This is the part to the Ben Roberts-Smith story that makes my blood boil.

On the night of August 29th, 2012 a Taliban sleeper agent in the Afghan National Army massacred three Australian soldiers in cold blood as they prepared to sleep on their own base.

Their names were Private Robert Poate, Sapper James Martin and Lance Corporal Rick Milosevic.

The rogue Afghan soldier was named Hekmatullah. It was the fourth insider, or ''green-on-blue'' attack by Taliban sleeper agents in the Afghan National Army against Australian soldiers in 15 months.

Out of the 41 Australians who died in Afghanistan, 7 died by way of these insider attacks - attacks which technically constitute the war crime of perfidy.

Hekmatullah's attack was a war crime under Article 37 of Additional Protocol I (1977) to the Geneva Conventions which prohibits perfidy as an act of war.

By enlisting in the Afghan National Army and wearing its uniform, Hekmatullah presented himself as a co-belligerent fighting alongside Australian forces - not against them. He invited the confidence of Australian soldiers so as to lead them to believe that they were entitled to protection under international law, and then betrayed that confidence to massacre them as they prepared to sleep.

Ben Roberts-Smith was one of the first on base after the attack. He was ordered to find and apprehend Hekmatullah in order to bring him to justice.

Acting on intelligence, Roberts-Smith and his men were led to the village of Darwan, where Roberts-Smith is then alleged to have committed a war crime, supposedly kicking a farmer named Ali Jan off a cliff and ordering his execution.

Roberts-Smith has always maintained that Ali Jan was a Taliban spotter in a village that was a Taliban stronghold. It is a matter of historical fact that there was confirmed armed Taliban presence in the village of Darwan the day of the raid.

Robert Poate's father Hugh defended Ben Roberts-Smith and his actions: ''These citizens in the village could well have been a civilian one day and pulling the trigger the next, that‘s the way the Taliban operated. This perspective should have been included to provide some balance and context.''

The Taliban fought by blending into the civilian population. They pushed sleeper agents into the Afghan National Army and murdered our soldiers in moments of vulnerability.

Where is Hekmatullah today? He lives in Afghanistan as a free man, feted as a hero by the Taliban. They don't give a fuck about international law or human rights or war crimes. They openly boast about the way they slaughtered our soldiers through acts of betrayal and perfidy.

So my proposal is this: Australia can put Ben Roberts-Smith on trial when the Taliban hand over Hekmatullah, preferably dead, his head on a silver platter.

Until that time, FREE BEN ROBERTS-SMITH.

A Danish scientist counted bugs on the same windshield, same road, same conditions, every year for 20 years. By year 20, 80% of the insects were gone.

In Germany, a group of volunteer bug scientists did something even bigger. They set traps in 63 nature reserves, not farms, protected land, and weighed everything they caught. Same traps, same method, 27 years straight. The total weight of flying bugs dropped 76%. In midsummer, when insects should be peaking, it was 82% gone. A follow-up in 2020 and 2021 checked again. No recovery.

In the UK, they literally ask drivers to count splats on their license plates after a trip. The 2024 count came back 63% lower than just 2021. Three years.

A 2020 study pulled together 166 surveys from 1,676 locations around the world. Land insects are disappearing at roughly 9% every ten years.

Here’s where it hits your plate. About 75% of the food crops we grow depend on insects to pollinate them, everything from apples to almonds to coffee. One 2025 study modeled what a full pollinator collapse would look like: food prices jump 30%, the global economy takes a $729 billion hit, and the world loses 8% of its Vitamin A supply.

Birds are already feeling it. North America has lost 2.9 billion birds since 1970. A study from just weeks ago found half of 261 bird species on the continent are now in serious decline, and the losses are speeding up in farming regions. The birds that eat insects lost 2.9 billion. The birds that don’t eat insects? They gained 26 million. That ratio tells the whole story.

One of the German researchers behind the 27-year study drives a Land Rover. He says it has the aerodynamics of a refrigerator. It stays clean now.

Kind of gives the lie to the whole premise that the US is sliding into tyrannical fascism under President Trump, doesn't it?

These people aren't legitimately brave freedom fighters like the anti-regime dissidents in Iran.

There's no consequences to the peaceful free expression of their First Amendment rights - no fear of being murdered, gassed, or disappeared.

It's just a luxury protest that lets them emote and scream into their shared abyss.

Valorizing stochastic retardation as truth to power is just simping for elites who want to keep you on the plantation.

Trump sends the US Navy to harass narcoterrorists and everyone loses their minds.

China systematically rαρεs the oceans all over South America and the media shrugs.

Race-switching a murderer in your show to change the topic from immigration to toxic masculinity is so deeply evil and dishonest I have trouble properly expressing my rage.

I'd rather Australia take in the South African farmers than some of the other people we let into our country.
