THREAD: A veil of secrecy and forgetfulness hangs over a taxpayer-funded mission to the United States earlier this year, involving Special Envoy Jillian Segal and one staffer.
The purpose of the trip, which covered less than ten days, have never been made public.

Something to remember for you all as social media is swamped by people angry over a man they've never met - especially in Australia where that American white guy's killing is being fed out and manipulated by Advance and the Atlas group.
You're being played.
All of it is scripted agit-prop trash.

How good is it to live in an Australia where a foreign nation is deliberately starving an entire country of people and a South African born white woman is paid from Australian's taxes to defend the foreign-nation-that-starves-people and is also directed by our govt to tell us to shut up about it?

When it comes to the horrors of genocide we say these words with an ironic frequency. How do we short-circuit the re-run of this pitiful, shameful cycle?

I have not looked into this properly yet..... But it sounds like he's saying farm workers ICE seized will go back to the farms, but under a financial arrangement where the farmers will "own" them, and be "responsible for them most of the time". Didn't they have a Civil War about this stuff already?
The camp is to filter out workers for Trumps new Slavery policy where he sells them to businesses.
He says so in this video

We kept being told that journalism was a bulwark against fascism, a "fourth estate". This is the liberal frame for perceiving the industry's worth. But the reality is the polar opposite: fascism has been allowed to thrive, and could not have done so, without journalism.

A few Palestinian YouTube channels have stopped because they were killed. These were kids. They sang songs & loved birds, and showed us the ocean. I'll never forget Medo, a young man growing a garden in the midst of a genocide. Israel killed him; he showed the world that Palestinians are human.
