Just watched Albanese Press Conference in Canberra. The « journalists » were keen to identify all the world leaders who had called Albo re Labor’s election win. NOT ONE QUESTION about any contact from China!!! Were they all sworn off any discussion of China - or are they simply incompetent?

This reporter was previously the Australian Broadcasting Corporations China correspondent. His reporting even back prior to 2016 was notoriously anti-China. abc.net.au/news/stephen-m…

Exit Polls showed that US voters themselves ranked “Foreign Policy” at a lowly 4% in their issues of importance. The US is by far the most destructive force for evil globally. Most of the US populace either do not know this, do not believe this - or just do not care. US diplomacy - speak softly but carry a big stick. The “shining light on the hill”? What bullshit.

@YouAreLobbyLud That’s evident in some of the comments I’ve read online. A good leader brings out the best in people; a bad leader empowers the worst of human nature.

In regard to the havoc wreaked by the US, their voters either do not know, do not believe or do not care…

The United States promotes war, death and destruction around the world, leveraging off its 800 globally-distributed military bases. It was therefore interesting that Exit Polls consistently showed “Foreign Policy” as ranking a lowly 4% in importance to US voters.

Israeli leaders butcher civilians as the Nazis did to their people Americans elect an idiot. The decline of two nations I once held dearly.

Trump appealed to the lowest common denominator - and they voted for him.

The United States has a plethora of “defence” treaties spanning the world. Most allow the US to establish hundreds of heavily armed military bases. China has one defence treaty - with North Korea. It has only one overseas military base, in Djibouti, established under UN auspices. The US has clearly become a highly aggressive war-mongering bully, causing continuous death and destruction around the globe.

Is @SenatorWong shielded by her Comms team from such heart-breaking realities for children in Gaza (& Lebanon.)???

Since 2000, the Chinese have built about 10,000 km of railways, 100,000 km of highways, 1,000 bridges, close to 100 ports and over 60,000 km of power distribution lines in Africa. US and France used the same time to bomb Libya, Somalia and to set up over 20 military bases🫴

“The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” Israel bombed yet another Gaza school last night - killing 84 Palestinians - 50 children… Why are the good men doing nothing? Are there no good men left?

@peterp772000 @commiepommie The disinformation is yours. China is not based on Marxism. Maybe it tried to be so, but this is 2024 and even a cursory look at how China works today shows how dopey the 'Marxist' label is. Buggered if I know what history book gave you the 'most violent region in the world' /2

The scandalously accelerated militarisation of Australia, coupled with unbridled support for genocide and war-mongering, emits a stench that Albanese, Marles, Wong and the Labor Party will carry with them forever. Their government MUST be terminated at the next Federal election.

Australia buys $7 billion of US missiles - another huge defence spend without a clear business case - without a timetable - without sovereign control - and without understanding what else we could do with this like - feed, house and care for people. smh.com.au/politics/feder…

We in Australia are in a hopeless situation. Zionism has infiltrated our entire Parliament. Each day the Genocide gets worse and each day @AlboMP and his appalling gov't bows to the war mongering US/UK and Israel. I have never known a time in my life when I have felt so betrayed!

With massive new funding announced by US Congress to fund anti-China misinformation and propaganda, it is worthwhile to reflect on why Australians seem particularly susceptible to its malign influence. johnmenadue.com/why-propaganda…

If you listen to anyone this morning, let it be Gideon Levy. A phenomenal Israeli journalist who has been speaking truth to power for decades. Share his words. Far and Wide.
