In May 2023 Admiral Mead told the Senate we’d get two second-hand Virginia subs from the US, but thereafter we’d get new ones. Now, for this most incredibly overpriced sub program, we’re only getting second-hand subs and Minister Marles thinks that’s great 🤦‍♂️. #AUKUS #auspol

Releasing weak exposure draft legislation on gambling late on a Friday afternoon is unfortunately so typical of the approach of the Albanese Govt on this important issue.

They know Australians want a full gambling ad ban but they're going for a patchy ban that won't protect Australian children from being exposed to gambling ads - 3 per hour and then unlimited after 8.30pm, including during the half time of live sport.

We need to do better and I'll keep pushing to legislate a full gambling ad ban which the majority of the community supports.

"Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction." Senator Claude Malhuret stood up in the French Senate this week and systematically torched every single member of Trump's cabinet.

Nobody was spared. Not one.

"A year ago, here in France, I compared Trump's presidency to Nero's Court. I was wrong. It's the miracle court," Malhuret began. Then he went through the roster.

"An anti-vaxxer, former heroin addict as Minister of Health." (That's RFK Jr)

"A climate-skeptic Minister of Economy." (That's Scott Bessent)

"An alcoholic TV host, Minister of the Armed Forces." (That's Pete Hegseth)

"An old Qatar agent, Minister of Justice." (That's Pam Bondi, whose former firm collected $115,000 a month lobbying for Qatar)

"A groupie of Putin, Minister of National Security." (That's Tulsi Gabbard)

Then he pulled back and went bigger.

"A Turkish proverb says: when a clown settles in a palace, he does not become king. It is the palace that becomes a circus."

Malhuret pointed out that since Trump created his so-called Board of Peace, he has launched more military strikes than Biden did in his entire term. He called out the Boeing jet Qatar gifted Trump worth $400 million.

He called out the stock market manipulation that only insiders benefit from. He called out the Gulf investment deals enriching Trump and his family.

"Any one of these conflicts of interest would have caused an immediate procedure of impeachment here," Malhuret said. "But we are not here. We are in MAGA's America where public business is conducted in favor of private interests."

Then came the line that cut deepest. "Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction."

This is how the world sees us now. Not through Fox News. Not through Truth Social. Through the cold, clear eyes of allied nations watching a great country be hollowed out by crooks.

Every American should hear this speech. Share it everywhere.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

It's been fun watching Israel apologists invent "antisemitic tropes" in real time. The words "genocide" and "occupation" are antisemitic tropes now, apparently, as are the phrases "Epstein class" and "Operation Epstein Fury".

In reality they're just effective talking points used to highlight facts that are inconvenient to Israel and its allies. Every relevant human rights group on earth agrees that Israel is an occupying force in the Palestinian territories. Every relevant human rights group on earth has accused Israel of genocide in Gaza. The phrase "Epstein class" makes the rich and powerful people who rule our society look as creepy and suspicious as they should look. "Operation Epstein Fury" highlights Trump's place in the Epstein Files as he wages an insane war which Israel has been seeking for decades.

We see this all the time. Effective pro-Palestine political slogans like "Globalize the intifada" and "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" are labeled antisemitic not because they express hatred toward Jews but because they are effective.

That's all it ever is. Israel apologists see a phrase or slogan hurting Israeli information interests and go "Uh, okay so you can't say those words anymore. Those words make Jewish people feel unsafe."

And then the phrases get banned. Here in Australia we just saw the state of Queensland ban the phrase "from the river to the sea" on penalty of two years in prison. For no other reason than because it's something people chant at pro-Palestine protests.

Antisemitism isn't the target of these laws; the protests themselves are the target. They're designed to shut down pro-Palestine demonstrations by making so many speech suppression laws that nobody would attend one without a lawyer present to advise them on what they may and may not say.

The very first time someone told me "from the river to the sea Palestine will be free" was a hateful genocidal chant I thought it was the most ridiculous thing I'd ever heard, and to this day I still feel that way. It's a completely counter-intuitive claim that makes no sense on first hearing it. It is only by the constant repetition of the assertion that it's an antisemitic slogan that people began accepting this transparently absurd idea. They just said it over and over again in an authoritative tone until people started to buy it.

Nobody actually believes these words and phrases are hateful toward Jews, they're just pretending to believe that to promote the information interests of a genocidal apartheid state. That's all we're ever looking at with this nonsense.

Americans should know this:

A massive amount of Jewish settlers live in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

None of them work.

They live off government funding - free housing, free healthcare, free everything.

And it's all paid for by your US tax dollars.

[Kerry Burgess @KerryBurgess]

So,officially, it's now the Gaza Genocide. Only it's not just Israel's Genocide, it's also the US's Genocide, and the UK's Genocide as both these countries directly participated in it...
Biden, Trump, Sunak, Starmer, and respective senior members of their administrations all belong in the Hague with Netanyahu and Co. And they should all be facing the death penalty.
