“History is best told as a story of organised crime,”

…”people are fundamentally egalitarian but are led to collapses by enriched, status-obsessed elites, while past collapses often improved the lives of ordinary citizens.”

‘Self-termination is most likely’: the history and future of societal collapse

An epic analysis of 5,000 years of civilisation argues that a global collapse is coming unless inequality is vanquished

Leo Puglisi from @6newsau.bsky.social gave evidence to the parliamentary inquiry on the social media age ban - I asked him about the real impacts on young people. This isn't about protection, it's about control. You can't lock kids out of news and social connection and call it safety.

The only people looking at pornography are people who want to look at pornography. Everyone else just moves on.

Pushing for a cease fire so you can look good in a genocide you specifically enabled, at the same time as you’re assaulting your own democracy & waging war on your own cities, is never going to get you a prize for peace. If there’s a prize for hypocrisy and narcissism though, you’ve got a real shot.

Chris Hedges sets out truths about the 'peace plan' that so many western journalists avoid.

Truths that National Press Club members,
especially the ones who have accepted Israeli junkets and drunk the Zionist Kool-Aid,
preferred not to be confronted with? #GazaGenocide #NPC #auspol

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽

Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club.

That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group.

Just utterly unbelievable.

Was all the money and weapons given to Israel also part of the peace effort? Or is all forgiven and forgotten?

We can’t fight the problems if we don’t see the big picture.

Rupert Murdoch has been playing in the Atlas games unofficially, as donor, on Cato board.

Aus figures are integrated, and importing as many of the Project 2025 networks’ merging ideas as they think will fly.

We can’t fend off if blind

I asked if the Government would take steps to stop Australians fighting in the IDF while it is perpetrating a genocide

The Minister says he wishes for peace. What??

The Australian Government gives foreign owned gas corporates our gas for free, so they can export it to Japan who on-sell it for a profit while Australians face shortages.

Now our Resources Minister reckons we are going it for world peace

Any future east coast reservation will have no impact on crucial supply to Asia, the resources minister has assured her Japanese counterparts.
