After all, what does Australia actually get from being a US ally? And what does it lose in return? The US represents a fading and failing empire of total control. There is a word for that. It is totalitarianism. And there have been, in the past, sufficient examples of such demanding compliance to US wishes,... Continue Reading →
A Wise Move by State of Victoria
As an Australian citizen and resident of Victoria I am very pleased with the steps taken by my State government to nurture relations with China, as described in this Global Times article on the subject.

A Tale of Two Stories
I have some spare time, it's uncomfortably hot outside, it's night time and my usual online gaming platform is on a weekly maintenance schedule for four hours just now but, what the heck!

Australia’s Cognitive Dissonance (What World Do They Think They Actually Live In?)
As an Australian citizen I am constantly bewildered by the antics of my nation's government, which has all the appearances of having gone insane, lost the plot, has a few Kangaroos loose in the top paddock and have been carried away by delusions of their own grandeur.

Refuting a False Accusation
China refutes Australia's accusation of tweeting "fake image" - Xinhuanet Because Australians, and people in other parts of the world, will only ever hear one side of the story - the Western propaganda side - I am sharing this post from Xinhua in full to give China's view of the situation. I find it sickening that... Continue Reading →
Australia, In A Pickle, “Has Only Itself To Blame”
Australia is in a pickle - a quaint old English saying, meaning to be in a situation that is decidedly unpleasant - and, as the article shared in full below says, "has only itself to blame". I am continuing my recent practice of sharing in full, articles I deem to be of significant importance. Purely... Continue Reading →
