Australian media isn’t covering this but what’s happening in Cuba is dreadful. Trump signed an executive order cutting off Cuba’s last oil supply. Ten million people are paying with their lives. Sewage systems are failing, food is rationed, it’s getting worse.

Advance conference 2026: some terrifying agenda setting alongside the strategy sessions.
#Auspol

Cheers to Dave for that title 🀣

I was praised for a calm voice in my writing yesterday (surprised me), but I let rip a bit more in this piece. Let me know if I should stick to my day job.

"Australians cannot begin to understand the Right’s collective shrug at the horrific toll of Israel’s violence without understanding that there is a transnational Islamophobia Industry.
...There is no genocide if Muslims are not understood as fully human."

Powerful right-wing regressive weirdos gather to plot at Atlas-linked conference in Australia - The Shot There is a transnational Islamophobia Industry of massive family foundations and β€œthink tank” operations that have been generating fear and loathing of Muslims since the 1990s.

Here's @lucyham.bsky.social with a great piece of research about the local right-wing establishment social engineering operation occurring of late.

First time I saw The Apprentice, I thought, "Hopefully someday I will be informed of this man's every bruise or skin condition."

The newly amalgamated Adelaide University brings utter shame upon itself in its first months of operation.

In a statement following this shocking act, it risibly claims it is a place where "exchange of ideas can happen freely".

Not if the ideas include a defence of the remaining Gazans, it seems.

It's an affront to our collective intelligence and empathy that indie journalists need to run around proving various bombed schools and hospitals aren't harbouring "terrorists". You should instinctively know that's nonsense and that American and Israeli regimes are FUCKING EVIL

Lol, US military commanders are telling their troops they're on a "spiritual mission" to bring about "Armageddon", and the Zionists have been using their old religious books to justify bombing kids in EIGHT fkn countries, and our media is like "IRAN IS AN UNHINGED THEOCRACY"

Yes, but they have put out some pretty convincing environmental propaganda, and really, isn't that what counts???

a chart showing Australia's greenhouse gas emissions being above the 43% target, and probably going to be above the 62% by 2035 target as well

a chart showing Australia's greenhouse gas emissions being above the 43% target, and probably going to be above the 62% by 2035 target as well

* a chart showing that greenhouse gas emissions for both Anthony Albanese's first fourteen quarters and Scott Morrison's first 15 quarters have been pretty much roughly the same

* a chart showing that greenhouse gas emissions for both Anthony Albanese's first fourteen quarters and Scott Morrison's first 15 quarters have been pretty much roughly the same

- Australia's emissions continue to trend well above the trajectory towards the 2030 target of a 43% reduction (including unreliable land-use data)

- Albanese is 1 quarter away from matching Scott Morrison's tenure; fossil emissions have remained pretty much the same (this excludes land-use data)

We are on our own.

Please talk to everyone in your orbit about what is really going on and how precarious our lives are with Australian involvement in US ISRAELI global empire expansion

Encourage everyone to think about who they want to lead them in the global resource war

Australians are so poorly served by our media, bamboozled into dumbfuckery. Please, in your day to day lives, help people understand what's really happening. Bloodthirsty pro-war propaganda, both subtle (ABC) and frothy,l (everyone else) is going to drown out truthful reporting.
