PLANET IN TURMOIL
In recent weeks, so much has happened in geopolitics that readers may be excused for being utterly confused.
With great effort, we get our head around the tumultuous events of the past 24 hours. Then we wake up the following day only to discover that the entire geopolitical picture has been repainted. All of these events are portentous and some will have immediate knock-on effects in our own country.
· The Iran/Israel/US conflict;
· The ping-pong existence/non-existence of the Epstein Files;
· The slow-motion collapse of the UK Government;
· The role of Macron in Rothschild destruction of France; and the bloke he calls his wife;
· The upcoming metamorphosis of Ukraine;
· The Indian/Pakistan conflict and its Zionist inspiration;
· The disintegration of MAGA;
· The AUKUS farce and Australia’s lack of a functioning defense policy or a genuine ADF; and
· Aboriginal organisational corruption.
My immediate problem is that I want to present a concise but accurate picture and how this will affect Australians, and also readers in other countries; but to provide the evidence that shaped my conclusions would make up a 500-page book, which nobody would read anyway. To reduce the complex miasma that is world politics today to just a few readable pages is impossible, unless I resort to a shortcut. What I call DIY sourcing.
You have a choice: You can either be a doubting Thomas and do your own homework and consult the sources, or you can just trust me. This is never recommended. If you are a doubter, the following is the list of analysts, authors, journalists, and military veterans whose posts and interviews I consider for some ten hours per day, every day, and who are, collectively, responsible for my conclusions. If you are familiar with these names, you will have little difficulty following the narrative, but if they mean nothing to you, you are definitely inadequately informed, presumably because your time is captive to job and family.
If you are in the latter category, I do truly empathise. I well remember those days of coming home from an exhausting day at work, then to have a crying baby thrust in my arms while my harassed wife prepared dinner and bathed the kids. Then came reading to the children and doing the dishes. The world had to wait, as did music and everything else dear to me.
You time-starved workers and parents are the reason I write this Substack. The world is on the edge of an existential precipice and we all need to clutch whatever information comes our way so that we might protect our family and, dare I say it, our community. The following is my lineup of geopolitical pundits and gurus; in my opinion, the best in the world. This then serves a second purpose. It saves you wasting time chasing up credible sources of news and current events. Honestly, some of these people are the world’s best. If you want geopolitics from a weapons and armament logistics perspective, Mark Sleboda is the best. For global diplomacy, there is nobody who can touch Alistair Crooke. On Middle East/Russian relations, Pepe Escobar. And so on. Each is unsurpassed in his own domain. I am happy to offer an opinion on who best to read to address a specific topic… tonyryan43@gmail.com
Mark Sleboda, Douglas Macgregor, Scott Ritter, Larry Wilkerson, Patrick Lawance,
Ray McGovern, Andre Martyanov, Danny Haiphong, Pepe Escobar, Jeffrey Sachs, John Mearsheimer,
Daniel Davis, Norman Finklestein, Larry Johnston, Judge Andrew Napolitano, Gerald Clente, Alistair Crooke, Prof Sayed Marandi, K J Noh, Ben Norton, Patrick Heningsen, Alexander Mercuris, Shir Hever, Brian Berletic, Max Blumenthal, Dmitry Orlov, Ehsan Safarnejad, and Dan Kovalik.
However, when this post reached 22 pages, I had to change tactics. I am now morphing into Substack machinegun mode, firing off each article or group of articles separately. Too much is happening. But then as a prelude to WWIII one might have expected this.
A MEGA-MAGA MOMENT
Trump speaks the truth. He is making America great again. But we need to define what he meant by “Great”.
The US has waged war against sovereign nations since 1901 when it machine-gunned 8000 children on Samar Island in the Philippines and, since 1946, invaded sixty-one nations, plundering their resources and enslaving their people. Killing half a million children in Iraq was a significant advance on Samar.
In the last four years, we have lost count of how many more peoples have become victims to US Greatness. Trump has forecast yet five more invasions.
So… this is what made America great and Trump is making America greater; this time on steroids… war, war, and more war. The question is: Can the planet, let alone humanity, handle such greatness.
MIDDLE EAST
Israel attacked Iran, militarily as well as by assassination of several leaders and hundreds of innocent civilians. This was during a ceasefire brokered by Trump. Iran retaliated and wiped out several strategic installations. Maersk cancelled further shipping to Haifa, further undermining Israel’s economy. Greece has led a black-ban on Israeli freight.
