Prof Jeffrey Sachs, American economist and public policy analyst. Columbia University: "AUKUS is designed to bill the Australian taxpayers and enrich the US military industrial complex. You have been had Australia, sorry to tell you. And your politicians should own up it."

New video explaining how capitalism is maintained through imperialism and the theft of resources from third world countries. This is why the U.S. is always at war and has over 800 military bases worldwide to ensure corporations can keep extracting resources from these countries.
Elon Musk: "I don't believe Africa's poverty is caused by colonialism." Michael Parenti: "The Third World is not poor. It is over exploited.” Capitalism is maintained through imperialism and the theft of resources from third world countries. This is why the US is always at war.

Great to see the government is finally taking action to increase transparency around lobbyists' activities in Parliament House, but we still won't have insight into who they're meeting with and why, and no action on the revolving door between government jobs and lobbying positions. My Clean Up Politics Act would have all lobbyists registered, open Ministerial diaries, and close the revolving door between public office and the private sector. theage.com.au/politics/feder…

Rightwing operatives have registered fake progressive parties to steal votes and funnel preferences to One Nation in Victoria. But there’s a fix already on the table – and Victorians have a chance to get it passed before November. Add your name ✍️ getup.to/K7qxNH5CQe8IG

Let’s stop calling it settler violence. It is settler TERROR. These criminals roam the West Bank with impunity, and the world stays silent.
The horrifying assault on our friend Abu Ayoub in the village of Fakhit, as captured by security cameras. Abu Ayoub is currently hospitalized with a fractured skull after undergoing emergency surgery during the night.

While the usual minions spread new falsehoods about fellow UN experts and me, here is what Israel and its supporters want absolutely you not to see. The body of evidence. Warning: highly disturbing content. youtube.com/watch?v=e3pApprH…

This👇🏼 is EXACTLY why we need lobbying reform & greater transparency over ministerial diaries - things I've been pushing alongside colleagues on the crossbench for years. "In-house lobbyists" (people who work for a company or peak body) should be subject to the same rules and cooling off periods as "third party lobbyists" (people who work for a lobbying firm). Action on these changes are well overdue. skynews.com.au/australia-new…

Just when Trump thought the Epstein files threat was in the rear view mirror, Maggie Habermsn and Jonathan Swan come a knocking on the door of public consciousness again. Their upcoming book ‘Regime Change’ rips of the festering scab that has grown over the open wound of Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The regime are going to find this reporting very difficult to brush off as lies and a hit job. It’s just another in a growing list of damaging political threats Trump is unable to fend off. Thanks to the New York Times for the clip. 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNRcJbgk9/

The expanded criteria for warrantless questioning is so broad it could sweep up activists and community members engaged in legitimate activities with no suspicion of criminality. This looks increasingly like a tool for suppressing dissent.

The Federal Court of Australia has closed ranks behind Zionist judge Michael Lee, saying he did nothing wrong by not disclosing his strong personal bias towards Israel in an academic freedom case (NTEU v University of Sydney) concerning the Zionist regime. Legal advisor Scott Tredwell, of behalf of Chief Justice Debra Mortimer, responding one year after I made an official complaint of judicial misconduct and one week after my latest reminder letter, said in effect. the FCA sees notnhing wrong in Michael Lee’s Israel bias, nor his non disclosure of that bias in a case which concerned alleged “offensive” comments about Israel; In any event the Chief Justice canot remedy a judicial decision If I am concerned I might like to seek leave to appeal to the High Court of Australia the FCA would prefer that the public not be told about this complaint of judicial bias. Scott Tredwell’s full letter can be read in the link below, it confrains a reasonable summary of my original complaint. counter-hegemonic-studies.si…

BREAKING: "Greater Israel" is now marketed in London. Like in Montreal and in New York. Apartheid without borders. P.S. This explains why criticism of Israel is being restricted (and "anti-antisemitism" laws keep appearing). Apartheid is not only a crime. It is a business model.
URGENT: On 14 June, a "Great Israeli Real Estate" event in London will market properties in illegal Israeli settlements — including Gush Etzion, Ma'ale Adumim, Negohot. @ICJP, @PILC and @ELSC have just written to the Met Police War Crimes Team & the Home Secretary and Business and Trade Secretary. This event needs to be cancelled immediately. Here's why it matters 🧵

In Gaza, Israel burned both people and land with white phosphorus while much of the world looked away. Today, the same scenes are unfolding in Lebanon before the eyes of the world, yet meaningful action remains absent.

It’s time for the Federal Police to investigate Australians who are returned Israeli Defense Force soldiers. “Any Australian who has committed war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide must be held to account and face justice. “The international rules-based order must be respected and upheld, and the Australian Government must honour its obligations to bring accountability for perpetrators of these grave crimes. “The impunity must come to an end.” AFP urged to investigate Australians allegedly involved in Gaza genocide pearlsandirritations.com/pos…
