France is ditching Microsoft Windows and so should Australia, but will it?

AS many (European) nations ditch the 'surveillance state' products that emanate from the head of the Five Eyes snake, many others are locked in to feed the beast.

If a nation that governs approximately 70 million people can abandon closed source data hoovering monopolised operating system, there is no technical reason why fascist rulers governing a colony of approximately 28 million tax slaves cannot do the same.

The real reason is political, where the lawmakers, politicians, bureaucrats are not "public servants", but rather corporate whores, subservient to 'Big Tech', Big Pharma, Big (Four) Banks, et al.

The Australian population/serfs/plebs are nothing more than another 'resource' to be fully exploited.

Australian governments are putting the people's data/privacy in danger since all that data goes to Microsoft where we do not know where else it goes and who they sell it to.

France Kicks Windows to the Curb, Pivots to Linux OS

David Amiel, France’s Minister of Public Action and Accounts, said his country must 'break free' and 'become less reliant on American tools.'

Amid strained relationships between the Trump administration and the EU, numerous politicians in the bloc have discussed pivoting away from US technology firms in the interests of national security, including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and French President Emmanuel Macron.

Now, France has announced it’s moving some of its government systems away from Windows towards the open-source operating system Linux, following Denmark and parts of Germany announcing similar departures from Microsoft products earlier this year.

David Amiel, France’s Minister of Public Action and Accounts, said his country must “break free” and “become less reliant on American tools.”

“We can no longer accept that our data, our infrastructure, and our strategic decisions depend on solutions whose rules, pricing, evolution, and risks we do not control,” Amiel said in a statement first spotted by TechCrunch.

Linux, as it is open source, means you can run software without using an OS controlled and designed by an American firm—for example, Apple or Microsoft, as in the case of iOS and Windows. France’s government digital agency, DINUM, will be the first to make the jump, with other parts of government following at a later date.

The news comes after France announced it would be migrating its national healthcare database from US-based providers to an unnamed new platform earlier this month. It’s also set to pivot from using Microsoft Teams for video conferencing to the French-made tool Visio across all government departments.

Independence from US tech enjoys broad support in much of the EU. Around two-thirds of EU citizens support greater independence from American technology, according to recent market research from YouGov, particularly in areas like data storage and video conferencing. However, roughly four in ten thought independence was unrealistic.

In January, a clear majority of European lawmakers voted to adopt a report on technological sovereignty and digital infrastructure that directs the European Commission to find ways to reduce its reliance on foreign technology providers in areas like semiconductors, cloud infrastructure, software, and AI systems.

If you truly value your online privacy, then you would not use Microsoft's products.

NEVER forget the the creep Zuckerberg LIES to an authority (Congress) so why should he not lie to his 'products' you know the people that use his platforms.

See report:

Never trust what the pervert says, especially when it's to the goyím (né cattle).

Keep in mind that he's a government 'resource' as he's operating under the Five-Eyes 'Anglosphere' surveillance network.

JB Hi-Fi Rip Off Merchants?

The retail business in Australia is pretty simple or at the least one would think so.

You import something (as Australia for all intents and purposes doesn’t ‘make’ anything anymore except an excellent clown show at the expense of Aussie taxpayers) put a markup on it that is reasonable to afford profit and running costs.

What’s not OK is to sell old stock at a rip-off price as if that object was to be bought at the (higher) price of a newer model with a higher markup, as it’s accepted by the petrochemical giants.

 

In this snapshot sample from early April 2026, JB Hi-Fi is selling a current model (released Aug 2025) Google Pixel 10 Pro XL (6.8“ screen) with 265GB of storage for $1597, whereas they are also selling a two generation old, released Oct 2023, Google Pixel 8 Pro (6.7“ screen) with only 128GB for $1687, where simple maths will tell you that it’s $90 more than a newer model with double the storage.

While the nomenclature, "Pro XL" v "Pro" it's essentially the same phone size albeit the upgrade version.

What’s worse is that this sort of action hasn’t caught the eye of the authorities?

