We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
We are on the brink of breaking the backbone of Australia.
Right now this country has around 26 days of diesel left in reserve. We have 28,000 unfilled truck driver positions.
Nearly half the current driver workforce is over 55 years old. The next generation is not coming through.
The web that holds this nation together is fraying thread by thread and most Australians have no idea.
So let me walk you through what happens when trucks stop.
🔴 DAY 1 to 3
Supermarket shelves begin to empty. Supermarkets carry roughly 10 days of dry goods and about 7 days of frozen and fresh. Panic buying cuts that in half overnight.
We saw it with COVID. We see it right now with the fuel panic already hitting regional stations across the country.
🔴 WEEK 1
Fresh produce gone. Meat gone. Dairy gone. Hospitals burn through their 3 day medication buffer.
Fuel stations in regional and remote areas run dry first. Communities like those along the Perth to Alice Springs corridor get cut off. No fuel in means no food out.
🔴 WEEK 2
Construction stops. No materials moving means no sites running. Manufacturing lines shut down because components stopped arriving.
🔴 WEEK 3 to 4
Farms start to fail. Livestock trucks are not moving. Animals are suffering. Fertiliser is not arriving.
The food that was growing in the ground starts to stay there because there is nobody to move it and no fuel to run the cold chain that keeps it alive.
The Grattan Institute confirmed the Strait of Hormuz crisis has already pushed diesel and petrol prices up 70 percent for some operators.
Transport companies are parking trucks right now because they cannot absorb the cost.
🔴 BEYOND 4 WEEKS
The country fractures. Remote communities are already living this. The Lismore floods showed us what weeks without trucks looks like.
Shelves stayed empty for up to 4 months.
That was one region. Scale that nationally and you have a humanitarian crisis on Australian soil.
Australia moves 70 per cent of all freight by road. There is no backup plan. Rail cannot absorb it.
There is no reserve fleet sitting idle. There is no government emergency driver pool.
The backbone of this nation is a truck driver.
And right now that backbone is being systematically broken by underpayment, overregulation, an ageing workforce nobody is replacing, a fuel crisis Canberra refuses to take seriously, and a government more focused on a 30 year submarine plan than a 30 day diesel reserve.
Once the web breaks, Australia breaks.
Not in theory. In weeks.

🇺🇸 A group of students in Lubbock #TX have started punching, kicking, and beating the teachers.. in the middle of the school day. Students can be seen dragging white teachers by the hair. How is anyone supposed to learn in this environment? It's worth investigating.

📝 🇺🇸 🗳 Trump and the GOP built a potent political base and then dynamited it so thoroughly; an astonishing rise and fall.
The medium to long term issue is just now, the Democrats earnestly don't want to deliver much of anything to their voters either. They don't even earnestly oppose the war in Iran and obviously they are furiously stroking it to the heckin' Ukrainians more overtly that Trumps gimp suited twats did.
Can the country survive 2 years of a congress unlikely to do much except investigate and hold hearings? The economy will almost certainly crumble from energy crisis, and the wars are respectively unwinnable and not very popular. Democrats are as dedicated to Zionism as the GOP, just more lowkey about it.
The real danger for America is either a Dem slimmer majority; that tries to "AHH Schucks we couldn't get anything done.... vote for us again, just not toooooo much okay?" or a Dem giga-majority that has to just outright avoid doing anything and says "Fuck it!".

BREAKING: Iranian media publishes instructional guidelines for Iranian citizens in preparation for the possibility of a nuclear attack:
• Avoid looking directly at the intense light resulting from the explosion.
• If outside buildings and unable to enter immediately, take shelter behind a barrier and lie on the ground while covering the head and face.
• After the blast wave passes, enter the nearest building, avoid staying to watch or take photos, and do not take shelter inside vehicles.
• Head to the basement or interior parts of the building, away from windows and exterior walls.
• Close doors and windows and turn off air conditioning and ventilation devices that draw air from outside.
• Remove outer clothing exposed to contamination without shaking it off, and place it in a tightly sealed bag away from people, without going outside to dispose of it.
• Shower with lukewarm water and soap, and use regular shampoo without conditioner.
• If showering is not...
TLDR: Basically it was a social engineering phishing attack in two parts. One of the engineers downloaded a bogus AI coding tool off of a fake link on Google, and the second engineer was tricked by a fake interviewer for a new job to download a coding “assignment” containing a virus. With those two engineers compromised they could gain access to Binance.
The takeaway here? You are only as strong as your weakest link. Social engineering remains the best way to hack systems. Also DO NOT DOWNLOAD THINGS. Check to see if the Google links are REAL, do not click links or download things for “job interviews.”
Separately phishing similar to this happens all the time on X. People will DM you posing as journalist or whatever and ask you to set an interview time by connecting your X account to some calendar. Don’t do that. In the words of Admiral Ackbar, it’s a trap.
Also separately separately nobody from Google is trying to call you. We promise you. Don’t be a mark.
Also she’s...
