Saudi Arabia And Iran: China Rises, America Falls

The biggest news story in the world is barely being mentioned. For decades, American support of Saudi Arabia and opposition to Iran, has been a defining characteristic in Western global politics, including endless wars. Now America's Middle Eastern princeling, Saudi Arabia, just brokered peace with their mortal (and at this juncture, tellingly Russia friendly) enemy, Iran - through China, without American involvement. This is a global paradigm shift of incredible magnitude.

Australian News Media The Worst In The Developed World Part 2: From Robodebt To War With China

The reason I started this channel was how appalled I was at the Australian news media, who gave one side of politics a near universal free ride, no matter how bad it got, not exactly good for the country or what they're there for. I posted then, a few years back, about how it was the worst mainstream news media in the developed world. Now, in the wake of their complete lack of interest in the biggest political scandal of the modern era, Robodebt, to spruiking war with China, a follow-up is due.

Gary Lineker & Jeremy Corbyn - Why I Hope UK Labour Lose The Next Election

The weirdest (and potentially most dangerous) upshot of football presenter Gary Lineker, being suspended by the BBC, for daring to offend the UK's Tory government, is the focus on ex UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, and the relentless, universal attempt by the UK's media - especially the BBC - to destroy him. His humanity, honesty and morality have also been shown in stark contrast to that of current UK Labour and that of their weather-vane leader Keir Starmer. For the first time everin my whole life, I want Labour to lose the next election against an all time worst UK government. Life will of course be worse, but it's better go through that pain, than reward this all time worst Labour and be stuck with hearing about the only kind of Labour that can win elections for the next two decades, never getting any real change.

Gary Lineker Vs The BBC

The perception of public broadcasters like the BBC being anything but mouthpieces for right wing governments, was laid bare by football commentator and ex-England superstar, Gary Lineker, tweeting that maybe the Tory government's policies towards refugees was just a little bit Nazi-esque. I would've thought he had upheld BBC values by doing so, and wasn't aware a broadcaster that went through World War 2, would require impartiality against fascistic language. But the levels of hypocrisy that have been thrown into light is fascinatingly dangerous for the Tory-BBC love affair.

The Problem With Activism Today

As the self-appointed spokesthem for activism, a look at how modern activism is crushingly focusing on trivial and not big ticket items, wildly trashing anyone that disagrees even one per-cent with what they say and ignores the negative impact they are having on wider causes. Activism is the court of public opinion and we are turning off droves and then crucifying them when they criticize us - this is helping no-one.

Why do Peter Hartcher And The Sydney Morning Herald Have Blood Lust For China?

Ever since our venerable >cough< ex prime minister, Scott Morrision's most noxious brain fart, about sending weapons inspectors into China (costing us our largest trading partner) chief political editor, Peter Hartcher and his once great newspaper, the Sydney Morning Herald, have been fighting a proxy war with China. Now after backing off for a while and relationships thawing, they are back with this in a raft of recent attack articles:

 

"Our independent defence panel asks if we should consider national service or even hosting nuclear weapons."

 

To fight China. Fox News worthy stuff.

 

 

Let’s Have A Royal Commision Into Privatization

Defined as: the transfer of a business, industry, or service from public to private ownership and control, how would that ever be a good thing?! The main purpose of all right-wing, economically Neo-liberal government, is to transfer as much public wealth into their private sector buddies hands as possible. The current New South Wale government has sold off more than $90 Billion in public assets. Let ask the questions - who benefited? By how much? Is it being run better? How much did it cost? - the tax payer builds it and pays for it and the right-wing sell it to their mates for a song and then rent it back to us. STOP PRIVATIZATION. NSW Labor are right to make this an election centerpiece.

Superannuation: Is Anthony Albanese A Super Genius?

Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese just sent an unexpected flare up on superannuation. After bagging him for abandoning the Labor party must-do list of rich people tax breaks, negative-gearing and franking credits, is he playing 4D chess with all of us?

Superannuation: The Australian News Media And The Top 1%

Mere seconds after Aussie prime minister, Anthony Albanese even mentioned removing some tax breaks millionaires gained in recent times, the Australian mainstream media, from radio to tv to print, proved as always who it really works for - the top 1% of Australians (who they hilariously call middle Australia). But there power has never been weaker. This is a massive opportunity.

The Israel-Ukraine Paradox

Whilst the West arms Ukraine with billions in weapons and universally sanctions a much larger and more powerful attacker stealing their lands, the West also gives billions in arms to Israel, whilst Israel attacks a much smaller and weaker opponent and steals their lands, and turns a blind eye to anything they do the Palestinians.

I guess some people are worth more than others.
