Israel: Is Netanyahu The Palestians Best Friend? 29.03.2023 7:53
As ludicrously offensive as that sounds, is Netanyahu and his historically right wing government, so far gone, it will be impossible for Israels backers in the West to maintain their position and with hundreds of thousands of left leaning Israelis protesting in the streets, the potential for cross-over between the concerns of Israelis over Netanyahu's Neo-fascit government and those of the Palesti...
Syria: American Bombs And Hypocrisy 26.03.2023 6:18
Whilst America screams to whole world about the sanctity of Ukranian sovereignty and freedom from foreign military war - they wage military war from American military bases in Syria. This hypocrisy is clear to the whole non-Western world and confirms to type. Why is the American military in Syria? Were they invited? No, are they at war? No, did they go their to overthrow the Syrian government? Yes...
Feminism, Trans Rights and Posey Parker 26.03.2023 12:36
One voice was noticeably absent from the anti-trans activist and grifter, Posey Parker's whirlwind trip to Australia, feminists. Actual cis woman feminists talking from a feminist perspective and recently, they nearly always are last to be heard from on their own issue. And feminism is their issue, it belongs to cis women before anyone else, just like trans issues, politics, stories, identity and...
Jeremy Corbyn, The Time Is Now: Start A New Party 24.03.2023 14:20
The UK Labour party have proved that they're poisoned beyond cure, a Neo-liberal version of Labour ethics and economics that prevents them ever offering real change. There is still enormous love and support for a genuinely good man that the UK was robbed of, by a unified establishment onslaught, leaving unfinished business. There's nothing you can do inside the current Labour part, so start Labour...
Ukraine: China’s Peace Deal 21.03.2023 8:49
I posted "Where is China" on Ukraine a while back, it seems they may have been there all along. After brokering a situation the USA seemed far more comfortable with being war like between Saudi Arabia and Ukraine, they are back with another non-militaristic peace deal between Ukraine and Russia. The World has changed and the West hasn't noticed. How about we ask Ukrainian's how they feel about thi...
Iraq At 20: The Most Corrupt And Destructive Act This Century 21.03.2023 14:14
The war in Iraq - now twenty-years old - was not a mistake or an error - it was a deliberate lie, a corrupt act of biblical proportions that dominated the first decade of this century. Why is the real reason we went still so opaque - barely ever mentioned? We know they had no weapons of mass destruction, because a decade of UN weapons inspectors told us so. We already knew Saddam was a chemical w...
Ukraine:4D Chess And The Reverse Iron Curtain 17.03.2023 9:23
I was about to post that the USA, the EU, NATO and the military industrial complex had won, that they'd got everything they could possibly have dreamed of out of the Russian war in Ukraine - only at the expense of Ukraine - as a new and highly lucrative iron-curtain descends on Europe. Then I saw the China peace deal between Saudi Arabia and Iran, the fact that the BRIC nations - Brazil, Russia, I...
US Banking Crisis, REGULATE THE BANKS! 17.03.2023 7:16
In the midst of yet another financial meltdown and banking crisis in the US, why is the talk only of who will bail them out and never of re-introducing the banking and financial regulations, destroyed by Ronald Regan and Bill Clinton (and again by Trump)? The ones specifically designed to stop these greedy bastards from setting fire to their own houses and protected America from major financial cr...
AUKUS: Australia Vs China Round Two 14.03.2023 8:34
Just as the dust was settling on ex prime minister, Scott Morrison's idiotic attack on China, current PM Anthony Albanese has agreed to that fools submarine deal! Well I guess we now know why the Sydney Morning Herald ran all those war with China pieces last week... Ignoring the eye-bleeding $350 billion cost of getting submarines we will never use in twenty years time, it weds us to American mili...
China: The Decline And Fall Of Western Civilization 14.03.2023 9:05
The West has dominated the world politically, militarily and economically for a very long time - the Anglo-sphere for centuries, from Great Britain to the USA. The predictions as to when this would fall have been rife this century, with the economic rise of China - maybe we just passed that tipping point. The biggest story (virtually ignored by Western media) has been China brokering a peace deal...
Saudi Arabia And Iran: China Rises, America Falls 12.03.2023 10:16
The biggest news story in the world is barely being mentioned. For decades, American support of Saudi Arabia and opposition to Iran, has been a defining characteristic in Western global politics, including endless wars. Now America's Middle Eastern princeling, Saudi Arabia, just brokered peace with their mortal (and at this juncture, tellingly Russia friendly) enemy, Iran - through China, without...
Australian News Media The Worst In The Developed World Part 2: From Robodebt To War With China 12.03.2023 9:14
The reason I started this channel was how appalled I was at the Australian news media, who gave one side of politics a near universal free ride, no matter how bad it got, not exactly good for the country or what they're there for. I posted then, a few years back, about how it was the worst mainstream news media in the developed world. Now, in the wake of their complete lack of interest in the bigg...
