If you want to do your part to stop #Fascism in its tracks the follow Yanis Varoufakis’ advice and #ActLocally and not only shun any right-wing political party but abandon tthe two ‘majors’ as well. Importantly, do not feel you should have any loyalties to those parties, they no longer represent the majority of Australians as they drift further and further to the right. Importantly, so has the party which traditionally represented the workers of this nation. As Varoufakis said recently:

“The ALP has lost its soul. It will never find it again. Support the Greens. Create a new party. This is what we did in Greece.”

What stage of fascism is this?

"The case files show how officers repeatedly detained people under a reinterpretation of a 1996 law that states that anyone in the United States illegally “shall be detained” without bond, indefinitely, even when courts had ordered they be granted a bond hearing or set free. Most were quickly transferred to detention centers in Texas or Louisiana."

“Trump Has Been Anointed by Jesus” to Wage War on Iran: U.S. Commanders Accused of Promoting Holy War

U.S. military commanders have reportedly been invoking extremist Christian rhetoric to push war on Iran, selling the conflict to American troops as an existential “holy war” in apocalyptic language that experts fear could exacerbate the violence and death toll of military operations. Mikey Weinstein, founder and president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, attributes the rise in extremism at the Pentagon to U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who “has created a template that the only approved member of the U.S. military is to be straight, Christian, nationalist and male.” Weinstein warns that “whenever you attach an extremist aspect of any religious faith to that machinery responsible for war … we end up with one thing: oceans and oceans of blood.”

It was the first time in almost four years that the global oil benchmark, known as Brent, cost more than $100 a barrel. Oil is now around 50 percent more expensive than it was before the United States and Israel began attacking Iran on Feb. 28.

Trump’s hostility to his northern neighbor is not helping. In recent weeks, the president threatened to block the opening of the new Gordie Howe International Bridge between Windsor and Detroit. After Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney agreed to allow the importation of 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles, Trump suggested he would retaliate with 100 percent tariffs on Canadian goods.
