Where are all those well-funded Western feminists and their empire-funded NGOs?

@ausstockchick The biggest cost increase these days for business is property cost of you don't own rent is a killer. If you look at productivity real hourly wages have not kept pace https://t.co/XSJcRN8AJK

If you spent the Morrison years furious at his secrecy, at his obedience to the corporate death cult, and at his fawning to American ruling class power, but you're not bothered by the identical caricteristics in Albanese, you're not into politics, you're into team sports

In Bärnau, Bavaria, in 2024 a young student architect (Julius Schönberger, 23 at the time) built a series of homes using only natural materials and with techniques handed down from Romans and medieval craftsmen. The idea was to trial methods to create contemporary homes with modern comforts using local materials and skills (the majority of the necessary labor can come from completely unskilled people). Hemp, lime, clay, wood etc. Electricity has been installed, as well as a modern pellet heater rather than fireplaces, and some of the traditional roofs have been extended to provide more space for future solar panels. The design was completely informed by the materials and the local climate, as it always was before plastics and the ideology of modernism.

An interesting discovery was that the building process itself generated no garbage at all. All natural insulation easily cleared modern codes and the buildings generate less waste, pollution and CO₂ than any single part of a home built with modern materials. I am looking forward to following this project to create a method to build homes for 500 years and that break the destructive teardown and rebuild business model that is currently ruining both us and nature.

@AngusTaylorMP @JNampijinpa 🤮 you are just for faster extraction, not for collecting the wealth for the majority of them population

William Perry, the US Defence Secretary between 1994 and 1997, considered resigning in opposition to NATO expansion:
- “It wasn’t that we listened to their [Russia's] argument and said [we] don’t agree with that argument… Basically the people I was arguing with when I tried to put the Russian point…. the response that I got was really: ‘Who cares what they think? They’re a third-rate power.’ And of course that point of view got across to the Russians as well. That was when we started sliding down that path”

@RennickGBR Mate it's not worth the distraction. The point is we who were kicked off our lands by the aristocracy of Britain in the 3 waves of the "enclosure of the commons", we were prisoners for living off the land, then we came and partnered in stealing the land of the locals.

@RennickGBR Our ancestors were dispossessed of access to the commons land in Britain, and then we dispossessed the indigenous. Now can we find a way to turn this dry rock into a thriving place for all? Woke welcome to country is useless, let's make this place great for all

[spartacus @beyondcapua]

@RennickGBR We wasted our lives again for our aristocracy overlords in British in WW1, being used as carbon fodder for idiot leaders in a war that we had nothing to do with us. It was not a great sacrifice. It was a tragedy.

The ethno-nationalists running Israel believe their lust for new territory must override the interests of the world economy, the civilian populations of the Middle East and even the credibility of Washington.

[Pedro Sánchez @sanchezcastejon]

Justo hoy, Netanyahu lanza su ataque más duro contra el Líbano desde que empezó la ofensiva.

Su desprecio por la vida y el derecho internacional es intolerable.

Toca hablar claro:

- Líbano debe formar parte del alto al fuego.

- La comunidad internacional debe condenar esta nueva violación del derecho internacional.

- La Unión Europea debe suspender su Acuerdo de Asociación con Israel.

- Y no debe haber impunidad ante estos actos criminales.

If you could travel back to 2015 -- let alone 2005 -- and explain that a founding leader of Al Qaeda in Syria will be made President with the help of the US and Israel, then warmly welcomed in the WH and western capitals, you'd be called a crazy anti-west conspiracy theorist.

“Asked whether they approved or disapproved of US military action against Iran, 72 per cent of voters said they disapproved (including 50 per cent who strongly disapproved) compared with 23 per cent who approved and 5 per cent who said they didn't know.

On the question of whether Australia should join allied nations in supporting the US to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, 63 per cent of voters opposed sending naval vessels, while 30 per cent supported it, and 7 per cent didn't know.”

Australians and other nationalities are being lied to big time about what is going on in the world.

Politicians are talking out of both sides of their mouth. Albanese attempt tonight to placate us into believing the government is all about protecting us is absurd. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The situation in Iran is being used to impose harsh economic sanctions on the people of the world because of a belligerent military industrial complex that is escalating the war in Iran whilst claiming they want to end it.

We’ve all seen this play out before with prior wars in the Middle East, except this war is going to be worse than anything we’ve seen in our life times as the ramifications of this war will go far beyond the Middle East.

It will cause a massive credit crunch that will unleash the worst poverty we’ve seen since WW2.

Covid will be a walk in the park compared to what might be coming.

None of this had to happen. As the polls show, it’s not what the people want.

It’s not justified either - U.S intelligence said Iran was not capable of producing a nuclear weapon.

The Australian people and the people of other nations should not have their lives destroyed because of rogue governments in Israel and the U.S. that are continuing their bombing despite claiming they want a cease fire.

Albanese needs to be honest about this. We can stand with the American people but not Trump.

it’s time we stood on our own and made our own path in what is going to be a brave new world indeed.

We need to bring back the military apprenticeship scheme, create an Infrastructure Bank and stop our wealth from going offshore.
