Listen to a reading of this article: I've been ranting all week about the shocking war-with-China propaganda escalation in Australian mainstream media, and I feel like I could easily scream about it for another month without running out of vitriol for the disgusting freaks who are pushing this filth into the consciousness of my countrymen. One really really can't say enough unkind things about people who are openly trying to pave the way toward an Atomic Age world war; in a remotely sane world such monsters would be driven from human civilization and die cold and alone in the wilderness with nothing but their bloodlust to keep them company.
War hawks should be sentenced to time in Ukraine where children are being press-ganged into war -and even then with little training. Perhaps 250,000 have been killed, many 15, 16 year-olds, and according to the way these things are calculated, 5 X that number have been wounded. The hospitals must be stinking with the smell of rotting flesh, and what about the mothers? They must be raving lunatics by now, I know I would be. Send the war hawks there. Let them tell bereaved mothers and fathers their version of the glory of war. I'd like to see that.
I have commented previously that narrative managers use the same tactic that used car salesmen use, of pretending that there is an agreement and you're just now deciding whether you want a nuclear war with just Russia or with Russia and China.
I was just watching an old video of mine that cited John Pilger's excellent article on Afghan women and the agency they had before 'our' war on burkas fucked it up. Yours is an agenda we should all be paying attention to, Caitlin. It's horrible how Australia is being used.
Sitting here in downtown Sydney preparing to head home to the US tomorrow morning. Seen TV News all this week about confronting China. I keep asking myself, confront them for what? Making peace between Iran & KSA? So sad the vassalation disease that has clearly infected Europe, especially Germany, has found its way to Australia & New Zealand. Keep up the great work Caitlin. #EndTheEmpireOfLies #AbolishNATO
Try getting a letter published in the so called liberal press expressing an opposing point of view here in Oz. It ain't going to happen. They stay on the Washington/London/wef message and don't want any dissent on their pages. Paid for stooges brainwashing the educated middle class into more compliance. Oz at war with China . Give me a break. The hierarchy here performing the Globalists function as useful idiots.
Gasp! I wonder how Russia Russia Racheal Madcow will survive this turn of events. I cut the cable many moons ago so I don’t know what she’s saying lately to stay “relevant” and get her $40,000 an hour for propping up the Empire “from the Left”, but this one is going to be hard for even she-of-twisted-brain-and-tongue. Thank you Caitlin for saying with such fire and decency what Americans are no longer capable of even comprehending. We live in Upside Down World here, since Bush The Dumber, and are only just now starting to think “Ahhhh, what?”
What this piece is missing is the Hermann Goring quote
(?)
“Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America nor, for that matter, in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship. ... [V]oice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”
I blame the US for what is going on in Australia and elsewhere. Perhaps if people had payed more attention, shown more outrage toward our middle eastern wars and condemned the US for it's repetitive carnage we wouldn't be on such a war footing with Russia, or China, and the threat of a nuclear war. I not only blame those we have elected into office, but a complicit media who peddles war as well. It's sickening to watch Biden and his kind push for climate change, yet pushes an agenda that could kill all life on this planet forever.
The U.S. is so weak, it's like the lion in "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" by Ernest Hemingway. Gut-shot and dying, it saves the last of it's energy for one, final spring to maul those around it.
We lose practically every war we are in: Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan.
We smash up people's lives and go back to our vast carelessness.
When I was a teen, the national debt was one trillion dollars. Now, it is $31.6 trillion. We print money and inflate away the savings of elderly people.
We're dying in record numbers due to the shot. Follow "Died Suddenly" on twitter.
But, as Caitlin points out, we're great at propaganda!
I've been following the remarks of various psychologists on sociopaths. Although they are only 1 to 4% of the population at the most, and usually can't get any traction in a small town because everyone learns who they are and minimizes them, on a global scale, they get into positions of power, like Biden.
Who knew that in 2020 we would be in a proxy war with a nuclear power, and picking a fight with another?! It seems insane, even for sociopaths like Joe Biden, Victoria Nuland, Lindsey Graham, etc.
John Pilger has been a voice of reason for decades. The increased noise around the need for war is because these same hawks recognize that their goals are soon to fail. Folks are rising up all over. Waiting for the US citizens to join the fight against war. Then we'll see substantive change...
I am wondering are there any legitimate polls done in Australia to know how the people there are actually reacting to this? Years of propaganda have probably taken a toll but aren't there still some sane people there? Is your media controlled as ours is? No independent news organisations that state the truth? I know how they have corrupted most every government around the world but Australia is a big country!
Actually I think in a remotely sane world, such monsters would NOT be driven from human civilization to die cold alone in the wilderness. It's hard to conjure a truly sane world from here, but I think in such a world such "monsters" would be rare, and pitied--they wouldn't be driven out, the rest of society would try to heal them. If found impossible, they might have to be locked up with the rest of the incurably insane, but treated well..
They have been doing the same in Europe, with both the European political mis-leaders and the media repeating this false narrative and battering it into the minds of the people. Successfully.
Western civilization has always glorified war, especially Hollywood. Written western history is mostly about war or palace intrigue. This is what happens with patriarchy... imbalance of yin and yang, the masculine and feminine sides of each person. Time to promote PEACE and COOPERATION and KINDNESS!
Australia Is Set To Spend Over $100 Billion Over The Coming Decades On Submarines Under The AUKUS Deal.
The US Navy wants a full-service submarine hub in Australia that can oversee all underwater activity in the Asia Pacific, including production and repairs, Defense News reported Thursday.

Thanks, I share your articles with many Americans who are so weary of its policies.