Trump ordered Iran to terminate uranium enrichment and missile manufacture and then used B2 stealth bombers to wipe out the Iranian underground enrichment facility.
Meanwhile, Iran, wisely distrusting Trump, moved the key materials and equipment. Apparently, the famed bunker busters penetrated a mere 65 M before being deflected by angled granite ballast.
In response to highly visible US/Israeli treachery, several nations advised Trump that his threats were unsupported and that Iran will be backed in the event of further US/Israel hostilities. Basically, NATO members support Trump while BRICS members and most other countries oppose both the US and Israel. Experts have pointed out that, contrary to Israeli/US accusations, Iran suspended nuclear weapon research in 2003 and that it was Trump who cancelled the inspection and suspension agreement. Also that the US has no legal or moral right to dictate nuclear policy to anyone.
China has agreed to sell 30 of its revolutionary jetfighters to Iran as a means of upgrading its air force. Meanwhile, Yemen’s Ansarallah Houthis have sunk two more ships in the Red Sea, thereby denying Israel supplies, and they have cost the US $1 billion dollars in lost planes and wasted missiles and drones. Ansarallah say they will continue to deny Israel shipping until the genocide in Gaza is stopped.
A little context is called for here. Although the US Administration considers the Houthi to be a bunch of sandalled feral desert ragheads, these were the highly regarded students of theology who brought Islam to Malaysia and Indonesia, many centuries ago. They are sophisticated Yemenis possessing a wide array of technical skills and extremely well educated as well as being renowned for courage and fighting skills. The US will regret not doing its homework as advised by Sun Tzu.
Both Russia and China have warned Trump to back off with the unprovoked attacks. According to insiders, the US administration is fixated on its Hollywood presentation of US military supremacy, entirely oblivious to its descent to number five on the global military ascendancy scale; and to its rapidly-crumbling economy and critical lack of an industrial base.
Professor Jeffrey Sachs, advisor to many governments, including the US, calculated that 93% of the world’s actual population condemns the Genocide of Palestinians. Thus, the American Empire and its Middle East attack dog, Israel, have lost global support and now rely essentially on corrupt politicians; most of whom were blackmailed into compliance by Jeffrey Epstein, the Mossad/CIA, and Robert and Ghislaine Maxwell.
The blackmailing of western politicians has been so pervasive that Trump was forced to cancel the public release of the Epstein client list. As an old friend of Epstein’s, his name is most certainly on the “client list”… a euphemism for victim lineup. Cancellation provoked a firestorm from Trump’s supporters[TR1] and antagonists alike, leading to official denial that such a list existed. The story that Epstein committed suicide in prison, although ridiculed by insiders and experts, is now the official story, complete with obviously ‘trumped-up’ evidence.
As was exposed by then Liberal Senator Heffernan, a similar list of 28 blackmailed Australian paedophile politicians is believed to be the mere tip of the blackmail iceberg, much-expanded through corruption, fraud, videoed underage sex, and ineligibility for membership of the two houses of Parliament. Longtime observers claim all western governments have been targeted.
UNITED KINGDOM
PM Starmer has engaged in his own free-reigning corruption and the British Labour Party has failed for months to call him out. Now the Court has demanded that Starmer resign, which means it is too late for the Labour Party to jettison their leader and they must now go down with his ship. Constitutional experts regard this as the worst political scandal in British history.
Meanwhile, the British economy is teetering on the abyss and it is entirely possible that civil disturbances will morph into civil war.
FRANCE
Several French journalists have dug up proof that President Emanuel Macron’s wife is in fact a man and this was publicised by popular US online journalist Candace Owens. Although the Macrons have attempted legal and other forms of pressure to bear, the Courts have upheld accusations.
Zionist journalist Piers Morgan bet Candace a $100,000 she is wrong, so he now owes her. The majority of viewers believe Morgan to be a man devoid of honour and that he will renege on the bet. This will undoubtedly be the coup de grace to his career, much to the relief of long-suffering viewers, weary of his total reliance on personal belief and flat refusal to acknowledge irrefutable evidence.
Meanwhile, a French politician who proved that Macron betrayed France’s energy interests to the Rothschilds for profit and political advancement, was described as having committed suicide. This is regarded by the public, world-wide as well as in France, to be that same brand of murder that is killing whistleblowers the world over, including in Australia.
