Leigh Sales interviewed Tony Abbott, Australia’s Prime Minister, and a pathetic imitation of a conservative politician, on the 7.30 Report on Wednesday night. This image sums it up. Anything but the economy, stupid, is his new mantra. The stupid part is absolutely correct.

This may be the most important article I have ever posted, because it reveals perfectly how the Establishment works and how the Red Tories and Blue Tories contrive to give a false impression of democracy. It is information I can only give you because of my experience as an insider.

A potent myth is being used to justify economic capture by a parasitic class.

They're coming for us, the enemy

but they haven't done anything yet

Before they do, we'd better teach

a lesson they won't forget

Fly our Air Force over them

blow up all their stuff

They won't come to Australia

if they know we're tough

Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Prime Minister Tony Abbott says he is prepared to "step up to the plate" and increase the number of refugees Australia accepts from war-torn Syria, but within the current humanitarian intake.

Our world is a funny place and we try to make as much sense of it as there is no sense in it... But we try and try and try... Eventually we have to decide on what makes "our" world tick. We are necessitating the unnecessary beyond that of survival.

And some people do it with the news of god... rather than the news of the day...

Australia is leading the world in commemorative spending for World War 1 with $8889 allocated for each digger killed in the Great War compared to just $109 per British casualty and a mere $2 for each dead German soldier.
