  • Children in Police Watch Houses: A Nasty Queensland Experiment

    They really are a brutal lot.  While the Queensland Labor Government croons on matters regarding rights, liberties and, it should be said, the plight of the First Nations Peoples, its policy, notably on youth detention, is a contradictory abomination.  This situation finds itself repeated across the country, though the Sunshine State, as it is sometimes […]

    The Saudis picked us up from the detention center in Daer and put us in a minibus going back to the Yemen border. When they released us, they created a kind of chaos; they screamed at us to “get out of the car and get away.” … this is when they started to fire mortars […]

  • The Next Crisis Is Anyone’s Guess, But the Government Is Ready to Lockdown the Nation

    The Next Crisis Is Anyone’s Guess, But the Government Is Ready to Lockdown the Nation

    The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. — H.L. Mencken, In Defence of Women, 1918 First came 9/11, which the government used to transform itself into a police state. Then the COVID-19 […]

  • Educating the US Imperium: Australia’s Mission for Assange

    An odder political bunch you could not find, at least when it comes to pursuing a single goal.  Given that the goal is the release of WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange makes it all the more striking.  Six Australian parliamentarians of various stripes will be heading to Washington ahead of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s October visit […]

    There were several military coups in West Africa lately. Mostly in former French colonies, and in many ways “neo-colonies” of France, that do arguably more harm to the Sahel countries than the more than 300 years of French “on-the-ground” colonies, or enslavement. Though, this latter crime is not to be discarded at all. It has […]

  • Defriending Canada: Natural Disasters and Facebook’s Information Scrub

    Australia experienced this in February 2021.  Facebook had gotten nastily stroppy, wishing to dictate public policy to the Commonwealth government.  To teach Canberra mandarins a lesson, it literally unfriended the entire country, scrubbing all news platforms of content and making any posted links through the platform inaccessible.  It mattered not that the content involved the […]

  • Whitewashing Down Under: The Vietnam War Fifty Years On

    The Vietnam War tormented and tore the societies who saw fit to participate in it.  It defined a generation culturally and politically in terms creative and fractious.  And it showed up the rulers to be ignorant rather than bright; blundering fools rather than sages secure in their preaching.  Five decades on, the political classes in […]
