The primary focus of the Zionist movement and the Israeli lobby is not combating anti-Semitism but rather combating critics of Israel’s colonial apartheid regime and the crimes it is perpetrating against the Palestinian people.

Three years on, there is still no compelling argument, strategic or otherwise, for Australia’s acquiring eight Virginia-class nuclear-­propelled submarines (SSNs). Nor is there any compelling calculation of the large lick of funding – $368bn and more – that the program will soak up. Only Defence seems able to command such stupendous outlays when childcare, aged care, Medicare rebates, the National Disability Insurance Scheme, education and social housing fight it out for every cent they can get. The opportunity costs outweigh the value of the opportunity.

BRICS vs White Man’s Burden: The era of ‘civilizing the savages’ is over

The era of Eurocentrism, when imperialist forces leveraged their self-appointed ‘mission’ to impose their diktats on developing nations, is over

The recent BRICS summit in Kazan is a potent symbol of shifting global dynamics, challenging the longstanding dominance of the West.

Two Australian mathematicians have called into question an old adage, that if given an infinite amount of time, a monkey pressing keys on a typewriter would eventually write the complete works of William Shakespeare.

Known as the "infinite monkey theorem", the thought-experiment has long been used to explain the principles of probability and randomness.

However, a new peer-reviewed study led by Sydney-based researchers Stephen Woodcock and Jay Falletta has found that the time it would take for a typing monkey to replicate Shakespeare's plays, sonnets and poems would be longer than the lifespan of our universe.

Which means that while mathematically true, the theorem is "misleading", they say.

For the past decade there’s been no bigger mainstream media mouthpiece for the Russiagate disinformation campaign than Rachel Maddow, so it should come as no surprise with just a few days left before the 2024 presidential election that the MSNBC host is back to flogging that dead horse. Most recently Maddow was joined by Ukraine coup plotter Valerie Nuland to fearmonger over that pesky Putin’s plans for attempting to steal his third U.S. presidential election in a row.

TJDS guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss wonder why Maddow focuses so much on the nonexistent Russian election interference when Israel’s well-documented efforts to influence our elections receives no attention at all.

BEFORE THE FOLLOWING INTERVIEW WITH TUCKER CARLSON, DONALD TRUMP WAS ON THE JOE ROGAN SHOW...

Conservative journalist Tucker Carlson is conducting a live interview with US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump just days before Election Day. 

Trump has joined Carlson in Glendale, Arizona for a charity event aimed at raising money for the victims of hurricanes Milton and Helene. 

Americans will go to the polls on November 5 to decide between Trump and his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris. The high-stakes election has been described as one of the most contentious and controversial political cycles in recent memory, with both candidates trading insults and accusing each other of wrecking the country.

$20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Google fine ‘symbolic’ – Kremlin
The unspeakable sum should prompt the company to heed the demands of banned Russian broadcasters, Dmitry Peskov has said

The staggering fine of $20 decillion Google now owes to Russian broadcasters who were banned from YouTube is “symbolic” and intended to push the company to rectify the issues it has with them, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.

The eye-watering sum is supposed to make the company “pay attention” to the problem and fix it, Peskov suggested on Thursday.

“This is a specifically formulated sum, I actually can’t even pronounce this figure, but it is rather filled with symbolism,” he said, explaining that Google “should not limit the actions of our broadcasters on a whim.”

George Beebe, long-time head of Russia analysis at the CIA, a 27-year veteran of the agency and now the current head of Grand Strategy at the Quincy Institute in Washington, is just the kind of American the world needs right now. Understated, immensely knowledgeable and decent, he understands the Russo-Ukraine war in its widest sense and says three options remain open, only one that does not risk disaster for us all.

Why is EU’s rotating presidency praising a country that flipped off the bloc?
Hungary’s Viktor Orban has congratulated Georgia on an election that saw the pro-Western party lose

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban took a break this week from annoying the EU establishment at home to annoy it abroad.

“For so many years now, the people of Georgia have been striving and fighting for democracy,” unelected European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proclaimed in the wake of the Georgian parliamentary elections. “They have a right to know what happened this weekend.”

UN Web TV reported that the meeting centered on the “Maintenance of peace and security of Ukraine” and addressed concerns surrounding North Korea’s involvement. The event marked a sharp escalation in the already tense relations between North Korea, Russia, and the Western-aligned nations on the council.

The release of an LGBTQ-themed poppy badge has triggered a heated debate in the UK ahead of Remembrance Day.   

In the lead-up to the memorial day on November 11, which honors armed forces members who have died in combat, the Royal British Legion (RBL) has listed a poppy brooch with a pride flag attached to it as part of its annual fundraising campaign, the Poppy Appeal.  

The RBL is a charity that helps serving and former members of the UK’s armed forces. The Poppy Appeal is held every year during the remembrance period.  

The badge featuring the iconic red poppy with the multicolored flag “symbolises support for our LGBTIQ+ community who are a vital part of our Armed Forces past and present,” states the description on the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Shop website.

Australia’s Foreign Minister Penny Wong has finally acknowledged that Israel is in gross breach of international law, and must not ignore the United Nations, as it continues its ruthless military attacks on the people of Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon.

In a statement this week rejecting the decision of the Israeli Parliament to ban the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, Minister Wong hit out at Israel’s decision to restrict the UN agency’s lifesaving work. This follows calls from Australia, Japan, South Korea, Canada, France, Germany and the UK not to impose the ban.
