Washington’s Venezuela play isn’t about stealing oil—it’s about strangling supply to maintain scarcity pricing for US producers. From pre-Castro Havana’s Mob bordello to today’s sanctions garrotte, the pattern is clear: control beats plunder, and workers foot the imperial bill.
Two men spend 28 days in a cash-only Davao hotel linked to ISIS activity, then massacre 15 Australians. AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett says they acted alone. With ASIO’s sweeping powers and metadata dragnet, this wasn’t missed—it was ignored. The question is why, and who gave the stand-down order.
Labor can’t bypass the Murdoch machine while simultaneously feeding it. Part Three exposes the Ley-Advance axis—and Labor’s own complicity. From independent media to digital warfare, here’s how Albanese could win the narrative war. If he has the courage.
Picture Tony Abbott at the IPA lectern, Bondi’s blood barely dry, branding the killings “an attack on all Australians.” Before we accept the performance, it’s worth examining the script – and the stagehands. Abbott is not a former PM quietly offering reflection. He is a paid director of Fox Corporation, Rupert Murdoch’s US outrage sausage-machine, earning well over AU$500,000 a year. When he inflates tragedy into civilisational war, he speaks from inside the Fox wheelhouse, not from civic conscience.
Australian men are defecting to One Nation in record numbers. This isn’t hardship—it’s status dislocation marketed as political rescue. Meet Kevin.
By canonising Graham Richardson, the Labor Party has handed its enemies – the Murdoch press, the Coalition, the Advance machine – the perfect weapon to use until the election.
When a political party starts throwing around numbers with more zeros than Peter Dutton had votes left in Dickson, you know you’re not getting economic analysis, you’re getting a con job. The Coalition’s $9 trillion net zero scare campaign is the latest instalment in a decades-long franchise of climate hysteria, from Whyalla’s promised obliteration to the $100 lamb roast that never arrived. But this time, the real cost is the one they never mention: the price Australians are already paying for a lost decade of delay, obstruction and weaponised ignorance.
How Australia became the world’s cautionary tale in resource management. The mining industry didn’t steal our wealth. We handed it over. The press, owned by the same mining interests since 1923, made sure we never asked why.
Trump’s demolition of the White House East Wing to build a “self-funded” ballroom is more than vandalism. It’s the Gilded Age reborn — a cash-for-access cathedral where billionaires buy permanence and democracy is reduced to rubble.
Tony Abbott didn’t just endorse Andrew Hastie — he sculpted him from the clay of Cold War nostalgia and culture war fury. Now, as the Liberal Party flirts with leadership disaster, Hastie emerges not as a saviour, but as a symptom of the party’s descent into uniformed theatre and ideological cosplay.
