NEWS WEAKLY – EPISODE 154

“Consistency of Hypocrisy” – 19 April, 2025


TOP OPINION OF THE WEEK:

Guantanamo never closed, the rules-based order never applied, and now the cruelty once exported is finally coming home.

Also:

  • Australians detained and deported from the US despite valid visas
  • Transgender travellers profiled and imprisoned in Villawood
  • Peter Dutton wants to cancel your citizenship
  • And Trump’s latest plan? Outsourcing US citizens to El Salvadoran prisons!

From offshore detention to ICE raids, from CIA coups to the maskless face of empire, this week we look at what happens when systems built for them start turning on us—and why moral consistency, not just outrage, is what really matters.


QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

“If you only care when it’s you, that’s not morality. That’s narcissism with an accent.”
