In the U.S. do any democratic institutions function? "Dictatorships invert the social order. Honesty, hard work, compassion, solidarity self-sacrifice are negative qualities. Those who embody these qualities are marginalized & persecuted. The heartless, corrupt mendacious cruel & mediocre thrive."

Saddam wasn’t removed for 'freedom' -he started selling oil in Euros. Gaddafi - he threatened the dollar with a gold-backed African currency. Maduro - Venezuela dared to sell oil in Yuan & step outside US financial control. Mess with the petrodollar -magically become a dictator.

Hey @albomp.bsky.social here’s more confirmation for u re the difference bn Z10nism & Judaism. Funny one would have thought a PM would know, but it seems the message just doesn’t get through. You are enabling fascism via Zionism yet you call it antisemitism It would be hilarious if u werent the PM

BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped. The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists. I wonder what instructions the ABC hierarchy has given its journalists.

The problem is not that Trump didn't go through Congress. The problem is that America is bombing brown people for oil again.

The orchestrated spate of calls for a Royal Commission have persistently ignored one glaring legal issue. ...the commission ‘would almost certainly be held to be an interference with the course of justice and consequently to constitute a contempt of court.’”

🤔…given half a chance, this would be the response by the incumbent PM, and NSW Premier #auspol

"Bombshell takeaways from Aussie report spelling future climate doom." Scientists have warned us for decades. How will those in comfortable bubbles explain to their children that they have allowed this to unravel? Schopenauer, "What people commonly call fate is mostly their own stupidity."

Is it surprising? Considering how the two major parties in the US, UK and Australia have for years relinquished their responsibilities to citizens; and let big business dictate terms.

💯

The number of agents escorting an old man, a foreign national leader, off a tarmac just make America look like the criminals they are.

It's the capitalist plan, an ignorant populace is far easier to control.

I live in the penal colony of Australia and you could be referring to the clown we call Prime Minister. Pretends to be a lefty but is so far up Trumps arse all you can see is his heels. And refuses to utter the word Genocide.

@albomp.bsky.social promised #transparency, but his preference for secrecy is becoming a national scandal - worse than Scott Morrison. It's not requests for transparency that cost money, it's resistance to transparency. #FOI #auspol

No prominent muster dogs have signed a letter to call for a royal commission into Bondi. They know better

"The malnutrition departments in Rantisi Hospital and Patient Friends Hospital, both in Gaza City, care for some of the most severely ill children in Gaza" #TheSameerProject #Gaza

ADAM Anti-Israel Maduro & his wife were ripped from their beds by armed terrorists despite Venezuela producing ZERO fentanyl. Meanwhile the ISRAELI Sackler Family have verifiably kiIIed 500,000 Americans with their drug empire. And nothing happens to them. You know exactly why.

A very long and important THREAD - The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974. And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself. Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

Completely inappropriate for ABC Sport to run an interview during the cricket tea break with a spokesperson for athletes pushing for a Royal Commission. No other perspectives canvassed - just a platform handed to one side of the argument on a silver platter. Appalling.

And the world cup.. Remove them from the Olympics etc etc.

So l, surely Formula 1 will remove the American races just like they did the Russian GP? Keep it consistent right?

USA just showing what the rest of the world knew was always hidden under the veneer - selfishness, greed and cruelty

🌻this is a perfect analogy of recent events …😂I’m laughing because otherwise I’d be drinking myself to death due to the madness of the Orange Grifter playing his own version of Apocalypse Now🤦🏻‍♀️😊 #Trump #Venezuela #Trumpisawarcriminal #uspol #WIII

Then there's this....

If you think Trump's comments about capturing oil in V aren't sincere because the country has bad, old and inefficient fossil infrastructure, I regret to inform you that all fossil fuel infrastructure is bad, old and inefficient and none of these people actually care about the process or product

#Andor warned us and we still haven’t listened

And there ya have it… Officials from top Wall Street firms will be traveling to Venezuela to investigate “investment prospects” of the country. “The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors.”

Football has to boycott FIFA. It’s long overdue, and surely, surely, surely the Peace Prize thing is so obviously past the point of no-return that national football associations have to do something about it. We cannot have a World Cup in USA run by Infantino; it’s something none of us can endorse.

"How Europe and “the west” responds to Trump now and the actions that governments take downstream from that is going to set the path for 2026. Because Trump isn’t just a rogue, out-of-control president, America is a rogue state. And the longer we fail to acknowledge that, the more danger we are in."

Doing the bidding of a major source of their income I suppose. Follow the money. As usual.

Given our incredible track record of regime changes e.g. Iran (wtf to fubar), Iraq (Saddam to ISIS), Afghanistan (Taliban to Taliban), I’m sure Venezuelans feel pretty good about their prospects.

Disgraceful bullshit by SBS news this evening. Maduro wasn’t “captured “ you clowns, he was kidnapped by a rogue state that wants to steal oil. Fucking white washing trumps illegal activities is bullshit

when nothing mattered for 40 years as we slowly sank from neoliberal to neocon to trumpism as everyone slowly melted their brains with technology, and at the same time slowly constricted any fun out of societ with tired moralism while the wealthy priced us all out of house, food and home

Someone I know counted the number of times Venezuela appeared in project 2025 (18 times). You can go check too. Have a look at page 179 for instance… static.heritage.org/project2025/20…

How many times has Israel violated the Gaza ceasefire? Here are the numbers aje.io/usdhib

Grant Hackett calling for a royal commission?! Because values?! Accused of domestic violence, smashed his house up, lost in the casino out of control drunk, groped a fellow passenger’s nipple on a plane, too dangerous for his own family …that Grant Hackett?

The window message at advision in Wagga Wagga regularly changes, the message remains the same, Palestinians are suffering a genocide right now. @ronnisalt.bsky.social @davemilbo.bsky.social @mylesjaybee.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social

I'd love for the media to ask Anthony Albanese's wife Jodie Hayden how she feels about the new "rules-based order", now that @albomp.bsky.social has endorsed kidnapping the spouses of heads of state as "peaceful" and "democratic". Can Iran, NK, China or Russia do this, now? #auspol #blowback #labor

ABC is f*cked
