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:
“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.

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.
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.
See "If Every Nation Is in Debt… Who Are They Paying?" by Hidden Capital
"We the people" are the April Fools.
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!
Hong Kong police can now demand that people suspected of breaching the city’s national security law provide mobile phone or computer passwords in a further crackdown on dissent.
The amendments to the law also empower customs officers to seize items that are deemed to have “seditious intention”, regardless of whether any person has been arrested for an offence endangering national security because of the items.
Refusing to comply could lead to up to one year’s jail and a fine of up to HK$100,000 ($12,773), while providing false or misleading information could bring up to three years’ imprisonment and a fine of up to HK$500,000.
The city government on Monday published the amendments to the national security law imposed by Beijing in 2020, using powers to bypass Hong Kong’s legislature. Officials will brief lawmakers on Tuesday, a government statement said.
The sweeping law punishes acts, including subversion and collusion with foreign forces, with up to life imprisonment.
The law sparked criticism from western governments and rights groups but Beijing and Hong Kong officials said it was needed to restore stability after the city was rocked by months of pro-democracy protests in 2019.
The amendments empower police to require a person under investigation suspected of endangering national security to provide any password or decryption method for electronic devices and to give the police “any reasonable and necessary information or assistance”.
Urania Chiu, a law lecturer in the UK researching Hong Kong, said the new provisions interfered with fundamental liberties, including the privacy of communication and the right to a fair trial.
Chiu said: “The sweeping powers given to law enforcement officers without any need for judicial authorisation are grossly disproportionate to any legitimate aim the bylaw purports to achieve.”
A Hong Kong government spokesperson said the amended rules conformed to the city’s mini-constitution, the Basic Law, and its human rights provisions, and “will not affect the lives of the general public or the normal operation of institutions and organisations”.
According to the Security Bureau, a total of 386 people have been arrested for national security crimes so far, with 176 people and four companies convicted. The Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai was sentenced to a 20-year jail term in February for collusion with foreign forces and sedition, sparking international criticism.

If people believe they have a right to ‘free speech’ under an amendment to whatever so called constitution their nation has, this is not the case in the digital world.
Corporations rule and are given free reign over the online serfs/slaves/products.
They and only they can decide what can be not only posted ‘publicly*’ but now privately, where there is little recourse if one has been banned from posting something.
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger now deletes content in ‘private’ messages between people.
No only does it (Meta) delete the message from the sender but it also deletes the recipient’s message.
The message can as innocuous as a cat video can be, to political satire or a link to a medical article, where ZERO justification is given and the content is removed.
We have entered a new age of slavery, digital slavery that even law makers in the ‘real world’ are upholding.
TV series Black Mirror seems to be a dystopian documentary series rather than just ‘entertainment’.
IF you value your privacy (and therefore security), Meta products are not recommended to be used.
* IT’s not technically ‘public’ as it exists within the (private) domain of that corporation’s forum/platform
A Reddit researcher just exposed how Meta funneled over $2 billion through shadowy nonprofits to push age verification laws that would force Apple and Google to build surveillance infrastructure into every device—while conveniently exempting Meta’s own platforms from the same requirements.
Meta’s lobbying operation spans 45 states using nonprofit shells to avoid transparency requirements.
The investigation by GitHub user “upper-up” traces funding through organizations like the Digital Childhood Alliance (DCA), which launched December 18, 2024, and testified for Utah’s SB-142 just days later. Bloomberg and Deseret News reported Meta’s backing of DCA, part of a $70 million fragmented super PAC strategy designed to evade FEC tracking. Traditional election spending disclosure requirements don’t apply to this fragmented approach.
Proposed laws would embed persistent identity verification directly into operating systems.
The technical reality hits harder than policy abstractions. These bills mandate OS-level APIs that apps can query for age data—creating a permanent identity layer baked into your phone’s core functions. Meta’s Horizon OS for Quest VR already implements this infrastructure through Family Center controls. Now they want Apple and Google to build similar systems that every app can access, turning age verification into persistent device fingerprinting.
Age verification bills target Meta’s competitors while leaving Meta platforms untouched.
Here’s where the lobbying gets surgical. The proposed laws hammer Apple’s App Store and Google Play with compliance requirements but reportedly spare social media platforms—Meta’s core business. It’s like Spotify lobbying for streaming regulations that only apply to Apple Music. The “child safety” rhetoric masks a competitive strategy that shifts liability from platforms to operating system makers.
EU’s eIDAS 2.0 offers privacy-preserving age verification with zero-knowledge proofs that protect personal data.
The European Union’s Digital Identity Wallet takes a radically different approach. Zero-knowledge proofs let you verify age without revealing personal data—like showing you’re over 18 without disclosing your birthdate or identity details. It’s open-source, self-hostable, and only applies to large platforms while exempting FOSS and small entities. Meanwhile, US lawmakers seem ready to let Meta bamboozle them into complete privacy annihilation.
Your
device’s trustworthiness hangs in the balance. These laws could force
every Linux distribution and privacy-focused Android fork to implement
identity verification or face legal liability. The choice between
surveillance-free computing and regulatory compliance is coming faster
than you think.

Australia has truly either absolute fuckwits or arseholes in charge of this colony.
In any event MANY should be removed from their positions, as they have failed the people.
Australia is one of the most resource rich land masses on the planet, yet it's wealth has been squandered by the morons in charge.
See a video of approx. a dozen minutes by TopherField:
"Australia - the 'Lucky Country'" run by total arseholes.
or more eloquently put by David Horne as explained in the following post:
