A Must Read. Mike Gilligan on just how much of a scam the AUKUS lemon is cc @AlboMP @RichardMarlesMP and why it is an unprecedented disgrace and betrayal of the people of Australia. The PM should take this opportunity to WITHDRAW. The Public Enquiry will be excoriating. You dont give away public money in this way.
‘The Virginia class submarine is not a general-purpose vessel such as our Collins class. It is designed for supreme acoustic invisibility for a specific purpose – to find, track and attack submarines seen as a nuclear threat to the US mainland. That is the job which the US expects Australia’s submarines to do – effectively embedded into US military command – against China’s growing capacity to annihilate continental US from under the sea, anytime.
Why this role is of utmost priority for the US requires some explanation. Nuclear armed submarines, such as China possesses, present a uniquely difficult threat to the US homeland. Unlike the readily discernible launch locations of hostile land-based missiles, or from aircraft or sea-surface vessels, the submarine’s habitat and mobility make it largely invisible and impregnable across the vast ocean approaches to the US.
The US attempts to deal with this risk using specialised attack submarines (ie the Virginia), which can locate, track and destroy China’s nuclear submarines as they move into and around Pacific waters. This is one critical part of a mosaic of US self-protection measures, the effectiveness of which is eroding as China’s submarine production expands.
So, the hefty sacrifice which Australia’s taxpayers make to acquire new submarines is not for Australia’s benefit, but for defending continental US. Australia’s submarine needs are quite specialised and different, but simply ignored by Minister Marles…
the evidence is incontrovertible this government has forsaken independence in protecting Australia. And deceives its people on how it lets the United States controls our priorities to its own benefit, damaging our own defence capacity. The implications of such betrayal are profound.’
We are just vassals to a fading hegemon who wants to be able to keep goading our biggest trading partner because its economic growth presents a threat to the US lording it over the world. FFS time to grow up and stop supporting a bully.

Brilliant. Raw hypocrisy.

[Mike Carlton @MikeCarlton01]

Global outrage at Israel’s brutal mistreatment of the western Flotilla activists. Deafening silence when Israeli so-called ‘settlers’ attack Palestinians in the West Bank, killing families, seizing their homes and farms, bulldozing their olive trees. The. hypocrisy is disgusting

A new Federal Police unit has been created which will impact on protesting against AUKUS.
I warned the suppression of speech regarding Israel would move on to speech about the US. It’s arrived. Ostensibly about our national security, many citizens know its about the worse deal in our history that places our safety at risk.

AMOC collapse should be top of the global agenda. Instead most ppl haven't heard of it and easily digestible explainers like this are rare. Listen, there is a very much non-negligible risk that you and/or your children will die from it, so it's worth 1m26s of your time!

Are these Israeli behaviours included in the alleged 🇦🇺🇮🇱 Judeo-Christian "shared values" you hold so dear, @AlboMP?

Do you have any "concerns" about the treatment of these hostages, @SenatorWong, or is it happening too far away for you to judge? #auspol #CrimesAgainstHumanity

[Dr Sheep Person Podge @noplaceforsheep]

Sooner or later, @AlboMP you are going to have to take into account the views of the majority of Australians who are not supportive of the genocidal apartheid state of Israel & its Zionist representatives here.

Because we control your numbers in parliament, & they don’t.

Also you @ChrisMinnsMP &
you @DavidCrisafulli

This is Gujjar Nullah in Karachi, Pakistan.

A major storm water drain running through neighbourhoods, it carries sewage, runoff and heaps of garbage before joining the Lyari River and the Arabian Sea.

Trash and encroachments choke the channel, making flooding and pollution worse, and clearing it remains a constant struggle.

You thought Epstein Island was bad?

Israel built the only military prison in the world designated for children.

Children are subjected to beatings, torture, and rape on a regular basis.

Conviction rates in courts reach 99.7%.

This applies only to non-jewish children.

@antloewenstein This is one of the most honest & serious reports on Iran/USA war & #IsraelGlobalThreat which affects every one of us.

While Israel dominates USA in their forever wars for the Greater Israel, we will suffer for USA dominance over Australia for years.
