by James O’Neill*
The American writer Mark Twain once observed that there were three kinds of lies. Lies, damn lies and statistics. In the 21st-century that list might usefully be added to and include lies of omission. The modern mainstream media do not so much write and broadcast actual lies, although it is not difficult to detect actual examples, as lie by omission.
There are multiple examples of this failing, but a few illustrations will suffice to make the point. The first is the charmed life that the State of Israel enjoys in the local media, in all its forms. There are multiple illustrations of this. In 1968 Israel fought a brief war with its neighbours, including Syria, in the course of which Israel seized Syrian territory in the Golan Heights.
They have been there ever since. This is in violation of multiple facets of international law, including the fundamental principle that foreign land seized in the course of conflict may not be retained when that conflict is concluded. In the case of the Syrian Golan Heights not only has that law been violated, but the United Nations has also passed multiple resolutions demanding that Israel return the occupied land to its rightful owners. The Israelis have simply ignored those resolutions.
The particular point of relevance to Australia however, is that in the multiple United Nations General Assembly resolutions condemning various Israeli transgressions of international law, Australia is one of a literal handful of countries that voted against each and every such resolution. During the term of the last Labor government, Australia abstained on those votes, but the return of the Liberal-National coalition saw a return to the small group of those voting “No”.
That is sufficient cause for concern. What compounds the issue, however, is that the Australian media is almost totally silent on this Australian isolation from the overwhelming majority of United Nations members. This silence extends to a similar almost complete absence of mainstream reports on the, again totally illegal, Israeli bombing of Syrian government targets.
The courtesy of silence is not confined to Israel in the Middle East. In January of this year the Iraqi government passed a resolution demanding the removal of all (unwanted) foreign troops. This was explicitly aimed at the United States and its allies, including Australia, who had occupied the country since the initial invasion in 2003. The Iraqi resolution was barely reported; the ignoring of it by the Australians even less reported.
It needs to be recalled that the original invasion was justified in terms of Iraq’s alleged “weapons of mass destruction,” which Saddam Hussein was going to unleash on the world, or more specifically, the United States’ allies in the region. The allegation was a complete lie. The invasion was also based on a further series of lies long since refuted, but the United States and Australia are still there.
The Americans are still stealing Iraqi oil (as they are in Syria). Australia as a willing accomplice of the Americans is just as guilty as they are of this illegal occupation and theft. But again, where is the political opposition? Where is the critical mainstream media? In both cases, missing in action. Silence, in this case, does not just imply consent. Australia is a willing accomplice in a major violation of international law and the mainstream media are almost completely missing in action.
I have written before about the multiple lies that accompanied the illegal invasion and continuing occupation of Afghanistan, now in its 20th year. The mainstream media have at least reported on that ongoing fiasco, although two elements of the invasion and occupation are totally absent from the mainstream discourse.
The first is that one of the principal reasons for the original invasion and continuing occupation is geography. Afghanistan shares borders with a number of countries, all of whom are of intensive geopolitical significance to the Americans. Those neighbours include Iran, long a foe of the Americans; Pakistan, closely aligned with China, not least through a major rail link that will provide China with an alternative outlet in the event of an American and Australian blockade of the Straits of Hormuz; and former members of the USSR are now the subject of fierce Russian-United States competition for influence; and China itself.
The inexorable rise to economic and political influence of China has led to an unprecedented campaign against that nation by the Americans, aided in all possible ways by Australia, despite the economic suicide that Australia will inevitably experience in its increasingly anti-China stance.
Again, one sees willing complicity between pro-American ideologues in the ruling Australian coalition, from the Prime Minister downward, and their allies in the mainstream media such as Peter Hartcher, foreign editor of the Sydney Morning Herald, whose anti-China rhetoric scales ever more ridiculous heights. Were it not so pathetically tragic it would be almost funny to watch a nation commit suicide with such utter disregard for its true national interests.
The latest manifestation of the folly is the rather pathetic attempt to muster an alliance between Japan, India, Australia, and the United States. This is also a manifestly anti-China alliance and is doomed to fail on multiple grounds.
India has an uneasy relationship with China and there have been several relatively small skirmishes over several decades, almost always involving territorial disputes. But India has had historically close ties to Russia and these continue to the present day with a major economic development between the two countries via Iran currently being developed.
Japan is still treated as an occupied country by the Americans, but it also has growing economic links with China. The forced retirement of Prime Minister Abe presents an opportunity for Japan to reassert its independence. Japan also faces major demographic challenges with its population projected to decline from its current 127 million to below 100 million in 2053 and 88 million in 2065.
Japan is not unique among developed nations in facing the demographic challenge, but its historical aversion to immigration puts it in a unique category. Confronting those demographic challenges will be a major government policy issue in the coming decades. The last thing that Japan wants or needs is a militarily hostile relationship with China, also facing demographic challenges, but from a vastly higher initial base.
