Mainstream media is careful to tell a very different story. Believe your eyes, not your ears.

Moscow, February 2022: a procession of European leaders arrive to cajole an autocrat with weak arguments that are irrelevant to what he intends to do. Washington, February 2025: a procession… OK, let’s hope there are some better ideas this time. www.bbc.com/news/article...

My warmest greetings go out to the wonderful people who built their careers sniffing out “Ukrainian Nazis” under every stone in Ukraine for tasty headlines that fueled Russian war propaganda on this-is-why-Ukraine-must-be-dealt-with, only to get Nazi salutes normalized in their own country.

Notwithstanding the Supreme Court’s fabricated immunity, he will go to prison if he’s ever not president again, and he knows it. The next four years will be about ensuring he can remain president for life, because the institutions with the ability to physically remove him from office won’t.

It’s possibly a good time to recall that peace talks concluded, reportedly successfully but ‘stillborn’, in April 2022 only to be thwarted by the U.S. and UK. https://www.intellinews.com/fresh-evidence-suggests-that-the-april-2022-istanbul-peace-deal-to-end-the-war-in-ukraine-was-stillborn-321468/

America has been pretty fucken evil for the last 50-60 years. It just usually has better PR and mythmaking than this.

“Talk of Ukraine’s resource wealth has become surreal. A figure of $26 trillion is being cast around for combined mineral reserves and hydrocarbons reserves. The sums are make-believe.”

I wonder if engaging Trump on his false claims about Zelensky's approval rating is missing the point. Trump doesn't actually care if Zelensky is popular or legitimate. What he's saying is that he wants Zelensky replaced. That's Washington's new position, not that Zelensky has an xyz rating.

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

It appears that the gloves are off ? This is a pretty damning set of comments even for Trump, especially when they are being targeted at a countries leader which is supposedly ‘on the same side’ as the U.S. Moral of the story : don’t say anything that will upset Trump.

Usman Khawaja has asked "where is the justice?" after two Muslim women were attacked at a Melbourne shopping centre, in what's being treated as "prejudice-motivated" "Rather than have an exclusive anti-Semitic summit, how about we stop picking sides and include Islamophobia"

Arts Minister Tony Burke made some remarks earlier this week about Creative Australia’s decision to ditch Lebanese Australian artist Khaled Sabsabi as the pick for the 61st Venice Biennale. They didn’t get much coverage but I can’t get them out of my head. So here you go.

What is the sensible analysis on why Australian living standards have been destroyed?

USA Vice President #JDVance made very juvenile speech in #Europe. He is a perfect example of why #Trump era will never MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN as they have no idea how to work with humanity beyond their dark world of thuggery and greed.

There Is No Antisemitism Crisis In Australia. It’s A Carefully Constructed Lie. The Murdoch-owned Daily Telegraph has been caught trying to orchestrate what can only be described as a mass media psyop to inflame public hysteria about antisemitism in Australia. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/there-is-n...

Organised crime, not anti Semitism Politicians & Zionist leaders wrong again 🙄 www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

The underworld has for decades stashed weapons in hidden locations to use as bargaining chips if they are later captured. Criminals turn in weapon caches to police in exchange for a document called a “letter of assistance”, which details how they have helped investigations.

ABC staff ‘disgusted’ by handling of Lattouf case.

"All it took for the ABC to abandon its most basic obligations to one of its on-air presenters was a 3 day email campaign, and a single inquiry from The Australian." In other words, our "independent" public broadcaster was driven by the Israel lobby and NewsCorp. #LattoufvABC
