American Billionaires Control Your News Feed

31 August 2026 3 dys

Much of the news you view downunder is controlled by News Corp, which is owned by a right wing American billionaire. Facebook and Instagram are owned by another right wing billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg. X, formerly Twitter, is owned by yet another American billionaire, Elon Musk. American billionaires control your news feed. Can you perceive a bit of a pattern here, folks? The news you get either by legacy media or social media platforms comes via Trump supporting oligarchs. AI is likewise owned by a bunch of American billionaires, who have kissed the ring of President Trump. Your news and information comes via a filter, a right wing filter, which puts a decided slant on things.

The Melbournian Mediocrity Wildcard Weekend

Did anybody notice that all 4 AFL clubs playing off in the Wildcard round were Melbourne based? In this expanded VFL parading itself as a national competition something had to be done about the lack of success for the glut of Melbournian AFL clubs. Enter the Melbournian mediocrity wildcard weekend, where a midtable result gets rewarded in season 2026. Something like 180, 000 footy fans attended these matches at the MCG. Big clubs like Collingwood and Carlton played off for a final’s spot against perennial also-rans the Western Bulldogs and Melbourne. If you build it they will come, to quote a line from an old sport’s movie.

Swans Still Standing

I have to admit that I shed a few tears following the Sydney Swans win over North Melbourne in the ultimate home and way round of the AFL season. Watching Captain Callum Mills’ emotional response was powerful after the week from hell. Yes, all these other longtime Swans players have been tarred with the same filthy brush as the miscreants facing a police investigation into alleged sex crime charges. Most pundits and myself expected the Swans to lose to the Kangaroos on the back of those missing stars and the upheaval to the team. It was not to be, as the club showed it was made of sterner stuff. The Swans still standing prevail to the ovation of the SCG crowd.

Episode 30: Sydney Swans Sex Crime Allegations - Robert Sudha Hamilton's Podcast

Longtime Swan's supporter Robert Sudha Hamilton lays it all on the line over these salacious allegations in search of the stripped down facts.Isaac Heeney seems to be at the centre of this tawdry affair. A toothpaste smile does not necessarily equate with high moral fibre, it appears. Exotic dancers or strippers & AFL celebrity players do not make for amenable bedfellows it seems. I am putting my hand up to confess that I am a longtime supporter of the Sydney Swans. What did Confucious say? ‘May you live during interesting times’ or words to that effect, perhaps. Regular readers may be aware of the many posts I have written about the fortunes of the red and white AFL side this year. In an ironic twist, I have been bemoaning the lack of on-field mongrel in this normally squeaky clean team. Hells bells, I did not wish to shake down the thunder from the sky. What I wanted was some more fight and desperation out on the footy field. What we have all got, it appears, is some God awful, alleged sexual assault.Tune into get the low down & if you are a Swans supporter I share your grief!Robert Sudha Hamiltonhttps://www.golfdom.com.au/ https://www.midasword.com.au/

The latest news has former GWS, Collingwood and Swan Taylor Adams allegedly being in that hotel room on the night. I would stress again that this whole thing by the players involved is so dumb that it beggars belief...
