How can ASIO boss Burgess say there is no domestic threat from IDF soldiers returning from a war zone in Palestine where Murder, Atrocities and Genocide is being committed?

[Mr. Nobody @MmisterNobody]

Remember when the power grid was supposedly unable to handle electric cars or everyone running air conditioning, yet now data centers are suddenly "essential"?

"It is difficult to credibly argue that genocide was not committed on Australian shores without sounding like a deranged, budgie-smuggling, onion-eating, supremacist weirdo."

Andy Burnham is going to be different? Really? He's just tapped a former chair of Labour Friends of Israel as his chief of staff.

I explain in my latest article how modern Labour is now unreformable: https://t.co/9MMElKQfku

"There are a few things we did to advance the agenda of the Israeli military that I really cannot talk about…"

The CEO of Oracle, which now controls TikTok's algorithm, admitted on camera that the firm assisted the Israeli military in the Gaza genocide.

If our AFP caught a CIA spy bribing ASIO officers, and CIA offered Albanese $3.3 million to hush it up, what do you think he would do…?

A 23-year-old man from Louisiana, Daniel Cressy, has become the first person in the state to be effectively cured of sickle cell disease through a CRISPR-based gene-editing treatment.

He had lived since childhood with sickle cell disease, a genetic condition that affects the shape of red blood cells. Instead of being round and flexible, the cells become rigid and crescent-shaped, which can block blood flow. This leads to extreme pain episodes, organ damage, strokes, and other serious complications. The disease comes from a single change in the gene that controls haemoglobin, the protein responsible for carrying oxygen around the body.

Because the disorder is caused by a specific genetic mutation, it became an early focus for CRISPR technology, often described as a kind of “molecular scissors” that can edit DNA.

For the treatment, doctors first collected his blood-forming stem cells and sent them to a laboratory. There, scientists used CRISPR-Cas9 to modify the cells, not by directly repairing the faulty gene, but by reactivating the production of fetal haemoglobin, a natural form of haemoglobin present before birth that does not cause red blood cells to sickle.

Once enough fetal haemoglobin is produced, it can take over the role of the faulty adult version and prevent the disease process.

Before the modified cells were returned to his body, doctors used chemotherapy to make space in his bone marrow. After the infusion, the edited stem cells began generating healthy red blood cells.

The therapy, known as Casgevy, became the first CRISPR-based treatment approved for use in 2023 and is seen as a major breakthrough in genetic medicine.

It is very hard to assess anything CEO ASIO Mike Burgess says about antisemitism in Australia when Mossad advises ASIO & is also very open about it huge exercise in embedding agents in Iran

Elon Musk swore in 2021 he'd give the WFP $6B to solve world hunger if it came up with a plan to do so. So it did. He responded by blowing it off and donating to his own Foundation instead—which purely benefits him.

He's a monstrous piece of shit.

STOP BEING CONNED BY THIS MAN.

Israel is shooting and killing civilians returning to their homes in Nabatieh, South Lebanon.

Read that again.

Invading Israeli soldiers are opening fire on Lebanese residents on Lebanese soil.

There is no “ceasefire” when civilians are being shot for going home.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

My family and I are exposed to all sorts of threats, restrictions and hateful rethoric.

Yet we would say and do everything we have said and done against the genocide, its ideologues and profiteers, again and again.

Forever proud to stand on the side of Justice.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

A new UN report says Israel is committing genocide by DELIBERATELY TARGETING PALESTINIAN CHILDREN and I can’t find anything about it from @nytimes @AP @washingtonpost @CNN @SkyNews…

How is this not the top headline at every major news outlet?

@ArtistAffame The deceitful way Origin let me know- they sent a letter saying my bill will 'change'. Then provided a chart with new costs- some up, some down, & veiled suggestion that my bill will be one quarter cheaper- so rang & yep- a 5% INCREASE is what it all means. 🤬🤬🤬

IRANIAN PRESIDENT: “If we did not have our defensive missiles, Israel and America would have plowed through Iran the way Gaza was plowed through, showing no mercy to the old or the young. They speak of human rights. It is a great lie.”

It’s a hard truth to hear, but it’s true.
