The Brown Note

It's a long way out, but given the positives on the Labor side and the negatives for their opposition, over the next three years, I can see no possible way back for the Liberals at the next election, it will likely be even worse. Congratulations to Labor!

A walk through the shocking Labor victory I predicted on this channel a year ago... how it all happened, what it all means and where now for the Liberal's

Australia has a massive problem with racism, specifically towards Indigenous Australians - we even had a vote about it! Now we've defeated Australia Day, ANZAC Day is next in the firing line. 

And I love it! Five years back I was calling for Albo's removal, not because he wasn't a good man who would make a good prime minister, but because he was a terrible campaigner who would never get there. He has grown remarkably into the role and is running rings round Dutton this campaign. The worst the press can throw at him is he's boring. Well, I like my governments boring, after years of calam...

And only one of them is Musk being a Nazi.

It's certainly the worst Australian election campaign by an opposition party in the 30 years ive lived in this country. There was never a prospect of the Liberal party being elected, but no one predicted how bad this campaign would be. Constant missteps, zero policies, wildly unpopular MAGA worship, a leader who seems like he barely speaks to his own troops and the impression they all woke up on t...

The landmark British TV series shines a light on the online forces shaping young minds and turning young boys into misogynists, but it stops short of offering any solutions to an apparently unsolvable problem. Here I try to do just that. The review https://thebrownnote.podbean.com/e/adolescence-review/

With the combined impacts of the totalitarian chaos inside America, the tariffs and Trumps continual abuse of longstanding allies, for the first time in maybe seventy years, countries are starting to cut the apron strings from the United States. Both economically and militarily - the World is waking up to a World without America.

One positive about Trump, if not for America, then certainly for the rest of the western world, is it has seen a massive swing towards left-leaning parties and away from right. Canada has seen a 27 point lead for the right disappear to 2 in under 3 months. No one in other countries wants to elect anyone remotely like him.

I posted a similar piece last year, when Elon Musk threw his weight and his wealth into the ring for Donald Trump. I was very wrong, as Trump won, and for a brief shining moment, it looked as though this obnoxious try hard really was king of the world. Ironically, Trump winning will end up costing Musk twice as much.

There's a big mistake people are making in calling Elon Musk president and claiming Trump is his B$tch. Trump, the most disloyal human bieng perhaps ever born, is simply and ruthlessly using Musk, not only for his money, but to "flood the zone". He will sit back, fleece him dry, let him help dominate the news cycle, then cast him adrift without a thought - just as he has done his whole life. Trump...

If he benefited from insider trading, yes. The Australian want-to-be prime minister bought shares in the big four banks, in 2009, at the height of the global financial crisis, after not buying any in the preceding three years. He promptly sold the shares under two weeks later after the Labor government announced a massive bank bail out, sending the shares rocketing in value. He's alleged to have b...

So how IS that multi-decade 400 billion dollar Australian defense pact with America looking today? I must admit, I thought World War 3 was inevitable, I just didn't think America would be on the other side. What will Trump demand over this? Australian mineral resources? Nuclear missile bases in Darwin? Perhaps even scarier is Five Eyes, the hugely secretive intelligence alliance between America, t...

There are a couple of themes being promoted by the infernal trio about Europe when it comes to military spending (not enough!) and immigration (to many brown people!). What this ignores is the elephant in the room. Europe didn't invade Afghanistan, Europe didn't invade Iraq, or overthrow the government of Libya, or try to topple Iran and Syria. Europe would not need to spend so much on its militar...

And at the end of it all, the whole world is in shock that Trump did exactly what was 100% certain he would do all along, side with Putin. But this war, with no possible victory for Ukraine and unending suffering and destruction for the Ukrainian people, never needed to happen and had no good outcome for Ukraine anyway. A look at the decades long road to war - just so the West could attack Russia,...

The much earned and very late entrance into the interest rate cut cycle is a joyous reward for Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese and the Labor party - lets hope it manages to cut through with the public, above the relentless wall to wall pro-Liberal noise of the Australian news media. To listen to them it's the worst government ever, by every metric, we have a near world leading economy....

One thing this wildfire of a second Trump administration has proven, if someone can come in with such power to instantly destroy or change everything they want, above the law or political machinery in place, the system was broken to start with. In places like the UK, the rest of Europe and Australia, it isn't even legally possible to do half the things the Trump administration are doing. To quote...

Given Trump and Netanyahu are now saying the quiet part out loud - we are going to remove the Palestinians from Gaza, a look at the enormous elephant in the room when it comes to global reporting on the future of a Palestinian state. As I covered a long while back, Israel cannot simply take the West Bank and Gaza strip and assimilate them into a future Israel - they HAVE to ethnically cleanse the...

Why is no one in the media asking? Google how much is Peter Dutton worth. Now I'm not saying he is worth that but if the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese buys a home for $4.3 million, a sum he could legitimately afford - it's front page news. So why is there one rule for Labor and another for the Liberal party and their leader? Even if its not true, why no transparency? Why are some p...

No doubt you have heard about this massive multi-million dollar Ukrainian fraud the Bidens have been accused of and the endless legal assaults on Joe Biden's ex-junkie son, Hunter? Well have you heard as much about the fact the guy who accused them - for $600k, paid to him by associates of Trump, and who was connected with Russian intelligence, was sentenced days ago to six years in jail after con...

My channel was started, 4 years ago, on my anger and disgust at the Australian news media's slavish worship of one side of politics - The Liberal Party - and their relentless attacks on the other - The Labor Party. Nothing has changed. The Labor government of Anthony Albanese has been mature, measured, and achieved multiple policy goals - noted in this piece - after the disastrous calamity of the...

Ed Sheeran is the latest in a long line of well meaning folk, to put the boot into Band Aid's song, Do They Know it's Christmas? For its condescending lyrics. Prompting its co-writer Bob Geldof to fire back at "an abstract wealthy-world argument". The lyrics, near written on a beer mat over a couple of days, were never meant to be examined as a treatise on Africa for the next forty years. They wer...

After being everyone's favorite, decrepit uncle in the face of fascism, Joe Biden has had a horrific final two years in public office. He is shaping as public enemy number one in returning Trump to power - for two main reasons, his deeply unpopular wars - especially Gaza with progressive democrats, and his handling of his  own succession. The party too are equally to blame for ignoring the progres...

Anyone thinking this time would be like the last time, is living in delusional alley. Nothing screams that louder than the insane picks for the highest offices in the land. *since this was broadcast live, the cheery, lovable Matt Gaetz has "quit".

According to the World's media, politicians and even the King of Denmark for some reason, Amsterdam descended into a pogrom like wave of anti-Jewish violence, after a soccer game between an Israeli club and Dutch Titans Ajax. The media narrative was set. It's just they missed out a few facts, like how the whole thing started with Maccabi fans - know for racism and violence back in Israel - tearing...
