It’s going to be an interesting few weeks when the royal commission examines, as I suspect it will, the defraying of social cohesion caused by the organised censorship of writers, artists and employees across the country for daring to speak against an unfolding genocide

Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

Narrator: There is no justice.
It’s five years to the day since Donald Trump’s followers attempted to violently overthrow the democratically elected U.S Government following his repeated false claims that the election had been stolen.
If there was any justice Trump would be in prison, not the White House.

So the next salvo is from ex-Labor politicians. Huge groundswell. 22 of them! Some overlap with the previous eminent sporting greats. Basically if you can muster a quorum you’ve got front page coverage guaranteed. Get in line! A clear majority (of a small vocal minority) want this.

Hmm, seems the wheels of justice turn quickly in the US when the criminal president is from another country.

"If the connection between rising antisemitism and the “character of Israel’s war” was included in the royal commission’s terms of reference, though, one could easily imagine support for it evaporating."

What happened to Australia's media after the Bondi attack? It judged & blindly swung into campaign mode.
Royal commissions air everything publicly. One on Bondi would influence matters before the court because they are subject to sub judice laws. #auspol nickfeik.substack.com/p/weaponisin...
