This isn't something distant or far away. Super-agent & close Epstein ally, John Brockman had huge influence. His 'rockstar' writers, scientists and academics dominated our book pages & broadsheets.

We need nothing less than a total revisionist history of the last 20 years.

This is not ‘social cohesion’ – it’s just a tighter net to trap us all
Australians have been lectured a lot in the past couple of years about social cohesion, but it reached a fever pitch this week in response to protests against the visit by Israel’s head of state.

The Zionist lobby, antisemitism and Herzog
Australia’s political and media response to Gaza, including the invitation to Israel’s president, reflects the influence of pro-Israel lobbying and the shrinking space for lawful criticism.

If you're an American right-wing politician or media personality who is using the tragedy at #Bondi to make negative comment about either Australia's gun control laws or our multiculturalism, kindly fuck off.

And, Netanyahu. You can fuck right off, too.

One does not need to live in Ramallah or anywhere else in the West Bank to see what is coming. Israeli forces already besiege most of the Palestinian territory, negotiated under the infamous Oslo Accords, as they besiege city after city across the West Bank.
