What the hell happened during the Trump and Puttin meeting in Alaska/ The answer is simple. There was a recognition that Russia is winning in the battlefield, and that the regime in Kyiv and its backers combined, lack the capacity to win the war. The fact that Russia was able to compromise on some secondary demands and secure its primary ones is evidence of this. Continue reading Russia secures an important victory in Alaska
Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu has attacked Australia for acting shamefully for moving towards recognising Palestinian Statehood. Ther only shameful part about this is that it took so long. It took more than the admitted 61,000 Gazan’s dead, many of them women and children, and perhaps as many as 40,000, plus Netanyahu’s loud proclamation to totally annex Gaza. Australian public opinion moved this rather than compassion from the Australian leadership. Continue reading Netanyahu’s attacked Australia and deserves a harsh and swift response
When more than one hundred thousand marched across Sydney Harbour Bridge yesterday (Sunday 3 August) they made history. This was the biggest turnout Sydney has ever experienced, and they came to demand the Australian government acts to oppose Israel’s Gaza holocaust, impose sanctions on that country, and recognise a Palestinian state. Continue reading Sydney Harbour Bridge march witnessed a major list in support for the Palestinians in Australia
In the lead up to Anthony Albanese’s trip to China to talk to his counterpart there, Premier Xi Jinping, the China threat to Australia claim raised its ugly head once again. It was lapped up by the usual media hacks. We’ve heard stories about a ship cruising the Indian or Pacific Ocean perhaps veering a little closer to Australia posing a tangible threat. What about the one that the Chinese might send spies into Australia? Then there is the repeating story about the Chinese acting aggressively, when they object to an Australian battleship cruising within sight of their coast in the South China Sea.

American journalist, author, commentator, and Pulitzer Prizer winner of Chris Hedges, discusses the decent of the media and journalism into a tool for the powerful with Patrick Lawrence, a fellow journalist, as well as editor and critic. Hedges once wrote for the New York Times, and Lawrence with the now defunct Far Eastern Review, the International Herald Tribune, and the New Yorker. Both found themselves cast aside for standing against the imposed narrative of the tool. That once employed them.
Here the discussion focuses on how the deception to spread ideology that benefits the ambitions of the powerful. They contrast what it means to be a principled journalist or a hack for sale, accepting widespread censorship and lies.
What is exposed here about the media in the United States could just as easily be about Australia, given that Australian media generally echoes its counterpart in the United States. This is a must watch for anyone interested in the truth.
It’s tempting to indulge in bashing Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and other talking heads in the Trump stable. They certainly invite it. But this indulgence can divert from the deeper reality of what is going on. We see this in the mainstream Democrat response in the United States, all too often copied internationally. Continue reading People should focus less on the Trump personality and more on the interests he represents
It seems the Australian government’s support for the American attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities is strengthening, regardless of words about the need for negotiation. in the same way it has used words about humanitarian aid to Gaza, while continuing to give diplomatic and material cover to for Israel’s industrial scale slaughter of children, women, and men. This is from a government headed by a Prime Minister who once marched in the streets in support of Palestinian rights. Continue reading The Australian government continues supporting United States and Israeli acts of war
The bombing of three of Iran’s nuclear facilities by the United States was a monumental crime risking global war, and predictably, Europe’s former colonial powers applauded. It reveals that the mentality superiority and right to reshape all corners of the planet to their will remains. Then there are one or two little countries like Australia, which refuse to grow up to stand on their own feet and continue to act as a colony. Continue reading By bombing of Iran’s nuclear sites Washington has weakened its legitimacy in the eyes of the world

The Gaza atrocity continues, and Israel has begun another major offensive against the Palestinian territory and the civilian population living within it. Last Sunday (18 May 22025), Australians marched through city Streets in numbers not seen for quite a while. The epicentre was Melbourne, where tens f thousands began a march in the city centre, walked 7 kilometres to St Kilda Beach, stopping outside the United States Consulate on the way. The pause was to focus on the role of Washington as the commander, enabler, and military supplier of Israel and its actions.
