In response to Terrorism and the deliberate corruption of language and meaning

Labor is inspired by Trump

This assessment articulates a position which the governing Australian political class across the Labor, Liberal and National parties – and outfits like One Nation – are seeking to silence and destroy.

A problem for the political class is that the language of “defending democracy” against “terrorists” for decades in wars of choice which have killed millions of “others”, has been exposed as a flagrant lie by their unequivocal support for genocide, their support for the illegal war against Iran and their refusal to uphold their obligations under the UN Charter and International law.

The governing political class supports Trumpism and its death machine to the tune of billions of dollars. The prime minister boasts he’s “done everything asked of him” by Trump.

The dominant bloc at the Labor “conference” said there was “a concerted attempt by hard-core revolutionary communists in league with Islamist extremists to subvert the union movement, the branches and the Labor Party”.

Phantom “reds and Islamists in the same beds” is straight from the mouth of Trump, an inane internal contradiction given that Trump publicly lauds the Syrian Al Qaeda regime. As the co-hosts of Ette sardonically observed, “thank you Labor for being inspired by Trump”.