Because of historically high migration input, Australia does not have the same demographic challenges as many other developed nations. Its challenges are more geopolitical in nature. The most significant of those geopolitical challenges arise from its current status as effectively an American colony as evidenced by multiple government foreign policy decisions since the 1975 overthrow of the Whitlam government.
It is now caught in the relentless fight between the United States and China. The former nation is not responding well to the irresistible decline in its military and economic position respectively viz a viz Russia and China and is engaging in a vicious battle to halt its relative decline. The danger for Australia is that it will be collateral damage in that battle between the superpowers.
It is not too late for Australia to assert its independence and take a variety of steps to ensure both its political independence and its prosperity. The history of the past 40 years would however suggest that is a vain hope.

‘Politicians have thrived on fear’: Alan Jones | Sky News Australia
https://www.skynews.com.au/details/_6193370388001
At about 3:00 Jones publishes the following:
“FEDERAL DEPT OF HEALTH
The reliability of Covid-19 tests is uncertain due to the limited evidence base
Theraputic Goods Administration
15.09.20”
This word “uncertain” describes the test you need to take, in order to find out if you may be infected by a sickness you can’t even feel unless you are already sick or 80 years old.
Now, if you are sick or 80 years old, the cure is banned, so you must most likely die.
If you are perfectly well and can’t feel anything, you need to lock yourself up for two weeks, regardless of your other commitments, financial, family, whatever.
If anyone in the future is reading this, this is how our politicians do crisis management, 2020 style.
Given the similar policies run by various national States during the current Plandemic and what that implies, I find O’Neill’s apparent inability to join the WEF Great Reset dots amazing, notwithstanding his elegant and clear style
.His geopolitics articles are pre-2020 in nature. It is almost touching to read them. Reminds me of Doc Evatt’s wish for a Third Way for Aust., but he has been dead for half a century and more.
O Neill rightly mentions the silence of the Aust, media, but has no class or power analysis to give us which might tell us why this is so. Strange, I thought lawyers follow the adage “follow the money” when looking at crime?
Describing nations such as USA or Aust. as real actors rather than facades behind which interests are at work is illusory.
Israel is now on its second lockdown amid protest, what does this mean? Who in the Israel power elite is saying and planning what and with whom in which other countries? O Neill is silent
What is the nature of the Covid virus, is it a Chinese invention or not? and so on. More silence.
Big pharma or Gates cannot apparently be controlling China or India, so who or what is? Even more silence.
Strange that O Neill, with this fake left (because entirely moralistic and short-sighted) heart for anything that can be called a refugee, has not seemingly realised that Jane Halton, heavily involved in the Siev-X drowning of 353 people under Howard in 2002 as senior person in Border Force is now a big wheel at WHO and in the vaccine industry, being head of CEPI
Where does the global debt overhang much discussed at Zero Hedge fit in, are economies not being deliberately crashed while the drive to cashless payments intensifies? (Sen .Mal Roberts bill up for debate in Aust, in 2 months from now)
Where does the the 4th Industrial Revolution and transhumanism fit in?
“pre-2020 in nature”
Actually it strikes me as being pre-1975
Channelling Mark Twain, an Australian writer who goes by the initials T.V, once observed that there are three types of spineless and corrupt governmental representatives that preside over us :

We know that Dee can tell right from wrong.
We know that Dee can tell communism from capitalism.
But can Dee tell East from West?
“Communism from Capitalism”?
You mean there is a difference?
I thought communism/Marxism was just a convenient device to keep the masses in perpetual conflict over ‘class [and race] struggle’ issues for the benefit of the globalist capitalists.
“What is the difference between Oligarchy and Monarchy?” might be a more relevant better question – government for the sake of the few (as we are witnessing) or government for the common good.
I just read this passage today:
*“The Russian [yes, still stuck down that rabbit hole] leads a simpler life than other Europeans. The gulf between rich and poor is not as great as in the West, where some wallow in riches and others are sunk in the depths of misery. Everyone in Russia, rich and poor, eats to his heart’s content and lives in well heated houses, whereas in the West the poor suffer from cold and hunger.
… Thus, life for the workman and peasant [serf] in Russia is better than in other countries.”*
Yes I know, you’re wondering which 20th century contemporary sage wrote that ….
“This is what J Kritjanitch, a Serbian by birth and a graduate of the Catholic College of Vienna, tells us in his memoirs, written in 1646, after spending five years in Russia.”

Yep, This is Australia’s left-hand vs right-hand
Very neat, Dee.You are the Queen of Laconia.
Mr O’Neill, in relation to your comment : ‘During the term of the last Labor government, Australia abstained [from condemning Israeli transgressions] on those votes’, the Labor Party is far from squeaky clean.
The Labor tenure from 2007 – 2013 can be summarised by the acronym RGR.
ie: Rudd, then Gillard then back to Rudd again.
