Publishing journalism in not a crime. Every journalist should be alert & alarmed - as the publisher #WikiLeaks’ editor #Assange is now charged for working to publish military secrets of war crimes & civilian deaths. So will editors of ABC, Guardian, Age, SMH, NYT, etc now follow?
I find no satisfaction in saying ‘I told you so’ to those who for 9 years have scorned us for warning this moment would come. I care for journalism. If you share my feeling you take a stand NOW. Either you are a worthless coward or you defend Assange, WikiLeaks and Journalism.

This poses the question: Has this level of electoral interference through a similar Influence Operation been conducted here too?
Elections in France, Scotland, USA, Angola, and Togo targeted for influence and dirty tricks by Israel government-aligned firm.

“We live in a system where if you fight so that they don't kill any more children, you're a "terrorist" — while those who drop the bombs on those children are applauded.”
En Reino Unido, los jueces sionistas condenaron a más de 25 años de prisión a 4 activistas de Palestine Action, por luchar contra el genocidio en Gaza y lograr boicotear las fábricas de drones Elbit de "Israel". Vivimos en un sistema donde si luchas para que no maten más niños eres un "terrorista"... mientras los que ponen las bombas a esos niños son ovacionados en la Casa Blanca.

“Israel is the big nuclear threat in the Middle East — Israel's military is on the ropes.”
🚨Prof. Theodore Postol: 'ISRAEL is the big NUCLEAR THREAT in the Middle East, Israel's military is ON THE ROPES.' 'You have a leadership in Israel that is willing to push their country into a situation where their own military leadership is telling Netanyahu we are on the ropes. We cannot do any more. We are at the limit of what we can do. We’re losing soldiers at a high rate. We’re a small country. We cannot sustain taking these territories. They have to hold these territories too, because you’re dealing with hostile populations. They shouldn’t have been there. They shouldn’t have been put there by their leadership. That was Netanyahu’s fault. And the military didn’t stand up to him. So it’s in some sense their responsibility as well. But Israel is on the line. And now, if things escalate, which I’m afraid they’re likely to do, the survival of Israel could eventually come into question. And the amount of damage that the Iranians are in a position to do to Israel is enormous. The capabilities of their ballistic missiles are extraordinarily greater than what we initially saw, even in the June 2025 war. I was estimating, based on data I had collected, that the Iranians could do significant but modest damage to Tel Aviv if the war escalated. Well, I was wrong, because there was a whole generation of newer, more capable missiles that are impossible, I want to underscore, impossible to intercept. They are not close to being subject to interception, and they have bigger warheads that are more destructive. And Iran has large numbers of them, and they’re more accurate, which means that they can focus them on doing more heavy damage on targets that are more valuable to the Israelis. Then there are the drones. And the air defences have been foolishly used against ballistic missiles. The air defences have almost no capability against ballistic missiles.’ —Former US Chief of Naval Operations Adviser at the Pentagon, Prof. Theodore Postol Watch the full interview in the quoted post below👇

Senator Jordon Steele-John is such a valuable member of the Australian parliament — not only for disability matters but foreign affairs as well. The phalanx of comfortably well-paid able-bodied public servants are seen here flummoxed in being unable to correctly explain their our policy area. Shameful.
Watching Senator Jordon Steele-John intermittently raging at and patiently schooling a row of NDIA and Health bureaucrats and TEARING them a new one is perhaps the best thing I have ever watched. If you want to see a bunch of suits squirming on a hook at questions at a public hearing about the most ridiculous decision a government has ever made, it’s here. Good Lord. And these are the people running this thing. They don’t even know how the NDIS runs, let alone disabled people’s lives. linkedin.com/posts/dr-george…

We took Erin Brockovich's map of every data center in America. Then we laid the nation's aquifers on top of it. We noticed they're not building data centers where the land is cheap. They're building them where the water is. Farmers near these facilities say their livestock have stopped falling pregnant. Residents say the humming never stops. And the projects arrive under NDAs, so most towns don't know until the ground is already broken. The question isn’t where they’re building anymore. It’s why they’re building where they’re building. Tonight, we think we can answer that question. We’ve been covering the data center issue in great detail on this broadcast, and for good reason. It’s a serious problem in America and worldwide, and it’s one that is uniting people from all sides of the political aisle because, guess what, whether you are a conservative or a liberal, you have human rights that enable you to have access to basic survival needs like water, which was given to us by God, not by the state or Big Tech, by the way. Erin Brockovich joined the data center fight recently. She launched a site including a map that shows data centers either completed, under construction, planned, or community reported, likely due to all those pesky NDAs in place stopping us from knowing they’re coming to our area. But the public isn’t stupid. So Maria thought she’d do something a little bit different. She created a series of maps using Erin Brockovich’s data center data, then superimposed aquifer maps onto those maps, then superimposed smart city locations onto those maps. What Maria found was pretty mind-blowing and, she says, lends credence to her theory that those in charge are purposely making rural areas unlivable for the purpose of pushing people into smart cities, where they will be under constant surveillance and on a short leash.

