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 mee…

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…

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.

"There's a reflex in Australian politics that turns grief into ladder-climbing. After Bondi, the chorus demanding a Royal Commission has become compulsory. But the nation is being sold catharsis when what's needed is law—and what's on offer is legally hobbled theatre."

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.

Anthony Albanese’s surrender to a Bondi Royal Commission reveals a political system that prioritises spectacle over justice. But as diverse communities unite to demand real accountability, the ques…

Anthony Albanese didn’t choose a Royal Commission into the Bondi massacre, but he was bullied into it. The real scandal isn’t his surrender, but the cynical machinery that left him no other option. When political extortion replaces policy, nobody wins. The Hostage Prime Minister: How Albanese Was Cornered Anthony Albanese is said to be on the cusp of a belated acceptance of a Royal Commission into the Bondi massacre, "senior sources" tell the Sydney Morning Herald, as the political costs of his refusal become too big to bear. Similarly, the…

In February 2019, millions watched as Venezuelan forces supposedly torched aid trucks. The story was false, but it had already done its work: manufacturing consent for economic warfare that would kill tens of thousands. Here's how media made US sanctions disappear, and why Australia was complicit.

Venezuelan strongman Maduro seized in daring US operation." That's how our ABC led the coverage. But what we witnessed was an illegal military invasion of a sovereign nation dressed up as law enforcement. This is the anatomy of an imperial project: demonisation, sanctions, crisis, military intervention. We've seen it in Iraq, Libya, Syria. Now Venezuela. The pattern is identical. The oil is the prize. The "narcoterrorism" is just marketing. And Australian media are selling it with a straight face while we're complicit through intelligence sharing and lockstep UN votes. Part One of an investigation into how empires manufacture consent—and why we keep falling for it.

In the early hours of January 3, 2026, the United States bombed Venezuela. Seven explosions tore through Caracas as American aircraft targeted military installations, a suspected cocaine refinery, …
