There’s a strategy followed by oligarchs worldwide when they are caught out. Alan Bond , Rupert Murdoch and Weinstein revert to feeble old men who buy their way out of trouble. Is this their legal advice then what does it say about justice and the legal systems we operate under. Trump’s jailed co-conspirators were just lackeys he promised to protect but didn’t.(ODT)

Madrid: Business and political leaders are misleading the public by holding negotiations that are not leading to real action against warming temperatures, which she referred to as a climate emergency, teen climate activist Greta Thunberg says.
“The real danger is when politicians and CEOs are making it look like real action is happening, when in fact almost nothing is being done, apart from clever accounting and creative PR,” the Swedish 16-year-old said on Wednesday in a speech at the plenary of the ongoing UN climate talks in Madrid, or COP25.

However, company profits are surging and 30% of companies aren’t paying any Company Tax. These are the fundamentals Frydenberg calls good and resilient. The surge is on the backs of wages and the battle to stop unions growing. Revenue is reliant on tax cuts and a prayer.

Turns out the IG Report made public today concludes that the FISA warrants and investigation into the activities of Carter Page were NOT “politically biased” and were instead legitimate investigations (which, by the way, netted 37 indictments from the Trump campaign including Trump’s campaign manager Paul Manafort and his personal fixer/attorney Michael Cohen, both in jail).

Trump ignored the report’s conclusions and reiterated a baseless claim of victimhood.
“It’s a disgrace what’s happened with respect to the things that were done to our country,” he said at the White House. “It should never again happen to another president. It is incredible, far worse than I ever thought possible, and it’s an embarrassment to our country, it’s dishonest.”
In instant response to the president’s remarks, Frank Figliuzzi, a former FBI assistant director, told the MSNBC network: “We are officially living in an alternate reality. I have the IG report in my hand. I can assure you the president hasn’t read it and is lying about it.”

History of Guns and White men (ODT)
The N.R.A. has supported ‘stand your ground’ deadly force laws which encourage racial violence, and opposed all gun restrictions; it has promoted a reinterpretation of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution – on the people right to keep and bear arms – to provide for a nearly unlimited individual right to bear arms.
The United States is a nation where white men have lived and died by the gun. The gun facilitated the genocide of the Native people and the enslavement of American people, and allowed white people to steal land and seize control. Take away the gun, and society begins to chip away at the myth of ‘white supremacy’.

It’s the dryness in the air that’s stretched out Australia’s fire season to the once-unimaginable edges of spring. On Saturday I went out to Gunning, in central NSW, for a wedding on a family sheep station. The town is one – like 99.8% of NSW – that since the year began has experienced drought.

When warmongers become politicians all they know is mongering more war rather than self reflection on why they are assisting in the failure of Democracy. (ODT)
The chairman of Parliament’s joint committee on intelligence and security, Andrew Hastie, says Western nations must wage their own political warfare campaigns “to preserve peace and avoid war” and stop rival authoritarian states from undermining democracy.
“We have returned to an era of great power competition, even constant conflict,” he told Whitehall think tank the Royal United Services Institute.
“The challenge for us in the West is that the character of that competition, being conducted by authoritarian opponents, is attacking our way of life and our freedom in a manner that is remarkably difficult to defeat without undermining the very freedoms we seek to protect.”
