Why shoot it down?
Five minutes would be enough to design a way to get it down undamaged. A couple of days should be enough to get things working. Then the next one can be brought down immediately.
Sounds like fun.

Explanations vary from CCP spy balloons to satellites, ufo’s & balloon-nukes.
Strange no-one’s blamed Russia yet!
Let’s not forget India’s blunder from 2013:
India’s army reportedly spent six months watching “Chinese spy drones” violating its air space, only to find out they were actually Jupiter and Venus.
Tensions have been high in the disputed Himalayan border area between the two nations in recent years, with India frequently accusing its neighbour of making incursions onto its territory. Things came to a head during a stand-off in April when Chinese troops were accused of erecting a camp on the Indian side of the de facto boundary known as the Line of Actual Control (LAC). By that stage, Indian troops had already documented 329 sightings of unidentified objects over a lake in the border region, between last August and February, according to the Calcutta-based Telegraph.
It quotes military sources as saying the objects violated the LAC 155 times. So, the army called the Indian Institute of Astrophysics to identify the objects. “Our task was to determine whether these unidentified objects were celestial or terrestrial,” astronomer Tushar Prabhu told the paper. Only once the objects’ movements were noted in relation to the stars were they identified as planets. The Telegraph suggests the sentry ought to be forgiven, with planets appearing brighter as a result of the different atmosphere at altitude and the increased use of surveillance drones.
Just a distraction…

balloon-nukes
The Japanese thought of it first.

Where I have lived the air is rarely real clear. As a farmer I spent a lot of time outdoors.
Once on a clear day I saw what I thought must have been a balloon high in the sky, but it didn’t move much. After a while I worked out that it was the planet Venus. the only time I saw it in daylight.
I imagine the air at the border of India and China would never be murky.

Biden Says He’ll Shoot Down Chinese Spy Balloon As Soon As He’s Done Letting It Spy
U.S. — Americans are up in arms after a Chinese high-altitude spy balloon was seen hovering over sensitive nuclear sites in Montana. Biden was quick to quell fears, vowing to shoot down the hostile balloon as soon as he’s done letting it spy.
“Listen folks, that balloon came a long way to do a little spyin’,” said Biden in a meeting with military leaders. “Would be a shame to shoot the poor thing down before it even gets a chance to take some pictures! I remember when me and the boys used to spy on Suzie Anne McGillicutty through her bedroom window after a long day of protesting the civil rights movement. It’s all in good fun, folks!”
According to anonymous sources, several Pentagon officials asked how soon they would be able to knock the balloon out of the sky, insisting it was a matter of national security.
“Come on, man! I’ll let you shoot it down. Just let me check to make sure the Chinese have what they need and that the million-dollar check for Hunter’s painting came through from my buddy Xi. Then, have at it, boys!”

Very good analysis.
It is a test by China.
And the result is that the Chinese know that when provoked, the US under the Biden Maladministration will do absolutely nothing.
They now have full confidence to invade Tawain without resistance, and anywhere else they please.
Biden (or the handlers he is controlled by) is by far the worst, most destructive, most anti-American President the US has ever had, although Obama set the foundation and is probably one of Biden’s handlers.

“There is a Chinese spy balloon over the US and Biden refuses to shoot it down.”
I don’t think that is an accurate comment
The US military has shot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon after it drifted off the East Coast near the Carolinas, the Pentagon confirms.
President Joe Biden said the mission was a success, and that he ordered the military to shoot it down “as soon as possible” when he was briefed about the balloon Wednesday.
It was first spotted over the continental US several days ago, according to the Pentagon, but officials deemed it too dangerous to shoot down over land.

Greetings fron cold, dull, windless central Victoria

In other words, perfect conditions to generate massive amounts of wind and solar (not).

Its OK, the sun is always shining somewhere and the wind is always blowing somewhere and you just zip it along to where it needs to be, or put it in buckets like water to use later. Our new national energy policy.

Not much better in the northeast Padre .

Read about it here.
It appears that these renewable energy behemoths are having a little spat about the future of the Sun Cable project. According to ABC newsradio early this morning, they couldn’t agree on future directions.

That news is weeks old. I’m waiting for the next news report about it being folded up.

At least in this case they folded. Australia a super renewable hub, ha. this country goes backwards for another 10 years until someone comes to their senses. Even then.

