Ghosts of Albanese

1. Jon, I know how you feel.

   I just cannot express it as you do.

2. Steve, empathy and understanding are the better part of humanity.

   What you have already said is helpful, and your previous comment, information and citation: Israel Shahak, ‘The Weight of 3000 Years’ on Black Fog was immensely useful.

3. Everybody with any humanity would endorse Jon’s posting here and also his previous postings. The photographic evidence is a stark reminder that Australia from Governor General down, to Parliament, endorses a Genocide perpetrator. Never mind the coating his visit to “comfort” the victims families from the horrendous act of hatred on December14. His legacy is with more than 70,000 Palestinians murdered and probably many more in numbers hidden under rubble; or the doctors and patients in bombed hospitals’ or those who died through their being no hospitals left at all ; or those who died because they were deprived of food sanitation, clean water or any kind of sustenance . This doesn’t even count numerous numbers of Press representatives who have been killed and numerous international aids and officials in order to prevent the atrocities being published. All the deaths have pretended to have occurred because they were attacking Hamas. Children, babies ,innocent people . The whole place is rubble because of Israel and the USA and some dubious help from subdued and utterly subjugated nations to the USA, helping on the sides!

   It is beyond belief that our government is offering this Herzog person such a visit especially as he had even had the cheek to take a snipe at the so-called delay into Albanese’s response to the Bondi shooting.
   How many dead, innocent men women and children does Herzog mourn in the country next door to Israel ? None would be my guess .

4. Today in Sydney, ‘as protesters attempted to march, police pepper sprayed the crowd.’
   In other words, the cops attacked peaceful protesters! As per orders from the NSW state premier.

5. As has been said before in other posts:
   Mr Albanese: The crime that you ignore is the standard that YOU accept.
   I will add: Mr Albanese, you have no imprimatur to set this standard on behalf of 26 million Australian citizens.

6. I agree with all the above sentiments. Well done everybody!!

7. Mediocrates – Very nicely put, no rational argument against that no matter how high the clouds and corridors of power.

   Just been reviewing some extensive footage of last night but not sure if I should clutter our commentary with the fall-out we all predicted. Thank God so many people in Australia are prepared to stand their ground against what has become an authoritarian Labor regime both at Federal level, but particularly in NSW under the hubris of Minns.

   They both have ghosts that now will torment them if they have a conscience, but I doubt Minns would know what a conscience is, other than its usefulness in claiming the populist front to manipulate his Zionist cause in Australia – perhaps he is on the payroll or something a little more sinister like Epstein. Is he even that bright or just can’t get his moral clarity and cognitive dissonance together?

   I am encountering a few Zionist keyboard warriors out there – Have had to shut my internet link and PC down twice this morning, to prevent contamination.

8. Just wonderful Jon. You are nailing a truly Shakespearean moment as a true poet, as if we are watching a history play about a bunch of evil kings. But it’s real and upon us, esp for those suffering so terribly at their hands.

   I feel compelled to comment again on Liebler’s schtick labelling Australians antisemites a la the Presidential visit:

   “Here in Australia, we have watched antisemitism creep from the fringe into respectable spaces – into academia, the arts and progressive circles – where our fear is mocked, our history denied, and our right to self-determination put on trial. In 2026, the respectable way to express antisemitism is through the demonisation of Israel. When Israel is smeared as uniquely evil, ‘Zionist’ becomes a safe word for Jew. That is why false accusation of genocide and apartheid are not legitimate critique. They are a verdict. A moral inversion designed to strip Jews of legitimacy and turn Jewish survival into a crime. Bondi reminded us what happens when hatred is tolerated in polite society. It metastasises and destroys from within.”

   Nice one. The Libeller can freely incite on behalf of Herzog the Horrible – while the latter pretends to the ‘apolitical’, neutral language of a statesman – in order to unequivocally state that critics of Israel (i.e. of Israel’s conduct of its genocidal war in Gaza against Palestinians) across the Australian community (e.g., “academia, the arts and progressive circles”) not only tolerate antisemitism, but are also antisemites.

   Via his little discursive ploy that “Zionist becomes a safe word for Jew”, he reduces anti-Zionist/anti-Israel political critiques by concerned Australians to antisemitism so as to depict genuine dissent as a mere pretext for antisemitic (hate) speech.

   This is a blatant and provocative porky.

   Undaunted by ethics or political constraints in the purifying glow of Presidential immunity, The Libeller – by depicting Australian academics, artists, and progressives as “antisemitic” – can then proceed to state publicly his sinister conclusion that our Australian cultural communities (read ‘woke’ lefties) created the conditions for the Bondi massacre in virtue of their anti-Zionism/antisemitism, and are thereby responsible for it.

