One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.
The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.
But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Allowing an under regulated oligarch controlled MSM to indoctrinate Australians is a key failure of our Labor governments. The Murdochs & Kerry Stokes are not environmental factors to be worked with, their power has been ceded to them by our governments against our interests as a community.

The conservatives forces using the Bondi Massacre to instigate a crackdown of freedoms of speech and the right to assembly are completely disgusting.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?”
A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages.
It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning.
Since then, it’s only gotten worse.
Do the steps sound familiar?

Gambling, housing, climate, Gaza, AUKUS etc etc. The captain’s arm has ossified at the tiller as the wind blows us towards the shoals, yet any questioning is treated as mutiny and ruthlessly suppressed. I fear for the ship, crew and the slaves in the hold.
