No Bill of Rights? Don't fret Australia. Currently, the US Bill of Rights should be inscribed on toilet tissue to make it more convenient for various government and media spokespersons to wipe their arses with it.
"And Australians are just going right along with it, like a bunch of human livestock. We’re a whole damn continent full of bipedal sheep. Absolutely fucking pathetic."
Caitlin I worry about you there. I worry about other voices like yours I know are leaving the US to travel, therefore making themselves vulnerable to the laws and intrusions by an increasingly authoritarian state, at our borders (and unknown to many, within 100 miles of them). We are in one of those dystopic movies, where for decades, audiences cheered, as heroes rebelled effectively. We have heros, but we obviously don’t have sufficient efficiency. What will render the grip of entities such as the Zionists, from the throats of so much greater populations, and roll back the technofascist surveillance states already so far advanced, I do not know. I’ve witnessed the effectiveness of the proganda machines, even fell victim to them myself at times, since the civil rights era and Vietnam war. When I speak to many young people today, I’m heartened by the increased awareness they exhibit. But still, the psychopathic violence continues and horrifying amounts of real humans and armies of bots, back vile racism, supremacy and authoritarianism across the social media platforms, as an MSM consolidated more than ever, keeps the otherwise ignorant, fed lies and blinded in omission. There hasn’t been one day of an effective, peaceful general strike in the US, over more than two years of ongoing genocide. For those who’ve gotten this far, I continue to implore finding allies in your communities to share resources of practical knowledge and material resources, along with the efficiencies of larger scales, to better endure the obvious existential threats such an unimpeded paradigm, should have already made obvious.
What does it mean when the ruling class ties itself up in a knot because the rest of the world speaks out against genocide? It's really something to consider.
I read the transcript and then listened to Christ Hedges interviewing Anand Giridharadas, who listened to all of the emails released in the Epstein files just to find out how this class of people operates.
Understanding what they're like might help us in our activism.
Trump and Netanyahu look as if they are getting together like the best of buddies to discuss how well their lives are going; maybe something they consider to be fun like how to cause more misery to people they consider "garbage" or "human animals". Such a lovely pair. Maybe that "53 percent support" for a ban on pro-Palestinian marches is a lie made up by some mainstream news group. Sadly, it isn't just Australians blabbering out that crap about how the Pro Palestinian marches are the cause of anti semitism. Strange how they cannot seem to imagine that by telling everyone that anti Zionism is anti semitic and that Jews are only safe in Israel as they continue to murder starving, unarmed people with no houses might JUST cause a few people to hate the people committing those acts.
I’m so sorry this is happening in Australia. For a long time I was unaware that the Israeli lobby had its tenterhooks inserted deeply in countries other than the U.S. That was obviously naive. I just had to turn off a “news” program here in the U.S. because it was hosting the author of a piece in The Atlantic magazine, a supposedly “liberal” publication, whose theme is that “antisemitism” has infected the young. The Washington Post published an op-ed in the last week by another writer complaining about antisemitism. They seem to be amping up. I hate what the Israelis are doing in Palestine and I hate what the lobby is doing in my country. My condolences, Caitlin. This brings home though, that the struggle against this has to be international.
CJ>>"a recent poll by the Resolve Political Monitor found that 53 percent of Australians now support a ban on pro-Palestine marches."
Caitlin (and other Australians here), I have a question -> Are Australians naive enough to believe the Israeli propaganda about the Bondi beach attack? Maybe I'm in an echo chamber, as I believe it is quite simple and apparent to all that pro-Palestinian marches, etc. had NOTHING whatsoever to do with this attack.
After 2+ years of a live-streamed Genocide, is it STILL so simple to manipulate people about Israel and Zionism?
"I am so angry at them right now. Absolute worst people in the world."
Been watching this country called Australia for a very long time and have seen the willingness in the population to accept all that is thrown at them. First the British (still there today as the Australians dance and bow to a UK King and now a disgraceful rightwing Israel supporting government ), since 1788, with total control of that subservient country called Australia until after WWII....... now a role taken by the USA, the current directors of all political activities, one way or another. A fact.
So as a summary, a pathetic little bag carrier for any country with muscle, so obviously reflected in the make up and the quality of the political class, who do what they are told, every day. Now, if as Caitlin has said that the majority, that is 53%, now support a ban on Palestinian marches, that sums it up perfectly.
53% therefore do not give a damn about the genocide in Palestine, that is murder, rape, snipers, child killing, starvation, bombing and every other crime one can imagine.
If that sums up Australia and if that is what is required to be seen as an Australian, then I am not in any way an Australian, even after 92 years.