This isn’t some post-apocalyptic movie scene. This is what Israel is doing to Tyre in South Lebanon. One of humanity’s oldest cities is being wiped off the map. And US tax dollars are paying for it.

Elections in France, Scotland, USA, Angola, and Togo targeted for influence and dirty tricks by Israel government-aligned firm.
🚨 This is WAY BIGGER than it looks. Let me break down exactly what just happened. France’s government disinformation agency Viginum, and the Prime Minister himself just confirmed that Israeli cyber firm BlackCore ran coordinated election interference operations across five sovereign nations simultaneously. The targets were not random. France’s pro-Palestine left-wing mayoral candidates in Marseille, Toulouse and Roubaix were smeared with AI bots and fake accounts DAYS before votes were counted. Scotland’s First Minister, who called Gaza a genocide on the world stage was also targeted. They even infiltrated New York City’s 2025 municipal elections. Angola and Togo got the same treatment. They are not just bombing Gaza. They are running covert operations to destroy the political careers of anyone in the Western world who dares say the word genocide out loud. BlackCore described itself as an “elite influence and information warfare company.” The moment Reuters called them, they wiped every trace of themselves from the internet. Let that sink in for a moment. This is exactly what we are told Russia is doing. Yet you would never get called “Russophobic” for calling that out. Would you? Israel is not defending their “country.” They are dismantling ours. And don’t get me started on the hate and destabilisation ops they run. All with OUR tax money, btw. x.com/DropSiteNews/status/20…

‘Antisemetism’ is another control mechanism by the architects of the slaughter and destruction, to silence mention of their crimes.
"We are the only people in history who are expected to witness our own genocide,and then watch what we say so we don't hurt the feelings of the people who did this" (Susan Abulhawa, Palestinian/US scientist and writer)

Say something critical about Israel and you’re likely to get fired, or sued, and have an endless smear campaign aimed at you by the Murdoch hate factory. Say some anti-Palestinian nonsense and no matter how stupid, you get a nice long puff profile.

🇨🇫 🇦🇪 Dubai has become the main destination for conflict gold and diamonds from the Central African Republic, placing the UAE at the center of a trade that enriches armed groups and smuggling networks, according to a Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime report reported by Semafor. Almost all of CAR’s officially declared gold exports since 2023 have gone to the UAE. The report names Russia’s Africa Corps, the mercenary network formerly known as Wagner, which has propped up President Faustin-Archange Touadéra since 2018, as a major beneficiary, with illicit gold worth an estimated $180 million a year. The case is very similar in Sudan, where the UAE has become the dominant buyer of gold financing both sides of the proxy war. Data from Sudan’s central bank show the UAE took about 90% of the country’s official gold exports in the first half of 2025. Researchers say much of it is smuggled through Chad, Libya, and CAR from areas held by the Rapid Support Forces, whose gold earnings, routed largely through the UAE, have helped bankroll its genocidal war effort. Sudan has filed a case at the International Court of Justice accusing the UAE of complicity in genocide by the RSF in Darfur. 🎥 Democracy Now spoke with NYT’s correspondent in January 2025 about the genocide finding by the US government and how UAE continues to exploit Sudan’s gold.

Despite earlier denials, it has been revealed that Australian submariners were playing a part in the sneak US submarine attack — that sank the Iranian ship killing more than 80 young Iranian sailors on a goodwill voyage to India.
The bunkum about our submariners staying in their cabins on the US submarine during the sinking of the Iranian ship, came from a senior ASPI ‘expert’ on ABC Radio. ▪️No-one in government or in the Navy moved to correct this lie. ▪️Now it emerges the Australian submariners were on-station and on-duty — attending to ‘damage control’ during the attack. ▪️Despite earlier denials, the Australian submariners were playing a part in the submarine attack that sank the Iranian ship killing more than 80 young Iranian sailors. ▪️👇. And it was hidden from the public — until today. Thanks due to @DavidShoebridge in Senate Estimates.
