Two lecturers at Catholic Campion College in Sydney are overt white supremacists. They are both interlinked with #AtlasNetwork and connected operations. Read this reporting to see how overt these figures are.
We look at Pentecostal extremism; watch this too. #Auspol

Stephen McInerney and Stephen Chavura both teach at Campion, a well-connected college in Sydney's west that promises undergraduates a vibrant campus, Catholic values, and a focus on the classics.
The pair also promotes white nationalism.

It's actually WORSE

Labor SA Premier Malinauskas has also teamed up with Woodside to GASLIGHT THE PUBLIC

No, WoodCIDE & Premier Malinauskas, ⬆️ FOSSIL GAS production INCREASES C & GHG pollution to our shared atmosphere & worsens #ClimateBreakdown—⬆️ FOSSIL GAS supply is NOT "a net zero solution"☠️
Screenshot of a Woodside Energy LinkedIn quote-post of a post from Liz Westcott

It reads:
"Our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Australia Liz
Westcott caught up with the South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas at The Australian's Energy Nation Conference and thanked him for his powerful endorsement for the role of gas."

Liz Westcott's post reads:
"It was great to catch up with Peter Malinauskas at The Australian's Energy Nation Forum in Sydney.

The Premier shared a compelling example of the role gas can play in decarbonisation.

He said that the Whyalla steelworks transitioning from a blast furnace burning metallurgical coal to using gas for direct iron production would halve the annual emissions of the steelworks.

But the Premier said to achieve it, South Australia will need a lot more gas than is currently available.

To put it another way, he said his support for gas is underpinned by his support for net zero.

At Woodside we wholeheartedly agree. Increased gas supply is a net zero solution.

Thank you for your unequivocal advocacy Premier."

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland
At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

This is a bizarre thing to publish on the day the federal court awarded a journalist $220,000 for being unfairly dismissed from an on-air role for their political views.

In Australia it isn't just private companies that cave to pressure, it's the public broadcaster

The Albanese govt's approval of Woodside's NW Shelf gas project "could lead to new gas basins being opened and billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide being pumped into the atmosphere. The decision has prompted anger and understandable accusations of hypocrisy." #ClimateCrisis #auspol

The government has laid out the perils of the climate crisis for Australia – but will it meet the moment?
Grave remarks on the potential shocks to people, property and the economy are all too familiar. Putting a credible number on the emissions target is the harder part * Sign up for climate and environment editor Adam Morton’s free Clear Air newsletter here * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast It is hard to imagine there will be a more important piece of work put out by the Albanese government in this term of parliament than the national climate risk assessment. It suggests that at more than 2C of global heating – a level we are headed towards on our current trajectory – the systems Australians rely on could start to crumble and collapse. That’s an easy thing to say, but a hard thing to get your head around. There was a huge amount of information released on Monday, including an adaptation plan that is only the start of grappling with the issue, and it will take time to digest. But it is worth considering what the assessment led by the Australian Climate Service says about the country’s economic future if global emissions are not curbed and temperatures continue to rise.

"Anthony Albanese's claim that more fossil gas is needed for the energy transition is unscientific nonsense - it is gas industry propaganda raised to the level of state policy – and reflects a stampede toward more fossil fuels rather than a transition away."

To be clear, the "trans" thing comes from Kash Patel. It's agenda-driven. It has zero basis in fact. Like MAGA is a fucking child with a noisy toy and that's the button it loves to press because of the noise it makes TRANS TRANS TRANS. These people are dumb as fuck. Cartoon credit Sophie LaBelle

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle
One thing that has become really clear since yesterday is that we live in at least two different realities. Talking to a friend who only knew Charlie as a Christian motivational speaker because that's all that ever came across her feed. Showed me videos I've never seen before of him saying perfectly reasonable and empowering things.

I showed her videos she'd never seen before of his racism, misogyny, homophobia, advocating for violence against specific groups of people. She was horrified by his remarks about Pelosi's husband's attacker being bailed out and celebrated for his violent act. She was horrified by a number of things that he said, but she had never seen or heard them before, the same as I had never seen or heard the generalized clips of him sounding like a perfectly nice loving man and father.

Neither of us had a whole picture of this man. I mentioned he was a known white supremacist and she thought I was joking.

She talked about him giving a speech about finding your purpose and doing good in the world and I thought she was joking. I saw why this friend was mourning the loss of a person she thought was a good person.
My friend, bless her, saw why I feel the way I do about him. We understood each other better. In spite of a multi-billion dollar internet machine specifically focused on keeping us apart. Because we talked to each other with the desire to listen and to learn rather than the desire to change someone else's mind or to be "right".

None of those motivational things he said change my opinion about him because they don't erase the negativity, the subtle calls for violence, the belittling and denigrating of other races religions genders etc. His negative and blaming comments about homeless people, the poor, and victims of domestic violence. His comments about rounding up people who didn't think like him and putting them in camps where their behavior could be corrected. That time he said empathy was a made-up word he didnt believe in. That other time he said the Civil Rights Act was a mistake. The time he said most people are afraid when they get on a plane and see that there's a black pilot. His anti-vaccination rhetoric and his active campaigning against people being allowed to wear masks for their own health. His open support of fascism and white supremacy. To me, all of those are fully unchristian sentiments. Those are undeniable and just one of them would be a deal-breaker for me. All of them together are a picture of a man who was polarizing, enraged a lot of people and rightly so, but even with all of that I would never wish upon him or especially his children the end that he got.
Oh, and my friend had never heard, and God help me I don't know how she escaped the news, but she had never heard of the Minnesota legislators who were shot in June. The husband and wife and dog who were killed, one after throwing themselves over their child to protect the child. The other couple who somehow survived.

Politically motivated attacks specifically because they were democrats. She learned about those shootings that happened months ago because I showed her Charlie Kirk's comments about them. The kidnapping plot against a female Midwestern Democratic governor. The assassination attempt against Pennsylvania's democratic governor. All things Charlie had plenty to say about while supporting the Second Amendment and bashing the Democratic party. She didn't know about any of it because we're all living in two different worlds and none of us have the whole story.

Saw someone note that if Tyler Robinson had killed anyone else on the Utah campus (even if it had been multiple people) Kirk and his supporters would not have given one damn about them.

We know this because not one of them gives a damn about the school shooting that happened the same day.
