Something Wrong In The State Of Victoria

Is something wrong in the state of Victoria? A gutless, coward runs down a middle aged woman. Yes, a 43 YO man attacks an older woman with his 4WD in the main street of Wangaratta. Helen Haines, the local MP, is fighting for her life […]

Why Do People Back The Loudest Voice In The Room?

Psychologically those individuals who back strongman leaders often feel that they need the protection of bullies. Trump voters in America, the MAGA faithful fall into this category. Why do people back the loudest voice in the room? White supremacists and racists are, when you boil it down, fearful of those they perceive as different from themselves. They want the faces on their streets to comfortably resemble their own. Far right political parties like One Nation use social media to emphasise examples of crimes being committed by Australians with dark skin, as if these folk are the only ones doing such things. This misleading propaganda rallies their supporters around key elements of their anti-immigration platform.

Will Australia Stand Up To Trump?

OK, the Trump regime is now live streaming public executions by firing squad. It started with UFC staged fights on the White House lawn and has descended into further barbarism. Did you know that if you criticise ICE on social media and live in the United States, you can expect a visit from DHS to your home? This is fascism up and running in America. ICE continues to shoot and murder American citizens in cold blood around the country. This huge paramilitary force of heavily armed, masked henchmen is spreading fear wherever they go. I wonder for how much longer is the Australian government going to turn a blind eye to the abominable behaviour of its ally? When will Australia say to Trump’s America enough is enough? Will Australia stand up to Trump?

Episode 31: Weimar Republic, Trump & I Am For Us - Robert Sudha Hamilton's Podcast

Robert Sudha Hamiltonmidasword.com.auWhy the Weimar Republic Matters?An interesting historical fact to ponder is that the Weimar Republic was never contemporaneously referred to by that name. It was Adolf Hitler who named it as such in a speech and began the far right denigration of Germany’s fledgling experiment with democracy. There are strong parallels with today, right around the world.Donald Trump, like many millions of Americans, has German ancestry.Far right political parties, billionaires and Big Tech want to take over the world.This bubbles in the blood of many Americans.
