European empires invented the "savage" to justify land seizure, conversion, exploitation, and suppression. These narratives persist in academia, curricula, and culture, enabling disinformation that repurposes colonial claims of Indigenous primitiveness for domination.

On this day in 1961, the US, UK and Belgium assassinated Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the Republic of Congo, because he sought to restore national control over the country's mineral reserves. Remember Lumumba!

Amy Remeikis: Now Ley must own the Coalition walking away from legislation it said it wanted, while the government gets to pretend it tried to meet its expectations. In more crass terms, Ley f–ked around. Now she’s finding out. #auspol www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Don't always agree with Shane Dowling but he is right in this respect. kangaroocourtofaustralia.com/2026/01/18/l...

Donald Trump has not assembled a “Board of Peace” for Gaza. He has assembled a Board of Occupation. The future of Gaza is not up to Trump, Blair or Netanyahu. That is up to the Palestinian people.

#Zionism In 1975, the UN passed resolution 3379 declaring "Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination." In 1991, it was rescinded WITHOUT EXPLANATION as it was a condition set by Israel for its participation in the Madrid Conference which in itself achieved nothing. #auspol

It's not that hard folks. Putin ordered Trump to destroy the U.S. from the inside. And that is precisely what he is doing.

"Let’s be clear: all of the acts in the definition of a “hate crime” are already crimes within the Criminal Code. The point of the new hate crime concept is that it is the thing that defines a “hate group”. These groups are caught by the regime because they promote such crimes."

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Exactly. It's all so predictable and lacking in original thought (or integrity. . .)

"Eight military vehicles belonging to the occupation army, carrying 30 soldiers (men and women), raided the Ein al-Hilweh community and attacked the homes of three families . The raid involved destructive searches, overturning belongings, spilling food , and breaking furniture"(Eye on #Palestine)

End of subject

It's "culturally unsafe" to have a Palestinian Aus author advocate against the systematic slaughter of hundreds of thousands of her people, but it's "a good thing" for the president of apartheid Israel, which has committed daily massacres and mass starvation for 2yrs, to visit us. Unbearably racist.

There are over 250,000 Arab Australians in this country - Israel has been slaughtering our kin in the Levant in the thousands, and illegally occupying land in Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria. We are not allowed to protest this. Because "social cohesion" Get absolutely fucked.

Seems like our Australian Federal and State Govts have folded under intense foreign influence and ASIO has missed this as well. Yet we are paying for defence capabilities against our largest trading partner that may never eventuate . It's fucked up, people. #auspol

Cartoon by @deadder.bsky.social.

You know, in a normal world, a Jewish programming director inviting a Palestinian author to speak would be celebrated as a positive example of this “social cohesion” thing. But I guess it’s only “social cohesion” if an Arab woman is being battered and smeared by News Corp.

It’s a pretty unremarkable cartoon. Must be some wretched soft cocks running the paper these days. If I was the editor I’d be calling in all the cartoonists and telling them I wanted a new illo everyday telling these whiny cunts to fuck off.

Exactly

Israeli Bastardry continues