G’day R,
That link is from Jan 12. Was there anything new in what you heard?
Last report I saw had Twiggy wanting to proceed with his “Green Hydrogen” , but not the link to Singapore.
( Since Singapore didn’t seem too committed the last bit appeared like a good decision. )
Cheers,
Dave B
30
And why would they?
What (normal) leader in their right mind would want to depend on unreliables, and on top of that, unreliables hanging off the end of a 5000km cable?
That level of stupidity would require an Australian, Canadian, NZ or UK PM or the present us “President”.
I suspect Singapore was never seriously interested but just wanted to see what the subsidy harvesters had to say. It was mostly pure green fantasy. Someone (or many) was or were having delusions.
80
Even if the cable could be constructed over the tectonic fault line, it would lose about 23% of the electricity transmitted (5% per 1,000 km). You only get paid for what you deliver.
I heard (unreliably) that there was some scepticism on the Twiggy side about the other thought bubble of generating hydrogen gas which neither Indonesia nor Singapore wanted (on safety grounds) and didn’t think much about converting the hydrogen into ammonia so it could be shipped to Singapore and reconverted back to hydrogen. I notice that the Forest Companies have seen quite a number of senior people leaving in the months before the bust-up.
90
And that’s where the vast majority of people are so ignorant, sorry to say.
You know, “that excess wind in South Australia is keeping Sydney going.” “That Queensland interconnector is working flat out delivering power into Victoria.” “That Tassie hydro is keeping the lights on in Townsville”. “That excess wind in South Australia will benefit from a new Interconnector through Broken Hill”.
Generated power has losses over distance that people say ….. “yeah, but it’s hardly anything at all.”
Of course Power Infrastructure constructors will say ‘Yeah, we can do that.”
There is so much, just so d@mned much, about electrical power generation and its delivery that people will so readily believe ….. whatever they want to believe about it, and when real electrically trained people try to explain realities, all of a sudden, the response is ….. well, he would say that, he doesn’t like Labor.
‘Huh! Colour me cynical.’
Tony.

All going to be fixed by Dan in Victoria. Apparently he intends to reinstate the S.E.C. ( State Electricity Commission) With this new version of what used to be Victoria’s sole electricity producer and marketer Dan claims that electricity prices will “plummet”. This reinvented S.E.C. will also have investments of up to a billion dollars over the next decade to build renewal energy projects that will deliver up to 14% of Victorias energy requirements.
Of course the reason that the original SEC was sold off was also to reduce consumers electricity bills. So. like climate change can mean both increased heat and increased cold, selling off public utilities can reduce prices and then rebuilding public utilities can have the same effect, Cheaper electricity.
110
Look all this renewables investment is predicated on the subsidy’s government have to give to push their net Zero polices. Thus, Governments like in Victoria are giving away taxpayer’s money to rich ‘wannybe’ greedy environmental activists like Cannon Brooks, to put substandard ‘ruinable’ weather dependent energy technology all over our lovely countryside, at the expense of existing reliable much cheaper fossil fuel generation. Go figure the economics and the morality of that!
But critically they are trying to access natural gas from anywhere BUT Victoria or NSW, when these states have their own drilled up conventional gas resources just sitting in the ground waiting to be utilised, that is the clinical definition of ‘irresponsible bad government’ caused by blind ideology to the climate change mantra. Eventually after catastrophic blackouts, Victorians in particular will start to wake up to the reality of what Andrew’s mob is shoveling.
Surely people cannot be that dumb to keep believing that CO2 from fossil fuels is somehow controlling climate, when the evidence after 40 years of international research and 100’s $billions has not verified that simple fact, because of course it’s the Sun stupid, plus oceans and the hydrological cycle that regulate climate. The harmless minor gas CO2 just happens-together with sun and water, the basis for all plant and organic life on Earth, so to demonize it and try to eliminate it is not just gross stupidity, it actually is life threatening! So, climate science is as practiced by the IPCC and BoM is fundamentally based on misjudgements, errors and outright lies!
Dylan’s ‘Blowing in the Wind’ is apt for the damage caused by the hubris of climate activism, rather than Saving the Planet, they are screwing up our modern hard-won prosperity really fast.

Dutch supermarket introduces a unique “Chat Checkout” to help fight loneliness
In the Netherlands (and in many other countries) loneliness amongst elderly people is very common. According to research, about 50% of people 55 years and older, experience loneliness.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is currently advertising to recruit an individual for the position of “Vaccine Supply Operation Lead”. You have until 14th February 2023 to apply and can earn up to £62,286 (USD $76,174).
Nothing strange about that so far so why am I writing a post about it?
The weird part comes in the description about the job. In the ‘Job summary’ section it says the following:
The role of Vaccine Supply Operations Lead is a new post to support the operations, providing accurate and timely reports for a range of stakeholders during what is expected to be the UK’s largest vaccination programme which will be delivered at pace and will be a key Ministerial priority. The role will be directly responsible for the daily operational management of all covid related products, ensuring their timely distribution across the UK, Crown Dependencies, and Overseas Territories.
“The UK’s largest vaccination programme which will be delivered at pace and will be a key Ministerial priority.” Surely no vaccination programme could be larger than the Covid one? What could they be talking about?

