Who is the rogue state?

Who is the rogue state?

It is clear that the rogue states of the world are not the ones we have been told about for decades.

Instead, they are the ones we have been told to celebrate as a bastion of success.

A state that live-streams executions.

A state where state-sanctioned masked men terrorise citizens on the streets.

A state that bullies their ‘allies’.

And has more people incarcerated than any other state in the world. (Per capita, the USA ranks 4th globally behind countries like El Salvador, Cuba, and Turkmenistan.)

Does extrajudicial killings at will and is not held to account.

And kidnaps presidents of another country in the middle of the night.

Where the leaders are so corrupt, their coffers so overflowing with the profits from their corruption, sucking, like a giant vacuum cleaner, from everyone else.

The media owned by the elite. The propaganda machines armed to divide and keep divided to distract from the theft happening in plain sight.

And yet my government is so captured by this state, for reasons I am not aware of, that in their cowardice, as the rogue state decides that they will boycott the ICC because they do not like that a lead justice, who determined, as the Chair of the UN Independent Commission of Inquiry, that Israel is indeed responsible for genocide, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, does not join many of our allies in publicly declaring to stand with the ICC.

On that topic, silence. And silence is complicity. Indeed, our government has not publicly congratulated Navi Pillay, in contrast to our foreign ministers’ praise of last year’s winner, María Corina Machado.

Easier it is for the Australian government to join nations against Iran, based on a questionable attack on an airbase in Britain. Iran is far from perfect, but it has not been the state that has relentlessly bombed and terrorised. No. That would be the USA and Israel.

Syntropic World and my work stand for justice for all. No cherry-picking. I stand for enterprises and institutions that seek to be incorruptible. Leaders who treat people, with all their glorious diversity, with dignity and respect. And refuse to sanction a legal system that privileges the elite while punishing everyone else.

Integrity is a daily, choice-by-choice act.

My government does not represent me. And the narrative of the United States as the leader of the free world is demolished completely.

Who are the terrorists? It is a legitimate question.
