NEW:

🚨 FIVE EYES IS ANTI-AMERICAN 🚨

Why are we still funding the intelligence services of nations that don’t share our values?

As I have reported, the “FIVE EYES” intelligence sharing relationship no longer serves America’s interests.

The United States gives the “keys to the kingdom” to foreign governments that hate us and our values. For example, the UK and Australia have been fully conquered by Islam.

The Steele Dossier— which the Russia collusion hoax was based off of—came from British Intelligence. The “British” Home Secretary @ShabanaMahmood is a violent Pakistani Muslim who has said that Islam guides everything she does in life.

Australia’s government in Canberra recently humiliated their own sailors aboard the USS Charlotte, ordering them to stand down when the US military torpedoed an Iranian frigate.

The Five Eyes relationship is not codified in law or a treaty. @NSAGov Director Rudd should advise President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio @SecRubio that this agreement no longer benefits us, and cancel it immediately.  

During the March 26th cabinet meeting, President Trump questioned why the United Kingdom and Australia didn’t have our backs in the recent military operation in Iran.

Alliances change over time. President Trump has recently eviscerated NATO for their failure to assist us in Iran and @SecRubio has asked how NATO benefits the US.

President Trump is right to ask the question: why should we support governments that don’t support us?

Cancel FIVE EYES! @POTUS @PeteHegseth

@xskinn It was lovely to meet you in person Ian after all these years! Cheers 😊

[Julie Whittaker @whittyjules]

@Baumann_Mac @AngusTaylorMP Powerful!
To aged care add:
Childcare, hospital workers, doctors, nurses, (especially in rural areas)
unskilled jobs such as cleaners, food delivery, transport drivers and much more.
Without immigrants our society would not function.
Taylor dog whistling to racists knows this.

@PeterWMurphy1 Absolute disappointment. Labour's hard left man who sold his ideology with the right faction for leadership. Has turned out way too 'right' and way too cautious as PM for those of us who voted for him. He makes Shorten look left leaning!

[Julie Whittaker @whittyjules]

LOL....Australia says hello. You have no idea!

[Julie Whittaker @whittyjules]

@Peter_Fitz Nah.....would just be a Trump sycophant. What about Anastasia P?

Christ! Mark Rutte may have trouble extracting his head from Trump's arse.

Perfectly encapsulates Mark Rutte's role and this summit more generally

@Judith54Nunn @ScoMo30 Beautifully said Judith!
Wait 'til you see Tony Abbott's post.
I look forward to your response.

[Julie Whittaker @whittyjules]

@HonTonyAbbott Fuck off you warmonger.

[Julie Whittaker @whittyjules]

@JoJoFromJerz IKR. Who thought we would ever be on his side. He toured Aus last year, and we we're like....wtf are you doing here with your insane American bullshit??
But....He is holding people to account and has pissed off the orange clown so there's also that :)

[Julie Whittaker @whittyjules]

Thank you Eric Parker....now following.
Very clear and informative reply to Vance's warmongering. Aussies (as is most of the world) are concerned where the US is taking the world and to unpack this rhetoric from the White House is very helpful.

[Eric Parker @BoldLiberty]

This is textbook war propaganda dressed up in polished rhetoric. We've seen this playbook before: "They’re enriching uranium," "they violated non-proliferation obligations," "they rejected peaceful alternatives." It's all meant to desensitize the public into accepting the next foreign entanglement under the illusion of inevitability and necessity. It has "Iraq has WMDs" energy all over it. Just replace Colin Powell with JD Vance.

Let’s cut through the fog:

1. Civilian vs. military enrichment—this framing is misleading.
Yes, low-enriched uranium (LEU) is typically under 5% U-235 concentration, and weapons-grade is around 90%. But there’s a growing body of civilian nuclear tech that benefits from higher enrichment—known as HALEU (High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium), usually defined as 5–20% U-235. Iran’s enrichment level has peaked around 60%, which is not weapons-grade and is not a smoking gun.

Why would a nation want uranium enriched above LEU levels? Because next-generation reactors—especially small modular reactors (SMRs), fast reactors, and molten salt reactors—require HALEU for higher burn-up, greater efficiency, and smaller waste profiles. These reactors offer energy independence and longer refueling intervals, which are especially attractive for developing countries under threat of sanctions or regime change.

2. Less enrichment ≠ more peace.
Insisting Iran accept a deal that allows them civilian nuclear power but prohibits enrichment is not diplomacy. It's coercion. No sovereign nation is going to trust the West after Libya gave up its program and got bombed, or after the U.S. pulled out of the JCPOA despite Iran’s verified compliance. The IAEA's own reports show Iran was abiding by the deal until the U.S. unilaterally broke it. Trust, once broken, is hard to earn back—especially when it involves national security.

3. Let’s talk non-proliferation.
Iran is a signatory to the NPT and has allowed unprecedented inspections. Israel, by contrast, has never signed the NPT, has undeclared nuclear weapons, and faces no consequences. So when JD Vance feigns outrage about violations of “non-proliferation obligations,” he’s not making a moral argument—he’s making a geopolitical one. It’s about control, not compliance.

4. This isn’t about nuclear safety. It’s about control over a region.
If Washington cared about nuclear proliferation, they wouldn’t be sending billions to Saudi Arabia to build reactors without IAEA safeguards. This is about justifying a future strike or escalation—something Vance openly concedes is “on the table.” That’s not restraint. That’s a veiled threat. That’s a setup.

5. The American people’s goals?
No, JD. The American people don’t want more war. They want affordable gas, peace, and an end to the military-industrial complex looting our future. They’ve been lied to before. Many of us fought in those wars and buried friends because of those lies. You don’t get to wave the flag and say “trust us” again.

6. The technological reality:
New nuclear tech—including Generation IV reactors like the TerraPower Natrium design—requires higher enrichment and results in less nuclear waste per kilowatt-hour. This is because:

Higher enrichment allows for longer fuel cycles, meaning the reactor operates longer without refueling.

It improves thermal efficiency and fuel utilization, especially in fast reactors.

It supports reactors that can burn existing nuclear waste (transuranics), further reducing long-term storage needs.

Countries like Iran pursuing this technology could actually reduce global nuclear waste, not increase it. But none of that fits into the narrative when the real goal is regional dominance, not non-proliferation.

[Julie Whittaker @whittyjules]

@NuryVittachi hmmmm....maybe US/Israel meant to say 'premeditated' because as sure as shit 'pre emptive' is just a weasel word.

[Julie Whittaker @whittyjules]

@Judith54Nunn @donwinslow Absolutely Judith. Here in Aus we have to keep reminding ourselves how lucky we are that voting is compulsory. Can you imagine the shitshow in our politics if it wasn't!!

[Julie Whittaker @whittyjules]

@Judith54Nunn @donwinslow Maga deserve everything heading their way.
Those who didn't vote at all...utter contempt for them.
An Aussie friend, who lives in US, was told by friends they didn't want to vote for Trump but couldn't bring themselves to vote for a woman.
So didn't vote at all.
US is so broken.
