UK Race Riots and the Online Civil War
Thursday Aug 08, 2024
Thursday Aug 08, 2024
Taking our country back from immigrants is nothing new to the UK. There was the National Front protests in the 1970s, the Nazi sympathizers in the 1930's. The difference this time, is the internet. After the tragic murder of two children in Southport, was incorrectly linked to a Muslim immigrant, 30% of the internet traffic promoting the initial protests was from the UK, 40% was from the USA. We now have a highly combustible mix of motivated and organised extremists online, gullible Gammons and common garden racists, sovereign citizens and anti-vaxxers, and bad faith actors in the media and politics. Whilst it won't ultimately amount to much, it feels like America dipping its toe in the water for an attempt at impending civil war. And you can bet its coming Australia's way.

Oh well, I was, as I predicted at the start, a few hours late in getting this online but my thoughts anyway. THANK GOD Kamala dodged the biggest bullet she will face, choosing Josh Shapiro - who was favorite - as VP. She really hasn't put a foot wrong and I was terrified picking a pro-Netanyahu VP would fracture a newly healed Democrat party. Now, with such a well balanced ticket of Kamala/Walz really throwing into focus the freak-show that is Trump/Vance, I'm about to call this election done.

Welcome Home Julian Assange!
Sunday Jul 28, 2024
Sunday Jul 28, 2024
A belated hero's welcome to the most important and iconic journalist of the century, WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange. Finally free, after more than a decade of being de-facto tortured at the hands of the State, in order to destroy the threat of a good example.

US Election: Trump's Worst Nightmare, Biden Quits
Tuesday Jul 23, 2024
Tuesday Jul 23, 2024
It's either the luckiest or most genius move in political history, but replacing Joe Biden is a masterstroke on every level. It kills the relentless momentum Trump built up from the debate debacle and being shot, it focuses the biggest weapon the Republicans has against the Democrats, Biden's age, right back on their own candidate, and it re-energizes the Democrat vote. Trust me, Trump wishes he'd lost that debate. The question now is, having used up all their nine lives, will the Democrats make the right choice?

Fatima Payman Vs the Australian Labor Party: Albo Read the Room!
Sunday Jul 21, 2024
Sunday Jul 21, 2024
The Achilles heel of both the UK and Australian Labor parties is their slavish obsequence at the top, to the Israel lobby. No one should ever be excluded from Labor for upholding Labor values, let alone opposing genocide. Anthony Albanese has failed spectacularly to read the room here - telling the Muslim voters of Western Sydney to ignore whats happening in Gaza because he's giving them free TAFE. FFSK

UK Election: The Truth About Keir Starmer's Victory
Wednesday Jul 17, 2024
Wednesday Jul 17, 2024
For the next twenty years, the media will tell us about the glorious victory of Keir Starmer. They will say only a Tony Blair, pro-Tory Labour party will ever get elected in the UK and we must forget all about those horrible (actually Labour) Jeremy Corbyn socialists. This is the truth, even after the most calamitous four years in UK political history, from Boris "Party-gate" Johnson getting the boot, to Liz Truss's glorious six week reign of terror to Rish The Wonder-dog Sunak, and a country wild with rage at the incumbent government, Keir Starmers Labour inspired the lowest voter turn out since 1928 - the first year everyone could vote. The incoming prime minister lost 17.4% in his OWN SEAT. NO ONE loves Keir Starmer's Labour.

The Shooting of Donald J. Trump
Sunday Jul 14, 2024
Sunday Jul 14, 2024
The only thing I am surprised is it took this long for things to explode, with Trump and his supporters playing with fire for eight years. But honestly (in the first shooting of its kind the right aren't calling a false flag!) they've been exploding for years. The likes of the mainstream media and the Democrats will wring their hands at how such a terrible thing could happen, blind to the fact it hasn't been business as usual politeness for years now. Are they really this oblivious as they sleep walk towards fascism, insurrection and civil war? What the shooting means, the likely aftermath and the years of poisoned rhetoric and political discourse from Fox News and the toxic right that led to it.
**BREAKING - The Shooter Matthew Crooks was a registered REPUBLICAN, you couldn't make this up, the tolerant Right strikes again... I guess NOW it's a false flag operation.... lol

Why did Peter Dutton Press the Nuclear Button
Saturday Jun 29, 2024
Saturday Jun 29, 2024
I previously stated that Australian opposition leader Peter "potato" Dutton had already lost the next election, over a year out. This was for a number of reasons - a major one being his re-igniting of the climate change wars with his take it or leave it mandate for nuclear power, but why did he commit such a brazen act of political suicide? And this in an era where opposition leaders try to stand for as little as possible as close as possible to their opponent, standing for something massive and putting all the attention on yourself is borderline insanity - surely mummy Gina Rinehart isn't THAT powerful?

UK Election: Lets Take Down Keir Starmer
Wednesday Jun 26, 2024
Wednesday Jun 26, 2024
I've posted at length about my love for the Jeremy Corbyn side of the UK Labour party and my hatred of the Tony Blair side, most egregiously embodied by current Labour leader and Thatcherite Tory Keir Starmer. With Labour pretty much guaranteed an election victory, I posted I hoped they'd lose, just so the media wouldn't spend the next 20 Years claiming only a Blairite could win for Labour. What if Labour were to win and Starmer were to lose his own seat? It would be the greatest political victory in my lifetime.