During the Gillard period, Rudd blackmailed his way into being appointed the Foreign Minister where he dutifully went out of his way to campaign on behalf of his Zio-controllers for the destruction of Libya :
https://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/australia-urges-un-to-move-against-gaddafi/news-story/056d14f2271237c795dce1d0e437b38a
Taken from the article above :
‘Ahead of a vote expected at 10am (AEDT) today, Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd reiterated his warning that time was running out to protect opposition supporters in Libya.
He said it was premature to detail what “all necessary measures” actually involved.
But it would involve military action in one form or another, including a no-fly zone over Libya and possibly a no-drive zone to stall government forces on the ground.’
Bottom Line : On allegedly compassionate grounds (calling for ‘a no-fly zone to prevent Gaddafi from using his air force to strafe and bomb civilians, and reconnaissance flights assisting ground forces’), Rudd went out of his way campaigning extensively throughout Europe on this issue, even though Australia had absolutely no dog in this race – either from a trade or geo-strategic standpoint.
Once the ‘no-fly’ zone was enforced, Gaddafi’s Air Force was incapable of retaliating against the Anglo-Zionist funded mercenary army of radical jihadis and head-choppers (these same individuals would form the foundation of what would later become ISIS).
This ensured the destruction of yet another regime that threatened Israeli hegemony in the region and which simultaneously threatened to unravel the Petro-dollar by bypassing sales of Libyan oil in USD (this would ultimately lead to loss of the reserve currency status of the USD and serious economic ramifications thereafter for America), and Gaddafi’s introduction of the gold backed dinar.
So, whilst it’s somewhat commendable that the Labor Party abstained from the U.N vote and didn’t vote against the resolutions like the Lib/Nat coalition later did (due no doubt to some dissenting voices of integrity within the party), it would have been more commendable still if they’d had the guts to vote in favour of said resolutions condemning Israeli crimes.
Nevertheless, amongst the leadership of the Labor Party (as is the case with the Coalition today), you can be sure that these entities are well and truly sock puppets of the cabal and will always follow the script.
According to my recollection your history is wonky and missing an important element, that is that Gaddafi (d. 20 Oct 2011) was taking his turn as leader of the Pan-Africa Congress as I think it was called.
US Deep State would obviously prefer their man in the role of African unifier.
Libya had little to do with the formation of Isis (1999 – spooky huh, same time as W Bush).
Libya was done AFTER Syria (March 2011 “Arab Spring”), eventually Hillary and Obama ran away from Putin’s battleship parked off the coast of Damascus.
You insist Zionists control everything and you say Trump is a puppet of the Zionists. I would say he is using Mossad for security and the deal has to be paid for. I would say if he didn’t do that he would be dead already. The principle of using Zionists for security is simple, they put their own self-interest before the Deep State self-interest.
We are both pretty sure Zionists control Hollywood since way back (probably emigrated during Hitler’s rise), so why then is Hollywood pushing so hard against Trump and the patriotic deplorables? Just yesterday Megan Merkle and Harry Pothead came out as a proud “mixed-race” zillionaire couple and told us peasants to vote for Biden (BLM), to further their career, possibly even involving a movie deal. We can see Megan Merkle wants to be bigger than Kim Kardashian. After that is done Harry Pothead will probably be sick of the ride anyway, it’s a race, which will use the other up first.
So as always, your carelessness, inaccuracy, dogmatic pursuit of Zionists lurking in every shadow, and virtual exoneration (by omission at least) of everyone else (Bushs, Hitler etc), further taints the unreliable, untrustworthy brand you are trying to build. By announcing yourself as having some special relationship with “Truth” it can be seen you are just another tedious propagandist with axe to grind.
If Biden should somehow win Julian Assange will go straight to Gitmo and probably his only visitor allowed will be Hillary, to jeer at him. I don’t think JA will get extradited from the UK when there is a chance Trump will pardon him before inauguration.
‘Trump to pardon Assange’ ???? Rabbi ‘dsw’, you’re more of a pothead than Markle’s hubby.
This info just in :
” Thomas Scripps and Laura Tiernan review explosive testimony to the British court hearings for Julian Assange’s extradition to the US, by alt-right media personality Cassandra Fairbanks.
Fairbanks testified from her own interactions with leading personnel of the Trump administration, that the order for Assange’s expulsion from the Ecuadorian embassy had been given by the US president. She also stated that Arthur Schwartz, a wealthy Republican Party donor and key Trump ally, had provided her with evidence of plans by the Trump administration to impose the death penalty.”
READ that again ‘dsw’. ie: “the order for Assange’s expulsion from the Ecuadorian embassy had been given by the US President.”
Not that those of us that weren’t wearing Mossad issued blinkers weren’t already aware of it.
Trump, aka The Orange Man, aka the Orang-U-tan, GAVE THE ORDER to have Assange forcibly removed from the Ecuadorian Embassy to be then prosecuted and thereafter given the DEATH PENALTY – all because Trump donor and rabid Jewish Zionist Arthur Schwartz said so.
