Summed up nicely : Those who call themselves liberals or tendentiously "the left" are eager participants in this manipulation, and its brainwashing, which today revert to one name: Trump. Trump is mad, a fascist, a dupe of Russia. He is also a gift for "liberal brains pickled in the formaldehyde of identity politics", wrote Luciana Bohne memorably. The obsession with Trump the man - not Trump as a symptom and caricature of an enduring system - beckons great danger for all of us. While they pursue their fossilised anti-Russia agendas, narcissistic media such as the Washington Post, the BBC and the Guardian suppress the essence of the most important political story of our time as they warmonger on a scale I cannot remember in my lifetime. On 3 August, in contrast to the acreage the Guardian has given to drivel that the Russians conspired with Trump (reminiscent of the far-right smearing of John Kennedy as a "Soviet agent"), the paper buried, on page 16, news that the President of the United States was forced to sign a Congressional bill declaring economic war on Russia. Unlike every other Trump signing, this was conducted in virtual secrecy and attached with a caveat from Trump himself that it was "clearly unconstitutional". A coup against the man in the White House is under way. This is not because he is an odious human being, but because he has consistently made clear he does not want war with Russia.

I think the haunting film "On the Beach" is an under-rated. With most of the planet apparently already dead, Australia tracks huge clouds of fallout headed their way and issues painless "suicide tablets" or injections to each of their citizens if they prefer not to die of radiation poisoning. In Melbourne where the film is set, increasing numbers of people indulge their various life-long dreams, like racing their cars at Melbourne's famous Sandown Motor Speedway resulting in many fiery crashes or racing along the Great Ocean Road. After racing Fred Astaire can't bear to damage his 1955 Ferrari 750 Monza Spider, so closes the garage door, guns the engine and succumbs to carbon monoxide. The film is a time capsule of 1950s Melbourne, although curiously many Sydney-siders apparently decide to abandon their cars on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. 1950s Melbourne Ava Gardener heads toward toward Melbourne Main Train Station, now a museum Many Sydney residents inexplicably abandoned their cars on the Harbour Bridge Fred Astaire off-track racing his 1955 Ferrari 750 Monza Spider Gregory Peck's submarine crewman Lt.