We are currently drowning in Zionist propaganda on mainstream media - endless commentary, every day, every news cast, all and any (unrelated) events are being framed in relation to the shooting (“brave Christmas crowds defy terrorism”), there are calls from lobbyists for Royal Commissions and political resignations - and it’s so overt, so over-the-top, that I’m hoping it is backfiring. There’s a lot of pushback but I’m shocked at how many people (including neighbours and acquaintances) just sit in front of our Murdoch monopoly media and accept what they are told to think. I’m heartened by our younger generation though.
Several months after the killing of an Australian aid worker in Gaza there is no report, findings recommendations, just nothing
And our government accepts this narrative. Jews killing an Australin is ok. Really. JEWS killed in Australia what shock and horror, all Australians are criminals, just Netanyahu prime minister of Israel.
Citizens of Australia this is not a drill. A government that fears its people always reaches first for censorship. History is clear from the Eureka Stockade to every failed authoritarian experiment silence is the tool of the insecure and the desperate. What is happening now is not protection it is control.
Australia was not built by compliant subjects. It was built by people with backbone who refused to bow quietly. Find that spine again. Stand up and stop Albanese and his government from tightening the muzzle any further. Roll back policies that punish Australians for thinking freely. Reclaim sovereignty that has been quietly outsourced to foreign interests.
A nation does not fall in one dramatic moment. It erodes when its people decide resistance is inconvenient. Do not let that be your chapter.
If the Israelis are insane enough to attack Iran again the only consolation is Tel Aviv will be levelled. So much hysteria about Islamic terrorism when Jews are the problem in the form of Israel.
Part of me won't shed a tear if Iran does level the country. But part of me also sees the horror of it - if it does happen. The utter stupidity of murdering other human beings because you think you're righteous, or God is on your side.
Well we should never wish death on anyone but when a State is an instrument of death for others and the only way to stop it is to destroy their military and intelligence systems and structure, then one can grieve the loss of human life but cheer the end of such evil.
Sanctions and boycotts would cripple and destroy Israel without blood being shed but that is not likely to happen so the State entity itself must pay the price.
Well, even though many in Israel have blindly supported their psychotic government - much like many Germans blindly followed Hitler, there will be some that didn't. And let's not forget the children.
It's just the utter stupidity of making mass murder an accepted way of life. Even after two World Wars it seems humankind has learned nothing.
Children are always innocent even when brainwashed by their parents. Israel is a cult and it always has been and one should retain compassion for people brainwashed in a Cult while holding them to account.
A big difference with the Germans and Hitler is that not only did many Germans not know what was happening, they could not know.
Totally different for the Israelis and their supporters in an age of technology which makes it easy to find out facts, history and current realities and that means Israelis, and their supporters, either knew and did not care or did not know and did not care enough to find out. Either way they are far more guilty than most Germans ever were.
As for Bondi Beach: aw, c’mon. I can’t possibly be the only one who saw the guy with the bandages all over his head and the fake blood on his face (my great-niece did a better job of it last Halloween.) He “survived” both Bondi Beach AND 10/7—I mean, what are the fuckin’ chances? 😂😂😂
Not to mention he’s standing in a beach giving interviews instead of seeking medical help?!
Satire and ridicule are our friends. Employ them, folks. Find ways to make the "enforcers" laugh at those who employ them, even if privately. Be creative! You ca do it!
Is it finally time for a lump of coal in Bibi's stocking?
He comes to offer to keep the last deal he made with Trump for the Gaza ceasefire if Trump will bomb Iran for him again.
Trump knows Bibi can't deliver, because the religious-Zionists running the show in Israel believe "God" wants them to kick all animal-people out of the land he gave to Only Them.
Nothing else counts these days.
Bibi needs re-election next year, and he needs the votes of the religious-Zionists, so what has he really got to offer?
No Bill of Rights? Don't fret Australia. Currently, the US Bill of Rights should be inscribed on toilet tissue to make it more convenient for various government and media spokespersons to wipe their arses with it.
Much love to you, Caitlin. Stay safe and free over in the Outback!

Desperate much eh Bibi? Which tells you this could all end yesterday if only the US stopped being a genocidal enabler

Please. It would be a deterrent or self-defence by any reasonable measure.
Caitlin, day-um, the Land of Oz worse than here in ameriKKKa? How’d that happen?
Coupla notes here. IsraHell bombs Iran: Iran obliterates Tel-a-Fucking-Viv. What’s the downside?
As for Bondi Beach: aw, c’mon. I can’t possibly be the only one who saw the guy with the bandages all over his head and the fake blood on his face (my great-niece did a better job of it last Halloween.) He “survived” both Bondi Beach AND 10/7—I mean, what are the fuckin’ chances? 😂😂😂
Not to mention he’s standing in a beach giving interviews instead of seeking medical help?!
Give it up!
Worse? No. Not at all. But following closely along like a well-behaved lapdog as always.
Satire and ridicule are our friends. Employ them, folks. Find ways to make the "enforcers" laugh at those who employ them, even if privately. Be creative! You ca do it!
