Australian Media Silent for 407 Days on Julian Assange
The Australian media seems transfixed by events unfolding in the United States. Seemingly addicted to propaganda mainstream outlets like CNN and the Washington Post, they bay for Donald Trump’s blood. Surely, they surmise, the people will not elect him again. This narrow focus sells copy. It won’t change a vote …

Shameful, Pathetic & Sad Assange Rally
I’m staring up incredulously at an earnest young man telling me and the scattered Assange rally “crowd” that the young people of Australia are uniting behind Assange and that revolution of the working class is all but assurred. He means it. I don’t know what he’s been taking, but I …

Thoughts About The Melbourne Free Assange Rally
” I thought that there would be more people here,” said an elderly lady. I agreed. True, in the end there may have been between 300 and 500 people gathered around the Melbourne city library front steps. As an event that keeps Assange front of mind and puts his plight …
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 …

Is ABC Australia the Deep State’s Bitch?
It’s Your ABC Isn’t It? For most of my life, I have regarded the ABC as an Australian national treasure. I bought the 19c a day campaign. I bought the independent and fearless line that it’s high profile current affairs shows implied. I grew up watching 4 corners, listening to …
