5 Reasons Why Toxic Masculinity Is A Real Problem?

Don’t get defensive about this statement or I will punch your head in. 5 reasons why toxic masculinity is a real problem? Seriously though folks, it is, because it doesn’t just occur on the personal level it impacts across the whole spectrum. Vladimir Putin displays toxic masculinity via his actions invading Ukraine as the leader of Russia. The behaviour of the Russian President can only be described as toxic masculinity. Taking what you want violently against the wishes of another, when you know full well it is not yours to take.Continue Reading

A Generation Of Australians Have Grown Up Weak believing in US might

Baby Boomers have grown up under the misapprehension that the United States of America was there for us. A generation of Australians have grown up weak on this basis. When exactly has the US come to our aid since WW2? The answer is never. On the other hand, how many times has Australia answered the call from America? Korea, Vietnam, The Gulf War, Afghanistan, Iraq and Pine Gap of course. Australians have learned to see our subsidiary role to the US as payment in advance for any serious threat upon our shores. ANZUS was invoked after 9/11 and for the invasion of Afghanistan.Continue Reading

Chris Hedges Cancelled By National Press Club

Australia lacks a progressive media platform and is overrun with right wing Murdoch lackeys calling the shots. Visiting US journalist Chris Hedges cancelled by National Press Club over fears of him challenging the pro-Zionist narrative about Gaza. There is a lack of media diversity downunder in a sector largely controlled by News Corp and Nine Fairfax. Hedges, a longtime and well respected journalist, who was a former Middle East correspondent, had been confirmed to speak at the Press Club in October. His sudden cancellation conveys the unhealthy influence that the Zionist lobby has in this country.Continue Reading

Does Australia Want To Be A Vassal State?

Does Australia want to be a vassal state of the United States of America? The AUKUS submarine deal puts us in that invidious position. The Trump regime is rapidly taking the US down paths that modern Australia does not agree with. Donald Trump is a racist and white supremacist. Trump is a convicted felon and has spent decades doing dodgy deals with nefarious groups and individuals. The administration of Donald Trump is behaving in ways that are anathema to what we in Australia expect of our governments and leaders. The depicting of China as the bogeyman of the geopolitical world is an American invention. The US is frightened of a level playing field, economically and militarily. We, in Australia, need to ask ourselves who and what is the real evil in today’s world.Continue Reading

Israel Killing Palestinian Children Enmasse

Israel is a worsening problem for Palestinians and the world. This festering boil in the Middle East has reached a critical stage. The inhumanity of the Netanyahu regime toward Gazans continues unabated. Israel killing Palestinian children enmasse. Starving women, men and children to death, following killing more than 60, 000 Palestinians by bombing the shit out of Gaza is beyond the pale. Hamas may have started this latest conflict but killing so many innocent people is unacceptable. What we are witnessing is the racism of the world writ large, where Arab life is considered less important than our own. America backing the Netanyahu led Israel throughout this conflict is testament to this.Continue Reading

man waving flag

The fact that private property has been damaged and graffiti daubed on walls in a couple of Australian cities means these are law and order issues. Australia does not have an antisemitism problem on this basis. Talk about political manipulation and overreach. We have police forces capable of adequately dealing with these relative few instances of criminal damage. Most Australians know that there is a protest movement engaged in drawing attention to the genocide being committed by Israeli forces in Gaza, where more than 50, 000 Palestinians have been killed by the IDF. Passions are high among the Australian Arab population and younger Aussies more generally – this is understandable in light of what is going on.Continue Reading

hands grasping belly fat through shirt

Donald Trump and the MAGA cult have turned the GOP into the greedy gut’s party. The political party that represents those who already have a lot and want ever more at the expense of those with next to nothing. America has a problem with obesity among its people. Folk sitting on their fat arses a lot. Meanwhile, ICE is targeting brown skinned Americans to tone that population down by detaining and deporting them. The greedy gut’s ethos now running America is not about equal opportunity. In fact, DEI is on the nose in the USA.Continue Reading

news inscription on neon signboard hanging on street

News Corp’s Daily Telegraph newspaper in Sydney inventing fake news clearly shows that this organisation is not fit to be running a media company in Australia. Sleazy reporter crew follows Israeli provocateur into Arab restaurants in an attempt to stir up trouble and play the antisemitism card. Daily Telegraph fake news stunt of contrived antisemitism. News Corp are no strangers to this kind of unprofessional behaviour, as they would not know what objective journalism is if it bit them on the arse. This Murdoch family business is a travesty of bias and one eyed right wing reporting. Sky News Australia is Fox News lite without the American accents. Their newspapers are equally ill informed and rabidly right wing.Continue Reading

President Trump Congratulates Record Breaking Astronaut (NHQ201704240005)

Today, we heard that  Donald Trump has given his approval for the AUKUS deal. Why wouldn’t he? In this deal, Australia pays billions of dollars to the US to boost their nuclear submarine building capacity. There are, however, no iron clad guarantees that we will receive any submarines. Donald Trump would love such a deal with billions going to the US military industrial complex and delays are always par for the course with these kinds of arrangements. Australia is kissing the ring of Trump by relinquishing our sovereignty by allowing a greater US military presence within our territory and becoming further subservient to American interests.Continue Reading