‘dsw’, I am not trying to build a ‘BRAND’ with the Gumshoe readers.
I provide my information and then quote my reference sources – the vast bulk of my facts posted are sourced from individuals of the most impeccable integrity – which the readers can easily verify as I readily post their names.
Your sources, on the other hand, are pulled out of your arse when they’re not taken from the official Mossad 3″ X 5″ cards of allowable opinion that are handed to you from the Israeli Embassy on a regular basis.
In the short time you’ve been here under various pseudonyms (first as ‘bg’, then as Rabbi Bobby Gold-borrower, now as Disinformation Spread Worldwide or dsw as you’re now called), you’ve built quite a brand of yourself.
You’ve branded yourself as an apologist for Zio-depravity and propaganda of the most malicious and scurrilous kind.
The readers are on to you and it won’t be long before you’re recalled back to Mossad base in Herzliya and given a dressing down for your crude attempts at propagandising the goyim.
Uncouth Veggie.
I see you’re quoting “World Socialist” website, World Socialist, need I say more.
They’re on the same mission as you by the looks, disinformation, anyone can look at it and see for themselves, it’s all hyperbolic stuff, not enough credibility to be bothered with.
Trump likes to surprise people, look at Kim Jong for example, you don’t know what might happen, though you like to pretend you know everything.
Tell us all your predictions for 2021, month by month.
Happy New “Socialist” World Order (since you’re barracking for it).
https://www.wsws.org/ (firebrand propaganda Chinese style)
Yes Rabbi Bobby Gold-borrower (aka ‘dsw’) I’m on the mailing list of the wsws.
I attended a ‘Free Assange’ rally that they organised and I got to chatting with some of their people who are doing the right thing and they deserve accolades for that.
We may not agree ideologically but partisan politics should be cast aside and all of us should work together to unravel the machinations of the Zio-dominated Usury cartel of bankers that are behind the most egregious crimes in the world today.
Truth, Schwartz has denied this “I highly doubt that I would tell her anything real, accurate or of any importance” and said that Fairbanks “is not someone I trust”
https://www.dailydot.com/layer8/assange-arrest-trump-grenell/
Maybe he changed his mind!
Schwartz, Sheldon Adelson (Las Vegas casino mogul and money launderer for the Apartheid Israeli state) and other high profile GOP party donors, are hardly exemplars of honesty and integrity so any statements coming from them should be taken with a kT of salt.
Wendy, let’s not get into a game of he said / she said.
Let’s look at the facts on the ground.
The Obama administration, as bad as it was, chose not to pursue prosecution of Assange because of 1st Amendment implications. ie: unconstitutionality.
Not so for Trump’s administration – who arranged for the circumstances that enabled forcible extraction of Assange from the Ecuadorian embassy and now solitary confinement and torture.
Trump has no respect for the constitution and will openly flout it as per the dictates from his Zio-controllers.
Seeing as Trump swore to uphold the constitution, he is therefore clearly a TRAITOR.
Truth Vigilante… Sound summation, but if I may add a specific, all but one ALP politician had accepted a $15,000 gift from Israel upon winning their seats.
O’Neil… You have a blind spot. China is not the Goodie that you portray in your Goodies/Baddies scenario.
Zi is a fanatical megalomaniac who intends to colonise the world believing his will be the final great Imperial Dynasty. Those whose bodies he clawed his way over to the ‘Throne In Construction’ cherished an identical dream. Every diasporic or homeland Chinese has known this since at least 1994; perhaps even earlier.
The Chinese recognise no such concept as national sovereignty of their prospective victim nations, and their responses to what they regard as provocations by Australia are merely geopolitical tit-for-tat. At the end of the day, China intends to crush Australia and confiscate all our resources.
That the US has done the same thing to other nations since 1776, and has invaded 57 sovereign nations since 1946, for precisely the same reason, simply tells us that Australia has two imminently dangerous enemies: the US and China. We need to extricate ourselves from both and adopt a globally neutral role, which also means maintaining good relations with Iran, Russia, Venezuala, or any other declared enemy of America… or of China for that matter.
Constructively, we need to use our natural resources exclusively for manufacturing, scrap the Oil Price Parity Agreement and concomitant taxes, and reduce the price of our own light sweet crude to a bowser price of 12 to 25 cents per litre (depending upon whose estimate you subscribe to); which will provide local manufacturers and distributers with a massive advantage over 1st world competitors.
Contrary to promoted belief, many of the world’s top software and hardware designers are Australian by birth and would hasten home should we provide careers back home… likewise industrial knowhow in other spheres.
If Covid has taught us anything it is that feee trade and internationalism/globalisation has placed us at the mercy of every exploitative entity on the planet. We need urgently to restore protective tariffs, reconstruct manufacturing, and become geopolitically neutral.
