We all saw the Google Earth footage of Gaza flattened. Netanyahu told Fox News that this happened because Hamas booby-trapped every building. I spent weeks checking that claim against what Israelis said in Hebrew, to each other. There is no doubt that Israel flattened every building to make sure Gazans had nowhere to return to. Here is the proof.

An Israeli spy company has been sneaking it's way into various government agencies, giving access to peoples phones without any authorization of oversight. Be aware of Cellebrite.

The difference between the Vietnam War and the Iran War is that Trump had a plan to get out of Vietnam.

Israel is so evil that simply stating verified facts about things the IDF indisputably did can be presented to an uninformed audience as an antisemitic conspiracy theory solely because it sounds too evil to be true.

This tweet is breathtaking in its weasel-wording, disingenuous bullshit @JasonClareMP
You belong to a government that's hunted and haunted your fellow Australians speaking out against Israel, censoring any and all ideological speech and smearing thousands of good people with your false 'antisemitism' labels.
Your government is responsible for the greatest witch-hunt upon the Australian people in living memory, allowing your own taxpayer funded envoy, Jillian Segal and her cohort of paranoid, mendacious Israel lobbyists, to eradicate free speech, and have artists, academics, journalists, and ordinary Australian people living in fear for their jobs and their physical safety.
Your government’s single-minded zeal to elevate the interests of the Israel lobby above any other Australian’s rights has ironically emboldened racism, created greater resentment against Jewish people and destroyed social cohesion. Yet instead of using the words your government has bludgeoned us with for 3 years now - Israel and antisemitism - now you're suddenly shrinking from the very the words you’ve been holding above Australian’s heads for so long by replacing them with the word ‘racism’ - and you think nobody will notice?
It's too late to change the words now. It's too late to try to slither into an entirely different agenda now and pretend nobody will see it.
You’ve supported a coordinated campaign of fear and censorship against your own people and yet here you are, twisting yourself into knots by pretending that somehow - all of this - all of these millions of dollars and resources and lives that have been spent hunting Australians on behalf of the Israeli government - somehow my fellow Australians, somehow this year’s long witch-hunt is now just about 'racism'.
If it was all about racism, where is our Anti-Racism Envoy? Where is our Royal Commission Into Racism? Where are our anti-racism laws? Where are the anti-racism check cards against the universities and the arts and everything else? "Yes, despite us incessantly and obviously elevating the Israel lobby above any other Australian, it’s really just been about ‘racism’ all along."
It’s not. None of it is. It’s about protecting the interests of a foreign nation, Israel, while you bow to the USA’s demands. You know it. The Australian people know it. At least have the decency to own up to that.

I’ve studied these two and written biographies’ worth of articles on them. They are a unique byproduct of deeply abusive families and an apartheid education system that trained them to believe they were the superior race.
They were also taught to hate people like themselves.
Peter Thiel was a young gay boy in a town & a school that were the last places in the world to use “Heil Hitler” as a greeting. Peter both believes he is superior but also that he is defective. That’s why he’s a dedicated transhumanist. He wants to ESCAPE this world—and himself—by any means necessary.
Elon is the quintessential incel—an asocial nerd with sociopathic, abusive, racist parents. He got put in the hospital for being an asshole at school. He morphed his father’s sci-fi bedtime stories and his apartheid brainwashing into a grandiose delusions of being the emperor of a colony on Mars—white people only.
The result is a messianic malignant narcissist who believes he has the right to enact a eugenics program on the world—“for our own good.” USAID was just the start.
Elon Musk doesn’t think “takers” should vote. He thinks empathy is suicidal. He actively stokes race war.
For Peter and Elon, the emotional compression of both hating everyone who doesn’t look like them AND hating themselves created genocidal monsters—because they there is nowhere to run. They’re trapped in their own private hell and they don’t care who it hurts to escape.
They found each other 30 years ago and started collaborating on the project of burning down American constitutional democracy so they can create a corporate feudalist dictatorship from the ashes. They see human life as dirty, unnecessary, and complicated. They want death—a lot of it.
Erich Fromm, who defined the term “malignant narcissist” would have called them necrophiles. They much prefer machines to people.
The American system not only failed to filter out these extraordinarily evil creatures but actively elevated them to a position of being able to present an existential danger as they do now. That failure is a cross-section of everything that needs to change.
These are the exact people we should never allow to call themselves Americans, much less give them untold billions of our tax dollars to destroy the very systems they used to obtain their obscene hoards of wealth.
We became too tolerant, too weak, and too complacent.
We have to kick this evil out or be swallowed by it. Those are the only two choices.

