One of the dumbest things we are asked to believe about Israel’s genocide in Gaza is that all these civilians are being butchered because the Palestinians are evil and not the Israelis. That it’s the victims doing evil things and not the perpetrators.

That’s all this gibberish about “human shields” and “self-defense” is meant to do, you know. To make it look like the victims of siege warfare and carpet bombing are the ones responsible for all the death and destruction we are seeing and not the people who are actually doing it.

We’re Basically Being Asked To Believe That The Palestinians Are Genociding Themselves

Brace yourself: a tsunami approaches.

While we squabble over which side is winning this losing battle to lead the country, there is something being concocted in the dens of power, far beyond the public eye, and it doesn’t bode well for the future of this country.

Anytime you have an entire nation so mesmerized by the antics of the political ruling class that they are oblivious to all else, you’d better beware.

Anytime you have a government that operates in the shadows, speaks in a language of force, and rules by fiat, you’d better beware.

And anytime you have a government so far removed from its people as to ensure that they are never seen, heard or heeded by those elected to represent them, you’d better beware.

We’ve got to get our priorities straight if we are to ever have any hope of maintaining any sense of freedom in America.

Concerns youth screen time and AI use far exceed guidance as experts propose rethink to school bans

It's no secret that Australians are grappling with the rapid rise of digital technology, whether it's excessive screen times at home, the inability to tell truth from fiction online, or the intractable impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on institutions and jobs.

Dozens of soon-to-be-retired Australian Abrams tanks will be sent to Ukraine under a $245 million military support package to bolster the war-torn country's fight against Russia's invasion.

More than a year after Kyiv first expressed interest in the aging M1A1 fleet, and months after Australia rejected a request to donate its grounded Taipan helicopters, the Albanese government has confirmed it will now gift 49 of the American-made tanks.

The news that the border-free Schengen Zone is unravelling is scary news for the 420 million citizens living within the passport-free zone. What’s a hundred times scarier is the purposeful deconstruction of relations going on underneath. Most importantly, recent moves by Germany and proposals that remind us of past horrors will undoubtedly spell disaster.

On the geopolitical stage, the West has orchestrated a proxy war, with Ukraine as the battleground and the Ukrainians as sacrificial pawns. The United States and Europe, the maestros of manipulation, have composed a symphony of lies and propaganda, conducting a chorus of condemnations against Russia. Zelenski, the fabricated hero, leads the orchestra of illusions, while Putin, the master of the Kremlin and arguably the most experienced statesman of the modern world, solidifies his leadership on the global geopolitical chessboard.

US House speaker blasts CBS for ‘selectively editing’ interview
Mike Johnson has accused the network of gutting his answers on ‘Face the Nation’

Speaker of the US House of Representatives Mike Johnson has accused CBS of selectively editing his interview to change the context of what he said, posting the original footage on social media as proof.

While cutting pre-taped interviews for time is a standard practice, altering the content and context of the quoted statements is considered journalistic malpractice. Johnson claimed that CBS did just that to his appearance on Sunday’s episode of ‘Face the Nation’.

“This is not just about wildlife,” an expert said. “It’s about the essential ecosystems that sustain human life.”

Monitored populations of the world’s vertebrate animals declined on average by 73% between 1970 and 2020, according to a major report released Wednesday by the World Wild Fund for Nature and the Zoological Society of London.

Germany has halted all arms deliveries to Israel since March, with Berlin now demanding a written guarantee from the Israeli government that these weapons will not be used against Palestinian civilians in Gaza, according to media reports. 

German tabloid Bild reported on Sunday that Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and Economy Minister Robert Habeck, both from the Green Party, were responsible for the decision. Politico later confirmed the report on Monday. 

AS THE WORLD IS GETTING CLOSER TO NUCLEAR ANNIHILATION, THE AMERICA'S CUP IS BATTLED OUT BETWEEN THE NEO-ZEALANDERS AND THE BRITS... WE TAKE TIME OFF FROM THE MAD MEN LEADING THE WORLD, TO SEE HOW THIS 175 YEAR-OLD OLD CONTEST IS GOING....

Tempers were frayed out on the waters, with British skipper Sir Ben Ainslie taking a verbal swipe at Kiwi America's Cup commentator Stephen McIvor, after suffering another loss to Emirates Team New Zealand off Barcelona.

INEOS Britannia have fallen 3-0 behind the cup holders in the first-to-seven series, with Ainslie being heard swearing, seemingly in reference to McIvor, after a post-race interview.

US investment giant BlackRock has hit a new record on assets under management, topping $11.48 trillion in Q3 2024 – equivalent to the nominal GDP of Japan, India and the UK combined, and the valuation growing by nearly $2.4 trillion (the GDP of an Italy or Brazil) since Q3 2023 alone. How does BlackRock make its money? Sputnik explores.

The bombing of the Basque town of Guernica, in Spain, in 1937 “heralded a terrible new age of warfare” that, almost 90 years later, remains graphically notorious as a “wanton man-made holocaust”. Over the last twelve months, Israel has made exceptional progress towards crafting a similar enduring understanding of the hellscape it has created in Gaza.

Christian apologist and math academic Professor John Lennox has challenged the views of evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins on the issue of ultimate justice.

The two academics have debated in person before, but Lennox quoted Dawkins when addressing the issue of suffering, in his latest email circular as President of the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics (OCCA).

The heads of six Australian states will miss a reception for King Charles III when he arrives Down Under, while the British monarch has said he would not oppose the former prison colony declaring itself a republic.

While Australia has been fully independent since 1986, its titular head of state is still the British monarch. A 1999 referendum to declare a republic failed, in part due to the popularity of Queen Elizabeth II at the time.

Charles is due to arrive in Australia later this week. On Monday, the premiers of six federal states informed Canberra they would not be able to attend the reception for the monarch, citing prior commitments.

Funding cuts to the BBC World Service have allowed Russian and Chinese media outlets to spread “unchallenged propaganda” across the Global South, the director-general of the British state media giant has complained.

The BBC World Service broadcasts in around 40 languages to an audience of 320 million people per week. Two years ago, the network cut more than 380 jobs and stopped radio broadcasts in ten languages, including Arabic and Persian.

In a speech in London on Monday afternoon, Davie is expected to argue that “when the World Service retreats, state-funded media operators move in to take advantage,”according to remarks shared with British media outlets in advance.
