The first bullet train in Southeast Asia: the Whoosh between Jakarta and Bandung. Operational since 2023, with a top speed of 350km/h and a real commitment to its tagline – every start- and end-of-journey announcement ends with the conductor saying ‘Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Yes’, though not with much excitement.

I just found out that there's a #EU citizens initiative to connect all EU #capitals by #HighSpeedTrain.

As someone who lives in #Berlin, and still has family and friends in #Amsterdam, I would love this to happen.

I refuse to take the plane for such a small distance, and there's no way it should take 7 hours by train.

The initiative can be found here: connect-capitals-hsr.eu/
And you can sign directly here: eci.ec.europa.eu/035/public/#/

Please sign, and share.

Australia Bush Fires Coincide with Proposed High-Speed Train Path, Smart Cities

The onslaught of bush fires in Australia is readily attributed to “climate change” religion, but there’s more to the story than the first hoax. The various locations where the bush fires started coincided with the proposed path for high-speed trains and the proposed locations of “smart cities.”
The Preparation

In order to effectively implement the plan of clearing the areas to be used for the aforementioned projects, the budget for the Fire and Rescue NSW was cut by $12.9 million, while the volunteer-run Rural Fire Services lost $26.7 million as expenses.

Byron Bay, which is currently being torn apart by fires, was promised $5.85 million for a new fire station in Kingscliff. The funding has yet to arrive.

Many firefighters are currently battling the blazes with bore water, as New South Wales is currently experiencing a severe drought and was already running out of resources before the fires began.

As a result, thousands of residents have been told not to expect help from the NSW Rural Fire Services and were left to evacuate for themselves.

As we have explored previously, natural cycles are a common occurrence in this country, and the temperatures and heat experienced is certainly not a new phenomenon.

Instead, the key point to note is that conditions regularly get so dry that if a variety of bushfires were to start at any point across the country, they would leave a distinct mark and spread quickly — especially if there was no response to contain them.

policies over the last few years have also made hazard reduction activities more difficult, including a cut back in back-burning, where authorities identify at-risk areas close to developments and ‘reduce the load’ with controlled burning in preparation for bushfire season.

Not doing so adds more fuel to the fire. Fast forward to today, and there is over 80 fires spreading, all lit at the same time.

As we learn more about the ongoing bushfire ‘crisis’, many mainstream media news reports are now suggesting that most of the fires were intentionally lit.
