Is your news simply a narrative?
Somebody once said that history is written by the winners. A similar saying could be applied to the news. In effect the news as reported by the mainstream legacy media is told by those that control the flow of information. It is very rare to get the full picture from …
Australia the Police State
The Australian government has once again taken the opportunity to remind Australians that they live in a police state. Today, police armed with the necessary warrants raided the home of Sydney’s Sunday Telegraph editor, Annika Smethhurst who had earlier reported on government plans to give greater spying powers to the …
Lessons the Left Refuse to Learn
The “shock” Australian election result wasn’t that much of a shock to me. In fact, it all seemed eerily familiar. Any one with the ability to get outside their bubble and actually feel the pulse of the electorate knew that there was no great mood for change. Sure, the dislike …
The Assange Problem
Regular readers of this irregular and somewhat erratic publication know where I stand on the treatment of Julian Assange.

Assange is a piece in play in a much bigger game.
I haven’t written directly about Julian Assange for some time. There are people who have greater insights and larger audiences than me. I re-post their pieces and support Assange in any way I can. But, there is a danger in saying the same thing over and over again, so I …