Tony, your summation above is several levels better than anything I could’ve countered with.
Your remark that ‘ We need to extricate ourselves from both [alliance with either the U.S or China] and adopt a globally neutral role’ and ‘maintaining good relations with Iran, Russia, Venezuela’ is a superb template for bilateral relations we should be pursuing.
Add in establishment of good relations with Nth Korea, Iraq, Cuba and one or two others and we’re off to the races.
As for the $ 15,000 accepted by ALP as gifts from Israel, HOW can that not be a front page story where resignations of said recipients are not being demanded ???
I recall some years ago where then NSW Premier Fatty O’Barrel (aka Barry O’Farrell), had to resign after not declaring receipt of a bottle of wine/champagne as a gift.
And yet these corrupt ALP pollies get away with much more.
Thanks TV.
As it happens, the Libs get their prezzy too, that’s why it never makes the front page; not to mention that Zionist Murdoch owns the front page.
As to N.Korea, and Cuba etc… absolutely!
Freemasonry is the ring that binds the absolutely corrupted. A seemingly left leaning Victoria and right wing Canberra are working together, in lockstep for the tragic reset (evolution to the new normal that was never normal in anyway).
Here, we’ve always had a one party system presented as two sides of the same coin. In real time, crown kabal and communists are one and the same. That is why the BSL4 factories origin in England (home of eugenics) now have franchises worldwide irrespective of seeming ideology or nationality.
We are living under a one world government, all the main players are compromised puppets of the one eyed beast. ‘Who are we eye‘ – Huawei is the new visible enforcer. The invisible ones, out of view, are still the same occult, passed on from generation to generation. Doesn’t matter what ism it is satanism.
Love is the opposite of evol and the divide is eternal.
Godness will overcome.
Our one world global leaders are all pretty good at shutting down the HCQ debate aren’t they, or maybe there is a HCQ debate going some places but on my TV it’s mostly just local politicians. When I see their lips start moving I know it’s probably time to change the channel. Too hard to get kickbacks these days, so they are all lining up options for their next career move, get on some corporate boards, travel allowance etc., priority immigration, Lear jet, limo, bags of cocaine, all the fantasy stuff.
All roads, and indeed all belts, lead to China eh James? Your indefatigable shilling is impressive! Lenin had a term for people like you.
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2020/09/23/pers-s23.html?pk_campaign=newsletter&pk_kwd=wsws
“….The willingness to accept mass casualties, particularly among the elderly, has an underlying socio-economic foundation. In his evocative Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844, Marx, writing at the very dawn of industrial capitalism, explained that the attitude of the capitalist to the life of the worker is entirely conditioned by his or her ability to produce profit, that is, to work.
As soon as he is removed from this process of labor and surplus value production, Marx wrote, the worker…….
Has no work, hence no wages, and since he has no existence as a human being but only as a worker, he can go and bury himself, starve to death, etc.” In relation to capitalist economy, “the worker’s needs are but the one need—to maintain him whilst he is working and insofar as may be necessary to prevent the race of laborers from [dying] out. (From “Antithesis of Capital and Labor: Landed Property and Capital”)”
Thanks James

“Where do the Native Americans fit into all this? “All men are created equal” , ‘but excuse me” seems to say the Declaration signer/settler ,’ the creation of me DOES have a certain propensity for me to take and own land’….Further Contradictions?”
Dee, your summation below is an excellent and well balanced one.
Your sentence about the likelihood of getting a single minister on board to help us :
‘And if they cannot stand and help thousands of raped children, they do not give a damn for your well-being’ ,
sums up the dire predicament we’re all facing.
THis is such a complex debate. From what I hear in Melbourne is that Dan is closely aligned with China; the port now leased to them, and that all surveillance equipment and information systems flown in at night during curfew. Cannot confirm this. But our alignment will not really benefit us boots on the ground in Melbourne.
I think it is probably accurate thinking that Trumps support of Israel has kept him alive, with their self-interest over the deep-state. A deep-state factional fight in progress. My hope is that Trump is not another deep state side show.
But it seems to me humans have just become the “resource”. — especially with 5G roll out, We have no place in politics or standing anymore. No say. The powers are in the process of resetting the world into humans factory farms in one global structure. This debate about US or China or EU seems to retain out thinking on one level. .Cov2 has taught us that the countries across the globe are acting as one — under instruction. You can see a few going outside the instructions.
So… What fight are we actually fighting? It seems that this is not really about trade or alliances. I think this is a fight for our minds. Living in Melbourne has put another perspective on this. Most inhabitants of Melbourne have become “BRAIN-DRAINED”. Their capacity for logical thinking is now void. They can maybe talk about politics, history or industry with great intelligence, but something has happened to their brains. THey can debate L or Dem of Rep.
