Over the past 18 months, it has become harder and harder to speak publicly in this country if you are Muslim, brown, and pro-Palestinian.

For people like me, who not only want to speak up, but need to, it has been a time marked by isolation, scrutiny and risk. Risk to our reputations. Risk to our livelihoods. And risk to our place in a country that insists on calling itself democratic, while punishing those who dare name a genocide for what it is.

The cost of conscience in post-October 7 Australia

 

Israel’s military operation against Hamas is a “proxy war” being waged on behalf of the UK, Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has claimed in an interview with Sky News.

Badenoch made the remarks on Sunday, commenting on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent statement that the UK, France, and Canada are on “the wrong side of humanity” for trying to pressure his country to end its campaign in the Palestinian enclave.

The Tory leader dismissed accusations that Israel’s actions in Gaza amount to genocide, arguing that it is justified in its fight against Hamas, and that the conflict also serves the interests of the UK.

”Who funds Hamas? Iran – an enemy of this country. Israel is fighting a proxy war on behalf of the UK,” Badenoch said.

During an appearance on FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino discussed the details surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s death.

According to Bongino, Epstein committed suicide.

“You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide,” host Maria Bartiromo said. “People don’t believe it.”

“Well, I mean, listen, they have a right to their opinion, but, as someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor, who’s been in that prison system, who’s been in the Metropolitan Detention Center, who’s been in segregated housing, you know a suicide when you see one, and that’s what that was,” FBI Director Kash Patel said.

Bongino added, “He killed himself. Again, you want me to — I have seen the whole file. He killed himself.”

US President Donald Trump has claimed that Moscow targeted Ukraine “for no reason whatsoever,” after Russia launched a series of missile strikes against military targets in Kiev and other locations – following a week of constant Ukrainian drone raids involving hundreds of UAVs.

Men and women of Australia,

Just 17 months ago, I stood here, and from this place and from this city I asked you to choose for Australia a new team, a new program, a new drive for equality of opportunities. You gave us a clear mandate to go ahead with our program for the next three years. For 17 months we have driven ourselves to carry out your mandate, to carry out the program I placed before you. Now the government you elected for three years has been interrupted in mid-career.

Our program has been brought to a halt in mid-stream.

The Australian parliamentary Education Office tells us:

Democracy means rule by the people. The word comes from the ancient Greek words ‘demos’ (the people) and ‘kratos’ (to rule). A democratic country has a system of government where people have the power to participate in decision-making.

Each democracy is unique and works in different ways. In some, people help make decisions directly by voting on laws and policy proposals. This is called direct democracy. In others, like Australia, citizens choose representatives to make decisions on their behalf. This is known as representative democracy.

In a farcical yet telling blunder, multiple major newspapers, including the Chicago Sun-Times and Philadelphia Inquirer, recently published a summer-reading list riddled with nonexistent books that were “hallucinated” by ChatGPT, with many of them falsely attributed to real authors.

While Paul Kelly has written wisely about Donald Trump, many of his Murdoch colleagues appear discombobulated by the real estate developer’s return to the US presidency. Who can blame them? They’re not alone.

Greg Sheridan piles on the Murdoch delusions

 

As a conservative, if a wildly radical one, Trump might reasonably expect a fair welcome at News Corp, the awkwardness of his amorality, selfishness, cruelty and incompetence notwithstanding. Yet, it’s unlikely Trump has ever been a comfortable bed-fellow for anyone and in the Murdoch chambers he appears to be causing delusions in some of its denizens.

Employees at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) walked out as their new boss, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, spoke this week on truths that remain to be sought out about Covid-19. As a lead on the October 2020 Great Barrington Declaration that sought to shift sweeping societal shutdowns to “focused protection” on the vulnerable, Bhattacharya is no newcomer to speaking the truth about Covid or being vilified for doing so. Fortunately, an unheralded investigation by the Department of Justice of an obscure nonprofit company has the potential to reveal five years of hidden truths.

As climate change (aka GLOBAL WARMING) is showing up on the planet, the AMERICAN military is preparing to fight (or CREATE) the NEXT catastrophe. 

The latest indications of the CLIMATE having gone slightly bonkers start with THE MASSIVE FLOODS in New South Wales…

 

As towns flood on one end of Australia, large areas further south are experiencing their worst drought on record. The people in these regions are preparing for life in a future climate.

At first glance on Friday, when the far-left propaganda aggregator Drudge Report posted the words “Dementia Watch” in screaming red letters, readers may have thought it was finally talking about former President Bumbling Joe Biden. But no. Drudge has turned its “concern” to President Donald Trump, showcasing three headlines to make the case that Trump, perhaps the sharpest president in modern times, is actually losing his marbles.

They wish.   

Across Australia, around the globe, millions of people have been outraged by Israeli slaughter in Gaza and on the West Bank, their outrage compounded by despair that Israel has been given a blank cheque to ignore international law, to do what it likes.

Millions want intervention to stop Israeli slaughter of Palestinians

 

People are asking, “How does this happen?”, “Why is the UN impotent?”, “Why are so called civilised states frightened to act?”

An answer to the last question includes an international relations history of perceiving Israel as exceptional, as being above the law.

PRESENTLY, EVIDENCE OF THE BIDEN COVER UP ARE MOUNTING LIKE A DOZEN HIMALAYAS OF SECRET DOCUMENTS IN THE CORVETTE GARAGE.... EVEN JAKE TAPPER WHO WAS BLIND TO THE OBVIOUS FOR SO LONG NOW HAS A BOOK TO SELL WITH "REVELATIONS" (OH SHOCKING !) THAT JOE WAS NOT "THE PRESIDENT"...

I think Israel will find some way to launch an attack on Iran and then all bets are off, says Col Douglas Macgregor. The next 60-90 days could put an end to US imperial ambitions...
