that's right.

John Fitzpatrick. About New China, the Koreas, Myanmar, Thailand, and also about Japanese and Chinese writers and poets. The main emphasis is on North Asia and the political tectonics of this very important, powerful, and many-peopled area.

I grew up in an era in Australia when everything Arabs did was evil, and everything that Israel did was great. I read all those Leon Uris books about righteousness and kibbutzes etc. That time ended, naturally, decades ago. That notion couldn't survive reality, though Israel did try, and still does try, to push themselves to being the only ones who matter time and time again. But that is absurd. Israel, as the Sole Violent and Selfish Predator in the Middle East, well, its well past time that the old fantasy ended. It is a small nation, or dot, that isn't productive without massive annual US funding, whether at peace or in battle. It can't compete with any neighbour. Its warlike philosophy and bizarre religion is as baseless as all others, and more so, and it does not matter at all. We all grew up whilst Israel was leisurely playing by the pool and blackmailing everyone, and cheating everyone, on earth every day. Let it be the tiny vicious paranoid enclave it is. A dot. No one wants it to be something else. No one wants it to grow. No one who matters. It is a cancer on us all.

I do remember when Australia was a decent country, with good rule of law, compassion for the oppressed, and generally looking forward to a great and even a kind of independent and free future. It's getting very sad now. Kind of dark. ASIO, ASIS,ASD...they had a chance to act decently. They even sometimes did...but now...you may was well add IDF as a title for government decisions. Disgusting. The President of Israel had a private meeting with Australia's 'secret agents' when he dropped in. They didn't even try to arrest him, although his love for and involvement in and attachment to genocide is so damn clear.
Sad.

Australia, its kind of sad
So, we are so far up the rectums/recta? of Donald Trump and Mr Netanyahu, that we welcome the President of Israel to my country, and seek to make laws to make Israel so very even more special.
I've voted Labor for eons now, but the Greens are beginning to look more intelligent and more humanly respectable.
Its getting near time that Ghislaine Maxwell is moved from the Happy Florida Gaol, for deeply held national security terrorist fears, and disappears, much like in a succinct Witness Protection Program, only to turn up in...Israel, or in Scotland, living a quiet, free, and undisturbed pleasant life. The decision will be by the guy who is replacing Pam Bondi as Attorney General...or perhaps it will be her last critically important decision? It's coming up...time is just about up for the big move.
