Remember when the Panama Papers came out, revealed that all rich people in the world are part of enormous criminal network to dodge taxes and hoard stolen wealth in offshore accounts, and the journalist who reported was murdered by a car bomb, and no one was held accountable, and literally nothing happened.

Remember that there are 3 million files of documented evidence about powerful men and women who raped, cannibalized, trafficked, filmed, terrorized, tortured, hunted, and murdered 13, 14, 15 year children, and no one was held accountable, and literally nothing happened.

Remember that the United States literally kidnapped a sitting president of a foreign country and his wife and they’ve just been sitting in jail for the past 6 months, and no one was held accountable, and literally nothing happened.

Remember that there are two genocides—one in Gaza and the other in Lebanon—and that there are arrest warrants for war crimes and crimes against humanity, and no one was held accountable, and literally nothing happened.

This is what will happen—and continue to happen—if we do not unite to enforce international law.

Hebrew media:

Yashar Party leader, General Gadi Eisenkot: “There is no Palestinian state, and under the government we form, such a state will not be established.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “A Palestinian state will not be established as long as I am in government.”

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir: “We will not allow the establishment of a terrorist Palestinian state.”

This Age Article reports that senior Brethren members allegedly paid far-right activists to disrupt the Liberals’ political opponents while the sect was part of a multimillion-dollar campaign to help elect Peter Dutton.

Quite the support network.

Fucking extraordinary:

The Exclusive Brethren campaigned extensively to help elect the Liberals and allegedly funded far-right agitators, including some linked to neo-Nazis, to track, heckle, ambush and disrupt Labor, Greens and Independent candidates.

Super dark stuff here — @VanJones68 again shows how compromised he is by joining Noa Tishby for a full-on pro-Israel propaganda video telling us not to believe our eyes about the genocide in Gaza.

Air quality alert for Mount Thorley due to PM10 levels. That makes 189 air quality alerts for the Upper Hunter this year.

New boats have set sail in another attempt to break Israel’s nearly two-decade-long siege on Gaza. This comes after Israeli forces intercepted at least 70 boats in flotillas carrying aid to Gaza and beat international activists in late April and mid-May.

Hey @woolworths I was a long term @Coles shopper but stopped going when I found out they are using Palantir. I’m disgusted that you too have chosen to breach the privacy & trust of your customers. Shameful behaviour.

The Atlantic’s owner is friends with Ghislaine Maxwell, and its editor-in-chief was an IDF concentration camp guard who admitted to beating Palestinian detainees & covering up torture.

They run articles calling the Epstein accusations "fake" & labeling progressives "parasites."

[Deepcut News @deepcutnews]

🚨JUST IN🚨

A NSW Supreme Court judge has delivered a sweeping rejection of the IHRA definition of antisemitism, saying it is 'detached from reality'.

The criticism came in a decision rejecting the NSW government’s bid to place a young Sydney man under a terrorism supervision order.

Citing a Pew Research poll in June, the justice said that “it would be preposterous to suggest that 79% of Australians are antisemitic because they disapprove of Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians”.

Senate Rushes Bill to Permanently Expand ASIO Spy Powers

Australia’s Senate plans to rush through the ASIO Amendment Bill this week, making compulsory questioning powers permanent and expanding adult warrants that allow interrogation without lawyers present, with secrecy rules risking prison for breaches. Critics like Shoebridge highlight the tight schedule on Thursday, August 20, leaving little time for scrutiny or amendments amid cross-party support. The move draws fire alongside concerns over blocking an ex-ASIO source from testifying at the Bondi terror attack royal commission.

But wait - there’s more.

The NDIS Bill, which targets participants and contains less than 2% fraud measures, goes much further than this.

Check out the Regulatory Powers Act.

It gives them the power ro do this to US.

@AngusTaylorMP @MRobertsQLD @LiberalAus #auspol

NDIS Bill Schedule 2 — the ASIO-style provisions
All from the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Bill 2026, Schedule 2, as detailed in the Revised Explanatory Memorandum and the APH Bills Digest.
Entry, search and seizure (the closest NDIS analogue to expanded interrogation powers, applies to disabled people)
•Item 33 → new Part 3C of Chapter 4, new s 73ZSA — applies Part 2 of the Regulatory Powers (Standard Provisions) Act 2014 to the NDIA. Part 2 carries entry and inspection powers.
•Item 33 → new s 73ZSB — applies Part 3 of the Regulatory Powers Act. Part 3 carries entry, search and seizure powers, on warrant.
•Item 33 → new ss 73ZSC and 73ZSD — bring equipment onto premises, examine or process “things”, move a thing off-site for up to 14 days (single extension up to 7), operate electronic equipment at another place, access, copy and seize data.
•Item 33 → new s 73ZSL and s 73ZSM — Minister may set, by legislative instrument, the conditions on and carve-outs from these powers.
Compulsory production and appearance (the “compulsory questioning” analogue)
•Item 12 → new s 53(3) — civil penalty of 60 penalty units for failing to give information or produce a document under s 53(1). Section 53 already reaches participants and prospective participants.
•Item 76 → amended s 53(2) — expands the matters on which a participant/prospective participant can be compelled to produce, adding “the functions of the Agency”.
•Item 79 → new s 54(4) — the NDIA can require a person to appear before a specified Agency officer to answer questions, on at least 14 days’ notice. This is the compulsory-questioning provision on the participant side.
•Items 77–78 → amended s 54(2), new paras 54(2)(f)–(g) — notice must warn of the s 53(3) civil penalty and note the self-incrimination protection.
•Item 80 → amended para 56(2)(d) — parallel warning that non-compliance with a s 55/55A notice is an offence under s 57(1).[gov]
Self-incrimination — what it does and does not do
•The Bill preserves the privilege on the face of the notice through new s 54(2)(g) and amended s 56(2)(d), which must state the person is not required to answer or produce if it might incriminate them or expose them to a penalty.
•Neither the Revised EM nor the DSC deep-dive identifies any use immunity or derivative-use immunity — the Bill is silent on that. That is the equivalent civil-liberties hole in the NDIS Bill.
Computer / device-access assistance offence (the “unlock your phone” clause)
•Item 33 → new s 73ZSE — an issuing officer can order a specified person with knowledge of the computer or data-storage device to give information or assistance to access, copy or convert data on the premises, moved off-site, or seized.

This isn’t some random psycho.

He’s Israel’s National Security Minister. He runs prisons and police. The government relies on his party’s support.

Neither do his comments exist in a vacuum.

Polling shows 76% of Jewish Israelis think “there are no innocents in Gaza”.
