Chris Hedges: The Politics of Cultural Despair
The fascist trend in America’s politics portends a lasting erosion of the underpinnings of the ties which have bound Australia to its most important ally and provides a powerful reason for us to loosen these ties.
The post mortem of this disaster will be long, bloody and it will stink like the rotting corpse of American democracy.
Trump Mark II: Chaos personified
DONALD TRUMP |
Palestinian journalists have recorded atrocity after atrocity after atrocity.
Inevitably, they do this until they are murdered by Israel. Their timeline goes dark and a universe dies alongside a piece of the truth.
No one can say they didn’t know: Israel is ethnically cleansing Gaza
Some days it’s hard to say which is more horrific: the Gaza genocide itself, or the moral decay throughout our society which makes it possible.
contrary to the usual jibe of ‘anti-Semitism’ which is directed against opponents of Zionism, it is the anti-Semites themselves who are the best friends of Zionism. Indeed it was leading Nazis who were most fulsome in support of Zionism, because they both shared the belief that Jews did not belong in Germany.
It prompted Ben Gurion to have the German Nazis forcefully export 60,000 wealthy German Jews to Palestine save Hitler from bankruptcy due to a mutually profitable trade agreement signed with the Zionists
Record numbers step out to vote in the US election while PM Netanyahu fires his defence Minister and protesters gather in Tel Aviv. Israel continues to bombard hospitals and schools in Gaza and homes in Southern Lebanon and Dr. Gabor Maté guides his audience on the truths of Oct 7.
Activists are hailing this a victory for a popular boycott of the French multinational retailer that is deeply complicit in Israel’s crimes against the Palestinian people.
Describing the US starvation of Cuba’s economy in abstract terms like “economic crisis” provides cover for deliberate policy decisions by the US government. By reporting on the embargo only as something that the Cuban government claims, it is easy for readers to dismiss that explanation as simply a Communist excuse. Instead of asking why the United States is choosing to enforce a crippling sanctions regime on another country, outlets like the New York Times find it easier to repeat the line that Cuba’s government has only itself to blame for its problems.
When Lights Go Out in Cuba, Media Blame Communism—Not US Sanctions
What do people in Gaza, West Bank and Lebanon think about the US election?
“We are seeing a lot of these more radical, aggressive and utterly unethical campaigning techniques migrate from the US into Australia in recent times, so it’s critical that we as a nation learn from the danger of mis- and disinformation and address the need for ethical and just campaigning.”
Monash expert: ‘Fake’ news, misinformation and why it influences us during elections
The weapons of war; bombs, guns, land mines, and all the other ‘essentials’ are supplied by major western countries; the USA, Britain, France to mention just a few, and yes, Australia is in that list, a smaller economy, a smaller supplier, but supplier of the means of indiscriminate killing nonetheless.
US had provided about $20 Billion in weaponry to Israel and about $1 Billion in aid to Palestinians in Gaza. I imagine that proportion would be similar for other countries helping out in that war.
Recent reports of US B-2 bombers using Australian assistance to attack targets in Yemen brings into focus the increased use of Australian assets to assist US military operations, and with it a set of questions about who authorises these missions, and more importantly, who denies them.
bipartisan support exists for Washington’s Israeli genocide; they clearly have no idea about what they are doing or seem to care. It’s that they are selling out our future for nothing in lieu of any good ideas. AUKUS lies in tatters as our sudden, overcomplicated and unnecessary entanglement with Washington & leaves us with limited options moving forward. It all seems so ridiculous and unnecessary and lazy.
Why has Australia assisted in a US bombing mission to the Middle East?