But many Melbournians have become “mask-monkeys” (just thought of that term right now) . Yes they have become mask-monkeys. And it feels that a switch has been flipped. They are now compliant. We are now the RESOURCE. What they do with us, is what they deem profitable. (maybe we have always been the resource).
I think this is a spiritual war — but maybe I’ll write in more detail later about the Melbourne “mask-monkeys” and that the experiment in Melbourne is most likely a beta-test for the rest of everybody. I have said before when talking about the child protection denials in government circles. I have said not a single minister (even if they are good people) will hold their hand up to help with regard to child abuse and abduction issues. A switch has been turned off in their brains. Some dark force has overcome their humanity. And if they cannot stand and help thousands of raped children, they do not give a damn for your well-being.
We have a problem —
The mind state thing going around is called “gas-lighting” from an old movie where the husband was trying to drive the wife crazy. It has some similarity with psychopath techniques. Some of those popular old movie subjects such as mad doctor/scientist have unfortunately been mostly buried in favour of chasey/shooty and chick flicks or condemned to the fringe, scifi on mars or people such as Cronenberg. The actual mad scientists are alive and well and one of their income streams I would expect is from types of charity.
Despicable Dan is not “aligned with China”. He, and all the rest of the abject servants of the worldwide secretocracy, is “aligned with” the megalomaniac, plutocratic, autocracy that ideologically primed and supplied misanthropes to ravage all Asia that was not culturally susceptible to the “Fabian approach” that is the method considered to be most effective in post Christian realms. All “revolutionary leaders” in all Asia were the product of the same misanthropes that devised “cultural Marxism” to extinguish a social order based on anything but mere personal indulgence and survival.
Poor Indiaman and Asiaman almost survived the predatory assaults of narcissistic “British Israel” via the “East India Companies”, the “Opium wars” etc. but traitors from their midst and toads bought with promises of indulgence and wealth wreaked terrible havoc and subjugation on the people from Moscow to Singapore. Though Asiaman is subjected to a terrible despotism there are millions of them that are not Party hacks living on usury.
Maybe it has something to do with this

Was talking to an old “comrade” fellow traveller earlier today–he understands (and appreciates) my expansive undisciplined “clever” mind. He was concerned for my well being. He knows my Big Picture Story.
We had a wonderful multidimensional rambling conversation. He spoke of Yuval Noah Harari’s Trilogy. I had just read your comment Dee— and so I share a couple of links.
Review: Yuval Noah Harari’s “21 Lessons for the 21st Century”
by Miles Raymer
http://www.words-and-dirt.com/words/review-yuval-noah-hararis-21-lessons-for-the-21st-century/
“each person on Earth must also accept the disturbing reality that we are, at all times, being scrutinized and manipulated by corporate and governmental entities wielding new and powerful technologies. Harari skips right over the menace of cybersecurity to get to the heart of the real threat––the direct and unfettered hacking of humans themselves:
As biotechnology and machine learning improve, it will become easier to manipulate people’s deepest emotions and desires, and it will become more dangerous than ever to just follow your heart. When Coca-Cola, Amazon, Baidu, or the government knows how to pull the strings of your heart and press the buttons of your brain, will you still be able to tell the difference between your self and their marketing experts? (271-2)
Given the lamentable and widespread influence of social media on elections in liberal democracies, anyone who continues to be skeptical of current technology’s power to seriously fuck with people’s heads is not paying attention. How do we resist?
To succeed at such a daunting task, you will need to work very hard at getting to know your operating system better––to know what you are and what you want from life. This is, of course, the oldest advice in the book: know thyself…In the end, it’s a simple empirical matter: if the algorithms indeed understand what’s happening within you better than you understand yourself, authority will shift to them…If you want to retain some control over your personal existence and the future of life, you have to run faster than the algorithms, faster than Amazon and the government, and get to know yourself before they do. To run fast, don’t take much baggage with you. Leave all your illusions behind. They are very heavy. (272)”

HOMO DEUS – Yuval Noah Harari’s scary Crystal Gazing in the face of COVID19
https://jeemolunni.com/2020/03/23/homo-deus-yuval-noah-hararis-scary-crystal-gazing-in-the-face-of-covid19/
Excellent comment and links Dianne – I really must get around to reading Homo Deus.
In Sapiens, Harari gives a very well considered account of all the myths that contaminate human ‘thinking’ – including and especially the concept of ‘money’ – and religion of course.
He makes the case that what distinguishes our species is the ability to imagine – and hence lie and deceive – ourselves and others to gain advantage. If only we hadn’t invented writing!!
But my favourite quote is
• “So perhaps happiness is synchronising one’s personal delusions of meaning with the prevailing collective delusions. As long as my personal narrative is in line with the narratives of the people around me, I can convince myself that my life is meaningful, and find happiness in that conviction.”
