our BS fake corporate foreign-owned “government” tells them to do. If you don’t cough up whatever BS personal info they claim that the BS fake corporate “government” compels them to collect, then THEY will LOCK all your accounts too, just like the big commercial banks. Don’t believe me? Just sit down and read their Terms & Conditions… Surprise!
So get your money OUT of the banks, ALL of them, ESPECIALLY the big four COMMERCIAL banks (ANZ, Commonwealth, NAB & Westpac) and ALL of their subsidiary branded banks. Whether you keep all of your money as CASH or invest some of it into PRECIOUS METALS like silver & gold, or invest it into other useful stuff like tools, non-perishable food stores, water storage, appliances and domestic infrastructure like solar power and so forth, don’t sit on your arse, just DO IT.
Folks, we don’t NEED the banks, UNLESS we VOLUNTARILY put ourselves into a position of DEPENDENCE on them. And that’s where they fully intend to CAPTURE us and SCREW US OVER, forcing us onto the Central Bank Digital Currency and Trusted Digital Identity from which there is NO ESCAPE. And from there, onward into our 15-minute cities with universal Social Credit Scores where you have no freedom, no privacy, no money, no options, eat bugs, own nothing and are “happy”.
NUMBERS are EVERYTHING.
So STOP using them, and STOP depending on them.
Above all – USE CASH whenever and wherever possible. And if a store doesn’t LET you use legal tender (cash) for purchases then go someplace else.
Just BTW, the Australian Constitution assigns all legislation on matters of “legal tender” and money creation to the so-called Federal Government, and none to the states. So keep an eye on where all this is going. Our BS fake corporate “government” in Canberra will move in due course to BAN all cash transactions, in order to TRAP us all in their Globalist gulag. All the more reason to be ready to BARTER and create ALTERNATIVE methods of trade, but STAY OUT OF THE BANKS.
I’m guessing it wasn’t Russia, or Anal’s government would most probably have sanctioned exports of screwdrivers…oh they have? pliers then, or China, as lame stream media would have wet their front pages with excitement.
“A judge has slammed Optus for trying to keep secret a report into the causes of its 2022 cyberattack, putting further pressure on chief executive Kelly Bayer Rosmarin to be more transparent after coming under attack for her handling of this week’s communications outage.”

Green and Labor Senators swept a motion for an inquiry into evidence based causes of Australians dying in excess of the 2015-2019 average norm under the carpet, yet WEF young global leader Sarah Hanson–Young, led a motion to establish a Senate inquiry into Wednesday’s 12-hour outage, separate to Labor’s investigation and to A.C.M.A’s. investigation saying, “There are lots of questions flying around, as of course people are so frustrated and angry at how they were treated as customers yesterday,” she said.
WOW, more than 30,000 dead Australians… “Give me my fucking phone!!!”
Security, digital ID’s and CBDC’s or Freedom, privacy and coin.
Your call Australia.
Yes, thank you Optus for inadvertently exposing the traitors.
betcha this was a controlled downtime while Optus carried out a major upgrade – probably implementing the latest AI surveillance software. The ‘outage’ was just a cover story.
It was bliss – I caught up on some chores, housekeeping, reading and reflection.
Thank you Optus
‘If one of the world’s largest phone companies is unable to protect its network from hacking then federal Labor is dreaming it can protect the sensitive information of 25 million Australians which will be stored in a government computer.’
Absolutely, and the same goes for any internet connection, which is why, since the very first day I got my own computer, I have ‘always’ kept it disconnected from the internet.
I always have two computers: [i]. My primary computer which serves as my office and work area, which stores my valuable data, research material, finances, library, etc, and [ii]. My secondary computer which connects to the internet and holds nothing of value: it’s merely a tool for downloading or information. I don’t care if this gets hacked as it holds nothing of value: that’s what it’s there for.
If I want to move data from the internet connected computer to the unconnected computer, I use a USB stick: never a direct link.
I use their devices for contemporary convenience, but always remain off-grid as much as possible.
It’s really no different to personal finances, so use their devices for practical convenience, but always hold an offline insurance policy, such as physical gold, cash, and keep valuable records in paper format.
Always understand that hackers know more about this than you, and always will, but there Archilles Heel rests in not being able to access your device.
We will all be slaves to the Machine. Atlas Shrugged seems to be out of print, but I remember enough to have a culvert that holds a bed and my record collection.
OK, Have had all sorts of trouble making a comment hence the former of “cash will always be King” so forgive me. I used to haul freight into SE Asian nations and we carried a Samsonite Attache case filled with crisp USD bills of varying denominations to “pay” for various services as in landing fees, fees to get the freight offloaded, fees on top of the normal charges for fuel for supplying fuel, inbound fees to customs, outbound fees to customs, fees for air traffic control clearances, and many more “fees” and that is never ever going to change. I thought that SE Asian fees were bad until I went to the ex Soviet Union countries and believe it or not Russia and The Ukraine (after perestroika) were far worse than the SE Asian countries when it came to cash!!!!!!!!!!!! Russia improved out of sight under Putin, The Ukraine didn’t, and so cash will be and always will be “King.” Ask Joe Biden iffn you don’t believe this ex FNQ bush kid.
Cash will always be king.
Time to recalibrate after the optus disaster – cash is still king.
Create our own credit in Australia – get an Infrastructure Bank going.
Remove Australia from IMF, BIS and the privately owned RBA.
