But should we really be getting into memorialising and celebrating people who were basically idiots?

 

I think anyone with children is obviously going to be affected by this story whether it was the kids fault or not. But the press pounce on this sort of thing and drag it out as long as they can. Although we aren't told quite as much about the dead children in Syria,Palestine and various other places in the world. Or the trafficked children who are killed daily. 

 

One of the kids, the 10yo, apparently was trying to help or save the others who had gone in. Was he an idiot too, for acting on instinct? And the 6yo, who could have copied or followed his older brothers? One or 2 could have been idiots, and one or two copycats or followers, but either way that's irrelevant now given the outcome. 

 

Even saying anything about the parents would be speculation, and whether it was their fault or not, plenty of older people on here would have played out for the whole of the day during daylight hours when they were kids and some may have even gone on a frozen lake. Kids make mistakes obviously. One kid at my school played on train tracks and somehow got killed by the wires. 

 

But the candlelit vigil stuff, the press like to extend the grieving period of the nation / local area as it probably encourages low vibrational mood and emotions for as long as possible. At a guess, combined with all the other negative news stories pumped into people's psyche on a daily basis. It's normally scousers who do the whole candlelit vigil stuff, unless they were the pioneers.

Now considering what is going on in the world, this is the best shite they can headline?

 

Rest day on the attack of the minds of the sheeple. 

 

Over the last few days, I've noticed even more that the main headlines on even the BBC News website are just bullshit.

 

No doubt they are just trying to distract as many people as they can from what is really going on (whatever that is).

Probably demoralization. "German" engineering isn't what it used to be.

GB News - Here are 2 of the 3 banners running at the bottom of the screen ...

 

Health Secretary Steve Barclay urges public to " take extra care " as ambulance workers walkout.

 

Ambulance services declare critical incidents following " unprecedented " pressure ahead of Wednesday's strikes.

 

Common words and slang heard again today ...

Unprecedented

All GB News quotes ...

Someone tweeted him and said only blue ticks should be allowed to vote. 

Musk tweeted back good idea, we'll make that change.

It was probably Musk that tweeted that to himself.

Only people that agree with me are allowed to vote.

I think a small subscription charge would help to eliminate timewasters and bots, even £8 a year. 

 

 

( Funny that some think bots are real )

To me, this is perfect common sense.

 

If many people in general weren't such fucking stupid idiots, they wouldn't end up in A&E or need an ambulance.

 

Then again, how much 'unprecedented pressure' is being caused because people demand ambulances to a hospital because they coughed or sneezed?

Mystery behind the enormous hexagon formation that can be seen from SPACE on Australia's coastline is explained

  • An enormous hexagon formation that can be seen from space near the coast
  • It is a secretive Naval Communication Station operated by the military
  • The base is also home to high-tech United States Space Force technology

By Aidan Wondracz For Daily Mail Australia

Published: 03:49 GMT, 23 December 2022 | Updated: 06:24 GMT, 23 December 2022

An enormous hexagon formation that can be seen from space on Australia's rugged coastline is a secretive naval communication station. 

The Harold E. Holt naval station is operated by the Australian Department of Defence on behalf of the Australian and the United States governments.

65871931-11568217-image-a-8_167176192926

According to the book Raven Rock, which details presidential, military and political history, author Garrett Graff claims the station is made up of 13 radio towers.

The tallest, Tower Zero, sits in the middle while six other towers are placed in a hexagon around it.

It sends radio signals to US Navy and Royal Australian Navy ship and submarines in the western Pacific Ocean and the eastern Indian Ocean.

It is considered to be the most powerful transmission station in the Southern Hemisphere. 

The facility is also home to high-tech technology operated by the US Department of Defense's Space Force. 

The Space Surveillance Telescope, was installed at the facility in October of this year after being relocated from the White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, in 2017 to fill a coverage gap.

The military telescope is used for detecting, tracking and cataloguing satellites, near-Earth objects and space debris.
