Bitcoin, Volcanoes and Tonga - and how about a bit of Kazakhstan and China on the side?

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Monty

I am the first to admit I know somewhere between nothing and less than nothing about bitcoin. It is up there with my knowledge of volcanic eruptions. When you put the two together and come up with bitcoin mining from volcanoes, my head starts to spin and I reach for my too hard basket. 

However, I have had to try and get my head around these two things working in unison when I add a dose of Tonga and El Salvador to the mix. And a bit of Kazakhstan.

So come with me on a journey that makes for an interesting ride.

Why the Volcanic Eruption in Tonga Was So Violent, and What to Expect Next

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Guest Post

The Kingdom of Tonga doesn’t often attract global attention, but a violent eruption of an underwater volcano on January 15 has spread shock waves, quite literally, around half the world.

The volcano is usually not much to look at. It consists of two small uninhabited islands, Hunga-Ha’apai and Hunga-Tonga, poking about 100m above sea level 65km north of Tonga’s capital Nuku‘alofa. 
 
But hiding below the waves is a massive volcano, around 1800m high and 20km wide.

Tonga - has more than a volcano erupted?

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Monty

Little did I know a few days ago that I would be writing an article about Tonga. With the world so focused on covid, tennis players, supply chain problems and a myriad of associated issues, it was not something I expected. But here I am diving down rabbit holes and coming up with a disturbing problem. All rabbit holes seem to lead to China.

A natural disaster such as the one just experienced can have enormous ramifications. Not just for Tonga, but for the Pacific region. Like all smaller nations in the Pacific, a natural disaster is an economic and social catastrophe that makes them reliant on overseas aid to rebuild and regroup. Whoever provides this aid will potentially control the nation. 

This eruption might be a blessing in disguise... for China.

Novak Djokovic - martyr to the millions who do not believe in masks, mandates and moronic meglomaniacs.

No matter which way you shake it, Novak won today.
 
Whoever " wins " the Australian Open is only ever going to be a loser. 
 
 Australian Tennis just lost The Australian Open. The Australian government just lost the election. The Australian economy just lost the tourism industry. The Australian Nation lost its reputation and most importantly, Australia as a Nation. lost its way.

Who owns Rio Tinto and why does it matter for understanding Novak Djovovic?

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Monty

As I explained in my article a few days ago, Novak had the audacity to enter into a  debate over a very financially lucrative deal in Serbia for Rio Tinto and no doubt it was game set and match the moment he dared to speak out against an Australian mining giant like Rio Tinto. 

He served a big dose of f##k you to Australia in December by backing his own country and joining the volley of voices that dared to play hard ball with Rio Tinto. Whether it is coincidence or not, Scott Morrison's Chief of Staff is John Kunkel. Before joining Scott Morrison’s office,  Dr John Kunkel served as the former head of government relations at Rio Tinto and the former deputy chief executive of the Minerals Council of Australia.

I remember when.... fun could be had with a tin bath

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Shaydee Lane

They say that recalling a love for the past helps promote hope for the future, and reassures us that life is meaningful. It is so true. Sometimes, a simple thing can trigger a flood of memories and create an optimism where none lay before.

Only yesterday, an old tin bath at the back of Redhead's home became a place of wonder and joy for a little two year old who could turn a bucket, a plastic jug, and an old tin bath into a journey of discovery and seemingly endless pleasure.

That same tin bath has been in our family for over 50 years and has seen its fair share of change.

Why is it so? Professor Julius Sumner Miller challenged us to ask this simple question. It is time for us to ask again " why is it so? "

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Malcolm Kirke

Just over 50 years ago a TV program held my interest like no other.    “Why is it so?”   His own science-based TV series which was filmed at the University of Sydney where he taught, was broadcast from 1963 to 1986 and became an instant hit known for its "cool experiments, interesting science, and fantastic hair" … the presenter was Professor Julius Sumner Miller, who has been a huge positive influence in the lives of many young people.

As well as the cool experiments, some of his sayings were, and still are, excellent advice … “ Whatever work you undertake to do in your lifetime, it is very important that first you have a passion for it - you know, get excited about it - and second, that you have fun with it. That's important. Otherwise, you see, your work becomes nothing but an idle chore. Then, you hate the life you live.”

When did Australia become such a cruel country? Is it wrong to expect to feel grass between your toes?

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Shaydee Lane

We can cope with many many things. But we NEED to feel the grass on our toes. Sunshine, fresh air and a nice meal with conversation.

That is what life and living is all about. 

When we are told by our governments or those in power that we no longer have basic human rights to breathe fresh air, access human contact and enjoy that which was granted to prisoners under the Geneva Convention, something is wrong. Very very wrong indeed.

In defying the COVID regime, Novak Djokovic is the new 'People’s Champ'

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Guest Post

I wanted to take a moment to recognize Novak Djokovic and his heroic defiance of the COVID regime, lending his enormous platform and status to the millions of people around the world who have been denied their unalienable rights in the name of a virus.

You would never know it by his disposition, but “Djoker” has an amazing rags to riches story, and he’s well aware of how governments can cause great human suffering. Growing up in war-torn Belgrade, Djokovic had to learn to play tennis in between bombing raids. Far from a silver spooned prodigy, he had to defy incredible odds to just achieve a modicum of success, and yet he has become one of the greatest athletes of all time.

The Psychological Cruelty of Denying Natural immunity

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Guest Post

Every sick child, and probably every adult at some point, asks that existential question: why am I suffering? 

No answer is satisfying. To be sick is to feel vulnerable, weak, not in control, not in the game. Life is chugging along outside of your room. You can hear laughter, cars going here and there, people out and about. But you are stuck, shivering under blankets, appetite disrupted and struggling to remember what it was like to feel healthy. 

With fever, all of this is worse because the capacity for one’s brain to process information with full rationality is deprecated. High fever can induce a form of brief insanity, even involving hallucinations. You imagine things that are not true. You know that but can’t shake it off. The fever breaks and you find yourself in a pool of sweat, and your hope is that somewhere in this mess the bug has left you.

Citizens of Australia - are we at war?

Details
Written by: Op-Ed Monty

I watched a video today which has had a deep impact upon me. It said so much in such a short time and I found it hard to argue with or question anything in it. The speaker said " To those of you who are not aware of what is going on or still haven't figured it out, Let me get you up to speed. Citizens of Australia - we are at war. "

When our government on a federal level and our governments on a state level start locking us up, depriving us of our rights " for our own good ": I have to wonder: are we at war? 

Or have we already surrendered? 

How did we bend over and give up so quickly? Not a shot fired, unless you count rubber bullets of course; not a blow dealt - unless you count the taking down of people walking in parks; not a person handcuffed - unless you count the pregnant women and old aged pensioners - ah, such a peaceful battle.

  1. Australia open? Or Australia closed?
  2. In todays complicated and troubling world, we must not forget the little things
  3. When sports survived politics - war was no match for the love of the game
  4. I remember when... I was bitten by an alien flesh eating spider
