Wandering Rant on War and Legacy Media.

 


It’s becoming much more difficult to watch legacy media continue to lie about the current war with Iran. In Australia, the Murdoch cabal has no shame repeating President Trump’s on-going barrage of BS, and other warmongering “news” outlets stoking hatred and the looming threat of war with China. Murdoch media is a hateful, racist propaganda machine and their “journalists” merely wannabe celebrities, lusting after clicks and followers. It comes down to ensuring their audience is brainwashed into believing all Muslims are terrorists, and Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian's is justified because they have the “right” to defend themselves. Indeed, anyone with half a brain knows this to be utter rubbish. The most disturbing aspect to this barrage of propaganda nonsense is that many people believe it. Every time I watch Australia’s ABC, particularly when they “report” on the US/Iran war, several brain cells die, never to return. 

The cancer of Zionism has infiltrated all aspects of Western culture. The UK over the last three years has become a totalitarian state. Even their once admirable justice system is tainted with Zionist bacteria, where 80-year-old ladies go to jail for protesting the murder of thousands of Palestinian children. This is never reported by the Murdoch goons, because they’re much more interested in Prince Harry’s latest antics and his wife’s next cooking show. But of course, these distractions are necessary to ensure we don’t notice are civil rights flushing down the proverbial toilet. Australia is rapidly following suit. 

The Zionist infiltration of Australian society is a cancer that has metastasized in culture and our politics. If Australia doesn’t wake up soon, we’ll end up like Venezuela, recolonized by the US and the Israel/Zionist parasites. If this has not happened already. As Australia has been a loyal member of the 5-eyes-network of intelligence agencies – US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK, and I believe deeply infiltrated by Mossad, any hope of removing this deeply psychotic ideology, is now near impossible. Currently the US government voted to merge their military with Israels military and Intelligence, which I believe is unconstitutional and an act of treason. The UK, too, is clearly compromised and as always, Australia will follow in line like a good little colony.

The Iran war is the most unpopular war since the US’s invasion of Vietnam. This is a war of aggression started by the US and Israel. This is most certainly Israel’s war. Ironically, and not surprising, Israel refuses to engage in the conflict, using American money, bullets, bombs and the blood of US soldiers. One would think that US citizens would be up in arms about this cowardly arrangement, but generally there’s only silence. When the war escalates, and it will, and American soldiers begin falling in droves, there will be a reaction. Over the next month, when the economies around the planet begin to tank, and the cost of living explodes, there will be a reaction. It’s only a matter of time. 

There has never been so much uncertainty in the world since the turn of the century. Fascism is rearing its reptilian head; the US and Israel are mass killing across the globe and justifying it like it is just another Tuesday. We’ve become desensitized to genocide, and the ‘genocidaires'’ are running out of excuses, resorting to infantile name-calling as their central arguments. World leaders are threatening to use nuclear weapons, and the legacy media merely shrugs. 

These are uncertain times, even interesting times, but seemingly more dangerous than ever before. 

Something needs to change.

Albert Camus – Committed Writings – Comment.

 

The French Algerian philosopher, Albert Camus, (1913 – 1960) is more widely known for his novel’s The Stranger (1942) and The Plague (1947). In French philosophical circles his writings on Absurdism, expressed in his novel, The Stranger, was seen as a direct refute of French Existentialism, brought into the mainstream by French philosopher, J.P Sartre. Camus was a prolific writer of essays and plays, and won world acclaim for Caligula, The Just, and the theatrical adaptation of Dostoyevsky's The Possessed. Famous as a left-wing activist, his actions in The French Resistance during WWII were extensive. In 1957, at the age of 44, he won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Contained in Committed Writings are Letters to a German Friend, that inform his loyalty to France and criticisms of the Nazi regime, Reflections on the Guillotine, arguments against Capital punishment, and his Nobel Prize speeches, expressing his views on politics, writing and the engagement of art as a form of resistance. 

The more persuasive piece is “Reflections on the Guillotine” arguing against the use of capital punishment by the state. The state does not have the right, either morally or socially, to execute its citizens. To argue that imposing the death penalty on a convicted criminal to any extent poses as a deterrent against future crimes has proven over time simply not to be true. Public executions as spectacle acted more as entertainment for the mob rather than a warning for people not to kill. Currently executions are performed in private with only a few acting as witnesses. Camus argues that waiting for one’s eminent execution while on death row is worse than the execution itself. As our western justice system is far from perfect, juries get it wrong, and the state ends up killing the innocent. Camus proposes many other arguments that are all similarly persuasive. 