AUSTRALIA
Coincidentally, we hope, the military in Darwin is extremely active with its annual Pitch Black exercise, while the US Indian-Pacific Command tests its readiness for full-on war with China. Abram tanks have been provided to Taiwan and similar activity is at fever pitch in the Philippines which, hosting nine US military bases, is expected to play the same fall-guy proxy-war role as Australia. If war ensues, the death rate in the Philippines will be in the millions.
Ergo, Chinese preemptive and reprisal missile strikes will knock out US installations in both countries, but limiting the death rate to Australians and Filipinos instead of Americans. Israel and Ukraine play a similar role, illuminated cynically by the American battle cry “We will fight to the last Ukrainian”. A moment of review…does this make the US a Proxy Empire?
One of the participants in Pitch Black will be Indonesia who, hilariously, recently completed a Navy Exercise with Russia. Other participants have recently exercised with China.
Ingenuously, the US has included Singapore in the exercises, apparently oblivious to its role as industrial nerve centre for mainland China.
The Rupert Murdoch media, especially Sky News and the ABC, made much of a Chinese Navy Fleet visitation to the Tasman Sea, portraying this old-school style as typical Sino/Commo intimidation, and ‘proving’ unarguably that China is about to invade Australia. Australia is experiencing the worst jingoism since the 1950s. There is no element of panic in the voices of journalists and presenters because this is their cue to say “America will defend us”. AUKUS and all that.
What was known all along to online geopolitical pundits was that China was demonstrating to their intended audience in Pine Gap and the Pentagon, that the first US act of hostility against mainland China will result in the pre-programmed ship-launched Dong Feng-41 scramjet-powered hypersonic glide missiles, capable of Mach 20 and fully-maneuverable-to-target, to commence their 12 minute unstoppable journey to variously: Pine Gap, all seven Tindal Air Base nuclear-armed B52s, and several sites in Darwin and west of Kakadu. Military site workers claim there are some fifteen such installations in the NT alone.
Two targets in Darwin, incidental or deliberate, will be the ten giant Inpex gas tanks in East Arm; and also the eleven large US jet fuel tanks situated a few metres up the road. Opinions regarding impact vary but the consensus is that the eastern sectors of Darwin CBD and Stewart Park; Bishop Street, Winnellie, Berrimah, and Pinelands industrial estates, and Palmerston Residential region, will be flattened and/or incinerated. The vaporization of the Shoal Bay US facility may well disable or destroy both Royal Darwin Hospital and Palmerston Hospital. The destruction of the submarine base on the south-western side of the CBD will probably eliminate the other half of the city. The possible death rate may be 140,000.
Meanwhile, the radioactive cloud rising above what was once the town of Katherine (Tindal), will make its merry way overland to the Kimberly and Indonesia. “Terima kasih, Aussie” will not be the Djakarta response.
It appears that, despite a written warning six months ago, the NT Government has no air-raid sirens with which to warn Territorians; no bomb shelters to run to anyway; no emergency response protocols or equipment other than that for a cyclone; all because “this is a Federal Government responsibility”. Although the risks were presented to the CLP in an in-house discussion paper there has been no response.
Prime Minister Albanese cannot take the initiative because the only Australian of consequence who has warned of this looming catastrophe was former Liberal Party Prime Minister, Malcolm Fraser in his book “Dangerous Allies”. Albanese is terrified that he will be lambasted for delivering the message of his ideological enemy; presented as reversing Labor Policy at the direction of the deceased Liberal leader who sacked Labor’s Gough Whitlam. It is all too much. Better that the nation be destroyed than have his ego dented.
Albanese’s fallback position has been to visit China; presumably, the rationale being that if we Aussies cuddle up to Xi, China will not wipe out the American bases when Trump attacks. When, like me, you are quite literally sitting on the powder keg in Darwin, this is not reassuring. I truly hope Albanese did not resort to calling Xi “Daddy”, as seems to be the placatory fashion of late. Snubbed by Trump, perhaps he sees this as his only recourse.
More articles in a day or two…

LOL. This is like some high school theatre, with a kid director replacing stage props that have been broken or somebody forgot to bring. The script called for B2s and bunker busters, notwithstanding that bunker busters are a theory.
So now the B2s were cancelled? And Bunker Busters scrapped in favour of something that actually works... Tomahawks. And nothing that ticks on a Geiger was damaged.
Silly me, it was a comedy all the time.
Very well written and concise summary, thanks.
