A word or two (quoted from Prof. Richard Murphy) on the nonsense of increasing the official #CashRate to stymie anticipated #inflation stemming from external uncontrolled events. Here, the European Central Bank is the guilty party but it holds true for all Central Banks.
“This [ECB] move is meant to control inflation arising as a consequence of the war between the USA and Iran, as well as food shortages arising from that same war and drought. No one is suggesting there is excess demand in the Eurozone. However, inflation arising from excess demand, a phenomenon not seen in many economies for decades because so many people are having so many problems in making ends meet, is the only type of inflation that an interest rate rise can address.”
Not only do we know all of this, but so do the #CentralBanks (they’re not stupid).
“[…] increasing interest rates at this moment might be described as an act of economic illiteracy. It might also be described as class warfare based on economic aggression, because its purpose is, in reality, to deter those on wage income from seeking pay increases to maintain their economic positions, while those who profit from the price increases are left to enjoy their newfound and unearned riches.”
Economic illiteracy or calculated monetary intervention to maintain unemployment and shift more wealth into the pockets of those least in need? #Bankers are not stupid. They know. The #Oligarchs creates a #war and we all pay for it while they reap insane #profits from it. And the Bankers think: ‘Why not let them moke more profits through #GreedFlation?’ We’re all screwed on this path… time for a real change, for a change.

"The court process was the weapon, and the target was wider than one journalist."
https://michaelwest.com.au/mary-kostakidis-stared-down-the-zionist-lobby-and-courage-won/This is not justice. Cassuto should be declared a vexatious litigant. He should be ordered to pay Mary's costs. He should be penalised a seven-figure sum.

Good to see the Zevil lawfare machine has backed out of its vexatious suit against journalist Mary Kostakidis, who writes “The purpose of journalism is to get to the truth, fearlessly, and to hold power to account." https://michaelwest.com.au/mary-kostakidis-stared-down-the-zionist-lobby-and-courage-won/ #ZionismIsWhiteSupremacy #IsraelFascism #auspol #Gaza

Why do politicians lie about #trade and #immigration ?
Foreigners don't vote in that politician's elections so it's easy to appear like you're doing something to fix the issue.

After a 2 year legal battle to punish a prominent #Australian #journalist for her public #criticism of #IsraelsGenocide in #Gaza, the #ZionistFederationOfAustralia withdrew its case on Thursday.
“This is a win for every Australian who values our democratic right to freedom of political expression,” #Kostakidis said.
She said: “The purpose of #journalism is to get to the truth – fearlessly – and to hold power to account. This is a win for press freedom, which has prevailed.” #auspol #Gaza

Mood: Fractious & cynical. Left angry at Labor's timidity & corporate capture; right claims censorship. Resignation that major parties fear One Nation despite its dysfunction. Few optimists here. https://politicalgadgets.com/SocialMedia/mast_pulse/ #auspol 3/3