So this rapist, this crook, this liar, this cheat - this psychopath - admits he doesn’t know a red card in soccer, doesn’t know a foul. But calls the equally corrupt Infantino and gets it overturned.

This is really incredible footage. Very senior Israeli police authorities on the morning of October 7th explicitly calling for the Hannibal Directive to be enacted on “the soldiers who got abducted”.
As we know, it wasn’t only soldiers who got captured that day.
October 7, 2023, early morning, Israel's police command center: "(Strike) Gaza. Break it all apart. Along with the soldiers who got abducted."
In the first hours of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, while conversing with Israel's Police Chief Kobi Shabtai, another senior officer calls to implement the Hannibal Directive, and destroy Gaza along with the Israeli captives. Minister Itamar Ben Gvir later arrives and orders to stop filming the meeting.

*** Update
Today’s mediation - the second - has again failed to bring vexatious legal action against me to a close. This is not a fight I’ll shy away from as there is far too much at stake.
As an Australian and as a journalist I have a responsibility to stand up for our right to criticise a govt engaged in what the UN, most major human rights organisations around the world including in Israel & most genocide scholars, have deemed is a genocide.
Strong criticism of a country being investigated by the ICJ for plausible genocide, whose leaders are wanted by the ICC, is not only warranted, it is necessary.
I have been cognisant of the complexity of geopolitical issues my entire life and cannot resile from the very thing that propels my enquiry - wanting to understand both what is happening and why, including the historical context.
No one should presume they are entitled to hijack our deliberations and conclusions made in good faith, to the best of our ability, and after taking into account the views of all parties to a conflict and stakeholders.
I will not be told what to think, and whether you agree or not with conclusions I have reached on specific issues, I’m sure you wouldn’t stand for it either.
Our government should stand on the right side of history and impose sanctions on Israel, as we did against South Africa. Israel should not be held to a different standard.

I am the Director of Allied Threat Liaison at the Pentagon.
M job is to hold two facts in my hands at the same time, every day, forever, and never let them touch.
Fact one: we tell Israel everything.
Fact two: this week the Defense Intelligence Agency rated Israel a critical espionage threat, the same category we use for Russia, for trying to learn the things we are already telling them.
I keep both facts true. The entire position, in one sentence. I have a corner office for it.
Every morning I send Mossad's liaison a briefing so complete it could be a confession. Troop movements. Our negotiating floor on Iran. The thing the Undersecretary said in the room he thought was quiet. I attach it. I hit send. And then, by 11, I file a counterintelligence report warning that Israel is aggressively attempting to obtain the exact document I emailed their station chief with a read receipt at 9:04.
People ask how Israel could possibly be spying on us when we hand them the material voluntarily. I want to be honest with you. It is not a contradiction. It is the product. If they only knew what we gave them, the relationship would be a friendship, and friendships do not have a budget line. The spying is what makes it a relationship. The spying is what gets renewed.
I have a filing cabinet. In the top drawer is Jonathan Pollard, 1985, a Navy analyst who handed Israel a room full of our secrets. Below him is Israel's formal apology, 1987, beautiful, "never again," signed. I have read it forty times. Below that is the 1995 memo where the Pentagon called Israel a non-traditional adversary and then swore it never wrote that down. Below that is this week, where the DIA made Israel a critical threat and three days later we approved the next aid package, and I filed the approval one drawer down from the apology, and the drawers do not know about each other. I make sure the drawers do not know about each other. Also the job.
There was an agreement in 1951. The CIA and Mossad shook hands. We would not spy on them. They would not spy on us. I keep the original in a frame. It is the funniest object I own. I show it to new hires and I watch their faces and I know within four seconds whether they will last.
The ones who say "but this is insane" do not last. The ones who say "so who at the embassy do I email the briefing to" get the corner office.
Here is what I have learned in twenty years of holding two facts apart with my bare hands. Washington does not want the contradiction solved. A solved contradiction is a closed file. A closed file is a smaller agency. Nobody in this building has ever been promoted for ending something.
So I send Mossad the briefing. I file the warning on Israel. I rate the ally a critical threat. I approve the aid. I accept the apology I have already filed forty times, and I slide it into the drawer above the renewal, and I keep the two facts from ever touching, because the day they touch is the day I find out which one was real, and I have built an entire life, a pension, a parking spot, on never finding out.
Israel is our closest ally.
Israel is our highest threat.
Both checks cleared.
You were never paying for security. You were paying me to keep the drawers from knowing about each other.
And the cabinet is full now.
So we are buying a bigger cabinet.

