John O’Sullivan is a key to #Auspol Right. The man was a Thatcher advisor, MPS, assorted Atlas Network junktanks, Orbán’s anglophone ops, NatCon steerer, linked to nativist Tanton ops, in Brexit’s origin story, board at C-FAM 😬😬 (leaning Rad Trad Catholic??), media.

"Australia delivering a decisive weapon in an illegal war warrants far more debate and scrutiny than we’re currently getting – from either politicians, or the media."
But the political & media class is working hard to suppress that debate.
Another reason to support indie media like Lamestream.
"What is certain is that before this fiasco ends, Israel will inflict a great deal of suffering – on the Iranians, the Lebanese and the Palestinians."

To be clear;
- the bombing of Iran
- the fate of Australian personnel sent to UAE
- the govt's 'investment' in #AUKUS
- whether US bases on Australian soil are active targets, and
- our ability to exercise sovereignty
depend on the Sundowning Stalin's FEELINGS.
Any comment, @albomp.bsky.social ?
As with so much that the Mango Mussolini says;
every accusation is a confession.

If only.
Right to defend itself also apparently means the right of the rogue Israeli state to commit invasions of neighbouring territories, ethnic cleansing, and genocide with impunity.
Under Trump 2.0, US legacy journalists appear to have scrubbed a range of useful words from their vocabularies when describing the regime's business practices.
Such as "bribe", "pay-off", "graft", "corrupt", "criminal", "coercion", "on the take", and "kleptocracy".
I have never been more disappointed in a politician than I am in John Fetterman. What a damn shame.

When the President decides photojournalists can’t take pictures at Sec’y Hegseth’s Iran briefings, it’s not a small thing. We’re connecting the dots to the larger efforts to erode our 1st Amendment rights, just when we need them the most. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Today, Justice Barrett said “Freedom of speech & freedom of religion commit us to pluralism. They commit us to tolerance. They…allow to be heard even those viewpoints that we might disagree with.”
So, what does she make of Trump, who lacks that commitment? open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
We need your drone interceptors for our war, but we won’t thank you and our propaganda will claim that we made them.

Russia enters Viktor Orban's election campaign, providing consultants who will flood social media with messages designed, ironically, to frame Orbán, a Russia puppet, as "the only candidate who can keep Hungary sovereign"

Ilan Pappé on US and Israeli immorality and why Palestine lies at the heart of the war on Iran.
"The defence secretary John Healey is looking at options to get the oil flowing, thats the oil in the strait [of Hormuz]"
Does that include joining calls for the US & Israel to halt its illegal war & to stop the US using UK bases to bomb Iran?
"The settlers are emboldened like never before, supported by an ultra nationalist govt that's annexing this territory like never before"
Secunder Kermani reports on Israeli violence in the occupied West Bank.
"The idea is to kill off the prospect of a Palestinian state"
"Of course"
Israels allies have cynically used a 2SS as cover while supporting an Israeli state thats ethnically cleansing Palestinians & perpetually denying them their rights in the one state that actually exists
