Australia firmly entrenched as part of the US/Israel military-industrial complex. Someone is profiting from this and it ain't you and me.

In today’s game of Make Millions With Market Manipulation:

1. Energy Secretary posts that a tanker has been safely escorted through Hormuz.
2. Oil price falls 10%, friends buy.
3. Energy Secretary deletes post.
4. Oil price rises 12%, friends richer.

Thank you for playing, see you all tomorrow.

Canada Is at War ... With the United States Pete Hegseth took time out from the chaos of the Iran war to make an announcement that Donald Trump has renamed the region from Mexico to Greenland as β€œGreater North America.”

Trump is once again denigrating our PM and ignoring the sovereignty of our border. This isn't "Trump being Trump" it is Trump being Putin.
We are subject to constant psyops and economic pressure to attack our right to exist.
Please check out my latest piece.

Labor MPs quietly alarmed by Albanese government’s response to US-Israel strikes on Iran Several MPs question why the party rushed to endorse strikes that were likely in breach of international law

The AL(political)Party is digging its own grave very quickly. Siding with a mad king and a genocidal crook demeans us all. F*CK TRUMP is what won the ALpP all those seats. #auspol

Reporter: Did the US bomb an elementary school and kill 175 people?

Trump: Based on what I’ve seen, it was done by Iran. 

Reporter: Is that true Mr. Hegseth?
Hegseth: We’re investigating. 

Trump: It was done by Iran. They are very inaccurate with their munitions.

A tiny sack of shrivelled Aussie sultanas. I wonder if Albo will be the first to endorse Trump’s use of a nuclear weapon against Iran when this war gets even further off script and the orange dementor gets it into his rotting pumpkin husk that...

The good news is that the duopoly would only do this if they are seriously scared of losing seats to Independents. What better endorsement of your value and power than your opponents trying to rig the game against you?

As Australia becomes more integrated into the US military machine, can it avoid being dragged into war? The US-Israel war on Iran shows once again how deadly it is to be America’s enemy – but also how very hard it is to be its friend

In January 1973, Whitlam announced formal end of Australia's involvement in Vietnam. 2 years later his removal was engineered by our #AUKUS partners.
@albomp.bsky.social used to care about stuff like this. He now treats us like poll numbers. #auspol
