Gus Leonisky's blogbypassing federal legislation banning nuclear power.....The federal Coalition’s dissenting report on a Senate inquiry into nuclear power claims that Australia’s “national security” would be put at risk by retaining federal legislation banning nuclear power and that the “decision to purchase nuclear submarines makes it imperative for Australia to drop its ban on nuclear energy.”

honestly corrupt, LYING and absent-minded joe.....Regarding Biden’s apparent slide into dementia, I have a real concern that it is quite deliberate, and I am alone in what have suspected for a long time. As, if it was for real, his acute signs of mental decline, would result in that his party would be most concerned, even to a greater degree than the opposition. Mental and physical health is paramount to anyone being able to serve those who elected them to public office. If true that Biden is not up for the job, The DNC (Democratic National Committee) would be looking for a viable alternative to him, and too to replace his less than impressive vice president for the next elections, as presidents have and do die in office.

the sordid, operational details of the anglo/saxon empire....
At every stage of its proceedings against Julian Assange, the US Imperium has shown little by way of tempering its vengeful impulses. The WikiLeaks publisher, in uncovering the sordid, operational details of a global military power, would always have to pay. Given the 18 charges he faces, 17 fashioned from that most repressive of instruments, the US Espionage Act of 1917, any sentence is bound to be hefty. Were he to be extradited from the United Kingdom to the US, Assange will disappear into a carceral, life-ending dystopia.

no diplomacy, peace, or sanity. why?......It is slowly and reluctantly dawning on Western officials and their servile media that the Ukraine counteroffensive is failing. Not only the two-month-old counteroffensive but indeed the entire conflict. Ukraine hasn’t a chance of prevailing against Russia’s superior forces. Still, the violence and killing go on. No diplomacy, peace, or sanity. Why? BY Finian Cunningham
Only a couple of months ago, the Western media were full of bravado claims that the United States’ and NATO’s weapons and training would turn the tide for a “stunning victory” against Russia. Today, those same media are meekly reporting on a “grinding counteroffensive” (Washington Post, New York Times, CNN) and “failed expectations” (London Times).
the deceitful species of war forever.....Homo erectus branched into a few species. Homo neanderthalensis and homo sapiens being the most well known. Yet, it seems that, apart from a few isolated pockets, homo sapiens has vanished from the earthly landscapes. Homo sapiens has been overcome by the new evolving species, homo Bellator and his cousin homo Pugnatus (also known as h. fistfightus), while the homo Ovispastorus is still relegated to the poems of John Milton — especially Lycidas — where all hopes are destroyed, because we all die, including the sheep.
Doctor Johnson was annoyed with Milton’s allegories that displayed less knowledge beyond a crying shepherd who has lost his companion…
bad apples wormed to the core of justice....Breaking news shows how Dr. Fauci has benefited from the plague of unknown origins, the January 6th committee obstructs justice in the case against Trump... again, and we look at how Merrick Garland's ploy to save Biden may legally backfire.

FREE JULIAN ASSANGE NOW.................
sunshine weirdoes.....Which is a greater threat to the average American, sunburn or lack of medical care? Well, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has shown she’s not going to do anything about the latter, so at least she’s dedicating time and energy to reducing your exposure to the sun’s harmful rays in the form of a recent video she recorded demanding changes to the FDA’s regulations regarding sunscreen. Guest host Craig “Pasta” Jardula, along with usual host Jimmy Dore and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger, discuss this critical issue AOC is taking on, all for the benefit of the American people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkmOfEZuSQA Here’s Why Everyone Is DONE With AOC

BIDEN WAS LOST WITHOUT HIS TELEPROMPTER..... JEAN-PIERRE READS THE OFFICIAL SCRIPT BECAUSE JOE IS UNABLE TO...
... and they've run out of ammos....Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has toured several military units posted on the Donetsk front, including the notorious ‘Azov’ and ‘Aidar’. In a video posted on his social media on Monday, Zelensky can be seen meeting with Azov founder and neo-Nazi Andrey Biletsky inside a bunker. An official statement by his office says Zelensky visited a number of units, including the 5th Separate Assault Brigade and the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, as part of a working visit to the “Soledar sector.” The town of Soledar itself has been in Russian hands since January, and the nearby Artyomovsk (aka Bakhmut) since May.
it's a cash jungle out there.....The Australian dollar hit a nine-month low against the US dollar Monday.
the funny war far side, when victors and vanquished are equally hungry.....Bill Mauldin’s World War II cartoons showed the American infantryman’s war: muck, flying bullets, exhaustion, pompous fools of officers. Infantrymen loved them, then the American public. They’ve never entirely disappeared from memory, although now most Americans only know Willie and Joe, Mauldin’s iconic protagonists, from the affectionate references in Peanuts. Charles Schultz, quondam dogface, honored Mauldin in his work for decades. BY David Randall
tepid public policies written in washington......These days the politics in the Australian parliament is little more than puerile game-playing, echoing what goes on endlessly and tediously in the undergraduate political clubs in our universities. It’s all about organising and winning the numbers. It lacks an ethical core, resulting in the country being paralysed by the politics of ennui and hopelessness. Prime Minister Albanese seems all at sea when it comes to changing this depressing political culture.
kaganism: a unified american ideology for warmongering until it hurts......The Iraq war debacle, the relative (to Bush) restraint of the Obama administration, and the 2016 anti-interventionist campaign of Donald Trump may have seemingly discredited the neo-conservative movement and its personalities, but they have come roaring back. This new stage in American foreign policy could be characterized as Kaganism: neither Democrat or Republican, but rather a non-partisan 21st century crusade for “liberalism.”
counting the price of a warmongering intervention in 2022....Ukraine Should Beware of Brits Bearing Gifts (May 2022) Tory leaders looking to bolster their political fortunes could be making a negotiated end to the war harder to reach. A negotiated settlement increasingly seems like the only way to end the violence and suffering in Ukraine. Yet, almost unnoticed by world, the path to a ceasefire is being complicated by some long-distance belligerents: three top members of the United Kingdom’s government.
newly elected congressional republicans are far less hawkish than mitch....After Russia invaded Ukraine in February of last year, stunning Europe, McConnell saw an opening. Now was the time to bring Finland and Sweden, the two Scandinavian holdouts, into NATO. Meeting with Finnish President Sauli Niinistö and the country’s diplomats a month later over dinner at the country’s Washington embassy, McConnell and Cotton lobbied them to join the military alliance and promised to deliver the Republican votes in the Senate to ratify their ascension.
