Be The Change.

We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.
- Mahatma Gandhi

David Kilcullen (born 1967) is the subject of the story here.  He was chief strategist in the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism at the U.S. State Department, from 2005 to 2006.  He's certainly no lightweight. He's been a member of the US deep state, yet still appears to be an independent thinker, or so it seems.  He came out as highly critical of the decision to invade Iraq, saying "There undeniably would be …

🔴🔴 HAS WWIII ALREADY STARTED ? 🔴🔴

"Most of the people we had in mind are dead."
- President Trump on the future leadership of Iran

My opinion: Trump has morphed into a cartoon villain. He has fulfilled the predictions of his worst political enemies and made "Trump derangement syndrome" look like a reasonable position.

I've been half-expecting him to pull a rabbit out of the hat and announce …

Andrei Ilnitsky, military analyst and member of the Presidium of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy:

It is crucial to understand that the operation unfolding around Iran rests, from the outset, on a false strategic premise. Let us fix the baseline at the moment the United States entered the active phase of its campaign: Iran neither posed nor poses a direct military threat to the United …

Now that I have your attention, I want to show you the Murdoch media's propaganda role in Australia - on behalf of powerful forces - in creating the false narrative that there is an "antisemitism crisis' in Australia.    

In particular, The Australian - the national daily - has been obsessively publishing scores of commentaries and stories since October 7, 2023, about 'antisemitism' in Australia.  This is believed to be done to deflect attention on what is happening in Gaza, now officially …
