Yep, all 'money' today is digital (pretend money) not backed up by gold reserves after Howard sold off our gold reserves.

It's only backed up by privatising banks & ever increasing shareholder investment + housing/land debts which is why they can't let real estate prices to fall. #auspol

A great decision of the LNP to outsource our fuel reserves 🤦🏻🤷🏼

I would never have realised all this crap unless I was on Twitter where I learned the truth.

Best we can do now is on Bluesky but it doesn't reach or have the influence Twitter had.

Elon bought Twitter & was determined to ruin it. It's what the rich & powerful do. #auspol

Fkn Hawke & Keating introduced Neoliberalsim to Aust & ruined the ALP in the process.

They were never on the side of the working man & destroyed the unions...the only voice/power we really had.

Rupert's IPA has been in control of both our political parties for decades. #auspol

Both parties are Neolibs & have been for decades.

99% of voters don't know that Neoliberalsm was invented by the 1% to enrich themselves at the expense of the 99%.

+ we allowed Rupert & his rich mates to have control of MSM & brainwash the public. #auspol

Let's be honest, that's what happened.

Mate if you have time watch 'The Capture' on IView.

Made a few years ago but it will come true...if it isn't already.

Virtually impossible to teach humans in time to control AI as it's already in the hands of nefarious players...you know, like the dark web.

Billionaires Only
The one percent continue to have their way with the rest of the world, especially the most vulnerable.

Your reminder that we didn't get hit back for the first Gulf War for ten full years when they attacked us on 9/11.

Just because we stop fighting Iran in "4-6 weeks" doesn't mean they won't take 10 years to hurt us.

Again.

Witnesses Describe Horror Scene After “Double-Tap” Bombing Kills Over 20 at Popular Tehran Square In Iran, the U.S. and Israel are employing tactics used in Israel’s genocide in Gaza, the “War on Terror” and Trump’s recent attacks on alleged drug boats in the Carribean.

But none of their actions turned out well.

Vietnam, Afghanistan & Iraq were disasters that they basically LOST.

All these 'wars' only created 'terrorists' 😡

The Yanks think they alone won WW2 but that was only in their movies.😂

Anxiety is an instinct & natural response by animals & humans when they have experienced bad outcomes by ignoring warning signs previously.

Animals can hear distant thunder long before we can, so best to take note if they start seeking cover or high ground for no apparent reason.

Just because our #auspol government chooses to go along with genocidal maniacs & barking mad American dictators, doesn't mean that we have to

We can't unelect them but we can certainly tell them that they do not represent us

He’s right. This is going to blow up big time because current politicians have not studied history. My despair is climbing.

Why is it always up to David Shoebridge to highlight the flagrant disregard for rules based order by our so called allies? Clearly Albo isn't up to the job and Australia's media is MIA. Where is the outrage?

Not that we don’t think the Iranian gov stinks but Netanyahu and Trump are much more dangerous

David Shoebridge has unleashed on the Labor govt for backing in Trump & Netanyahu’s latest illegal war in Iran
“which has already killed more than a hundred school kids”, with schools & hospitals “blown apart by Israeli missiles”
“That isn’t about the Iranian people.”💥 #auspol

You can fool all of the people all of the time.

Old Abe was wrong.

Imagine how bummed everyone will be when they find out there WERE no WMDs and we invaded Iran FOR NOTHING!

Trump thinks bombing Iran will cause a revolution. He's an ignorant moron. In the face of a foreign invasion by the US and Israel, the citizens of Iran are consolidating their support for the regime, not trying to overthrow it. Nothing brings people together like a threat from outside.

By Killing Khamenei, the West Created a Martyr – and Mainstream Media Is Ignoring the Muslim Backlash Ali Khamenei was not Saddam Hussein or Muammar Gaddafi. Killing him will have religious reverberations throughout the Muslim world for years to come.

"By killing [Khamenei], the US and Israel didn’t just strike Iran’s government. They struck a spiritual leader with transnational religious authority – and created exactly the kind of martyr that galvanizes movements for generations." - fascinating and important piece by Iran scholar Narges Bajoghli

Aust only has 36 days of petrol in reserve & that is held in Texas and Lousiana.

We can be assured if Trump needs it we won't be getting it. #auspol

The world doesn't owe a debt to Israel.

We gave them a safe place to live after WW2 but they can't be satisfied with that, they have to kill & rob the people who already lived there instead of sharing it with them.

It's that simple really. #auspol

Let the reasoned people of Australia be heard @albomp.bsky.social
@senatorwong.bsky.social
@tonyburkemp.bsky.social
WE owe no debt to defend Israel -the genocidal pariah Zionist State intent on imposing hegemony over the Middle East.
It takes a life for an eye.
Let it reap what it sows
#auspol

Trump has taken on not only a country but a religion.

Iran is an Islamic Republic with a population that is roughly 90-95% Shia Muslim.

Shia Muslims make up approximately 10–15% of the global Muslim population, numbering between 200 and 300 million people worldwide as of 2025-2026 #auspol

Australia’s entrenched duopoly has spent so many decades kissing the arse of Uncle Sam (and the Orange Orangutang) that it’s become an insane obsession:
➡️ followed it into Vietnam
➡️ followed it into Iraq
➡️ followed it into Afghanistan
…and will soon dutifully follow it into the Middle East
#auspol

I see on Media Watch that Nick Cotesworth works for the firm for whom he is spruiking their weight loss drugs - without TV channel admitting his bias.

That should be classed as fraud. #auspol

I think we would have to take a class action of voters against individual pollies to prove we were 'duped' (and incurred a loss) by voting for his/her false public promises.

Of course, that wouldn't be hard as they all lie, it's just finding a law firm game enough to do it. #auspol

Petition: Overhaul Australia’s outdated federal lobbying laws Working together for a fairer democracy

Help lend jellyfish @albomp.bsky.social a spine. Sign the petition to end the Payment for Policy by 'donations' and post-politics 'consultancies' from lobbyists/billionaires. australiandemocracy.org.au/petition-lob...

Sadly Trump has proven that even laws or world voices can't change an evil dictator with fire power.

"might is now right" is the current saying & big money buys political power.

They can even stop us Aussies protesting now like in dictatorships. #auspol
