Don’t know if this alleged post from Trump is genuine 👇

Don’t fall for the lie !

Defending countries in the Middle East is just the pretence for mobilising military assets to the conflict.

“The point is Gough Whitlam was a giant, a maverick. Albo is a political flea, an unprincipled flea at that, who represents the ‘roll back’ times begun by Reagan and Thatcher. He is a Thatcher, a Blair, a Bush, a Morrison, all in one.” - John Pilger.

Israeli ambassador says it’s ‘mind-boggling’ to question legal basis for war on Iran Israel’s new ambassador says Australia was on the “right side of history” by backing strikes against Iran as he warned against calls for a ceasefire.

"Israel’s new ambassador to Australia says it is mind-boggling anyone would question the legality of the US-Israeli strikes against Iran"

it is mind-boggling that this propagandist for a genocidal apartheid rogue state is cited as an authority on international law.

Hegseth keeps saying we are untouchable and invincible and we have total dominance so I don’t know how this could happen.

Quite.
But subservience to the U.S. occurred before Trump entered politics. In Australia’s enthusiasm to cast off the yoke of a British colony it has eagerly adopted the U.S. imperialist yoke in its place. Wittingly or otherwise. Once politicians succumbed, Australian sovereignty was surrendered.

News live: Greens senator David Shoebridge says Australia is ‘part of an illegal war’ as PM confirms Australians on US submarine Follow the latest updates live

Hey @australia.theguardian.com -
why the journalistic cop-out of "Shoebridge says..."?

What's the evidence say?
Every international law expert would agree with the Senator.

Your story should be focused on government deceit and a complicit opposition. #auspol

An inability to distinguish between cause and consequence is an ever-present characteristic of both social media commentary and media “journalism” in Australia; together with an inability to separate the most significant from the least.
As evidenced by this discussion.

The role played by Pine Gap is far more substantial and significant in the Zionist-US war against Iran than the role played by 3 sailors on a training assignment. Get a sense of proportion and pick on the real issues.

It’s middle-management administration with the sole objective of not losing his job title; when what we need (and want) is a leader with a vision and a spine who will not be corrupted by lobbyists.

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

This private school tripled in size in five years — a trend playing out nationwide The latest schools data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows a tinderbox of problems that experts warn could explode with growing pressure on household budgets.

Under a Labor cabinet of majority private school graduates the private school sector is growing faster than ever, with insane levels of public funding for elitist, for profit & religious indoctrination schools.

Labor - for an unfair Australia.

It’s 1953. Iran looked like any Western country
Rock’n’roll, open universities.
They elect a secular socialist: Mossadegh.
He nationalizes oil. That pisses off BP.
CIA & MI6 stage a coup
Mossadegh overthrown
They install the Shah, a brutal US-backed dictator.
Secret police. Torture chambers. etc.

Adelaide University cancels literary festival event with UN Gaza investigator Francesca Albanese Festival organisers criticise the university for last-minute booking cancellation of event headlined by special rapporteur for Palestinian territories

Adelaide Uni - Academic freedom, freedom of speech!

Francesca Albanese - Great, let's discuss human rights, war crimes, and genocide.

Adelaide Uni - Oh, not that much freedom. Cancelled, soz.

Genuinely pathetic and embarrassing cowardice.

The Albanese Government's case for crackdown on FOI fell apart when it became clear that there is no "flood" of FOI requests.

Case load is about the same as 20 years ago. The extra costs and delays are a result of FOI officers spending their time trying to block access and censor documents.

A high‑resolution overhead view of a rocky, desert‑like landscape on Mars. The surface is mostly reddish‑brown with patches of darker blue‑grey tones. Many circular impact craters of different sizes are scattered across the scene, some with raised rims and shadowed interiors. Subtle ridges, eroded valleys, and textured terrain patterns run diagonally through the image, giving a sense of ancient geological activity. The overall impression is of a dry, rugged, and heavily cratered Martian surface.

Vintage circus-style political poster showing Anthony Albanese depicted as a ventriloquist’s dummy with puppet strings. Donald Trump sits behind him as the ventriloquist, while Benjamin Netanyahu appears above controlling Trump like a puppet master. The headline reads “Behold… The Grovelling Gutless Wonder,” with a starburst listing “Capitulates on command! Questions never asked! Spine not included!”

I was waiting with bated breath for the amphibious alien reptiles to emerge from the ocean the morning after a blood moon.

Living near the ocean I thought I’d be one of the first to be taken and wouldn’t have to witness the horrors that would follow.

I’ll never forgive trump.

Under AUKUS and the “ force posture agreement” we are paying for and providing public housing in WA for US marines who are being indoctrinated into this dangerous religious garbage! At the same time disadvantaged Australians are homeless, couch surfing, or living in cars or tents

"Senator Wong again brushed off questions about the legality of the strikes, insisting that question was a 'matter for Israel and the US'."

She's had four days.
If this is still the best Wong can do, it's clear that she, Albanese & Marles are flunkies for the Trump and Netanyahu regimes. #auspol

The fact that Trump and his band of fascists still can't get their stories straight as to why they attacked Iran makes it all the more gobsmacking and absolutely pathetic that Albo and Wong jumped in so quickly to support it.
