@Aus_Vanguard @NoticerNews@TrueEuropa If only one of the hundreds, if not thousands of so called 'human rights' lawyers in this country would stand up in defence of Joel and precedent the fuck out of these bullshit, unjust laws.
@Sargon_of_Akkad Orient means middle or center. Classically the Orient indicated the middle of the Eurasian land mass. You know, the Caucas mountains and the steppes, which before a hafu named Temujin conqured it, was full of whities.
THE PENTAGON JUST ADMITTED DEFEAT
The Pentagon is admitting that US bases in the Persian Gulf got absolutely hammered.
BILLIONS to repair, with dozens of aircraft, command headquarters, aircraft hangars, satellite communications infrastructure, runways, high-end radar systems destroyed.
And of course, YOU will be paying for it.
Global military spending just hit $2.9 TRILLION (highest ever recorded).
Germany up 24% in a single year, blowing past the NATO 2% threshold for the first time since 1990. Europe up 14%. Asia up 8%. Every major economy is shovelling more money into weapons while their citizens can't even afford rent.
This is completely intentional.
The military industrial complex does not lose wars. IT WINS BUDGETS. Every "defeat" justifies the next contract, and every destroyed jet becomes an order for three new ones. Every "we need to rebuild deterrence" is a multi-billion dollar transfer from your pocket to Lockheed, Raytheon, BAE, Rheinmetall, and the rest of the parasites.
Same script as Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam. The only people who never pay are the ones who started the wars in the first place.
If you still trust the people telling you these wars are about freedom or security or "the rules-based order" then I really don't know what to tell you.
The people who offshored our petrochemical and refining capacity are the same people who offshored our industrial base.
They are the people who imagined that Australia could prosper in an asset-inflated, debt-driven economy, where we sold houses to one another, served coffee to one another, and called it prosperity.
They are the people who built vast domestic schemes while allowing the productive base that funds them to decay.
They are the central bankers who treated consumption as the measure of success, while the goods we consumed, the machines we needed, and the materials we depended upon were increasingly sourced from China.
They are the people who speak solemnly of “net zero” while ignoring the fact that much of our carbon burden has simply been exported, manufactured elsewhere, and then consumed here with clean hands and dirty supply chains.
They are the people who insist that Australian workers must have rights, protections, safety standards, and wages, while accepting that those same rights are extinguished for the workers who make our goods overseas.
That is the modern colonial mind. It no longer arrives with a flag and a gunboat. It arrives with ideology, moral absolutism, and a lecture.
It tells us what to think. It tells us what words to use. It tells us what industries we may have, what energy we may use, what history we must despise, and what future we must accept.
And it did all this without ever asking the Australian people the central question:
Do we wish to remain a serious country, capable of making, refining, building, repairing and defending itself?
Or are we content to become a nation of consumers, administrators and moralists, living off assets we don’t build, supply chains we do not control, and energy systems we no longer understand?
Thanks to the work of Bill Gates and other psychopaths, soon absolutely everything we consume from vegetables, to dairy, to meat will contain mRNA, whether we like it or not
@CohnMan77@BobBurn97207272 Incorrect. Banks and their cronies can only ever make and wield merchant law. Common law for starters is higher. And there are higher laws still above common.
