At the UN: A megalomanic muses about destroying a country. Albo? Gets a sycophantic selfie with him. A genocidal maniac talks about more genocide. Most countries, anti-genocide, walk out. Albo? Our representative stays. He knows he's on the wrong side of history. He surely knows. Yet he persists.

Benjamin Netanyahu's family name was originally Mileikowsky (or Mileikovsky) before his grandfather and father changed it to Netanyahu after immigrating to Mandatory Palestine. What are the real names of Israeli officials? Why did they change them? youtu.be/_SHC30pfLZk?...

A short on the latest Big Short guy's shorts. youtube.com/shorts/W88f6... Crashes are when it's time for a war to distract everyone and emergency powers to clamp down on everyone who won't be distracted, I guess - and a weapons sector that'll be the only safe investment.

Dumb time for the European elite to be talking up a siege of Kaliningrad and conflict when they've got no fuel and with winter coming on - but great time, with no fuel and winter coming on, to have an excuse for martial law or similar restrictions on their own restive citizens.

Paul Keating says Aukus locking Australia into a US war against China, which it would ‘certainly lose’
Former prime minister says US would ‘scuttle itself back to San Diego’, leaving Australia to deal with retribution from China * Follow our Australia news live blog for latest updates * Get our new political email, free app or daily news podcast Aukus critic Paul Keating has said the submarine deal is locking Australia in to any future US conflict with China – “a war America would certainly lose” – and making Australia a target for retribution. The former prime minister seized on comments reported out of Washington this week from Republican congressman Michael McCaul – a China hawk and co-chair of the Congressional Friends of Australia caucus – who said “Australia is a target” for enemies of the US already. However, McCaul argued that greater integration with the US military would better protect Australia rather than leaving it more vulnerable. Continue reading...

My local federal Nat member's email this morning on Labor's latest stuffup - and she's right, for once: "Labor’s visa failures are leaving farmers with fewer workers, greater safety risks and crops that still need harvesting." Maybe she should spend time in ICU - she'd appreciate others even more.

What this guy says. What most western governments, the Epstein class, beholden to evil for whatever reason, want to do is label this man's speech anti-semitic and ultimately illegal - but thankfully he is clearly Jewish, so we'll have to let him say it for us.
