A hard game is being fought with ‘soft power’ in the Asia-Pacific. Australia & New Zealand are taking on Chinese and Russian media influence in nations of the Asia-Pacific region. ABC and RadioNZ are the chosen vehicles for this geopolitical struggle. declassifiedaus.org/2026/07/11/c...

Diphtheria is a disease of poverty: overcrowded housing, poor sanitation, low incomes and food insecurity, and barriers to transport and healthcare access. It is racist govts who ignore systemic public health measures because they are fixated on locking up kids. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

New from DECLASSIFIED AUSTRALIA Australia’s F-35 fighter jet ‘parts’ may be whisked off the shelves at RAAF Williamtown Air Base in NSW — on the whim of a foreign state, to be exported to a foreign country, in a distant war zone. ‘SELLING OUT OUR SOVEREIGNTY’ declassifiedaus.org/2025/12/02/s...

DOCUMENTS: AUSTRALIA’S KNOWING SILENCE TO PLANS FOR ETHNIC CLEANSING OF GAZA Kellie Tranter reveals internal Foreign Affairs documents reveal the extent of government knowledge of our closest ally’s complicity with Israel’s intentions of ethnic cleansing in Gaza. declassifiedaus.org/2025/09/15/d...
Good old Aussie knowhow in every F-35 fighter jet slaughtering these refugees in their tents in Gaza. Why is our government so complicit? Background: declassifiedaus.org/2025/07/11/r...
We are not children — we deserve some actual clarity. ASIO and PM have a duty to explain their odd statements made yesterday: ▪️ASIO saying it “suspects” the IRGC. ▪️ASIO saying attacks are “linked” to the IRGC. 👉 ‘Trust, but verify.’ More: x.com/petercronau/...
We do not have to accept US nuclear weapons on B-52 bombers to be stored in Australia. Every government needs to find its backbone — and on this issue, Australian lives depend on resisting. declassifiedaus.org/2025/08/26/w...
‘Mislead’ is a polite way of saying the government are liars — to cover up our supplying weapons parts to Israel’s genocide. "The government has chosen to mislead the public and, even when caught out, refused to correct the record.” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

Opposition to the rising fascism is a bowl of mashed potatoes.
Lilian Hellman wrote that Hollywood responded to the "wild charges of Joe McCarthy with the force and courage of a bowl of mashed potatoes." Universities were just as weak. This 1986 @bostonreview.bsky.social article explains how it went down step-by-step. www.bostonreview.net/articles/rea...
