I’m having the black screen issue that has been reported in the past. The PS5 worked and then I did an update and now it boots to the PS5 screen then blank. If I press the controller PS button it beeps and shows a little circle with a line through it in the top right of the tv. When I turn off the device it shows the “your PS5 is shutting down message” on the tv. Safe mode boots up fine but then when it boots normally nothing beyond the PS logo.

I have tried a bunch of fixes, changed HDMI, changed resolutions in safe mode to all available, and still same issue.

I have not tried a reset (normal nor the factory reset), is that the only option left? And will it solve the situation?

For those interested I think it’s worthwhile reading chapter 4 of the recently released social cohesion interim report.

It explains something most probably had an inkling of but maybe never understood completely. And that is the concept of Community Security Groups or CSGs.

It appears Jewish/Zionist aligned CSGs have been increasingly active in surveillance and monitoring of people and share this “intelligence” with police in NSW, Victoria and other states. They are mostly ‘volunteer’ but now corporatised, meaning they’re a corporate entity so not subject to the same rules/laws as police; they’re basically a private security company.

What the report (to me at least) indicates is that these CSGs are going to be granted more access and more free rein on their operations. They’re going to control more areas in ‘collaboration’ with police on various days of their choosing based on events/areas they want to deem ‘security areas’.

What is truly eye opening to me is how utterly structured these CSGs appear to be, and where they could lead. It’s obvious that their goal is surveillance and intelligence gathering, along with security. So what now is stopping these CSGs from popping up all over the place? What restrictions are going to be placed on this model? Are we entering a phase where only Jewish CSGs are permitted and no other ‘community’ can have them? Will the Indian community establish CSGs? Will the Pakistani community? Or any community for that matter? Simply to monitor and surveil whoever they wish in the spirit of ‘social cohesion’?

This report is truly concerning, not so much because of what happened to the Jewish community, that’s tragic and horrific, but more so how it’s developed into a backdrop to a far more structured and intrusive security model that will be given more access and power than before.

If this whole concept of CSGs is simply to protect solely the Jewish community and nobody else is allowed to do this, then it’s a problem. If this model is now open to any and all community groups, it will be a disaster in waiting.

All in all, we fucked up. This isn’t about social cohesion, it’s about opening the door to foreign influence and interference of Australians by foreign aligned security groups masking as “community security groups” or CSGs.

I’m all for making communities safer, but this isn’t the way.