Gary Lineker & Jeremy Corbyn - Why I Hope UK Labour Lose The Next Election 12.03.2023 11:37
The weirdest (and potentially most dangerous) upshot of football presenter Gary Lineker, being suspended by the BBC, for daring to offend the UK's Tory government, is the focus on ex UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, and the relentless, universal attempt by the UK's media - especially the BBC - to destroy him. His humanity, honesty and morality have also been shown in stark contrast to that of curre...
Gary Lineker Vs The BBC 12.03.2023 13:36
The perception of public broadcasters like the BBC being anything but mouthpieces for right wing governments, was laid bare by football commentator and ex-England superstar, Gary Lineker, tweeting that maybe the Tory government's policies towards refugees was just a little bit Nazi-esque. I would've thought he had upheld BBC values by doing so, and wasn't aware a broadcaster that went through Worl...
The Problem With Activism Today 10.03.2023 10:38
As the self-appointed spokesthem for activism, a look at how modern activism is crushingly focusing on trivial and not big ticket items, wildly trashing anyone that disagrees even one per-cent with what they say and ignores the negative impact they are having on wider causes. Activism is the court of public opinion and we are turning off droves and then crucifying them when they criticize us - thi...
Why do Peter Hartcher And The Sydney Morning Herald Have Blood Lust For China? 09.03.2023 7:00
Ever since our venerable >cough < ex prime minister, Scott Morrision's most noxious brain fart, about sending weapons inspectors into China (costing us our largest trading partner) chief political editor, Peter Hartcher and his once great newspaper, the Sydney Morning Herald, have been fighting a proxy war with China. Now after backing off for a while and relationships thawing, they are back with...
Let’s Have A Royal Commision Into Privatization 07.03.2023 12:22
Defined as: the transfer of a business, industry, or service from public to private ownership and control, how would that ever be a good thing?! The main purpose of all right-wing, economically Neo-liberal government, is to transfer as much public wealth into their private sector buddies hands as possible. The current New South Wale government has sold off more than $90 Billion in public assets. L...
Superannuation: Is Anthony Albanese A Super Genius? 06.03.2023 5:32
Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese just sent an unexpected flare up on superannuation. After bagging him for abandoning the Labor party must-do list of rich people tax breaks, negative-gearing and franking credits, is he playing 4D chess with all of us?
Superannuation: The Australian News Media And The Top 1% 06.03.2023 8:59
Mere seconds after Aussie prime minister, Anthony Albanese even mentioned removing some tax breaks millionaires gained in recent times, the Australian mainstream media, from radio to tv to print, proved as always who it really works for - the top 1% of Australians (who they hilariously call middle Australia). But there power has never been weaker. This is a massive opportunity.
The Israel-Ukraine Paradox 01.03.2023 6:31
Whilst the West arms Ukraine with billions in weapons and universally sanctions a much larger and more powerful attacker stealing their lands, the West also gives billions in arms to Israel, whilst Israel attacks a much smaller and weaker opponent and steals their lands, and turns a blind eye to anything they do the Palestinians. I guess some people are worth more than others.
From Roald Dahl To Ian Fleming - Never Change An Artists Work 01.03.2023 8:02
No doubt sniffing future profits, and fearful of the online mob spoiling that party, the estates and publishers of Dahl's and Fleming's works are releasing new versions of their books, changing words. Never change an artists work. For a start it's missing a great opportunity to learn and teach - how and why history has changed, how to deal with being offended - it's also deleting a snap shot of th...
The 15-Minute City Is Coming For YOU! 27.02.2023 10:18
Move over COVID, conspiracy town has a new sheriff - and it's an a doozy. If you've spent your life (like I have) in horrendously developed major cities, the idea of having everything you need 15 minutes from your home, would seem like the sanest and most wanted and most human development plan ever, apparently its basically Stalin.
El Salvador’s New Mega Prison - A Crime Against Humanity 27.02.2023 9:04
Never trust any phrases less in politics than "Tough on Crime" or a "A war on crime", it's just right-wing populist short hand for "We aren't going to address any of the reasons for crime, just lock more people up, even harder, which has never in the history of humanity worked". With El Salvador now going down this route with the America's largest ever prison camp - with a massive emphasis on just...
Fox News Should Be Jailed 24.02.2023 9:31
The 1.6 BILLION dollar Dominion Voting Systems defamation case against Fox News has revealed something we all knew was happening - Fox News doesn't even believe the crap it spouts. Whilst it's most toxic mainstays like #TuckerCarlson and #SeanHannity were spruiking mass voter fraud to a violently wound up audience who would end up trying to overthrow the government, they were mocking those same cl...
COVID: Well Done World 24.02.2023 8:16
Well done to the world for their response to COVID - it needs saying - where for once right wing populism was ignored for a global belief in science (if only we could've done the same for climate change). Now the cookers, conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers and charlatan politicians are claiming they were right about everything, when all they've done is spout a load of rubbish 3 years ago, dropped...
