Right now, the USS Abraham Lincoln and nine escort warships are sitting in the Persian Gulf like a loaded gun aimed at Iran’s heart. Not one Australian media outlet can independently verify what this means for Australians when the shooting starts. Are we up shit creek with America again?
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.
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.
We excised Brenton Tarrant from our consciousness because examining him would require examining the political culture that helped produce him. Meanwhile, elite networks use “combating antisemitism” to advance right-wing agendas funded by the same corporate interests that profit from inequality. Part 2 reveals how institutional power operates through selective attention to religious violence.
n the wake of Bondi, grief is being channelled into a dangerous misdiagnosis: that Jewish safety requires conflation, censorship, and punitive power. This essay argues for a public health approach to violent extremism, warns against collapsing Judaism into Israeli state policy, and shows how selective vigilance and entrenched Islamophobia undermine prevention and make everyone less safe.
The Bondi massacre was not caused by a Prime Minister. It was enabled by institutional failure and exploited for political gain. In two parts, this essay examines how grief was weaponised, why antisemitism is being dangerously misdiagnosed, and what would actually make Australians safer.
Fifteen people were killed at Bondi. Within hours, myth replaced scrutiny, and foreign threat narratives buried domestic failure. This is how disinformation, political opportunism, and institutional evasion turned tragedy into spectacle; and why the real danger remains unaddressed.
Fifteen people were killed at Bondi. Grief must come before politics. This op‑ed argues for facts over fury, rejects opportunistic narratives, and centres solidarity.
