They didn’t need guns, tanks, or barricades. The revolution came silently.... through legislation, compliance, and fear.
While the people slept, their governments seized power by stealth.
Under the guise of safety and security, they rewrote the rules, turning citizens into subjects.
Now, with digital IDs, speech regulations, and financial controls tightening the noose, many still don’t see it.
The coup is complete - and most never even knew it happened. This is a Revolution in Reverse..... overthrow of the people by the government....

By Rodererick Whiskers McNibble, Chief Investigative Reporter – Ratty News
In a week of shocking revelations, Ratty News has been tracking two monumental events: Flooding in Western Queensland Australia and the mass pile-on against Tesla vehicles.
However, we have chosen to feature our exclusive scoop with Big Gum, the Head Tooth Fairy of the entire world ........and Elon Musk, Major Domo of Miracles, Marvels, Molars and current world record holder of frequent flyer points.
As Teslas, once the darlings of the eco-conscious left - are now being torched, scratched, and defaced by their former fanbase, Ratty News sees a curious connection: the Tooth Fairy Syndicate’s growing interest in colonising Mars with the help of SpaceX and the increasing interest in cryptocurrency.
Intrigued? Read our explosive article and learn more about Mars, Molars and Musk....

At first glance, trees seem the epitome of urban charm, offering shade on sweltering summer days, filtering pollutants from the air, and softening the cityscape with their leafy grace. However, in growing numbers, urban trees are becoming unexpected hazards, turning from benevolent beings into botanical menaces.
As urban areas expand, trees often grow in less-than-ideal conditions - shallow soil, cramped spaces, and weakened root systems. A sudden storm or even a mild gust of wind can send massive branches crashing down, smashing cars, damaging property, and endangering pedestrians. In some tragic cases, entire trees uproot and collapse, causing fatalities.
Enjoy this article from renowned scientist and pastoralist, Viv Forbes. Monty

When our leaders and politicians sign us up to these global accords, declarations and agreements, do they realise what the consequences will be?
Decades on, their moment in the sun and on the front page can have far reaching consequences.
One little known, but very impactive decision is now showing us just how damaging these signatures can be.
50 years ago, Australia signed up to the Lima Declaration.

In the 1950s, thalidomide was hailed as a medical breakthrough - a safe sedative that could ease morning sickness for pregnant women. Yet, within a few short years, it became a symbol of pharmaceutical negligence, leaving thousands of children with devastating birth defects.
The tragedy was meant to serve as a permanent warning about the dangers of inadequate testing and rushed approvals. However, as the world witnessed the rapid rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, many questioned whether governments and pharmaceutical companies had forgotten the hard-earned lessons of thalidomide. Have we once again placed speed above safety, risking consequences that may take years to fully reveal?
Thalidomide has a chequered past that began with a Nazi War Criminal. Sometimes, history is our best teacher. Perhaps that is why the left want to stop it being taught? So let's dive into the story of one of the worst disasters in pharmaceutical history.

For as long as humans have walked the earth, the issue of abortion has existed in the shadows and in the spotlight.
Following the overturning of Roe v Wade on 24th of June 2022, it is interesting to reflect on the history of abortion law through history.
There are basically two systems of law in the world, the common law and civil law.
The common law arose in England following the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. It was so known because it was “common" to the King's courts and was based upon the precedence of previous judicial decisions, known as the Latin doctrine of“stare decisis"(to stand by that which is decided).

Throughout history, political leaders have risen to power with grand promises of reform, stability, and prosperity, only to see their legacies stained, or entirely destroyed, by scandal. Whether it be the president of a global superpower or the premier of a regional state, corruption, deceit, or ethical lapses can swiftly dismantle their public trust and overshadow any achievements.
Two glaring examples are U.S. President Warren G. Harding, whose administration was marred by the Teapot Dome scandal, and Queensland’s long-serving Premier Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen, whose grip on power was eventually eroded by accusations of corruption and political skullduggery. Both cases demonstrate how scandal doesn’t just impact the individual...it can taint entire administrations and corrode public faith in government.

High above the rolling hills, with the sunset painting the sky in strokes of gold and lavender, a wing-weary Tooth Fairy reclines atop the bright orange biplane of Ratty Airways, her tattered but shimmering wings folded neatly behind her.
With a sigh of relief, she stretches out on the canvas wing, letting the gentle breeze soothe her tired limbs. Below, the dashing rat pilot, dressed in a leather helmet and scarf, grips the controls with practiced paws, his whiskers twitching with determination. Tonight’s mission is clear: get the exhausted fairy back to base before dawn, where a mug of stardust tea and a well-earned rest await.
But for now, she closes her eyes and lets the cool night air carry away the fatigue of a thousand pillow infiltrations.

In today’s world, where chaos and uncertainty often feel like an endless storm, we find ourselves searching for something that can guide us through the tempest.
A lighthouse, standing firm against crashing waves and fierce winds, offers more than just a beacon of light; it symbolises our yearning for direction and hope.
An umbrella might shield us from the rain, but without a lighthouse, it is a fragile tool in a vast, uncharted sea. Just as we need the solid a lighthouse to guide us safely to shore, we also need the sense of purpose and clarity to navigate the crazy madness of our modern lives. In this stormy world, a lighthouse is more than a structure; it is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, a guiding light can lead us home.
To safety.

History remembers certain individuals not just for their deeds but for the courage that defined them in the face of adversity. Grace Darling and Grace Bussell, separated by oceans and decades, became legends in their own right for acts of extraordinary bravery at sea.
In 1838, off the stormy coast of England, young Grace Darling risked her life to save stranded survivors of a shipwreck, defying the raging waves in a tiny rowing boat. Half a world away, in 1876, Australian teenager Grace Bussell rode her horse through crashing surf to help rescue dozens from a sinking ship off the Western Australian coast. Both women defied danger, social expectations, and the limitations of their time to become symbols of heroism.
