The Bondi Beach shooting has been weaponised by Australian Jews, to put a political hit on Palestinian-Australian writer Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah, by forcing the Adelaide Festival to withdraw her invitation for the […]
The post Zionist Jews Mark Leibler and Jeremy Leibler have Palestinian-Australian Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah sacked from Adelaide Writers’ Week ...
As a wave of protests swept across Iran last night, the internet was completely shut down. I have no idea what is happening to my friends, my family, or anyone else. My best friend Champ was at the demonstration. I desperately hope he is safe.
Iran is a nation wanting its soul back. Protesters burn the Islamic Republic flag and replace it with Iran’s ...
These are tense hours for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader and head of state. Thousands of protesters are flocking to the streets to protest the economy. Iran has not seen a wave of unrest like this since the 2022 Mahsa Amini protests, after Amini was killed for allegedly not wearing her veil properly. During a televised speech in ...
The Middle East has long been organised around two competing logics: pragmatic alignment and ideological alignment. Before the 7 October war, these logics produced two regional blocs that structured most political, diplomatic and security behaviour. The Palestinian attack and invasion that triggered the war ruptured both systems. Incentives shifted, ...
As per J. M. Barrie, one either believes in fairies, or they don’t. I take a similar approach to Rory Stewart. To his legions of Rest is Politics listeners, the ex-Tory MP, bedroom-squatter, and Afghanistan-botherer is a sage – as right-wing a voice as their timid and tiny middle-class minds can handle, successfully neutralised by co-hosting with ...
For the third time in a week, Minnesota is making national headlines, and for all the wrong reasons. In a massive show of federal force against a resistant sanctuary metropolis, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) deployed 2,000 federal agents to Minneapolis-St. Paul in the largest immigration enforcement operation in the nation’s history. ...
The US experienced a serious violent crime increase of 59 per cent during the Biden Administration. Despite that increase, Americans remained safer from violent crime than Australians.
Yes, you did just read that correctly.
Australians are more likely to be victims of violent crime than Americans; much more, in fact.
In the most recent comparable ...
George Orwell noted: ‘War against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it.’
The 20th Century was the time of total war, when societies mobilised whole industries and whole populations to produce weapons. This was dressed up in terms such as ‘For King and Country’ and ‘Defending the Fatherland’. In ...
It seems to be criminal cosplay season for Donald Trump, as he successively takes on the roles first of kidnapper, then pirate. There is a case, albeit disputed, to be made under the laws of the sea for the legality of the seizure of the tanker Marinera. There is none under international law for the seizure of the admittedly odious Nicolás Maduro. But ...
The socialist left was on parade in the final innings of 2025. The long cold shadow cast by “The 2026 Billionaire Tax Act,” a ballot initiative in California to be voted on in November, has led tech billionaires to take flight out of the state and land in the zero-income-tax paradises of Texas and Florida. The initiative seeks a one-time 5 percent tax ...
The worst forecasting error in British government history may be unfolding as we speak. While much attention is given to grand projects, such as HS2, which end up costing tens of billions of pounds more than they were supposed to, these at least have a start and finish date – and something tangible emerges at the end. The same can’t be said for ...
