A fascinating development in Port Hedland, Western Australia.

A local council member, Adrian McRae, flew to Russia as an international observer in the recent Russian election.

McRae was profoundly impressed and on his return to Australia gave his honest opinion (shared by the 1000 plus other international observers) : that the Russian election was 100% transparent, professionally run and legitimate.

For this, McRae was immediately savaged across Australia by the elite media and political class, in yet another despicable display. McRae was also denigrated in TV interviews, defamed in regime media outlets, and even received death threats. The local Ukrainian lobby, disgusting as ever, was aggressively targeting the man.

Anyway, no doubt convinced that they could get rid of the only recently elected McRae, the local Council Members decided to get in on the action and had a 'Special Meeting' on 22 April to issue a vote of no confidence against him.

And then something amazing happened.

Citizen after citizen of Port Hedland got up at the meeting in SUPPORT of McRae. Their speeches were fascinating in that they demonstrated a very high level of awareness among ordinary Australians of the truth of what's happening in Ukraine and Russia.

McRae didn't just survive the no confidence motion. It was voted down by the embarrassed Council members 6-3.

What interests me about this episode is how it seems to prove how badly the elite anti-Russia propaganda machine is failing, at least in Australia. Before the meeting, the FakeNews outlets were spewing out survey after survey to argue that a vast majority of Australians (over 80%, apparently) were firmly against McRae and Russia.

Based on this outcome, those surveys are all BS. They are LYING.

If the propaganda narrative isn't cutting through in Port Hedland, it's a fair bet it isn't making headway anywhere else in Australia.

I think this story deserves a lot more attention than it is getting, and hope that the Duran consides interviewing Mr. McRae about the entire episode.

I don't know how to get this to the attention of Alexander and Alex, but if someone out there does it would be great.

Just another case of how "international humanitarian law" is only applied to those that the west deems its enemies.

There are some who say we must stop Iran from having a nuclear weapon. First of all that’s colonialist thinking at its clearest. The people in the west get to decide WHO has the bomb?

The Middle East is too volatile for a country there to have a nuclear weapon, is what we’re told.
However the same people are not holding the country in the Middle East that shall not be named, accountable for THEIR possession of nuclear weapons and the threat of their intended use on their neighbors.

The rumor that cannot be completely substantiated, for obvious reasons, about President Trump aggressively arguing with General Caine about using the nuclear codes on Iran ONLY validates the Iranians who believe they need nuclear weapons.

The argument that…they have proven they can fight conventionally and win, is not valid. They fought conventionally because that’s what they had. What they proved is that they were more clever than their opponents.

U.S. Military veterans are occupying the Cannon building in the nation’s Capitol to protest the US’s war on Iran and Israel’s genocide on Gaza.

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