   This is 100% Trumpism, where our streets and our freedom to protest are being violated by our very own mini-versions of ICE (Special Powers).

   And I hold Albanese responsible for this divisive fiasco.

   He must either answer for it or step down.

9. From my humble perspective I believe that Albo is our own version of Arthur Neville Chamberlain….

10. MINNS, HERZOG, ZFA AND WHO ELSE? THE UNFOLDING PERFORMANCE AND NARRATIVE

    At first I thought at the beginning it was a Trump rally, but it was just Chris Minns basking in the limelight of fake reality and antisemitism, gaslighting on Tuesday night on stage in a shin dig for Herzog, Zionism, genocide and possibly more – ‘Israel in Australia’, not sure how many true Australians were there but I’m pretty sure the Jewish Council of Australia weren’t.

    NSW Premier Chris Minns spoke at the International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney in Darling Harbour on Tuesday, 10 February 2026, addressing a Community Event: He spoke with fanfare at the ‘Evening of Light and Solidarity’ hosted by the Zionist Federation of Australia (ZFA) in partnership with other ‘Jewish’ organisations, I’ll leave you to work our exactly which ones. Listen to the clapping and the praise, he is there to please.

    While Minns puts the boot in on all us Australians living in NSW, spitting out his theatre and narrative (very un-Australian of him), patting himself on the back for the brutal assaults on young and old of all cultures and religions by the NSW Police constabulary (militarised like ICE and IDF) in the CBD the previous night, the Sydney community licks its wounds. You’ve all seen ‘the punching bags’.

    Clearly he no longer represents the people of NSW in this comic-tragedy unfolding, he’s gone rogue. He’s living it up, Minns has his eyes on the emperor’s clothes – a modest start.

    This video link below is Michael West, and it is worth listening to the rest – with evidence that Herzog was also mentioned in the Epstein files, as a welcome visitor, and there must be others redacted. I wonder did he get the special treatment Minns and Albanese have given him, because the rest of us are really not impressed!

    Again I ask, is this mere puppetry and theatre to entertain his ego? I would like to hear what Albo our ‘gentle hound’ has to say.

    ‘So sweet the darkness of such melody,
    your heart’s desire; we bless you on your way’.

    for Minns in your illustrious triumphant moment and celebration with the Zionist Federation of Australia, you must have been so proud to represent us.

11. NSW POLICE BRUTALITY BROUGHT TO LIGHT – MINNS DECLARES WAR ON THE PEOPLE OF NSW TO PROTECT AND DEFEND THE GENOCIDE

    That poor woman. I won’t assume she was elderly but we all saw the footage from multiple angles and phones in the crowd how the police manhandled the elderly, the young and people from all cultures and religions – our multicultural society, that Albanese keeps banging on about. The young one pinned down prone and older guy in white shirt grabbed and repeatedly punched like punched bags by police out of control – elderly women grabbed and marched off the street, not escorted or protected, no respect, no dignity, no sense of public service, duty, safety or protection; just arrogant demeaning military punitive, vengeful thuggery, just like the book of Israel in Palestine (and once upon a time in Jericho?) –

    and the longer reel

    This is the canvas Minns has nailed up on the wall – a war on the general public, the people of NSW in the shadow of Albanese, Herzog, lesser known Maimon (ambassador of Israel) and the ZFA Zionist lobby – Quite literally ‘Israel in Australia’ the ambassador’s FB-website slogan with 31,000 followers –

    This is what we are up against. Minns posing with the three of them in front of the Israeli, Australian and Aboriginal NATIONAL flags, for the public limelight and spectacle. Since when did a State premier dictate Australia’s international foreign and national domestic policy! What do other premiers have to say or Federal Parliament for that matter, we know what Australians have said!

    And once again where are the mainstream media with their political analysis – The ABC and SBS dribbling the ball in the opposite net?

    We are shaking hands with Zion, the raw arms of Zionism and Minns is the puppet, the pretender usurping Albanese’s throne. This is rabid symbolism beyond his role as Premier flirting with, championing, worshipping the genociders, leading the way for Albanese.

    Time and time again the people of NSW have said no and the people in all capital cities of Australia have said no to Albanese.

    This is our stage and it pleases not the people…

    Ghosts of Albanese – Now tell me this couldn’t all be avoided, wasn’t entirely predictable given Minns’ record, threats and provocation; not to mention protecting and defending all those responsible, who lead and support the genocide in Gaza. Herzog, Head of State for Israel came not to grieve, nor in friendship but to seek revenge on the people of Australia who protested. And he was very vocal about it when he got here, he made no apology for his brutality, and neither has Minns.
