The political leaders of NATO countries in Kiev today chant that they “stand with Ukraine.” Then why do they continue boycotting diplomacy and negotiations for 4.5 years, when the vast majority of Ukrainians want negotiations?
Why is it that nobody representing the majority in Ukraine is permitted to appear in our media? Why is it taboo for our political-media establishment to discuss the European security architecture, while it is normalised to argue for deporting Ukrainian refugees, lowering the conscription age, and conscripting women to avoid any peace talks?
NATO is working hard to keep its proxy war going, and this war has no more to do with “standing with Ukraine” than the occupation of Afghanistan had to do with allowing girls to go to school. It is truly frightening that grown adults can be convinced that great-power rivalry is actually about helping the disenfranchised around the world. These leaders do not "stand with Ukraine", they are selling a war to their public.

@aaronbronsteter When the fight got more chaotic, Gary got knocked down with a head kick. If Gary took more chances, then good chance it would've nullified his reach advantage and Islam would've take advantage. Islam was just better, simple as that.
@GeoffWilsonWAM@AlboMP@JEChalmers The gaslighting from the government, the nerve to say they are doing this for young people as they steal their future, sickening.
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO REALLY RUNS THIS COUNTRY?
It’s not who you voted for. I’ve spent months in the official records, AEC returns, the lobbyist register, Senate inquiries, ATO data.
What I found scares the hell out of me.
Start with the money. Every single year for 27 years, a group of companies has funded Labor AND the Coalition at the same time. Never fewer than 24 of them. Last year, 94, the biggest on record. They don’t bet on a winner. They buy both. Add $1 billion in dark money since 1999 that nobody can trace, and five donors supplying a quarter of ALL party funding this century.
Now the names. Andrew Robb signed the China trade deal as minister, then walked into an $880,000 a year job with Landbridge, the Chinese company holding the 99 year lease on Darwin Port.
Christopher Pyne ran Defence, then advised EY on defence.
Julie Bishop ran Foreign Affairs, then joined the board of an aid contractor feeding off her old department.
Both cleared.
Marise Payne, another former foreign minister, now works for a lobbying firm. The Grattan Institute found 1 in 4 ministers end up working for the industries they used to regulate. The rule against it has never once produced a real penalty.
Behind them, a record 707 registered lobbyists and over 2,000 unregistered pass holders roaming Parliament’s private corridors with no record of who they meet. When one senator pushed for an inquiry, Labor and the Liberals teamed up to kill it. The one thing they always agree on.
Then your money. Federal contracts to the big four consultancies grew 1,270% in a decade. PwC charged taxpayers nearly $1 million for a Robodebt report it never delivered, an 8 slide PowerPoint, while leaking our secret tax plans to clients like Google.
KPMG stands accused of billing Defence for work never done, after hiring almost 100 ex Defence staff.
Nobody went to jail for any of it.
And the payback? Over 1,100 companies earning $100 million plus paid ZERO income tax in 2023-24. The ATO published the list itself.
Who tells you about all this?
Four companies control 84% of our newspapers. Only Brazil has a more concentrated media on the planet.
Follow the loop:
●Hidden money funds the parties.
●Ministers retire into the industries they regulated.
●Those industries pay nothing back.
And the megaphone deciding what you hear is owned by a handful of boardrooms.
You’ve thrown the government out four times since 1998. Not one part of that loop was interrupted for a single year.
Labor and Liberal aren’t driving the car. They’re taking turns holding the wheel while someone else owns the road.
None of it is illegal. That’s the problem.

@CampbellNewman@AlboMP Otherwise, Australia risks becoming the AI equivalent of a quarry: supplying land, electricity, water and political approval while the valuable models, platforms, customer relationships and profits remain offshore.
@CampbellNewman@AlboMP AI Labs get planning certainty, grid access and stable regulations.
Australia must secure additional energy infrastructure, guaranteed access to compute, sovereign operating capability, local intellectual property, and a fair share of the economic upside.
@mazzenilsson@BrianJBerletic often rightfuly points out that all you have to do is listen to what they tell us in their military industrial complex linked think tanks. This is a cohesive narrative
Oil feeds Japanese inflation. Japanese inflation forces the BoJ hawkish. A hawkish BoJ triggers the carry unwind. Warsh keeps US yields high, so the trade keeps growing while the fuse burns.
Iran, the Fed and the yen aren't three risks. They're one.

@0xBADB01E@MagicofAzi But its ok in every US drone and missile that are so much more peaceful? China's history shows they would be a much better custodian of this technology than US/Israel/Palantir