Brilliant piece from Pearls and Irritations. Finally, someone in Australia is saying out loud what the rest of us have been watching for the past five years
Let's be clear about what AUKUS actually is: the greatest military protection racket in modern history. Washington looked at its own crippled submarine industrial base—17 boats short, yards choking, Congress screaming—and found the perfect mark. A wealthy, eager, insecure middle power with a bipartisan fetish for great-power relevance and a defense minister who treats strategic questions like a classified state secret
The deal? Australia pays half a trillion dollars. In return, it gets used Virginia-class hand-me-downs—Block IV boats with a decade of wear already on the hulls, probably smelling faintly of its previous crew
Even more intriguing, the article confirms for what this overpriced second-hand Australian "sovereign" nuclear submarine fleet is actually for:
Hunting Chinese Jin-class and Type 096 SSBNs. Not to protect Sydney Harbour. Not to secure Australia's trade routes. To find, track, and if ordered, destroy the Chinese nuclear submarines that threaten continental America!
That's the job. That's the whole job. Australia just committed A$368 billion to be the US Navy's underwater security guard!
The comedy of "sovereign capability" is almost too rich. Sovereign? The reactors are American. The combat system is American. The weapons are American. The fuel is American. The intelligence feed is American. The maintenance schedule is American. Permanently tethering Australia to U.S. software, maintenance, and logistics, effectively ending any "sovereign" capability. The only thing Australian is the taxpayer—and the Prime Minister standing in front of a camera calling this independence
Australia is not buying a submarine; it is buying a node in a U.S. sensor network. The acquisition deeply integrates Australia into the U.S. military command structure, making Australia a tool for U.S. strategic objectives in the Indo-Pacific — while a massive amount of Australian wealth is transferred into the U.S. military-industrial complex
And the timing is exquisite. Washington just added another half-trillion to its own defense budget while Australia is told to hit 3.5% of GDP. America gets the money, the boats, the basing rights at HMAS Stirling, and a Pacific ASW auxiliary. Australia gets the bill, the dependency, and the warm fuzzy feeling of being taken seriously by the adults.
The U.S. 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS) emphasizes "burden-sharing among allies" and "realist diplomacy." This submarine deal is the perfect execution of that strategy: the U.S. maintains its military overmatch against China by essentially "outsourcing" the financial cost of undersea surveillance to Australia 🤡
Paul Keating called this three years ago. He was mocked, of course. The press club gasped. The security establishment rolled its eyes. But he was right then, and this article proves he's right now. It is worse than he thought. It's not that AUKUS is of little military benefit to Australia. It's that AUKUS is of negative military benefit to Australia—actively diverting resources from actual defense needs toward a capability designed for someone else's homeland

The President of the United States is asleep at his desk. Again.
Behind him stand seven grown adults in expensive suits, and not one of them is doing anything about it. One is mid-sentence. Another is gazing sideways with the haunted look of a man whose pension depends on never acknowledging what he can see in his peripheral vision.
The rest of the world is watching, and the rest of the world has noticed something. Americans are terrified of authority. That fear has settled over this administration like a fog, and it turns otherwise functional adults into warm furniture. Nobody moves. Nobody speaks. The paralysis is total.
In any European parliament, in any boardroom from Oslo to Ljubljana, someone would have leaned over by now. Tapped a shoulder. Said, quietly but clearly, that perhaps this isn’t the moment. Somebody would have done something, because the alternative, pretending a sleeping man is running a meeting, would have been too absurd to sustain.
Not here. Here, seven men have collectively decided that the correct professional response to the President losing consciousness in the Oval Office is to carry on as though he were a particularly demanding houseplant.
