@marcuskelson Has this been the plan all along? Let Joe stumble until the party takes him out - rather than a routine handover to VP midway through a term?

@Telstra this number calls offering discounted Telstra charges. One of yours?

In a time of increasing regional tension, Australian media need to be on high alert to lies from 'intelligence sources' -- recalling how we were fed lies about WMD to join an illegal war against Iraq.

In 2021 when the ASIO chief told journalists the scary tale of a "nest of spies" at work against Australia, he declined to say who -- but he knew he'd set the hare running.

👁️This is how it's done, in the best 'House of Cards' tradition:
Accuse spies of treachery, then hold off publicly saying the details, knowing that others would do so -- all the while maintaining your own dignified silence -- "But I could not possibly comment."

On cue, up pop several 'inside intelligence sources' to brief senior journalists to accuse 'Russia' as the evil spies:

👉Nine Network: "The most likely candidate would be Russia."

👉Seven Network: We don’t know for sure, but almost certainly Russia."

👉SkyNews: "He’s actually talking about Russia."

👉ABC News: "Security sources are privately pointing at Russia."

👉The Australian: “Senior operatives in the intelligence community strongly speculated that Russia was the nation state in question."

👉The Guardian: "There is a very high degree of certainty Mike Burgess is talking about Russia," according to ASPI Executive Director, old war horse Peter Jennings.

But we now learn from journalists -- in the US, not Australia -- that the spying country was actually India.

So, before 'senior intelligence sources" start whispering again -- and we join another illegal bloody war -- is it time for a Royal Commission into the intelligence community?