Harari is an interesting character …
and I am not sure if he is an Orwell or Huxley-type ‘insider’ or a genuinely keen observer …
“Homo sapiens (n.) the genus of human beings, 1802, in William Turton’s translation of Linnæus, coined in Modern Latin from Latin homo “man” (technically “male human,” but in logical and scholastic writing “human being;” see homunculus) + sapiens, present participle of sapere “be wise” (see sapient)..”
Homo sapiens – the wise, intelligent human being – LOL! Now reduced to ‘mask-monkeys’.
I read on another site that there was now a ‘Melbourne Syndrome’. Similar to ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ where the captives identify with their captors. I can believe it, I’ve seen signs that say “We love you Dan”. Crikey, what sorry excuses for sentient beings,
I first went to Russia in the 1960s and visited regularly ever since. I first went to China in 1990 and have visited regularly ever since. Visits to both countries have been for work and pleasure. I have also lived and worked in six European countries as well as my native New Zealand and here in Australia. I have visited the US on 17 occasions. Over the past nearly 60 years I have visited more than 60 countries. I do not claim to be an expert on any of those countries, but I do claim a capacity to see them for what they are, warts and all. None are perfect, some are much better than others. In my writing I try to present a balanced picture, something notably lacking in the mainstream media. I don’t claim perfection and neither do I expect everyone to agree with my perspective. It is a viewpoint with which one is free to agree or disagree. Nothing more, nothing less.
Well Mr O Neill, you are currently banned from leaving Australia at all under the Shamdemic (which you claim, by omission in your writing, to be irrelevant to geopolitics.)
Unless you can prove compassionate grounds or national interest e.g. you are a spook..
But as I am reluctant to believe that you work e.g. for ASIO or ASIS I retain my wonderment at your insouciance in respect of this unique travel ban.
You are in good leftist company, the much-revered Caitlin Johnstone will also not touch the shamdemic.
As a Libertarian anarcho-capitalist to the core, I’m a long way from being a leftist.
That said Mr O’Neill, and having travelled to scores of overseas destinations over the years myself, it was evident to me from Day 1 that your writings were always balanced and as objective as can be expected (let’s face it people, we’re all guilty of some subjectivity on occasion).
Keep up the good work Mr O’Neill and ignore the petty sniping.
Truth Veggie AKA Veggie Mould Aspergillus seems to be competing with O Neill in the pontification “I am more travelled than you” stakes. A variety of the argumentum ad hominem applied to themselves.
However, having been here, there and everywhere does not necessarily imply personal growth or greater insight at all.
Because if it did, then every corporate media hack who peddles the lies of his employer until retirement ought logically to move away from those lies the more foreign postings he gets in the course of his career.
,
But the difference between a radical elderly John Pilger and a John Simpson, BBC TV flunky, existed from the outset in their younger years. Pilger and Simpson both retained their respective stances irrespective of their overseas experience.
So there are legions of scribbler hacks whose loyalty to depravity and crime is just as strong after dozens of foreign sojourns as it was at the outset. Or the reverse, see Pilger.
Or do Aspergillus and O Neil think that the Clinton-revering ABC flunky Sarah Ferguson will necessarily, I stress necessarily as wonders do happen, drop her fake left globalist worldview after she has spent some time as foreign correspondent in China?
As a self styled libertaritard, I do hope Aspergillus is not in receipt of any Fed or State govt. payments? On the other hand, his heroine Ayn Rand nee Alicia Rosenbaum did indeed go onto welfare in the USA before she died. .
Ayn Rand was scathing of the Palestinians and wouldn’t have lost any sleep if they’d all been genocided.
Hardly someone worthy of admiration..
As for world travel, it’s not a prerequisite for better cultural appreciation but, all other things being equal, it certainly enhances your perspective and makes it easier to empathise with the ‘other’.
Trump could do with a bit of it – a year living in one of those sh@t-hole countries would teach him some humility.
Oldish news still doing the rounds –
Melbourne Police Surround & Arrest 2 Elderly Women Resting On Park Bench For “COVID Violation”
http://www.renegadetribune.com/melbourne-police-surround-arrest-2-elderly-women-resting-on-park-bench-for-covid-violation/
BTW Criss X, my apologies for ‘stealing your thunder’ in relation to my post earlier this afternoon directed at ‘dsw’ where I point out the machinations of Trump donor Arthur Schwartz and the alt-right Cassandra Fairbanks.
Of course, your post from yesterday mentioned both of these individuals – which is in keeping with your track record to date of being first with much of the breaking news.
‘dsw’, you should read all of Criss X’s posts – you’ll be infinitely more enlightened and it may help you improve upon that misguided drivel of yours which has been representative of your output of late.
With all those cops consumed with scouring the streets & parks for the mask-less & the sitters can’t help but wonder who’s attending to all the domestic violence calls

The Art of Jewish Shit-Throwing (Informational Only)
https://www.veteranstoday.com/2020/09/21/the-art-of-jewish-shit-throwing-informational-only/?mc_cid=920b8410d2&mc_eid=a224022718
‘dsw’, the article above from Criss X is a MUST READ for you.
