Under Trump The South Rides Again
Much of what President Donald Trump is doing is not new in United States’ terms. Indeed, you can categorise it as another chapter in the South vs North civil war. Remember what flags flew in the hands of the January 6 violent protesters as they broke into the Capitol. The stars and bars were proudly displayed numerous times on that day. Under Trump the South rides again. Armed militia claiming to be patriots smashed up property and bashed in the heads of police protecting Congress. The Trump revisionism of that day cannot truly hide the scars and deaths incurred on that rebellious occasion. Presidential pardons cannot rewrite history, no matter the lies and bluster.Continue Reading
The RBA Funded Right Wing Think Tanks For Decades
We hear a lot about the independence of our central bank, but not so much of their political bias. The RBA funded right wing think tanks for decades. These are the intellectual influencers dedicated to promulgating neoliberalism and anti-unionism downunder. If you want to know why the gap between rich and poor has widened so immensely in Australia look no further than these institutions and their influence upon the Aussie economy over the last 30 years.Continue Reading
Albanese Is In Appeasement Mode
In politics you are either moving forward or trending downward. PM Anthony Albanese, the surprise success story of the last few years, has seemingly stopped reaching for progressive momentum. His Labor government has the largest federal parliamentary advantage in Australian history. Indications are that his government is more about defending the status quo than actively making things better downunder. The trouble with thinking that you are representing more people is that you get into appeasement mode. Governments and their politicians begin to make their priority staying in the job rather than pushing for change. Albanese is in appeasement mode, it seems.Continue Reading
No Rise Of The Popular Right In Australia
There is no rise of the popular Right in Australia, as incorrectly suggested by some. What there is, is a battle for the Far Right vote between the waning Liberals, the Nationals and One Nation. The LNP federal Coalition between the Libs and the Nats is unravelling, as we speak. Metropolitan Australia has rejected the hard Right, Trumpist views and policies of the LNP Coalition expressed at the last federal election. The Libs were decimated in metro Australia giving Labor the largest parliamentary advantage ever. Former leader Peter Dutton was sent packing, losing his seat and getting his party thumped mightily.Continue Reading
A World Chock Full Of Corporate Concentration
For many decades, America has been the cultural Capitol of the world. The super power led the way via popular culture – movies, music and celebrities pumped out an influential message across the globe. Corporations quickly cashed in and expanded the merchandising opportunities. Now, we live in a world chock full of corporate concentration. Just 5 companies control more than 90% of the major media platforms in the United States. That means that a few individuals are holding the reins of power when it comes to what we watch on screens. Most folk spend more than 10 hours per day watching screens.Continue Reading
Trump: Is There Anyone Less Deserving Of A Peace Prize?
Donald Trump picks up a second-hand Nobel Peace Prize and shamelessly exhibits it. Meanwhile, after illegally invading Venezuela for its oil and backing Netanyahu’s genocide in Gaza the very old white guy rambles incoherently about something or other. Trump: Is there anyone less deserving of a peace prize? He must be the most unpopular and despised human being on earth right now. The Trump regime is accelerating the demise of the dollar dominance in the global economy. Gold and silver are going through the roof, which is a sure indicator that investor anxiety is at a peak. Nations are getting ready for war.Continue Reading
Why Are Labor Governments So Gutless?
The collapse of the Adelaide Writer’s Festival brings into stark relief the cowardly actions of governments and public boards in Australia in the face of Zionist threats. Pro-Israel influencers in the legal sphere are running censorship campaigns to control who has a voice in Australian cultural life. South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas is the latest leader to kow tow to Zionist pressure in having Palestinian Australian writer Randa Abdel-Fattah removed from the Adelaide Writer’s Festival lineup for 2026. This has resulted in 4 board members resigning and hundreds of writers pulling out of the biggest writer’s festival in Australia. Why are Labor governments so gutless?Continue Reading
Murderous Trump Regime Kills American Mother
How would you describe an ICE agent who shoots an unarmed woman in the face repeatedly? Gutless, coward, lowlife scum would be some of the terms I would you to describe such an individual. Murderous Trump regime kills American mother. Not only was she an unarmed woman but an American citizen too. What kind of out of control operation is the Trump regime running? Untrained, incompetent and murderously unbalanced. These extremists are killing Americans completely unnecessarily. A properly trained force would not operate in such a manner. These ICE agents should be locked up and incarcerated for their murderous and violent rampages.Continue Reading
The Hole At The Centre Of American Justice
There is a story about the Lincoln assassination, which, in my view, epitomises American culture. The assassin of President Abraham Lincoln was one John Wilkes Booth. Booth was an actor and, whilst not top shelf, he was well known. After shooting the President in the back of the head, while Lincoln was watching a play at the theatre, Booth made his escape. He reached a bridge on horseback, which was necessary for him to cross on his way to Maryland. The bridge was being guarded by a Union soldier, due to there being a nighttime curfew in place. The story goes that initial denials of passage were overcome in order to please the celebrity status of the stage actor. This encapsulates the hole at the centre of American justice, when it comes to celebrity, wealth and power.Continue Reading
The US Illegal Invasion Of Venezuela
Watch the corporate media tilt the US illegal invasion of Venezuela into a ‘isn’t it great that Maduro is gone’ narrative. The heavily controlled US media has been coerced in advance by Trump. CBS has a new right wing boss, Bari Weiss, who already pulled a negative story about the El Salvador jails being used by the Trump regime. Just 5 companies control more than 90% of the major American media platforms. Americans do not care whose toes they step on. Indeed, they admire ‘bad ass’ actions, as if they have the God given right to take whatever they want. Even in Australia, the gutless ABC has a YouTube video entitled “Is the US Invasion Of Venezuela Legal?’ Of course, it isn’t!Continue Reading
