Think about some of the words that start with ‘P’. Prince, power, penis, paedophile, perpetrator, prince, penis, power and paedophile. The ‘P’ words. Prince Andrew and the P words that cost him his title. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, has become the latest victim of the long running Jeffrey Epstein saga. Hang on, it might not be right to call him a victim, as he was, by all accounts a perpetrator. OK, perhaps, he is finally starting to get some of his just desserts. It is funny, peculiar, that a former prince is really the first powerful man, who was a customer of Epstein’s sex trafficking, to pay any kind of price for his morally wrong and possibly illegal behaviour. I mean, Epstein pimped and trafficked thousands of girls over a decade or two to lots of his wealthy male clients. Many of these girls were underage and most of them were ill used via a great capitalist imbalance of power. Rich men buying sexual favours from poor girls, who very likely were not getting a fair deal out of it, but Jeffery and Ghislaine likely were to their advantage.Continue Reading

Freedom Of Information Really Matters

In Australia, as in most places, we do not have direct democracy, rather we have elected representatives within political parties doing the job of governing, supposedly, on our behalf.  Freedom of Information (FOI) is an important conduit into that rarified air where the power is brokered. The Albanese government seeks to make that access harder and more expensive for us to really find out what is going on at the big table. Freedom of Information really matters. It behoves disbelief that the first thing this Labor federal government does, after achieving its largest majority in the parliament, is to reduce transparency on the pretext of lessening the workload for public servants.Continue Reading

This land of billionaires and oligarchs who boast of enormous fortunes but still pay little tax. Where the rich grow richer and under Donald Trump slash any semblance of the welfare state. A nation where members of Congress stay in power well into extreme old age. Are Americans the most selfish folk on earth? The idea of community seems an alien concept and maybe they confuse it with communism? They idolise the wealthy and the largely fraudulent narrative of the self-made man. A nation of immigrants who now attack the most recent waves of immigrants, as bad people deserving of detainment deportation.Continue Reading

Australia Remember What 10 Years of The Coalition Brought Us

Have you ever asked yourself, as an Australian, why our leaders make such bad deals on our behalf? Why don’t the gas companies mining our gas pay taxes and royalties equivalent to the billions they make from selling our national resource? Is it corruption or the result of their inadequacy? The little men leading Australia: Astray. The contract details around AUKUS only reinforce this woeful deal making by our politicians and bureaucrats when dealing with international representatives. Is it the result of long standing national low self-esteem, gullibility, corrupt practices or a combination of all of these elements? Whatever it is, they are seriously underselling Australia and letting us all down at the big table where these things are negotiated.Continue Reading

Oligarchies have been around for a very long time in modern terms. The word itself comes from the ancient Greeks, like many of our words for social structures and types of government. What can we do about the oligarchs? Oligarchy versus democracy was first billed as a clash of governing systems some 3 millennia ago in Athens. The original Greek oligarchies were based on class and wealth, as the two most often went hand in hand. Democracy came about as a means to break the grip of noble families on governing Athens, the city state. This new expansionary form of government spread to other Greek city states.Continue Reading

President Trump Postlaunch Remarks (NHQ202005300037)

A majority of Americans have chosen Donald Trump, a known liar and convicted criminal to be their president. In a two candidate race they have chosen a ridiculous scumbag over having a capable woman to lead their nation. Make no mistake, America chooses a crook for President. What this tells the world is that the laws of the land and morality do not matter to most Americans. In the wake of all the crap that Trump spews forth daily and its divisive consequences more Americans have chosen this rather than a fresh start. This is a warning to the world about where the United States is heading and fast.Continue Reading