Well it looks like the place is still a “lucky country”, (side fact - at law Australia is still a colony) but for whom?

Do your due diligence before spending your hard earned cash (unless you're a tradie in the building industry and you're ripping off customers), as some retailers to not act conscionably. 

PLEASE NOTE:

What corporations do, is that IF they're caught out and going to be taken to court, meaning the matter is accepted by the legal system, i.e. a filing is made, then they settle out of court (that way the matter is not listed for a hearing) where if you are to receive 'compensation' then they shut you up by 'forcing' you to sign their NDA or you will not get compensated.

This is how fraud and corruption is kept out of the public eye in this "lucky country".

NEVER accept that this nation isn't rife with corruption.

It's highly dependent on it.

Australia Is Facing Something Far Worse Than A Recession

Australia has become an absolute shithole now, where this is as a result of a few decades of actions by both federal & state Liberal and Labor 'governments'.

Quite simply put the fascists in control HATE the Australian public, taxpayers, voters or constituents.

Stagflation is the order of the business years.

So what does the government do? 

It imports 500,000 Indian nationals alone into the colony per year (for 10 years) to falsely prop up the 'economy'.

Aussies are going to be screwed with a 'government' created recession.

In reality the people in charge must be razed to the ground and a new 'administration' installed, in a similar manner to Israel's oops Frump's new regime change in 'Eye'ran.

See Michael Cowan's, Australia Is Facing Something Far Worse Than A Rcession video below:

Opinion:

It is not recommended to 'invest' within the shores of Australia, where it's better to do business elsewhere, for greater returns.

The people in charge have truly screwed to (good) people of Australia over!

Australia's new Nazi style snatch & incarcerate law

Australia is truly corrupt, corrupt to the core, AND

AS time goes on the (penal) colony's governments make it harder and harder for the general population to live peacefully.

Make no mistake about it, Australia is not a democracy but rather a fascist state, just to name one aspect of it.

 See 6 minute video by Punter's Politics:

EMPIRES & IMPERIALISM

“England, in what is now Britain, wanted more land overseas where it could build new communities, known as colonies.

These colonies would provide England with valuable materials, like metals, sugar and tobacco, which they could also sell to other countries.”

The purpose of expanding an empire is therefore to enrich and empower the empire by extracting labour, natural resources to sell to other countries. In a fanciful, modern world, a reigning empire would not need to permanently occupy or colonise other countries to enrich itself, the empire would expand its power by;

1. Inserting the worlds most market dominate and disruptive companies within pre-existing colonies, extracting the most value from those colonies and paying the least taxes in those colonies.

2. Ensuring that a colonies most valued corporations are majority owned and controlled by the empire.

3. Buying companies and strategic assets in the colonies they want to extract value from.

4. Funding the media in the colonies they want to influence and extract value from. Once a colonies media is influenced by the empire, the media can then propagandise the public to manufacture  consent for government policies that enrich the empire.

5. Fabricating propaganda to justify bombing existing colonies and toppling democratically elected leaders of those colonies. The empire would then plant empire friendly leaders and station themselves in these colonies for as long as it took, to; build military bases, extract valuable natural resources, and sell over priced military equipment and other contracts to colluding colonies. 

For an empire to succeed under these conditions it would need to rely on the following;

1. That a colonies ruler(s), values money, public opinion and political tenure / power and therefore can be influenced by money, public opinion and positive media coverage to increase their political tenure. 

2. That media proprietors and shareholders value money and therefore can be influenced by it. If media proprietors can be influenced by money, political narratives can be influenced by money. 

3. That a society is generally predisposed to revering authorities, group-think, convenience, comfort and safety and therefore can be influenced by authorities, popular opinion, repeated narratives and political initiatives that allegedly promise more convenience, comfort and safety for the colonies inhabitants.

What a crazy and fanciful idea. Who would ever believe it?

Today, Australia is STILL a colony therefore under 'colonial' rule which is not good for the people.

VicPol Files: Court Out - Police still illegally alleging drivers are speeding

The colony’s state police forces are corrupt, they’re corrupt to the core where at the end of the day one cannot trust the police in one’s matters.

