That was a shocker of an interview/interrogation by David Marr. Marr seemed to be desperate to trip Hedges up. Kudos to Chris Hedges for not losing his cool.

Obvs this was embarrassing and yet another example of Israel turning otherwise sensible people into logic-defying, genocide excusing sycophants. But it's also such a waste of an opportunity. Why wouldn't anyone want to learn from Hedges? The guy has more experience & integrity than almost anyone

Why was David Marr so obsessed that Chris Hedges' tour was being organised by an anti-genocide advocacy group, but not at all concerned that the National Press Club is sponsored by the wealthiest, most complicit genocide enabling weapons manufacturers in the entire world? 🤷‍♂️

Ugly end to Kryptos saga. Two people found the solution to the last encrypted portion of famed Kryptos sculpture at CIA headquarters. They found it in Smithsonian archive. They contacted artist who made sculpture, who is preparing to auction off solution; he threatened to sue them if they reveal it

This is work in progress, but I'll soon update this page to contain an extensive archive of racist comments that I receive, primarily on X. The sheer volume is hard to keep up with, but it's important to document. I'll share the raw archive with the Islamophobia Register.

Huge rally for Free Palestine today - I think the biggest ever. South Australian’s want a just, lasting peace, Palestinian statehood and self-determination, hostages free, pursuit of war criminals and an end to any Australian public investment in armaments.

Massive crowds in every major city and all the small towns protesting also against Israel's genocide and our governments complicity. People are angry and sad and sickened by the monster in chief, albanese.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Raghad. Raghad is 22 years old and was finishing her studies to be a nurse. She wanted to go into nursing because her mother had a stroke that made her lose movement in her arms and legs. They are now displaced with her 10 siblings.

"Russia and Iran are regimes with tentacles committing brutal and irrational acts.

In contrast, ABC presents Israel as a democracy. Despite a scholarly consensus it is committing genocide, all criticism of Israel is removed from headlines in a 'both-siding' process."

The headlines Australians read – and what we’re told to feel
Most people don’t read past the headlines of news articles, either because they don’t have time or because the article itself is paywalled (for example, in Australia, News Corp and Nine websites).
