A good read from Amnesty Australia about your rights if protesting - President Herzog (AKA Signer of Bombs that Blow Up Children and Assistant in a Genocide). Yes the Minns government announced draconian rules but its not unlawful to protest tomorrow

So apparently soon I could face up to TWO YEARS in jail for political art that says “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” if someone "takes offence". This is what Crisafulli is proposing in QLD. Acceptable speech is narrowing in real time. And it's fckn terrifying.

Isaac Herzog, special guest of the Australian government this week, is in the Epstein files.

It appears he went to the pedo rape torture island, alongside Ehud Barak, former Israeli PM, in 2014, long after Epstein’s conviction and outing as a predator.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

Haven’t tuned in to parliament for a while but sounds like it’s worth it to see the empty LNP benches. Pretending to be cross benchers not fair for the genuine cross benchers.

Epstein was definitely involved in global espionage/influence campaigns.The files show literally hundreds of honeypot scenarios with some of the world's richest and most powerful people. Is it Putin, Saudi's, Israel, UAE, Yemen? He had his hands in EVERYTHING.