The state’s police forces are not ‘honourable’ where at the least they’re dishonest and at most their actions are criminal. 

ALWAYS record interactions with police and NEVER rely on their Body Worn Cameras.

Just because Victoria Police have been illegally catching drivers allegedly speeding and you’ve caught them out in a ‘court of public record’ doesn’t mean they’ll stop.

What’s worse nowadays is that there are no ‘investigative’ journalists or court reporters that will report such illegal activity by police.

What’s also worse is that when you ‘the defendant’ exposes this illegality by police, the judicial system does nothing about it.

It’s all about you ‘feeding’ the corrupt Anglo-Masonic legal system, that is deliberately designed against the people from the very start.

The so called ‘Rule of Law’, alleged innocent until proven otherwise or rather “Presumption of Innocence” only looks good on paper but in reality it’s a farce.

At law, it is illegal for Victoria Police to measure ‘speed’ or rather the vehicle’s velocity (distance / time), where the metric under question is distance, where the measured distance must be taken horizontally, i.e. on a plane that has zero degrees.

Example of camera car on an incline

This is not a new law, where it’s been in place for over 40 years.

Yet Victoria Police still point their measuring devices up or down hills, and therefore issuing fines illegally.

Kustom Signals, Inc. ProLaser 4 Operator Manual.

How can one prove the illegality of Victoria Police actions?

Use the Subpoena Form 42B, (from the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria), to obtain;

1). the meta data from the measuring device, 

(they may deceive you that they cannot retrieve it or it doesn't exist)

2). the Operator Manual for the measuring device used,

(they may deceive you that they do not have a copy of it)

keeping in mind that the burden of proof is on the accuser.

The judicial system provides false, misleading or deceptive information to defendants or people going 'against' the system, every single day.

Also keep in mind that the 'gatekeeper' (Registrar) may not allow your subpoena through, where that person may be obstructing the course of justice by not allowing you to obtain the necessary documents that may prove your not guilty of the alleged offence.

Obstructing the course of justice is a criminal offence.

Trump's Lies Exposed in a Series of Contradictions.

The old adage; "How do you know a politician is lying? His lips are moving" holds truth in Trump's public appearances.

See a collection of Trump's public appearances where he lies through his teeth to the world, as collated by Jimmy Dore within the video of the title: WATCH: Trump CAN’T STOP Contradicting Himself! , paying attention to Kurt Metzger's comments.

Trump lied on "regime change", day care, medicaid, medicare just to name a few.

With the U.S. and Israel attack on Iran, it's very clear that the US is Israel's soldier.

If Every Nation Is in Debt, Who Are They Paying? How Governments install Austerity

The people in governments and corporations truly do not care about the 'people'/serfs/commoners/general population.

The people in government are generally self serving, where all they truly care about is how much they can siphon from the positions they're in.

This 12 minute video is a great summary of how governments install austerity via a fraudulent monetary system.

Australia's fuel crisis - 'National Security' Failure of Government

Source: PetrolSpy

FORGET about Australia being a "lucky country" spruiked by media and government.

Pen was put to paper that Australia is run "mainly by second rate people" and that was in the mid 1960's.

Well, legally it's still a colony, but that topic is beyond the scope of this article.

Nowadays it's worse, it's run by people that are not fit to run ANY kind of business, let alone a nation, period.

'National Security' is not just about military prowess but also infrastructure and resources fall under this category.

The fact that the Australian authorities have allowed the resource called fuel to (allegedly) run dry is a 'failure of government' where realistically there should be an inquiry into this with real world consequences where people MUST lose their cushy jobs.

BUT in reality this will never happen, as the nation is run by a 'cartel' where the courts are part if this as well.

Whenever Royal Commissions or inquiries are held there is no remedy for the serfs/plebs/commoners.

They're always the ones that pay.

In this example, with the highlighted cost of 91 unleaded at $3.12 per litre, corporations are racketeering the people with zero 'remedy' in sight from the authorities.

That's life in a totalitarian (penal) colony called Australia!
