The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age: Trump’s MAGA Mindset: The US’s Biggest Export

Jun 4, 2025 | Most of us have, for so long, lived under the shadow of American exports, that we’d be hard-pressed to choose which was the most influential. Hollywood rom-coms? Coupons? Halloween?

That list might have been relevant a couple of weeks ago. Now America’s biggest export is Donald Trump’s MAGA mindset, according to international and political editor, Peter Hartcher.

Today, he joins me to discuss Trump’s hidden announcement last week about a new level of imminent American interference, globally; one not seen since the end of the Cold War. And how it will change other countries for years to come.


Europe should be standing up to Trump and Putin – instead it is mirroring them: Public opinion is clamouring for closer EU cooperation. The last thing we need is Ursula von der Leyen pandering to the far right Donald Trump’s “America First” policies are undermining decades of transatlantic cooperation just as Putin’s Russia destabilises Europe with direct military aggression. But these twin shocks have unintentionally accomplished something the EU institutions never could. They have made European integration feel not just important, but existential – a matter of democratic survival – for ordinary citizens. »

From Mudlarking to the German Occupation of Guernsey during WW2 as Told by the People Who Were There

Feb 13, 2022 | What was it like working for the Guernsey Secret Underground Press during the German occupation of WW2? What was it like as a child to steal potatoes from the Germans? What about the slave labourers building the fortifications?

In 2021 I had the opportunity to speak to 5 people who told me their stories. One of these people was Magda Royall, the daughter of Jerzy Mroch - a slave labourer, who fell in love with a Guernsey woman. Molly Bihet was 9 years old when the war started and she told me how life became increasingly difficult as time went on, with severe food shortages. Mary has gone on to write four books and you can find these at her website: The Channel Islands Occupation Society »

Mary Sim's parents worked for GASP - the Guernsey Secret Underground Press. Mary belongs to the Occupation Society and would love to hear from anyone if they have any stories relating to the Occupation or GASP.

Argentina's Milei to Declassify Documents on Nazi War Criminals Who Fled to Argentina | DW News

March 27, 2025 | Argentina's President Javier Milei says he is declassifying government documents on how Nazi war criminals escaped Europe and resettled in South America following World War Two. Historians believe as many as 5,000 Nazis evaded arrest in Argentina – sometimes with the help of the authorities.

The most prominent of them was Adolf Eichmann. Eichmann was one of the architects of the Holocaust and escaped to Argentina using false papers. Israeli agents captured him in Buenos Aires and took him to Jerusalem to stand trial. He found guilty and sentenced to death.

Michael Lambert: What Is Trump Planning?

June 14, 2025 | Under the leadership of Donald Trump, the United States is in chaos. His tariffs have badly damaged the economy and countries are not queueing up to do trade deals with the United States.

The random and ruthless deportation of 'undocumented' immigrants, many of whom have been working in the USA and paying taxes for many years, has been cruel.

Last week, a US congressman from California, Alex Padilla, was thrown to the ground and handcuffed for asking a question of Kirsti Noem, the head of Homeland Security.

Cuts to welfare, Medicare, and Medicaid in order to give tax breaks to already very rich Americans is unfair.

On June 14th, nationwide demonstrations against the Trump government are to be held in 1800 locations throughout the US.

Trumps only option may be to impose Martial Law as public anger increases. It is important that all demonstrations must remain peaceful, no matter if there is provocation. Senators and members of Congress may well be persuaded to reconsider their allegiance to Trump
