NSW Labor Must Ditch Chris Minns
Complacency is the destroyer of safe governments. Though through a complete lack of opposition, Chris Minns Labor government are safe, his total disregard for Labor voters is a peril. Seemingly obsessed with representing any one but Labor on any issue, being a knee-jerk rash decision maker, with...
-
Anthony Albanese - The Deflon Don
Deep into Australian Prime Minister, Don Albanese's second term in office, the media still can't lay a glove on him. The best they've had this last month is Kylie-gate and Melon-gate - it's embarrassing.

How Hubris Destroyed The Sydney Swans
Australian AFL team, Sydney Swans have disproved the adage, no such thing as bad press, after being embroiled in a sex and drugs scandal. How Hubris (an overreaching, overconfident and arrogant belief in your own power and ability, can lead to reckless decisions destroying your life) brought them...
-
Pauline Hanson Has Always Been Anti-Women
Recent comments claiming domestic violence was a two-way street, by Australia's lord and savior, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, drew condemnation but unless the word "trans" is involved, Pauline has always been anti-women.
-
Jillian Segal And the Farcical Royal Commission on Antisemitism
It was billed as an investigation on antisemitism, but antisemitism has barely been mentioned, instead the Roal Commission has focused near solely on attacking opponents of genocide and supporters of Palestine. It has also shone a terrifying light on the wish list of the Israel lobby that has…

Las Malvinas: The Falklands Are British
The sovereignty of The Falkland Islands has blown up again recently but Argentina's claim for the overseas British territory fails at the first hurdle - when are they giving Argentina back?
-
Why Count Binface Will Beat Nigel Farage and Destroy Reform UK
Poor, poor NIgel Farage thought he had it all covered in his attempts to avoid corruption scrutiny, and then the biggest own goal in UK political history. Two massive reasons why he will lose to the public's galvanised hero. Because he's the hero Clacton deserves, but not the one it needs right...
-
Why I am Calling the Victorian Election For Labor
I love calling election results a long way out and have a strong track record of getting it right, this one though is a very risky pick, as all prevailing wisdom says Labor will lose in November. They've been in power too long, have lost an iconic leader and the press have trashed them for years....
-
King Boofhead: The Karl Stefanovic Story
After a lifetime of falling upwards and hanging out with CEO's, Karl is now reborn as a working class hero who tells it like it is, or something.
-
FIFA World Cup Must Stop Hydration Breaks
FIFA has tried for years to ruin football by monetising every last thing they can, but material changes to Football are unacceptable. The much derided "hydration" TV advert breaks split the two half game into four quarters. Now we are getting into important games - this will have an unprecedented...
-
Anthony Albanese is the Most Intelligent Political Operator of His Era
He isn't knee-jerk, doesn't chase the 24hr news cycle, isn't afraid of his own shadow, always plays the long game, has superb timing and lets the world catch up to him. I have faith he is waiting to destroy AUKUS at the right moment.
-
SpaceX is the Biggest Ponzi Scheme in World History
The world's least cool and most cringe inducing man, Elon Musk, is brilliant at selling shares in companies that struggle to make profits. Even compared to Tesla, SpaceX is a doozy worthy of a monorail salesman. Never made a profit, loses billions, never going to make a profit, but worth a…

Reform UK and One Nation Setting the Streets on Fire
With Belfast the third Reform UK riots in recent years and Australia's corporate news media desperate for it to happen in Australia, a look at a story as old as time. How the wealthy elite deflect attention from them screwing every one else over, by co-opting and astro-turfing grass roots rage…

From FIFA to Trump: The Worst World Cup Ever
FIFA have been destroying football from within for years and have reached a half-time show style apex with this insanely, punitively expensive World Cup. Meanwhile the attention seeking narcissist in chief, Trump will seek to plaster himself all over every inch of it and the most multicultural...

