For over two thousand years Christians have been warning us about the antichrist.

When he finally shows up, they vote him into office.

Twice.

West Australia’s politics and media are utterly trapped by the radicalised Right and mining.

Federal Labor sees itself as trapped by this reality.

Remember alleged war criminal Ben Roberts Smith reported Stokes as saying he kept his costly media arm in order to pressure politicians.

Wow - whilst I’m in WA I’m really experiencing the one sided media landscape of The West Australian and Ch 7 everyday thanks to the fam. Katina Curtis….JFHC she gives it a red hot go each day. Here’s some of her handy work last couple of days.

Wonder how 7 will go under Southern Cross Media?? 🤔

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

One of the oldest, dumbest tricks the press has is to depict people they hate as wasteful in luxury over you, you poor little peasant.
Meanwhile out the other side of the new york posts mouth, bezos wasting billions on space bullshit is just fine.

Hate hearing people say they're tired of politics. This is not politics, it's life or death, literally, for the planet and for all of us.

It is terrifying to see how fast America is becoming a new version of the Third Reich.
#Auspol must abandon the fantasy of “shared values” (please, let it be a fantasy 😬). We must disconnect as much as we can, especially Defence. Marles endangers us all by continuing entwined as if US is “normal.”
The US department of Homeland Security has posted imagining 100 million deportations. The US has a population around 340 million, including 42 million people in America born abroad, about a third of whom lack legal status. Many are citizens now. But there are about 235 million white Americans.

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks.

The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Whether it’s the US, Australia or anywhere else,
our 2026 resolution should be to support progressive independent journalism more.

Increasingly, that is where we’ll find quality, integrity and truth.

"The fact that teachers, particularly in US public schools, were more fact based and more likely to show students the history of resistance to the establishment was a problem.

Public school teachers always going to be a target of Right"
Right is particularly terrified of education because of the Civil Rights era. Anti-war and anti-establishment, plus supportive of spreading rights, equality to all, students posed the biggest threat to the power elites.

So this #standuptohate advertising campaign. Did they pick notorious bigots amongst the celebrities selected to try to convey that even the ugliest racists have had enough? Or is it just stupidity?

Pauline Hanson, who never stops ranting about “elites”, is in hot water after failing to declare a ride on Gina Rinehart’s private jet to attend a cooker conference in the US, breaching parliamentary rules requiring declarations of gifts from multibillionaires. 🙄 #auspol

If you have friends open to trying to understand the injustice we see all around us, this speculative fiction novel provides a gripping allegory. The hollowness of the West’s self-aggrandising myths, the exploitation, the fantasy of endless growth, all skewered in a good story.
