Australia was not established as a nation-building project. It was established as an extraction platform. The British did not colonize Australia to build a civilization. They colonized it to extract l; first convict labor, then wool, then gold, then minerals, then gas. The political architecture was built around that extraction logic from day one, and it has never been restructured away from it. You assume the state exists to serve the population, and therefore bad outcomes must mean the state is being run poorly. Australia is not a sovereign state that happens to have a mining sector. It is a private sector extraction platform that happens to have citizens. Every Australian who “owns” a home is servicing a debt instrument that enriches the FIC. The minerals get dug up by foreign-owned multinationals. The profits get distributed to global shareholders. The taxation office is structured; by design, through decades of lobbying, to ensure the extraction proceeds leave the country with minimal sovereign capture. The politicians are doing exactly what the structure requires of them: absorbing public anger, rotating every few years to reset the pressure valve. Australia is not mismanaged. Australia is managed perfectly, just not for Australians.

@asdfqwer123 @danpakko You’re a tone deaf idiot. You’ve made the silliest oxymoronic comment possible for the moment.

@danpakko Islamist apologist idiot.

Iran’s former ambassador to Australia Ahmad Sadeghi was expelled in August 2025, the first since WW2. Declared “persona non grata” by Penny Wong as a result of Iran being blamed by ASIO for two“antisemitic” arson attacks, with no evidence other than Mossad. Reinstate him NOW 1/2

@LoadedSbomb @ChrisPenknz FFS, myocarditis is 10x more likely following a covid infection.

@ChrisPenknz Congrats. Hopefully you can remove the Covid 19 Vaccine requirement for entry. My son wants to become the 4th generation in our family to join the RNZAF, but not at the risk of myocarditis... cardiovascularbusiness.com/topics/healthc…

It's a real privilege to be appointed Defence Minister by PM Christopher Luxon. Thanks for all the well wishes here on X! I do wonder what this 21yo Navy sublieutenant would have thought about it 😂 (1/x)

Contrary to the ignorant narrative of unhinged US evangelist so called "Christians" - The Persian empire (Iran) actually commissioned and rebuilt the second temple of Jerusalem. The temple had been destroyed by the Babylonians. At the time of its destruction, Israel had long been conquered, and Judah was a vassal state of the Babylonian empire. The temple was destroyed as a punishment for attempting to rebel, the king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar had banked on egyptian support which never materialised....

Most moral army in the world shot Muhammad’s thumbs off after learning he was only 2 weeks away from becoming a surgeon.

Go fuck yourself Zvi, you’re an earnest supporter of IDF genocide. 🇮🇱卐

@sunshinehaze1 @napoleonbusch2 It's worse. The number of new oil/gas exploration permits dropped off a cliff in 2014. There is nothing there.

@napoleonbusch2 There are still 31 active permits for oil drilling. In 2018, the decision was to stop granting new permits. Where are all oil companies for the still existing petmits? Not here because it's too far away, and cost versus reward doesn't stack up.

Fuel for my business Vehicles 2025 through 2022 Has tripled 2022- $3505 2023- $5788 2024- $6604 2025- $9830 Thanks to Cindy and Piglet, it will, with any likelihood, be $20,000 -- plus in 2026.

@napoleonbusch2 If Mardsen was still running you would still be in the same position. Your business skills are lacking if you didn’t look at alternatives to your rising fuel costs. The writing has been on the wall for years that cheap fuel would not last.

@PsPeterMortlock F*ck off Mortlock. Myocarditis is 10x more likely after a covid infection than from vaccination for young males.

Hipkins needs to be accountable and be fired! He knew that the vaccine had risks of myocarditis and did not say anything! (And by the way, it is not rare.) He says that it was not his role to speak on or get involved medically, yet he and Jacinda mandated two shots. If that is not involvement, I don’t know what is?

