FREE JULIAN ASSANGE NOW................. enough is enough — bring him home......

Seventy years ago, on September 5, 1945, Wilfred Burchett’s report on the aftermath of the Hiroshima atomic bombing was published in London’s Daily Express. Burchett was the first Western journalist to enter Hiroshima after the bombing and was shocked by the devastation. 

Under the banner “I write this as a warning to the world”, Burchett described a city reduced to “reddish rubble” and people dying from an unknown “atomic plague”. 

FREE JULIAN ASSANGE NOW................. enough is enough — bring him home......

Eight months after the war ended, much of south Beirut is still in ruins. All that's left after these suburbs were pounded by Israeli artillery are vast piles of rubble.

SOME CARTOONISTS ARE IN BED WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT. I BELIEVE THEY DON'T MEAN TO PARROT THE WESTERN NARRATIVE BUT THEIR MASTERS DEMAND IT. WE HAVE TRIED TO CORRECT THEIR MISTAKES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, BUT WE (CARTOONING SINCE 1951) SIN AS WELL IN OUR OWN COMBATIVE EXCESSES.

Apparently it wasn’t Abert Einstein who said “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results”. But we like to think it was, so it became a quotation attributed to him. How else to describe the West’s stalwart determination to impale itself further with the agony of the Ukraine war as we are now led to believe that NATO and the U.S. are determined now to dig in for a long war. The belief is still upbeat, despite the huge anti-climax of Ukraine’s so-called “offensive” which didn’t even break through the Maginot Line which Russia has built along a 900-km fortified line.

No, thankfully the malady has not yet overtaken the entirety of the West, but it certainly has seized hold of the element within it that sets the tone and shapes minds. The precise matter that currently exercises the establishment is not motherhood so much literally as symbolically, insofar as the powers that be dismiss with undisguised contempt the inviolability of motherhood’s most precious issue, innocent children. That is close enough.

There is an unbridgeable moral chasm separating the rulers from their subjects, Stephen Karganovic writes.

THE POINT ISN'T ABOUT THE CROOKERY OF THE "ILLUSION" OF SET UPS, BUT ABOUT PROFITING FROM THIS. WE KNOW THAT JOE BIDEN INFLUENCED POLITICS IN UKRAINE (AND HE GLEEFULLY BRAGGED ABOUT IT) BY BLACKMAILING THE PRESIDENT THERE IN REGARD TO GIFTING AMERICAN MONEYS IN EXCHANGE FOR THE SACKING OF A PROSECUTOR/INVESTIGATOR OF THE CORRUPT UKRAINIAN COMPANY WHERE HIS SON HAD BEEN PARACHUTED IN TO GIVE IT CRED FOR CASH... CROOKED? SURE.

FREE JULIAN ASSANGE NOW..........................

"it's all a beat up"....

THIS IS WHAT THE BIDEN APOLOGISTS (LIBERAL DEMOCRATS AND RELIGIOUS OR RIGHTEOUS JOURNALISTS — AND POLITICIANS WHO BELIEVE IN SAINT JOE BIDEN OR ARE AS CROOKED AS HE IS) SAY ABOUT JOE BIDEN'S DEALINGS WITH HIS SON'S BUSINESS REPORTS....

Senate Armed Services Committee ranking member Roger Wicker has threatened to block the sale of US nuclear-powered attack subs to Australia unless the Biden administration increases defense outlays. Australian officials have expressed concerns that such a decision could leave them in a jam after Canberra rejected a $65 billion sub deal with France.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken “fully expects” the US to move forward with the delivery of Virginia-class nuclear submarines to Australia, notwithstanding growing resistance from some US lawmakers.

Scholar David Hawkes refers to John Milton as a “Hero of Our Time.” Milton’s written works, including his poetry and political treatises, contain cultural and theological insight applicable not only to his 17th Century English culture, but 21st Century American culture as well. As homosexuality continues to enter the public sphere in Western society, many scholars are uncovering past insights about how sexuality has evolved.

More Germans did not have enough money for meals comprising of meat, fish, poultry or a vegetarian equivalent every day in 2022, according to the latest data tracked by EU statistical office Eurostat. 

The new figures, released by German corporate newsroom Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland on Monday, demonstrated a year-on-year increase of 0.9% to 11.4%, meaning that nearly 10 million people in the most populous EU nation often lacked proper meals. That shocking number rises to 19.3%, when it comes to single parents, marking a solid rise of 2.6% compared to the previous year. 

The statistics were requested by the opposition Die Linke party. Commenting on the figures, the faction's leader in the Bundestag (parliament), Dietmar Bartsch, called for a temporary suspension of sales tax on essential food items and for the state to control supermarket pricing. 

Confidence in US military at two-decade low – poll
Support for the armed forces has plummeted since President Joe Biden took office

Fewer Americans are confident in their military than at any point since 1997, according to a Gallup poll published on Monday. With trust in the armed forces dropping ten points in the last two years, the services are currently grappling with a historic recruitment crisis.

Conducted in June, the poll found 60% of respondents expressing “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in the military, down from 64% last year. Public confidence in the military last dipped to 60% in 1997, and has not been lower since 1988, when it sat at 58%.

While Australians pride themselves, for the most part, in having stricter gun laws than most and not being warlike in disposition, their governing officials have increasingly thought otherwise. War drums are beating. The chatter about acquiring and building armaments is getting more frenzied. As a client state of the US imperium, firmly enmeshed in the security arrangements of the AUKUS agreement, Canberra is becoming increasingly interested in militarising the population and turning the country into a garrison state.

Unfortunately, one of the negative consequences of active hostilities is observed in the foreign trade relations of the countries participating in the conflict. A temporary danger zone does not guarantee safety along trade communication routes. Disrupting the prior steady trading system is costly to the trade balance and frequently leads to major humanitarian crises, such as in export-dependent countries. It is true that the scarcity of certain goods, such as grains (like wheat, for example), on the global market poses a severe danger to the food security of entire nations. It’s no coincidence that a Russian proverb says: “Bread is the staff of life.”

The threat of nuclear annihilation is no more serious than the threat of climate change, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has claimed. Blinken’s critics argue that Washington is risking nuclear war by arming Ukraine.

In an appearance on 60 Minutes Australia on Sunday, Blinken was asked whether nuclear war or climate change represented “the greater threat to humanity.”

“Well, you can’t, I think, have a hierarchy,” he replied. “There are some things that are front and center…including potential conflict, but there’s no doubt that climate represents an existential challenge to all of us.”
