It feels so much safer in a country where only police officers can carry guns.
Beau Lamarre had quite a record and seems to have become and stayed a cop thanks to family nepotism.
BREAKING: @nswpolice officer Beau Lamarre has been charged with the murders of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies. It’s alleged the officer fired from his police issued gun at Paddington, before hiring a van and transporting the men's bodies, which are yet to be found

"Iran lured Jared Kushner & Steve Witkoff to peace talks, and then murdered them"
"Iran bombed an elementary school in Texas, murdering 160 school girls."
"Iran is waging a war of annihilation against New York City, whose residents will suffer from cancerous ailments for decades because the US bombed an oil refinery in NYC, turning NYC skyline into acid-oil-rain."
"Iran murdered Donald Trump"
"Iran murders 1,300 Americans in first week of war of aggression waged on the USA"
This is how the news looks like if you are from Iran.
@ann_meharg@HarleyD1008 Almost everyone in Aus, vaccinated or not has caught Covid, it's just asymptomatic in most people, even most unvaccinated - how did it spread through WA with 98% vaccinated if the vaccinated can't catch it?
@jjamo262@MrRexPatrick Russia manufactures those things for domestic market and close allies like Belarus, for actual international markets Russia mostly exports oil/grain/minerals, hence why they're considered "low complexity", but more independent at least.
@MrRexPatrick Delusional confidence in our currency remaining high enough to attract skilled temporary migrant workers, and for AI to cheaply replace locals when possible. While being protected by the USA and selling 1/3rd of our produce to China, "optimistic" barely begins to describe it.
Australian manufacturing is barely above 5% of GDP (US=10%). Our economic complexity ranking has fallen to 105th place (US=15th). Yet Australian taxpayers are funding US domestic manufacturing recruiting, training and equipment procurement. 🤦♂️ #fail#AUKUS#FOI#auspol
@Jikkyleaks Extremely common AI-art L, just wait till the same AI is drawing up architectural drafts and structural-engineering schematics. It'll be like those tilting, duct-taped buildings in Idiocracy.
@vancemurphy@ConservJam@nsfairbanks In fairness, 95% of Aussies have never touched a gun nor know anything about guns, so this kind of deer in headlights behaviour (pull out your phone and stand in the open filming) is not unexpected, although it was dumb.
I was forced to delete a bunch of old tweets in reply to another user - who was unfairly suspended - because of X's new "spiderweb" #shadowban feature that attacks all interacting accounts.
Ironically, he had good material, now gone, on the platform enabling actual botnets:
@ichudov@ArmchairW Iran is clearly unable to prevent the USA and Israel from flying jets in their skies, Ukraine lasted so long because they could threaten Russian planes in their airspace. Air defence is obviously paramount.
This is the part people don't get. The immigration crisis? Perfect opportunity for the oligarchs to implement mass surveillance, digital ID, CBDCs, etc.
They wargamed it all, remember? Quite literally. Remember HIIDE? Same tech used to pull biometrics from insurgents, and now, they're going to use the same playbook on everyone else.

@uTobian I don't think many people are dying from either the coronavirus or the vaccine in 2025.
It's over for now, but will soon be repeated with some new "plague", probably shelved until after the Israel-Iran spat due to the majority of people's inability to concentrate.
@ichudov Realistically, if the USA is at war with some middle eastern country, that would usually be to the benefit of China (their main supplier in terms of manufacturing). China profited from the RU/UA war.
So, greed would be stronger than spite, I'd guess.
Just to follow up, knowing this will anger many, here are theories that, IMO, are probably mostly correct:
a. earth is round
b. gravity is real, and distinct from electricity
c. nuclear weapons are real
d. evolution of species
e. plate tectonics
f. microbiome bacteria key role in fatal infections
g. allergies
h. cancer with growing tumors causing organ failures
i. greenhouse-gas effect as a planetary phenomenon (but not post-industrial warming)
j. forest fires as unavoidable natural phenomenon (fuel + drought) (see: https://t.co/p7uxY7O9k7)
k. moon landings
l. geopolitics of societal structures, not requiring overlords
m. self-organization of societal dominance hierarchies
n. medicine as a major cause of death in modern times
o. that the majority of scientific articles are incorrect or misleading
p. conservation of energy (physics)
q. atoms and molecules
I joined @MediaRootsNews Radio w/ @FluorescentGrey & @AbbyMartin to discuss the PayPal mafia of rebranded neocons, and how they’re ushering us into a neofuedal tech dictatorship.

When I said below that one day after Israel murdered a 14-year-old American in the West Bank, Trump would hold Netanyahu's chair for him like a waiter, I was speaking metaphorically because he did it the last time. But yes, he did it again today:🇮🇱🇺🇸
Brazil’s President Lula da Silva on Trump’s Gaza proposal:
➡️ “What happened in Gaza was a genocide, and I honestly don’t know if the U.S.—which helped encourage everything Israel did in Gaza—would be the one to take care of Gaza.”
➡️ “It makes no sense for President Trump to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu and say, ‘We will occupy Gaza, recover Gaza, and live in Gaza.’ Where would the Palestinians live?”
➡️“The Palestinians are the ones who need to take care of Gaza. They must rebuild their homes, hospitals, and schools so they can live with dignity.”