It sums up the template you’ve been utilising to troll various websites over the years – including and especially here at Gumshoe.
Readers here should peruse the article posted by Criss X and note how it corresponds, picture perfect, to the machinations of Rabbi ‘dsw’ over recent times.
‘dsw’, your nefarious ways have been further exposed.
‘dsw’, in relation to the article posted by Criss X above, I noted one particularly egregious passage (among many) :
“And on the basis of this super-bastard ideology, in the same way, in an outrageously brutal hatred of all non-Jewish goyim, they bring up Jewish children in Jewish schools in yeshivas.
In yeshivas and pig houses, Jewish children are taught to be absolutely merciless to all living things. During the SHEHITA rite, children are forced to tear off the heads from live chickens. They are taught that in the future they could freely tear off the heads of living goy children without the slightest remorse. Other religious rites and holidays of Judaism also serve to educate cruelty.”
Is this what happened to you Rabbi ‘dsw’ in the yeshiva you were indoctrinated in ?
I guess that would go a long way to explaining how you’re such an apologist for all crimes against the goyim – especially how you justify what the Trump administration is doing to Australia’s favourite son (Julian Assange).
I really think you must have mental problems to come up with all these totally inaccurate and extreme accusations and dodgy websites which I don’t bother to look at, I suggest, get help.
Veterans Today is a well respected website.
Either one or both of the editors of Gumshoe have referenced it from my recollection.
Are you suggesting that either Dee or Mary are using dodgy websites ?
I think an apology is in order from you Rabbi Gold-borrower.
Constantly misleading and trying to drag others in only proves your weakness. I hope your mental condition doesn’t create problems for others, but, I have to admit I visualise you as a fat guy in a wheelchair with a cowboy hat so hopefully you are harmless. Your sole focus is these Jews you say are behind absolutely everything, I wonder what this is a cover for. What are you hiding.
My sole focus is in unravelling that shadowy cabal that is behind 9/11, the Covid hoax, the Global Warming nonsense and much more.
YOUR sole focus Rabbi ‘dsw’ is defending said Zionist Dominated Usury cartel of bankers, constantly obfuscating, coming up with diversions when the goyim are getting too close to the scent.
I just go with the facts.
And the facts lead in ONE direction. ie: in YOUR direction Rabbi ‘dsw’ and those you provide cover for.
Even Jesus and the bible and the “one god” are Jewish, OMG you must wake up in shock every day
Jesus, as the son of god and now shown to be immortal, is not of this world.
As the son of God, Jesus had no bloodline relationship to Joseph and Mary, who brought him up.
Much like you Rabbi ‘dsw’, who has no bloodline relationship to the inhabitants of ancient Judea – seeing as you’re from the Ashke-NAZI tribe.
I just offer this as a resource. I have just browsed a couple of sections that were highlighted on a video I watched, and which I cannot remember for now.
Xi Jinping -The Governance of China Volume 1 (PDF)
https://archive.org/details/xijinpingthegovernanceofchinavolume1
The major chapter headings are:
• Socialism with Chinese Characteristics
• The Chinese Dream
• All-round and Deeper-level Reform
• Economic Development
• Rule of Law
• Culturally Advanced China
• Social Undertakings
• Ecological Progress
• National Defense
• “One Country, Two Systems”
• Peaceful Development
• Neighborhood Diplomacy
• Cooperation with Developing Countries
• Combat Corruption
• The CPC Leadership
If all the ad hominems are true, then this is a pretty impressive and comprehensive subterfuge.
And I like this better that the Rockefeller Lockstep document. One is constructive, the other destructive.

Thank you James for that brief bio your writing, viewpoints, and focused contributions reflects your learned, expansive, geo-political knowledge and lived experience.
We all come from different tribes, with variations, but essentially we are, all here, opposed to this artificial insanity. Many thanks, for keeping it always interesting reading.
I came from a small seaside village. Been back a few times, never wanted to leave. Sure it’s similar for all places in nature that have breathtaking scenery. His creations are everywhere.
We have left the garden and are in mega smart city prisons worldwide. Leave them if you can.
Looks like a Freemason handshake to me –
Vaccine deal and lock down all part of Morrison-Andrew-Halton scheme (Part 1)
https://cairnsnews.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/scott-morrison-with-dan-andrews.png?w=560
Morrison has said nothing about (lodge brother?) Andrews running rampant in the state of Victoria and now seeking to pass the most authoritarian and illegal legislation in the nation’s history that gives public servants powers to detain anyone they “reasonably suspect” of breaching public health directives.

I have only browsed this but it is all broadly familiar. Hats off to people like Ben Norton (and Dee, Mary and James) who can condense and bring clarity to such topics.
It is relevant here as it illustrates how our so-called government occupiers live in a delusional al-la land of foreign policy. Trouble is, they are complicit in genocide.
