But how rigged is the game and how tilted is the table? The first verse of Leonard Cohen’s song “Everybody Knows” sums up the game.
“Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows”
An easy google search retrieves that “A 12-year-old girl named BridgetAnn d’Avignon discovered that 42 of 43 U.S. presidents (up to George W. Bush) were related through a common ancestor, King John of England. Her 2012 science fair project traced their ancestry back to this single root”.

What’s the chance of that?
The chance of what?
The chance that every President of America, except one, up until George W Bush were all related is mathematically ambitious to say the least. Let’s not even look at how Barry Soetoro, better known as Barack Hussein Obama, became the 44th president even though to run for the president of the USA you have to have been born in the country, USA, America or the United States or whatever the legal jurisdiction is.
Barack Obama’s grandmother, who was reported to have confirmed that Barry (Barrack) was born in Mombasa, Kenya which was allegedly debunked, looks like it may have more legs rather than less legs. The Health Official Loretta Fuddy, who released Obamas birth certificate, which was challenged and shown to be fake only hours after its release, was the one who died in a plane crash which was videoed by a survivor who joking with others on the floating plane whilst she was deceased in the incident. Nothing to see here?
A review on FOX 10, “Obama’s Birth Certificate” sheds concerning light on rules being broken at the top end of town and questions the accuracy and validity of the “fact checkers”.

At best, voters don’t select they only get to elect representatives.
Joseph Stalin is accredited to have said, “it’s not who votes that counts, it’s who counts the votes (that matters). Of course, there were all of those (“false”) voting fraud allegations in America during the 2020 election, (remember USA is the corporation, not the country), being the same company, Dominion, that (allegedly) altered voting results in Venezuela for Hugo Chavez.
If members of the Elite, including Prime misters and ex-Prime ministers of countries, royalty and billionaires including the CEO of the WEF are not the people they purport to be and don’t tell the truth even after they get caught, could others who they rub shoulders with be tarred with the same brush?
But everyone who is not it the CLUB needs to choose their words very carefully when putting forth ideas either written or spoken. For example, Google Advises in posts that “In March 2026, Queensland passed laws criminalizing both the spoken and written use of the phrases “from the r1ver to the sea” … … “Those found guilty face maximum penalties of up to two years in prison”. I replaced the “i” in river with the numeral “1” so as not to be associated with the phrase politically because as Google advises “The phrase, … is at the centre of highly contested legislation globally, with its legal status depending entirely on the jurisdiction”, and one must be careful as “jurisdictions” change as do policies, or a governments “position” as the Prime Minister Albanese advised in early 2026 regarding taxation promises taken to the prior Federal election which were not kept. Who knows what phrases or terms will become indictable offences if murmured or worn on a T Shirt in public in the future.
Remember the calendars for next year are being printed now and they say it will be 1984.
One could not be blamed for thinking that the top end of town is “organised crime”, with well financed members operating and knowing that they are above the law.
When looking at the high cost of energy for Australian families, Independent Senator, David Pock had the question confirmed that more revenue is collected from beer (2025 to 2026 expecting 2.7 billion dollars) than from PRRT, Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (2025 to 2026 expecting 1.5 billion dollars).
Australian gas resources specifically is (allegedly) given away for free.
So, more money is collected from the average “punter” than from the international gas giants that export Australian resources overseas where they are sold for less than we pay in Australia.

“Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT) is calculated by applying a 40% tax rate to a project’s taxable profit, derived from assessable receipts minus deductible expenditures. It is calculated on a project basis (not company-wide) and is payable in three quarterly instalments with a final annual return”.
Konrad Benjamin, from “Punter’s Politics’”, has campaigned to have the gas giants who he says pay zero tax, pay just 26% tax which is less than the PRRT cost.
Too much to ask?
All he had to do to get to speak at a Senate Select Committee on Taxation of (Australian) Gas Resources was to raise $80 000, that’s eighty thousand dollars, to employ a lobbyist to facilitate the event.

Australia is the second largest gas producer and exporter in the world just behind Qatar and we make more out of taxing people drinking beer than we do from gas. Statistically we export 80% of the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) produced each year.
MSM sources advise that the Federal Minister for Resources, Madeleine King, has taken aim at those who claim gas giants are getting the commodity for free, saying she’s “mystified as to how they get away with such tosh“.
Tosh is an informal British and Scottish slang term that means nonsense, rubbish, or foolish talk.
So, what is the truth?
Who can you trust?
Who is honest?
