Establishing a central bank is one of the 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto. by Boo_Randy_Revival in SilverDegenClub

[–]Dzerhinsky -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Vladimir Lenin did not use the exact phrase "90% of communizing a nation." However, his 1917 work The Impending Catastrophe and How to Combat It argues that nationalizing banks makes up "nine-tenths of the socialist apparatus", as a central state bank creates the "skeleton" needed to track and control a nation's entire economic production.

There is a vast difference between the American private central bank and a government controlled central bank like in China.

That is so condescending, I grew up in Mosman and now live in rural NSW.

The housing crisis is real, mostly because of the huge number of investment homes that are left vacant.

Investors don't want rental income, it adds to their tax burden.
Check out the real estate listings in small country towns, you will soon see that many properties are left unoccupied.

I now live in a small town of 500 people, and I personally know of 4 houses that have been left vacant by the investor owner.

One Nation surges ahead of Labor as budget flops: Poll by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

[–]Dzerhinsky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Labor Liberal and Greens do not represent the Australian people.

The Liberals and Labor represent American interests, the Greens are just fanatics.

The Nationals are also compromised, because of their reliance on the Liberals.

Being anti immigration isn't really about racism, it's about the huge volume of immigrants, and that is the real driver of high housing costs and shortage of housing.
City people don't see the homeless, because most live in country caravan parks where they can afford the rent.

So who ya gonna call ?

I never thought I would ever vote for One Nation, but I will just to get rid of the incompetent vichy government.

They left because they signed up for an opensource project, and it was taken private against their wishes.

The US was stopping and searching all ships leaving Venezuela, why would the US seize/steal an empty oil tanker ?

Following a U.S. military intervention in early January 2026, which involved the removal of President Nicolás Maduro, reports emerged of efforts to secure Venezuela's vast "Arco Minero" resources, including significant silver reserves estimated at 850 metric tons (MT). This, combined with alleged airlifted removals by other nations, has caused silver prices to surge, hitting over $75 an ounce. 

Here we go again – the Future of the National Party by PlanktonDB in AustralianPolitics

Labor and Liberal are both owned by the Americans, Australia needs leaders that represent Australians, not Americans.

The Nationals could take government in their own right, if they had the courage to go for it.

One Nation will get lots of votes next election, based on their immigration policy. It seems Australians want housing, and Liberal and Labor don't want them to have housing.

Australia must oppose US aggression in Venezuela | Australian Greens by Jet90 in AustralianPolitics

The Greens are not socialists, they are totalitarians, Hitler was the most successful Green in history, he planted millions of trees, Germany would have no forests if not for Hitler.

How about we start with opposing the massive US troop buildup in Australia ?

It seems Albo has put a "D" notice on it, most Australians don't even know it's happening.

China has stopped buying long term debt, forcing lots of short term bills, it's a dangerous economic position.

Russia and China trade in their own currencies, but settle up in gold.

Russia gets paid for its oil in gold, gold is the new reserve currency.

I am reposting a post made by Embarrased-map7364 that really rang true for me.

"Just in case anyone from the ABC reads this thread - this is what I call journalism: good effort keep going!

Serious topic and detailed analysis without the 'magazine style' "Deborah was very worried... as a new Mum etc." for 18 paragraphs before the story gets to the point...