For Gods Sake Ignore Opinion Polls
Ignore every opinion poll not three months out from an election and you will instantly know more about politics or who will win the next election. Opinion pollsters are businesses that cannot say the poll is the same for three years straight, no one would buy it, they have to provide intrigue…

The Budget: Albo and Chalmers become Labor Heroes
Australian PM Anthony Albanese continues to amaze me with his political intelligence. He and his treasurer have managed to take on the holy sacrament of actual fair economic reform, that has destroyed and terrified Labor for so many years and won. The timing - with zero effective opposition, is...
-
Have the Israel Lobby Made Antisemitism a Badge of Honour?
A 68 year old man in Sydney has been charge with wearing a swastika t-shirt, in front of the Royal Commission into Antisemitism. In the past this would have been a Neo-Nazi, but this seems to have (unconfirmed but more likely) been a Palestinian supporter. Given the supporters of Israel are going...

Keir Starmer Has Killed the UK Labour Party
After the atrocious but expected Labour performance in the recent council elections, laid bare even the Labour voter's disdain for this feckless, spineless, judgementaly challenged faux Tory Blairite Zionist, he is toast. But as he and his gang expelled all true Labour people from the party, he's...

Reform UK! Stunning Election Victory!
Brexit architect Nigel Farage's merry band of posh Tory working class hero grifters have won a stunning victory in the UK's local council elections. What actually happened and what it all means.
-
Pauline Hanson and One Nation - Victory in Farrer
Queen Pauline wins and its a real threat to Labor how they keep taking votes from the Liberal party. For some reason. A big weekend for the populist right, what with Reform UK's massive success in the local elections there, but the two scenarios are very different.
-
The Eurovision Song Contest: Israel, Genocide Washing and Cheating
It never ceases to amaze me how entire events will destroy themselves willingly for the Israel lobby. Even with five member nations boycotting the competition, they still wont budge on Israel's participation, and it's all anyone will talk about - alongside the industrial scale cheating that could...
-
Why I Won't Vote For Chris Minns Again
Well there are many reasons, but one deal breaker, which for many left or progressive voters is a Rubicon they will no longer cross.

Trump is The Anxiety of the World
Every. Single. Day.
-
Are All America's Wars, Israel's Wars?
The current catastrophic Iran war is certainly for Israel, and for the last thirty years America's wars massively focused on the Middle East but were they all fought for Israel? Well, no, but there is an astonishing uptick in turning that into a yes.
-
When Did Andrew Hastie Get So Based?!
Everyone's favorite onward Christian MAGA, West Australian MP Andrew Hastie, was all set to be the most blindly Trumpy - and religious - Liberal party leader yet, but since Angus Taylor took that role, he has behaved bizarrely against type. Standing up for a hate speech bill that cost him the...
-
The Decline and Fall of the Israel Lobby
After decades of peddling influence from the shadows, the events post the October 7th massacre have thrust the Israel lobby into the spotlight. And while they still wield enormous - and illegal - power over Western governments and news media, they have lost the third and most important component...

How Iran Won the War
And other stories.
-
Poor Pauline Hanson! The Disaster of One Nation and South Australia
Despite the best efforts of our media and the world's bot farms, Pauline Hanson and One Nation have so far failed to win a single seat in South Australia, whilst Labor posted an all time record victory. However they try to spin it, they touted this as One Nation becoming the opposition party and...
-
Iran War: The Disgrace of Anthony Albanese and Penny Wong
Though Australia hasn't joined the illegal Israeli/American war with Iran, they are getting perilously close, whilst paying lip service to the aggressors talking points. Joining this maniacal yet-another Middle-Eastern war is a red line for most Labor voters - do so and I will never vote for you...
-
Iran War: Israel May go Nuclear
A round up of everything at this stage in this wildly misreported and misrepresented, 100% illegal war of aggression from Israel and their client state, the USA. How things are going much worse than reported and how that will open the door for the use of nuclear weapons from Israel.
-
4th Division Angus Taylor
Now that the Australian Liberal Party has got rid of its woman problem, by ousting Sussan Ley (see this channel a year ago for that prediction...) they are free to keep churning through their mighty talent-puddle of leaders. Now we are down to 4th tier Angus Taylor, who for some reason resembles…

Reform UK Are Finished
How do you brand yourselves as maverick outsiders to the two party system, when all your MP's are ex-Conservative party members?
-
War With Iran
The world destabilizing push for war with Iran - which looks very likely - is at the behest of the worst faith Israeli and American actors, and has sucked a lot of well meaning people in.
-
Ten Reasons Why Pauline Hanson and One Nation Will Never Get Elected
Much like its ompletely authentic counterpart, Reform UK, Pauline Hanson's current polling success is an overseas bot driven, foreign funded sham. That doesn't mean the publicity wont get her minions votes, but her bigger problem is #BotsDontVote

