The tyrant doesn’t need a pretext for tyranny. And there is no point in appealing for justice when the oppressor intends on being unjust. True in Aesop’s time. True now

He was the worst President in history. And when he got voted out, he tried to stage a coup. Then he stole national secrets and sold the ones he didn't store in the bathroom.
He was convicted of fraud, found liable of sexual assault and convicted of 34 felonies. He is half a billion dollars in debt, owned by God only knows who, and the biggest national security risk the nation has ever had.
But at least he's not a Black woman.

We will be told “ the voters never get it wrong “ and “we can work with any President”.
I beg to differ. Electing a President with Trump’s record is appalling, beyond belief and not in Australia’s national interests. We have sacrificed our independence to a dysfunctional nation!

Imagine if there were 46 female presidents in a row and the first 2 men got beat by Roseanne

The Attorney General's Department today revealed they DID provide legal advice on the implications of the ICJ ruling on 15 August - the question now is what that advice was, and what was done to comply with it!

Is there an Australian support group for people totally captivated by - and terrified about - the #USElection ?
If so, I’m happy to host a meeting at my place tomorrow. There will be day drinking.

Never ceases to amaze me how many folks who’ve heard RATM are in Paul Ryan mode, having literally ZERO understanding of anything that band was about and even less understanding where any of us might stand on contemporary issues. Recently was talking to a couple at a restaurant who were big fans of “Killing In The Name”. The nice lady said, “I love that song. It helped me rage against my parents and later against the jab!” I said, “Ma’am that song is about racist cops who often behave like the Ku Klux Klan in service of historical white supremacy and are boot licking lackeys and thugs of the racist capitalist ruling class.” She sat there chewing and blinking, chewing and blinking.

This is a good idea…@SBSNews is the go to place since the ABC collapsed.
Ahem. If @SBSNews was smart, they'd employ @AmyRemeikis to host a political commentary panel discussion program to air Sunday mornings at 9am. (Or any time that suited Remeikis.) With panelists from independent news media (not Seven, Nine or NewsCorp). 😏 #auspol #Insiders

I don't know about you all but If I saw more of Laura Tingle on my @abcnews and less of Greg Jennette, Patricia Karvelas and David Speers, I'd switch back to old aunty again.
Who else?

For the avoidance of doubt here is how I outlined my beliefs in court - which are now held to be "protected" beliefs which are "worthy of respect in a democratic society". They are thus not - as the University of Bristol shockingly tried to maintain - "akin to Nazism".
My witness statement amounted to some 97 pages. I reproduce three key extracts here in case they may aid people in defending themselves against Zionist provocations in their own life/work.
The excerpts start with my declaration that is it self evident that racism is wrong and offensive to human dignity. Zionism, being inherently racist, imperialist and colonial is therefore also offensive to human dignity.
It is because I believed this and was "prepared to say it out loud" that I believe I lost my job.
The second excerpt affirms that Zionism necessarily calls for the displacement of non-Jews in favour of Jews and is, therefore, bound to be genocidal.
I also noted the importance of understanding that Zionism operates outside Palestine via the transnational Zionist movement - a movement which we see all too much of these days in its attempts to smash resistance to Zionism and support for the Palestinians in the UK and elsewhere.
The last excerpt notes that my belief in anti-Zionism was so steadfast that I was prepared to defend it even under pressure of losing my job.
It also affirms my belief that I am a part of a global community of anti-imperialist anti-Zionists. Never was that more true than it is today.
