Australian grandpa enjoying retirement. Hoping to spread awareness of the fact that "The ultra-wealthy and the mega-corporations they control are shaping global rules to serve their interests at the expense of people everywhere". No unsolicited DMs please.

Restricting international students further in Australian universities will destroy them by stealth. This is a push from far-right and "MAGA" movements against higher education institutions, often framed as a battle against perceived "leftist indoctrination". Ironically it's what Khmer Rouge did too.

Australia exports the vast bulk of our fossil fuels overseas via foreign-owned mega-corporations and then we buy it back. #auspol #iranwar

Another day. Another day of distraction, corruption, lies, dishonesty, deception, deceit, fabrication, fraudulence, duplicity, hypocrisy, falsity, pretence, disingenuousness, fakeness, deviousness, and distortion. And innocent children being murdered. For billionaires' profits.

Think of all the most atrocious things that have happened in the world in the last 5 years. Now note that Billionaire wealth surged to a record $18.3 trillion in 2025, an 81% increase since 2020, with fortunes growing three times faster than in previous years. Coincidence? You better off?

People talk about lot about war crimes and war criminals and look to leaders that instigate or are them. However, almost every one of them involved a human pulling a trigger. Following orders just doesn't cut it with me.

Advice for all those wondering about the reasons for all military strikes and wars: FOLLOW.THE.MONEY. Now, just investigate who financially benefits from oil price volatility and weapons industry profits. Smoke screens like "regime change", "political control", "bad polls", etc., are exactly that.

The NRA justifies gun ownership primarily through the belief that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to bear arms, which it argues is essential for self-defense and security against a tyrannical government. So how tyrannical does it need to get? Asking for a friend.

The lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan must not be forgotten. The United States has neither the mandate, the resources, nor the moral clarity to undertake another catastrophic war in the Middle East.

Israel's pre-emptive action has caused a rise in oil prices that Saudi Arabia will financially benefit from through higher oil export revenues (funnelled through Aramco, the state-owned oil giant), enhanced geopolitical leverage (e.g. see Saudi's Vision 2030), and increased investment power. Hmm...

You probably know about the fossil fuel lobby's "Advance Australia" that spent a fortune trying to crush the Greens. The ALP had one too - the ironically named "Better Australia" - which also spent vast sums lying about the Greens. This election was about big money trying to stop progressive policy.

The election did not send any messages to Labor And certainly not this message. The decoupling from America needs to start In order to revive our defence and foreign policies, Labor needs to read the room And, Australia has an opportunity to be more independent in our region as a middle power