Jeffrey Epstein and the Elephant in the Room
About four years ago on my YouTube channel, I got my one and only take-down (out of about 500 videos). I posted that the then convicted Ghislaine Maxwell was not the story. I wondered how I could get a 90 day strike for cyber-bullying and harassment. 1. How do you cyber-bully and harass a dead...
-
Isaac Herzog: The Israeli President Visits Australia
What is going on with Australia hosting the president of a country committing genocide? Is Albanese playing 4d chess again? It will certainly be the lightning rod to re-igniting pro-Palestinian protests.
-
All Hail King Albo!
Australia's Labor prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has broken with the tumultuous turnover of the Aussie politics. Finally we have an intelligent, calm, measured and thoughtful leader, always playing the long game and never prone to knee jerk response. He spent a month copping flak from all…

The Fake Rise of Queen Pauline Hanson and One Nation
Australia's eternal grifter, Pauline Hanson, is enjoying another press pushed stint in the sun. Despite the UK/USA style attempt to promote this political parasite, MAGA is the most toxic political brand in the country.
-
American Civil War: The ICE Shooting of Alex Pretti
MAGA don't have a single sacrosanct belief they haven't flipped on, not even the hallowed second amendment. They are the embodiment of Orwell's words, The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. The Gas-lighters of the world.
-
When Did MAGA Become Bootlickers for the Establishment?
You know MAGA are a cult because they have reversed position on almost everything they once held sacrosanct. It's been a wild story arc to get to child trafficking, foreign wars for oil, federal rights over state, free speech attacks - all apparently okay now. But when did these free thinkers...

Venezuela or Trump: A few Truths
We all thought Trump would stop short of global conflict to distract from the Epstein files, we were wrong. A few truths about the twenty-five year push from the USA to overthrow the DEMOCRATICALLY elected government of the world's largest proven oil reserves - Venezuela.

Is the Anthony Albanese a Genius Playing 4d Chess With the Israel Lobby?
For once in my life I'm genuinely proud of the person who runs the country, he's measured, thoughtful and seemingly possesses good judgement. But is he actually even more intelligent than I gave him credit for? The common media consensus is the push for a post Bond-massacre royal commission has...

Lets Have a Royal Commision Into the Israel Lobby
After weeks of a foreign nation completely owning our commercial news media and half our nation's politicians, screaming for a hugely pro Israel push for a royal commission into the Bondi Massacre,. it's time to ask who runs Australia.

Heroes and Villains of 2025
My list of the best and worst people of 2025 - including Sydney Sweeney, Anthony Albanese, Eurovision, Virginia Giuffre and more! I cannot believe I was dumb enough to miss off my number one hero of 2025 - Ahmed Al Ahmed - happily this legend needs no introduction.

The Bondi Shooting and the Disgrace of the Australian News Media
In one of the most egregious acts in a history of them, the Australian news media has united to use the national tragedy of the massacre of Jews at Bondi Beach last week, solely to attack the Palestinian rights movement. Antisemitism here is only defined as opposition to Israeli genocide in the...

Why Trump and Epstein Broke Up
Few believe that Jeffrey Epstein's best friend of two decades, Donald Trump, broke up with him over Epstein's behavior towards young girls. Most Know it was over a Palm Beach property deal. Fewer know the juiciest part of this whole story - the accusations of Trump laundering money for Putin...
-
Sussan Ley Vs Jacinta Price AND Andrew Hastie
Six months back I posted how Sussan Ley was only ever an interim manager for Australia's Liberal party, and would be rolled (likely over climate change) for yet another even more populist right wing goon squad. The only thing that's changed is the dim-witted Angus Taylor has been replaced by…

Are Trans Rights Dragging Gay Rights Down?
I can't think of more successful activism in the last thirty-years than gay rights, which came from the notion understanding a group of people opposed to you today, could be allies tomorrow. Trans rights has been dominated by modern punitive activism, that has put many offside. Is the constant...
