Greenland already has US bases and has lots of natural resources.
Australia's Northern Territory already has even more strategically critical US bases and has lots of natural natural resources that are easier to extract.
The traitors in Canberra would sell us out in a nanosec.

Zionism needs to be completely rooted out of Australian society.
It fosters hate and seeks to undermine Australian domestic politics by forcing the will of the Israeli govt on our society.

We'll know any appointment to head a royal commission into so-called anti-semitism is a good one iff they get killed in a road "accident" the day before hearings start.

41C so this bar is full. Apart from the water level - it was up to the brim a couple of hours ago.
(There's another bird bath on the other side of the house, for the smaller birds, as this one has been claimed by the magpies as THEIR "local bar" and they are pretty possessive about it)

I'm not saying the Dove of Peace is anti-semitic, but Clover Moore seems to know that the Dove of Peace is unacceptable to Zionists.

Getting rid of capital gains tax discount for the richest 10% of Australian households would let the government put dental in Medicare and have billions left over. It costs even more than JobSeeker.

You all remember the story you were told as kids about when Moses ordered his buddies to slaughter family members just because they thought and spoke in a way he didn't like, they liked a calf statue? Don't act surprised Segal is attacking our free speech.

There's still pav left over. But as it's brunch, and made of eggs and dairy, whipped up and cooked, with a fruit garnish, I'm calling it a dessert omelette. And that's healthy. Yep. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Dutch Counter-Terrorism agency "Threat Assessment of State Actors 2025" includes Israel as a threat to Dutch society.

I've collected the sections about the threats of Israel I found with a quick look onto one page.
Will ASIO be as honest?

Minns efforts at distraction, best explained by refusing the extra police to Bondi that the Jewish community requested, despite risk assessed as high, junior cops sent there told only to patrol intermittently, with what is indistinguishable from a deliberate blind eye and cause to ask "cui bono"

Any politician who says that a couple of years ago they couldn't predict jewish holocaust scholars would call what Israel is doing a genocide is unfit to be in our parliament because that are (a) a liar, or (b) telling the truth and too stupid to see into our future let alone determine it.

A gas betrayal. King plan favours foreign buyers, gas cartel over mums and dads - Michael West
The Government’s Gas Reservation Policy is nothing short of a betrayal. They claim it will put downward pressure on gas and electricity prices. It won’t.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.
I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

Good, if the kids are getting a masterclass in subversion, it's exactly what they need to survive under an ever more oppressive government, and perhaps, perhaps, do enough to salvage a little democracy and freedom for all of us.
