Australian service personnel were on board a US submarine when it’s struck the IRIS Dena as it returned home from military exercises in India.
Longest government was one of the first and most supporters of the illegal strikes that took out the religious leader of the Shia religion and slowed down maritime traffic in the entire region.
Human rights were violated in the strikes and included the Minab school.
Tail is wagging the dog. This is the Zionist empire in action.
Miriam Adelson: "Leaders and governments may change, but the US-Israel alliance must remain strong. We have two years in this administration to... defeat our true common enemy."
This is the chilling reality of the US political system. A billionaire mega-donor is openly talking about her power to dictate policy over the next two years, regardless of who the voters put in office
Vote blue, vote red-the lobby still runs the show.
Why doubling down isn't a strategy.
@baoshaoshan speaks on the risks of continuing to be overexposed through overreliance on the US.

'The legislation changes will allow defence officials, ratified by the minister (a tick and flick exercise, at best), to declare special security zones, even temporarily, where unauthorised entry or presence (so, protest) – among other unauthorised and restricted activities – could land you in jail and or heavily fined.'

“In an environment where accountability is demanded by a beleaguered electorate, the continued reliance on these appointments shows the political class doubling down into self-interest rather than reform” 👇

“Dutton takes a board position at the solemn shrine of the AWM, where the essence of the ANZAC is modified from a remembrance of the loss, sacrifice, and ultimate folly of war to a politicised entity stacked by ideological former politicians and sponsorship links to the military industrial complex.” 👇

Kevin cut his teeth in one of the biggest historical anomalies in history, literally dubbed ‘the end of history’— a strange period of unipolar US hegemony that has never occurred before or will never occur after.
As a consequence, people from Kevin‘s generation are wedged into an ideological bubble with a set of beliefs that are counterintuitive to objective logic and reason.
As the world changes rapidly, people tethered to this anomaly fail in their calculations, as all the baseline numbers used to crunch the equations are based on bull dust.
The only way out of this is to reassess—stop, think and listen.
As a former member of the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union, Czechia understands how ideology can shape reality. Read my keynote speech to CEVRO University in Prague: mrkrudd.substack.com/p/china…
"It's about contributing as opposed to taking. It's about becoming intertwined and part of something as opposed to building walls to keep others away."
Prof. Powell @baoshaoshan is one of the great sovereign thinkers in the country.
Don't miss.

Freedom is the ability for a sovereign nation to engage in its national interest.
It’s not one thing or another. It’s not US freedom or Chinese tyranny.
It’s not helpful to have a country that we have sent generations of our soldiers to die for, suggest that any other choice but the United States is a choice against freedom.
Where is the freedom in that?
Israel has ensured Palestinians are in the lowest elevation in Gaza, susceptible to being washed with sewage and floodwater.
World is changing. The @abcnews would have reported this in the old days.
The cost of backing Israel?
Laith Marouf from @TVFreePalestine gives a clear and powerful analysis on the decline of the West through its unreasonable support for Israel.

Feeling very pre-Nordstream.
Wish the US embassy stuck to diplomatic function rather than writing dystopian fiction.
NINETY-NINE PERCENT of Australia’s international internet traffic travels through about 15 cables on the seafloor. As @RichardMarlesMP put it, they’re the arteries of modern life, and they can be cut by an anchor at night.
Protecting them is one more reason to deepen our cooperation through #AUKUS.

Indian Dalits and Adivasis cannot afford to relocate abroad, leaving a lack of caste diversity when it comes to Indian migration.
The powerful Bramin class, that has developed vast intergenerational wealth from the exploitation of lower castes, is the group that often migrates, bringing along prejudices that some white supremacists would baulk at.
Case in point 👇
