The Brown Note

The War On Drugs Is Over

Though it has always been a failure of biblical proportions, the war on drugs is actually over - it ended with a whimper and no one even noticed. With nearly 100 billion packages sent globally each year, encrypted messaging services and crypto currency, the game changed completely for the first time since prohibition.

Lets Kick Sky News Off Of YouTube Forever

In some of the years most heartening, warm and fuzzy news, the cess pit that is Murdoch's Sky News at night has been kicked off of YouTube, for a week, for repeatedly lying about COVID. This is a big deal, they get up to 50 times the views on YouTube than their pitiful TV channel gets. With YouTube's 3 strikes rule - two more strikes in the next 90 days and they are gone. Permanently. Lets make it happen.

Disgusted By Anthony Albanese

Anthony Albanese your Labor party are a disgrace. You've been the weakest, stand for nothing opposition leader imaginable but have somehow reversed into a winning position through the mind-blowing incompetence, scandal and corruption of prime minister Scott Morrison. Along the way ditching all of the most important policies Labor should stand for - on franking credits, negative gearing and now tax breaks for the rich. Your Labor will not only do nothing to help the most unequal Australia in history, you will carry on hammering them with toxic Liberal policies. If you wont stand for anything at all just to get elected, what is the point of you? And what is the difference between you and Scott Morrison? Being a good guy is pretty useless when you act like a terrible one.

COVID: The Anti-Vaxxer's Biggest Nightmare

Prevailing wisdom is that COVID is a boon for the anti-vax movement like no other, I disagree - they've never faced a real time, global test on what they believe like it.

COVID: You Have A Right To Protest

Most protests aren't sanctioned by the government, police force, media or even the majority of the public, so I'd be a hypocrite to deny the crowds in Sydney the right to protest the COVID lockdown this last weekend - even if this is a unique situation when it comes to large gatherings. There are some seriously bad faith actors amongst a very disparate group though.

Are Your Pronouns Important?

The latest vanguard in the civil rights movement seems to be pronouns and new sexualities - it shouldn't be, it's not the same thing and it's taking up space.

Anthony Albanese: Reversing To Victory

Opposition leader Anthony Albanese has fallen down the stairs backwards into an election winning position and is now in a race with Prime Minister Scott Morrison to see who can reverse the slowest to victory.

The Katie Hopkins Fallacy

The obnoxious right wing firebrand has been booted out of Australia for breaching COVID rules and that was the plan all along. She never intended appearing on Celebrity Big Brother at all. She wanted exactly what she got - to manufacture her own exit then cry about her freedom of speech being silenced. Heads must roll at Channel 7 for ever thinking this was a good idea and being duped by this low rent chancer.

The End Of The Afghan War - America's Greatest Folly

If the modern age has been defined by Islamic extremism, no country is more culpable than the USA, who have been the driving force in fomenting radical Islam for more than seventy years, usually to attack Russia. Nowhere is that more bitterly on display than in Afghanistan - where America began funding violent Islamic groups in the early seventies, and doing so wholesale under Operation Cyclone through the 1980's. Funding, arming, training and validating the Mujaheddin, who counted Osama Bin Laden in their ranks and would go on to become the Taliban and sending the once modernist west-looking Islamic nation back to a broken medieval caliphate. After two decades supporting them, America spent two decades fighting them, at a cost of trillions of dollars, to zero effect, leaving behind yet another dangerously failed state, where with America's longest war coming to an end - the Taliban took 50 of the 400 Afghanistan districts in the last two months alone.

Car Park Rorts - Sports Rorts On Steriods

Being allowed to get away with murder by both the Australian media and half the public - the coalition government has increasingly resembled the last days of the Roman empire, with corruption that would make Caligula blush. The latest 'sports rorts' dwarfing scheme being the $660 million car park rorts, more evidence the Scott Morrison government spent billions in tax payers money to get re-elected in 2019.
