Sunday, September 8th - Sunday Talk Shows that distracts from any other available topic.

And last, but, never least...
Wednesday, September 11th - Appearances at memorials to bring about that final sense of nationalism and respect for soldiers.
Well done, propagandists, well done! Why Psyops could not do better.
Unsettling to the USA War Machine is the newly elected Senate in Australia. It would appear there is no new majority to pull strings for the military contractors.
With that new reality, can Australia now be considered a threat to USA national security?
What a shame and the USA just focused so intensely on the Pacific.

....They include Wayne Dropulich, (click here) a gridiron-playing engineer who is likely to win election as a senator from Western Australia. His Australian Sports Party has no policies other than advocating lots of sport, and won just 0.22 per cent of the vote. But with preferences from other small parties, he is likely to get a Senate quota ahead of the second Labor candidate, who had 12.33 per cent.
In Victoria, Ricky Muir is set to win the final seat. He stood for the Australian Motoring Enthusiasts Party, which appears to have no policies apart from representing what it sees as motorists' interests. He won 0.53 per cent, but with a swag of preferences, he appears set to unseat Liberal senator Helen Kroger, who had 10.52 per cent....
Poor Rupert Murdoch, he is probably regretting the day he left Austria for the USA. His "Australian" got a conservative elected Prime Minister, but, he has no affection for war. I suppose it is reassuring at some level the USA can still make unilateral attacks into other sovereign nations and consider old allies a bother.
