Exclusion. Humiliation. Death. And the end of sport as we knew it.

Oh gee, another coincidonk!!
Just after Indonesia says ‘NO’ to US military flight access over Indonesian territory, guess what, US funded student groups start up street riots again.
Just like clockwork.
This time the theme colour is YELLOW — for this latest in orchestrated US-sponsored Colour Revolutions!
Watch for more reporting of the ‘chaos’ in Indonesia, until the US gets its own way and gets its flight access — so it can squeeze the Malacca Strait closed to choke Chinese trade.

If you believed in religion, you may think that God is sending an ominous message to a debauched and diabolical nation.
Fight night energy is taking over DC.

Before we all drop our bundles to support @Socceroos in the @FIFAWorldCup, it’s worth thinking a little about what the tournament stands for—and if we should boycott it.
Exclusion, humiliation, death — and the end of sport as we knew it.

The world won’t come back from this until those responsible are made to take account, and the victims are able to find peace.
This is an open wound in the West that is now gangrene and rancid.
The only cure is justice.

The claimed descendants of the people that killed Jesus in Palestine are slaughtering his followers today in Lebanon, WB and Gaza.
Jesus called them the synagogue of Satan.
⛔️ This Christian pastor in Lebanon, his wife, and daughters were murdered by the IDF, and their church destroyed. Do you stand with Israel in its crimes against the Christian Church in Lebanon ?‼️‼️

Why are you fine with an entire foot made of flesh, but a single metal spike is too much? The only possible explanation is that you have a seething hatred of metal. It can't possibly be that you object to a foreign object being violently forced into a region where it does damage.
Why are you fine with the existence of approx 50 Islamic nation-states, but the single Jewish one is apparently too many?
You people are so dumb you don’t even realize how loudly and often you tell on yourselves.

When our political-media establishment chant "stand with Ukraine", it means boycotting diplomacy and finance the kidnapping of Ukrainian men to use them in a campaign to weaken Russia as a strategic rival. If the majority of Ukrainians had a say, there would not have been a regime change in 2014, the 2015 Minsk agreement would have been implemented, the 2019 peace platform would not have been reversed, the 2022 Istanbul agreement would have been signed, and there would now be negotiations about the pan-European security architecture. However, the US and EU run Ukraine, and men are hunted on the streets to fight to the last Ukrainian in NATO's proxy war.

John Lyons casts serious doubt on Donald Trump’s claim that he’ll strike a deal & stop attacking Iran, warning this is the 32nd time he has promised to end the war. 🙄
“I think it’s 32 times he said that. There is scepticism here, even at the White House.”💥 #auspol #IranWar

Australia’s housing obsession is one of its greatest weaknesses.
Rising house prices are not a sign of prosperity.
What they actually tell you is that more money is being borrowed from the banking sector to buy homes.
The cause of rising house prices is rising household debt, and that is unproductive.
House prices are now five times more expensive than consumer goods compared to 1970. We should never have allowed that to happen.
Housing should not be an asset.
It is not something you should profit out of. It is something you should live in.
The people who really benefit from rising house prices are real estate agents and property developers, not the families who live in them.
We are paupers living inside castles. Paying a fortune on the mortgage, a fortune on private schools, and out of the remainder, just trying to live.

Hanson is the new Bob Hawke, and her followers are just reasonable Aussies that want to go back to a time of nostalgia in our recent history, right?
They aren’t trying to change the country to a place it’s never been before, are they?

Here’s Neo-Nazi Michael Nelson confirming his allegiance with One Nation just before his embarrassing arrest, while being berated by Victorians. Media should stop protecting Pauline Hanson & ask why her movement attracts this scum.

After fusing its military with Israel, the US is looking to bind American and Israeli intelligence.
That means Australia has bound its military and intelligence to Israel too.
If it’s as illegal as breaking the rules of engagement and genocide as per the Geneva convention and the ICC, it shouldn’t be too hard to repeal one day, right?

BREAKING: Senator Tom Cotton has officially proposed a law that could merge Mossad and the CIA forever, with Section 622 of the Intelligence Authorization Bill making it illegal to suspend intelligence sharing with Israel.