CIA Agent’s 1992 Confession Unearthed: ‘WEF Will Kill 4 Billion by 2030’
A 1992 book, “The Conspirators Hierarchy, the Committee of 300,” written by ex-CIA agent John Coleman is gaining renewed attention as its predictions about a “post-industrial” world controlled by globalist technocrats appear to be coming true.
In the book, Coleman claims that an international committee, led by the Bilderberg Group and Western intelligence agencies, would steer the world towards a dystopian future, in which 4 billion “useless eaters” would be eliminated by 2050 through limited wars, organized epidemics, and starvation.
Today, the world is witnessing a limited war in Ukraine, and a leaked memo from a US Air Force general warns that the US could be at war with China by 2025.
The Covid-19 pandemic has also allowed authoritarian governments to impose mass lockdowns, global economic turmoil, and the expansion of authoritarian measures, all of which align with Coleman’s predictions.
Other predictions from the book include the promotion of compulsory pornography in schools, the destruction of industry and nuclear energy, the control of agriculture and food production by the committee of 300, and a push for green energy that cannot sustain current energy demands.
Does any of that sound familiar?
In 2023, the liberal media is obsessed with promoting drag queens in schools.
Agriculture and food production has been taken over by the globalist elite, with Bill Gates becoming America’s biggest farmland owner and the Dutch government forcing farmers off their land in order to comply with crippling World Economic Forum green energy targets.
The results have been tragic, with food shortages and spiraling energy prices punishing ordinary people.
According to Coleman’s 1992 book, these current events are not a coincidence, but are part of a decades-long plan to bring about a neo-feudalistic, post-industrial society.

President Biden Announces Climate Lockdowns Coming
President Biden has announced plans to force people to work from home and give up their cars in an effort to combat climate change.
As part of the WEF’s Great Reset agenda for humanity, Biden has declared that his administration plans to make it difficult for ordinary Americans to travel in their cars and more desirable for them to stay at home.
I can’t shake the feeling that this brings us one step closer to a declared “climate emergency.” You people can all stay locked down in your homes voluntarily to save the polar bears or we can declare an emergency and lock you down like we did during COVID.

Study: Ugly People More Likely To Keep Wearing Masks
Unattractive people are more likely to continue wearing masks despite the fact that mask mandates are over, a new study has found.
The findings were published in a report derided from three studies conducted by the Department of Psychology and Center for Happiness Studies at Seoul National University in South Korea.
The first two studies found that people who thought they were good-looking were less likely to wear a mask; they were less likely to believe that mask-wearing made them look better.
Dailywire.com report: “Research shows that individuals who perceive themselves as more (vs. less) attractive possess more socially desirable attributes … have higher self-esteem … and enjoy better mental and physical health,” the study stated.
The study claims that “as essential cues that signal (un) attractiveness (e.g., facial symmetry) … can be censored with a mask, mask-wearing might critically influence how one’s attractiveness is perceived. … relatively unattractive individuals are deemed more attractive with masks … previous findings suggest that mask-wearing enhances perceived attractiveness among unattractive individuals, while the opposite is true for attractive individuals.”

RBA mistake could see mortgage interest rate repayments rise by 205 per cent
Interest rate rises are squeezing Australia and this mess was caused by a series of bad decisions that can’t be undone.
Tarric Brooker
February 4, 2023 – 5:15AM
ANALYSIS
Since the RBA first began raising interest rates in May last year, it has come under a great deal of criticism for raising rates much earlier than its previous commentary had suggested. The broader narrative was that it was highly unlikely that the RBA would raise interest rates before 2024.
Yet instead of that extremely benign scenario coming to pass, Australians have seen the largest and fastest relative rise in mortgage rates in our nation’s history.
Understandably the RBA and its leader, Governor Philip Lowe, have come under sustained fire for their incorrect interest rate commentary and not acting on inflation earlier, forcing a much swifter tightening of monetary policy than has occurred historically.
[..]
The RBA’s mistake
With around 35 per cent of mortgages on fixed rates and the vast majority set to expire over the next two years, a substantial proportion of borrowers face some challenges.
According to data from the RBA, 14.6 per cent of borrowers will feed themselves with negative spare cash flow at a cash rate of 3.6 per cent or put a little differently, two more 0.25 per cent rate rises from now.
The RBA has been heavily criticised that it should not have given borrowers the impression that rate rises were unlikely before 2024. However, it is arguably the challenge created by expiring fixed rate loans rolling off onto higher variable mortgage rates that is the greater misstep.
