Pig Iron Bob and Australian Unions

Sun, 24 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0000

I found a Youtube video of Australian Communist Music , which lead me to learning about Robert “Pig Iron Menzies” Menzies and his fight with Australian Union Workers over the shipping of iron to Japan during World War II.

We wouldn’t load pig-iron for the fascists of Japan
Despite intimidation we refused to lift the ban
With democracy at stake the struggle must be won
We had to beat the menace of the fascist Rising Sun
Pig Iron Bob

Gough Whitlam, Australia's greatest Prime Minister

Thu, 21 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0000

I wanted to make a video purely honoring the life and achievements of Edward Gough Whitlam

I’m not one to hold a grudge but … Andrew Bolt isn’t etting away with an article he wrote a month a go.

Gough Whitlam was actually the best Prime Minster we’ve ever had.

And then The British-American coup ended Australian independence under Gough Whitlam

Thanks America and Britain

The Origins of Money, HipCrime Vocab

Fri, 10 Nov 2017 00:00:00 +0000

the HipCrime Vocab is a source of many in-depth essays analyzing power in our society, where it came from, how it is distributed, and the ways in which the systems enforce control.

What’s a hipCrime?
Well you committed one when you opened this blog. Keep it up, it’s our only hope!

The author just completed an insightful and dense series The Origins of Money , and at ten posts, I have to say I’m relieved that’s it come to an end :p
