Of Interest
Taking a look at Al-Jazeera coverage, and the conspicious absence of some events overlapping between Australia and Qatar.
While visiting my Aunt in Wollongong, one of her neighbours mentioned that he got up at 6am to watch Al-Jazeera news on SBS, where they were piping that through to their main broadcast, and that it gave an intriguingly "different" point of view.
I’ve long been interested in Chomsky’s writings, but I could always see good and bad in them. I’ve struggled to understand foreign policy and how the US fits in. It’s different to the picture painted by both Chomsky and his opponents.
My name is John August, Treasurer of Pirate Party Australia; I've stood for the last Federal election as a NSW Senate Candidate.
A top-level look at the current tensions in politics in Australia, and a plug for the Pirate Party. (This was written around the time of Abbott, but I still think my comments hold now, at the end of Albanese's first term.)
I gave this presentation on the 7/2/19 at Ryde-Eastwood Leagues Club.I am not presently planning to stand for the next NSW State election, butI do hope that I can nevertheless make a worthwhile contribution. If anyonewants to support me standing as an independent, let me know!
I've long been intrigued with the idea of slowing aging and living longer. While some get emotional about it - that you're denying nature's plan and order - I've no such issues. But I have listened to the views of advocates for life extension and those of mainstream science. And rather than mainstream science being a killjoy, it does have a detailed picture of ageing, one that's worth understanding.
I was involved in a motor vehicle accident which was the other person's fault - something I was able to prove in court. But, along the way there were many obstacles and misunderstandings around insurance, the regulations around "written off vehicles", and the courts.
Hello John
I've been long been intrigued by Islam, and the debate around it. There's a combination of fair and unfair criticisms, swirled around by distortions on both sides.
Background
I'm writing this in reply to an article on Natural News by Mr. Mike Adams, which Ms. Ivette Mendoza put me onto. Now, this is not the only anti-vaccination article, and I'm not the only pro-vaccination writer out there. But, maybe here's a "hook" where people who know my writing might find this interesting, and maybe I'll add something to the scene.