So, it took the passing of a law to hang Palestinians, for some 'Christian Zionists' and brainwashed zealots to notice the stench of genocide? It's amazing it has taken a literal hangman's law for them to see what has been right in front of them. For decades, this regime has worn the mask of the persecuted while operating the most well-funded state-sponsored terror machine on earth. They've hijacked Judaism as a moral cover for a regime that is the single greatest threat to global peace - all while your strings are pulled, engineering a sideways hate that blinds you. Millions of good Jews see this for what it is: a state ruled by the Epstein Class and Satan-worshipping gangsters, like much of the Western world. And we've been dancing with the devil way too long. Now, the mask hasn't just slipped; it's been traded for a noose. Much of the world finally sees them for what they are: perpetrators of calculated slaughter and genocide who thought they could hide behind PR and lies forever. That immunity is dead. 'Settler' violence continues; foreigners and Israelis continue to steal land, hijack homes, and assault and kill innocent Palestinians across the West Bank and Israel. It is a systematic erasure disguised as a 'conflict.' Israel's new execution law has no age exemption for children; it currently applies only to 'fatal attacks' against Israelis and 'settlers.' So they've passed a law to execute Palestinian's while 'settler' violence escalates and Palestinians are murdered regularly, with impunity and without prosecution. All the while, Isreal already holds over 450 Palestinian children in custody - 200 of them without any charge at all. Given that children as young as 12 are routinely tried in military courts, what do you think happens next? Over 20,000 children murdered since 2023 and another 20,000 'missing' - likely crushed under the rubble - or orphaned and alone. This is documented slaughter and destruction of precious innocent lives. And still, a Palestinian child's only shield is a stone. History is closing in, and no amount of engineered 'prophecy' or propaganda can scrub away the blood of the innocent. The reckoning isn't coming - it's already here, and the weight of it will be absolute. It's been a staggering display of moral rot for decades that your taxes are actively subsidising - and some of you are still cheerleading it. Any person with a conscience can see this slaughter for what it is. To deny this is anything less than pure evil, or worse; to manufacture excuses for it - is a sickness I can no longer look away from or forgive. Ignorance is no longer an excuse; it's a choice. Clip from Gerard Horton and journalist John Lyons 2014 collaborative investigation into the treatment of Palestinian child prisoners by the Israeli military "Stone Cold Justice." As of late 2015 (after this documentary) Israeli law established a minimum sentence of three years for stone-throwing. Just as stone-throwing went from a minor offence to a mandatory three-year minimum in 2015, and now potentially to death in 2026, the 'legal floor' for what constitutes a capital crime is constantly sinking. If the legal definition shifts to include 'intent to kill' regardless of the outcome, a stone thrown at a vehicle could technically qualify as a capital offence - and don't think they won't do it. History will judge every person who stays silent while a state legalises the hanging of the occupied.

@AlanChewring @CoviLeaks It's not a good look, but the terrorists you describe all speak Hebrew.

@CoviLeaks Genocide as defined by who? When your country has been under almost constant attack for nearly 80 years with men, women and children enduring rocket attacks, bombs, knife attacks, shootings, rape, burning alive, kidnapping, more rape, psychological torture, then you can post.

