If you don't understand why Australia would undermine its own economic and security interests to pour a fortune into America's cold war with China, watch this. Australia isn't allied with the US to protect itself from China, it's allied with the US to protect itself from the US.

This is an illegitimate military occupation made possible by a CIA-backed coup in 1975 and is being escalated in a move that was shoved through without Parliamentary debate. I as an Australian do not consent to this illegitimate occupation. #YankeeGoHome #auspol

People who just started paying attention to Australian authoritarianism during Covid often get the impression that it's about the virus, but a lot of our scariest leaps into dystopia have nothing to do with Covid and this descent began long before the outbreak. #auspol
Back in 2019 the CIVICUS Monitor had already downgraded Australia from an “open” country to one where civil space has “narrowed”, citing new laws to expand government surveillance, prosecution of whistleblowers, and raids on media organizations.

The horrifying Identify and Disrupt bill which allows Australian police to hack people's devices, collect, delete *and alter* their information and log onto their social media passed through Parliament at breakneck speed, and has nothing to do with Covid.

"Several federal cabinet ministers were called to a top-secret meeting in Canberra on Wednesday ahead of a major international development expected out of the United States on Thursday morning."

"Sources familiar with the development said some members of cabinet were granted border exemptions to urgently fly to Canberra for the hastily arranged meeting, which sources say will have international significance."

If the US empire ran out of excuses to use and test its extremely profitable military arsenal on impoverished foreigners it would simply invent more excuses.
It's hard to wrap your mind around, because it's so much more profoundly evil than we're taught to anticipate, but it really is an objective fact that people who make money manufacturing war weapons have an tremendous amount of influence over how and when those weapons are used.
It's exactly the same as murdering human beings at mass scale and selling their organs for a tremendous profit, except nobody benefits from their deaths besides those people who sell the murder weapons. And it's deemed perfectly reasonable and acceptable.

Twenty Years Of Phony Tears About 9/11

"Compared to the horrors the United States unleashed upon the world under the justification of 9/11, 9/11 itself was a family trip to Disneyland."

Twenty Years Of Phony Tears About 9/11

"The death and destruction visited upon Iraq alone dwarfs the 2,977 people killed on 9/11 by orders of magnitude; hell, this was true of the death and destruction the US had been inflicting on Iraq even before 9/11."
soundcloud.com/going_rogue/tw…
"This nation which has spent twenty years weeping about its victimization with Bambi-eyed innocence reacted to 9/11 with wars which killed millions and displaced tens of millions and ushered in an unprecedented new era of military expansionism"