In the essay, ‘Create Dangerously’, he proposes that artists and writers, in their efforts to reveal reality, have become writers of consumer society, hiding away from communal misery, hiding behind mere works of entertainment. The movement of “arts for art's sake” was a justification as an artist to express “beauty”, when in fact it was an act of cowardice, a denial of social and political responsibility. The writer must speak for those who cannot speak for themselves, avoid the ego, and engage in solid brotherhood. Camus writes: 

Art develops between two chasms: frivolity and propaganda. Along the high ridge where great artists keep moving forward, every step is dangerous, extremely risky. Yet it is within that risk, and only there, that true artistic freedom lies...Like all freedom, it is a never-ending risk, a grueling experience, and that is why today we flee from such risk, just as we flee from freedom, which demands so much of us...

We live in dangerous times, and the artist must face political repression, war, genocide and bloodshed, and use them with ‘careful consideration’ in the creative process. 

The artist’s days of irresponsibility are over. 

These essays, despite being written over 70 years ago, are arguments that are relevant today. The rise of arrogant fascism that claims righteousness based on spurious ideals and violence. Does the State have the moral right to execute its own citizens? Art as ‘entertainment’ created merely for a consumerist society, has lost its meaning, and must now take risks, moving beyond received wisdom. 

Those interested in these subjects will find Camus’ Committed Writings educational and a desire for further investigation.

The Continued Threats and Rhetoric of Nuclear War is Troubling.

 

World leaders and major pundits across the spectrum have spoken about destroying entire civilizations and threatening nuclear war. NATO and the EU as of late are discussing a full-fledged war with Russia. President Putin has declared that if Russia feels threatened the use of the nuclear option is a realistic possibility. In the middle east, Israel sustains its genocide in Gaza and is currently on a bombing campaign in South Lebanon. Despite what you hear in western legacy media, this assault is an ethnic cleansing exercise, thinly disguised by Israel as self-defense against Hezbollah. If you push the “self-defense” argument, I will refer you to the recent comments by Israel’s Minister of National Security, Ben Gvir, “All of Lebanon must burn.” Israel also has what is called the Samson Option. Having Nuclear weapons, Israel would use them if they believed they were militarily backed into a corner. Considering their genocidal behavior in Gaza, and the mass murder of South Lebanese civilians, there’s no doubt that these Zionist lunatics would use nuclear weapons. 

The notion of world-wide nuclear holocaust is an event that has not really captured the imagination of many of the younger generation. The pundits on legacy media throw nuclear war around like it’s a video game. Many do not see that any ‘normal’ human being would even consider dropping the bomb on another country. Unfortunately, this is not true

As of 2026, the Doomsday Clock has been set at 85 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been. The Doomsday Clock was created in 1947 by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientist as a symbolic representation of how close humanity is to total annihilation. When we observe the EU leaders escalating their aggressions against Russia, pushing their lies and propaganda, “poking the bear” will have its consequences. In the middle east, Israel is a foaming at the mouth mad dog off the chain. As said, from their past behavior, these Zionist warmongers are capable of anything, including launching nuclear weapons. 

If you have studied to any extent ‘nuclear fallout’, it is devastation on a grand scale. The sun would be blocked out, so growing food is impossible. The deaths from the bombs will be monumental, though the domino effect of starvation, disease and death will be greater. The world’s billionaires are building or have built nuclear bunkers, in the event of earth’s destruction. Eventually they’ll have to come up for air at some point and will find the surface unlivable. 

To really grasp the outcome of our civilization, that is for a rogue state actor decides, for example, they're “between a rock and a hard place” like Israel, and launches their nuclear arsenal, our current civilization will end. It will set off a chain reaction that will leave the entire planet in ruins, and there will be no turning back. So, to hear and see our so-called world leaders and their mouth pieces bandy about the use of nuclear weapons as an option in war, my heart rate rises, and I think you’re either naive or a psychopath. Perhaps both.
