A forensic look at the so‑called “Board of Peace,” a proposal that treats Gaza less as a homeland and more as a high‑yield opportunity zone. This piece traces the lineage from Kushner’s “Peace to Prosperity” to a subscription‑tier model of diplomacy where capital buys influence and the people most affected are sidelined into administrative footnotes.
As we navigate the crises of 2026, a specific machinery of falsification has transformed Iran into a global “whipping boy.” This analysis deconstructs the myths of the nuclear menace and walks through the recent Starlink catastrophe—a digital trap that left thousands vulnerable.
America isn’t collapsing with a bang — it’s being edged out with a yawn. A soft failure: a lukewarm bond auction, a throttled military network, and a world quietly building payment rails that make Washington optional. Australia, naturally, keeps paddling.
The post critiques Trump’s administration as a melodramatic spectacle marked by insecurity and historical ignorance. It highlights geopolitical failures, a stagnant economy, and a decline in military effectiveness. The imminent risk of financial collapse looms as America grapples with imperial decay, ultimately revealing the disillusionment underlying its perceived power.
Trump’s two-front bluster—Venezuela in the Caribbean, Iran in the Middle East—is theatre. The real war is quieter: Palantir-style surveillance turning society into an open-air prison.
An investigative look into the “emergency” data-sharing pipelines between Australia and the US. We explore the links between urban protest suppression in Sydney and the deployment of “Human Geography” mapping software in international conflict zones like Tehran.
A drunk’s shopping list on the Resolute Desk: Trump eyes Venezuela oil, Greenland “hard way,” bombs for Bibi. Napoleon’s ghost laughs as the rat-trap snaps shut. Multi-front madness meets manufactured war in the Gulf.
The next war with Iran won’t be sold as a war at all. It will be framed as a “limited strike” to reassure markets that the old rules still apply: some countries can be bombed and sanctioned at will, others never meaningfully challenged. Oil, empire, and capital will dance. Civilians will pay.
Following the January 3, 2026, abduction of Nicolás Maduro from the Fuerte Tiuna military complex, the mask of the “Rules-Based Order” has been incinerated. This op-ed argues that the new “Donroe Doctrine” is not a policy shift, but a blood-soaked coronation of a manic American despotism—one that the Fourth Estate must stop sanitizing as mere “eccentricity.”
Albanese’s Royal Commission may yield clarity — even some justice — but it can’t cleanse the bad faith of its birth. In a media economy addicted to conflict and an Opposition desperate for a demolition job, the PM is condemned whether he resists or concedes. And “social cohesion” risks becoming the Goddess Araldite: bonding by suppression, not democracy by dissent.
