By Vince Hooper, published 19/6/2024

Moreover, the rise of 'woke' culture in the West has shifted focus from strategic international issues to domestic social debates.

Just for the record...
I still see statements which indicate indigenous persons think they 'own' this country.
This is not so.
To own something one must have control of it.
Preferably lawful control.
To control a country requires an established government, and armed forces to defend the boundaries of that country.
Indigenous persons do not have any separate ability to do this.
They have no separate navy, army, or air force.
They have no control whatsoever, except that given to them by the present government.
So they have no separate ownership.
Wild statements to the contrary are absurd.
Because they are totally false.

The West is null and void. Democracy is dead; unable to recognise its empty head from its scoured tail end.

The US, under a permanent Democrat Administration, (An outcome with a high probability), will lead the remnants of its adherents over a precipitous cliff of downward decline.

Australia should abandon the sinking ship, and look hard at options!

A question one might then ask is: why are you still here?
And why all the negativity?
Would it not be better to think positively, and be creative and constructive?
If the ship is sinking, find a way to plug the hole?
Build, not destroy.
And this includes in the way you think.
The fact is that we have one of the best places in the world to live.
It is so easy to ignore that, and look for nothing but faults.

Western Democracy …Australian style:

…A mafia dictatorship of undemocratic wealthy oligarchies, firmly in control of State bureaucracy, aimed at furthering personal accumulation of wealth and power, subordinating individual freedoms of its citizens to its will, through cultural distortions, using toxic ideological brutality to force stifling conformity and subservience, bending opposition into compliance.

No, not necessarily the CPC, but also the US and it’s useful toadies, both of which are mirrored partners in crime.

Australia needs a freedom from the brutal hold and manipulation from foreign interference urgently, before we end our days as a Mogadishu of the South, with its citizens as totally irrelevant.

"Australia should abandon the sinking ship, and look hard at options!"
- The sinking ship is the US empire, but what if it is also the leadership of it's vassal states, which are willing to sacrifice it's own people for the empire?

The worlds changing and our leadership is not in any way not up to the task ahead.

"Democracy is dead."
If democracy is just a tool used to conquer and expand the empire and US hegemony, then perhaps we should give it a good rethink.
It may be a part of the problem.

We need leadership capable of managing a transition to a multipolar world, while still safeguarding and defending our nations interests.

All the current western leaders will be swept away,
We need new leaders to lead us into a new world.

#The sinking ship is the US empire, but what if it is also the leadership of it's vassal states, which are willing to sacrifice it's own people for the empire#

If they are unwilling to sacrifice their own people for the Democrats Empire now upon us, they may die prematurely; so it’s only those allowed to lead with toadie obedience, will make the leadership roles: Reference those from the past who tried, e g, Gough Whitlam. Whitlam was rolled at every turn in his efforts to forge an individual path for Australia, by LNP sycophants of the day.
Another was Pauline Hanson, who became so popular with the masses by simply telling their truth, she was also rolled by Abbott and Howard, the US toadies , using Lawfare now common in looming U.S. elections in November, against Trump!