BREAKING: Trump’s birthright citizenship scheme implodes after lawyer’s JAW-DROPPING courtroom blunder about Native Americans. Donald Trump sent his top lawyer to the Supreme Court to argue that birthright citizenship should be stripped from hundreds of thousands of American-born babies. It went so badly that his own solicitor general nearly argued Native Americans aren't citizens either — and had to be rescued by a Trump-appointed justice. In one of the most jaw-dropping exchanges of Wednesday's already disastrous hearing, Justice Neil Gorsuch — appointed by Trump himself — pressed Solicitor General D. John Sauer on the logical consequences of the administration's own legal theory. The exchange was as stunning as it was revealing. Gorsuch asked a simple question: under the administration's proposed test for birthright citizenship, are Native Americans born today automatically citizens? Sauer's answer was a slow-motion legal train wreck. First, he said yes — obviously. Then Gorsuch pushed him to set aside the statutes granting Native Americans citizenship and answer based purely on the administration's own constitutional theory. Sauer's answer changed: "No." Under the 1868 congressional debates, he explained, children of tribal Indians were not considered birthright citizens. The courtroom went quiet. Gorsuch pressed harder. But under your test — the domicile test you want this court to adopt today — are tribal Native Americans born on U.S. soil birthright citizens? Sauer fumbled. "I think so... I have to think that through, but that's my reaction." "I'll take the yes," Gorsuch replied — essentially throwing the solicitor general a life preserver before he could drown any further. Let's be absolutely clear about what just happened. The Trump administration walked into the highest court in the land with a legal theory so sweeping, so poorly thought through, that when a justice applied it logically, the government's own lawyer couldn't guarantee that Native Americans — people whose nations existed on this continent thousands of years before the United States did — would qualify as birthright citizens. This is the constitutional chaos that Trump's executive order invites. Once you start unraveling the 14th Amendment's guarantee that all persons born on American soil are citizens, there is no clean stopping point. The administration's own lawyer proved that in real time, in front of the entire nation, while Trump was still in the building — before he turned tail and fled. The 14th Amendment was written to be clear precisely because America had already lived through the horror of deciding that some people born here weren't really citizens. The Supreme Court has upheld birthright citizenship for 157 years. And Trump's lawyer just demonstrated, in spectacular fashion, exactly why those 157 years of precedent exist. Please like and share this post if you believe the Constitution means what it says — for everyone born on American soil.

🚨🚨 Urgent Israeli Army Radio: An exceptional event in Israel; most of the missiles are cluster munitions and are falling everywhere. - Israeli Channel 14: The current Iranian attack on Israel is the largest since the beginning of the war.

𝗧𝗢𝗧𝗔𝗟 𝗖𝗥𝗨𝗘𝗟𝗧𝗬. Israeli soldiers assaulted a helpless Palestinian guy with Down syndrome. Crimes against humanity.

@HydroFoundry @macondonauta @allenanalysis Spare us your ignorance. Hezbollah was formed after Israel committed atrocities when they invaded Lebanon in 1982. They have every right to receive whatever aid they need to defend themselves against the IDF.

@macondonauta @allenanalysis Poor innocent Iran. They definitely do not arm Hezbollah.

The President of Iran just published an open letter on X addressed directly to the American people. 860,000 views. 20,000 likes. 6,500 retweets. Read it carefully — not for what it says. For what it doesn’t say.

@Lambertwisdom2 @allenanalysis Laughable when Israel fails all of your requirements. The death penalty based on ethnicity. No IAEA inspections for Israeli nuclear weapons. Omisions on Mosaad proxies in Iran & Israeli funding of ISIS/Islamic State in Syria/Iraq. The biggest Israeli proxy is of course, the USA.

@allenanalysis Spot on, @allenanalysis . The letter makes a strong case for engagement over conflict, but the omissions on proxies, nuclear transparency, and domestic rights are glaring. Real dialogue needs honesty from both sides to avoid repeating history."

@JAYMKTG @allenanalysis That's all good Israeli lapdog talk.

@allenanalysis You have to be the most hapless imbecile alive if you believe this filth coming out of a nation whose entire existence revolves around terrorist activities. Tell me you're retarded without telling me you're retarded.

@Glynis20423909 @BenNephrology @OHCHR_Palestine @AmnestyNow @hrwdispatches @EuroMedHR @AnitaAnandMP No one strangled children on Oct 7. The only thing being strangled here is the truth, by ZIoNazi’s like you.

@BenNephrology @OHCHR_Palestine @AmnestyNow @hrwdispatches @EuroMedHR @AnitaAnandMP Oct 7th atrocities ;are they still being denied? Who strangled innocent children. Should be reporting both sides.

Muhammad was in his final year of medical school in Gaza when he was kidnapped and imprisoned by Israeli military while caring for his patients. Two weeks from his final exams, he begged to be released, so he could live his dream of being a surgeon. The Israeli guard then shot off both his thumbs. Did Canada give Israel the bullets? Watch the press conference demanding an end to Canadas support for Israel's ongoing genocide @AnitaAnandMP @MarkJCarney stop weapon transfers now. End diplomatic relations now.
