Truth matters no matter how hard and lonely it is. I firmly stand on the principle of fairness, empathy and respect. A strong woman who is not afraid to speak out. Love nature and peace and quiet. I know pain in all its forms. #auspol #climate

1970: Bertrand Russell on Palestine

The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was 'given' by a foreign power to another people for the creation of a new state. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people were made permanently homeless. With evert new conflict their numbers have increased> How much longer is the world going to endure this spectacular wanton cruelty? It is abundantly clear that the refugees have very right to the homeland from which they were driven, and the denial of this right is at the heart of the continuing conflict. No people anywhere in the world would accept being expelled in masse from their own country; how can anyone require the people of Palestine to accept a punishment which nobody else would tolerate? A permanent settlement of the refugees in their homeland is an essential ingredient of any genuine settlement in the Middle East. Bertrand Russell 1970.

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽

Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club.

That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group.

Just utterly unbelievable.

Here's the feds' "evidence" that state AG Letitia James committed bank fraud: She allegedly got a 3% mortgage rate on a Virginia house that she said she'd use as a second home, but she rented it out instead – so she should have paid a 3.185% rate, a difference of about $19,000.

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

News Corp’s Michael Miller has warned of the threat to Australian identity from AI. But given News Corp is a foreign company that pays no tax here and is committed to undermining social cohesion, its right to comment on either issue seems somewhat dubious

News Corp's Michael Miller is complaining about theft by AI. That's rich coming from a foreign company that pays no tax in Australia and undermines our social cohesion.

In the UK & Australia, the mainstream politicians in the major parties are pushing, prodding & poking to get a world like America, which is a chaotic fascist tyranny, a failed state ruled by lunatics

Anyone know why?
