Hey!! Here's a new piece for @thepointau.bsky.social - the first of what will be many little updates on the current state of carbon capture and storage.

Both failure-prone and eternally immune to the consequences of failure: there is absolutely nothing like it -->>

Instead of highlighting "a" single voice, a more illuminating headline might focus on why 55 literary and journalistic luminaries felt it necessary to withdraw from Adelaide Writers' Week and how Mali's mini-Minns antics trashed the reputation of one of his state's best assets.

The gaslighting is not just off the charts - it's in whole another galaxy.

But, this is also a sign of desperation.

How in the gobsmacking fuck do we live in a place where our state’s fire authorities lack sufficient equipment and personnel on catastrophic danger days like today because the government instead spends its money on non-existent, obsolete fucking submarines?

100%. We’ve seen the dossiers on individual targets that get compiled and sent to institutions in coordinated assaults. They’re incredibly detailed. The intended effect is overwhelm, and most institutions are not equipped to understand or resist it.

I wrote earlier about the catastrophic effects of pro-Israel pressure campaigns on our cultural institutions, but it seems no lessons have been learned

open.substack.com/pub/nickfeik...
On the other hand, the organised pro-Israel groups backgrounding journalists or haranguing ministers or board members have faced no consequences, despite the chaos they’ve caused. They haven’t been named or called to account in any way. It’s a perverse effect of the pressure-campaign tactics: only the victims of these attacks (the pro-Palestinian artists, writers, presenters) are put on public trial. More significantly, the damage to the institutions – the damage they have done to themselves in wronging these individuals – is not being discussed. There is a common fallacy that these institutions are protecting themselves when they hang individuals out to dry. Pressure campaigns rely on this notion when in fact the opposite is true: board members and chief executives made knee-jerk decisions under the pressure of a news deadline, thinking they’d dampen the threat, only to find the repercussions were much greater. Catastrophic, in fact.

I hope Dr Abdel-Fattah sues his arse to hell. It’s utterly disgusting how she has been defamed directly by Malinauskas and indirectly, mealy mouthedly by the AWW.

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

That they’re coming after the judges reflects their belief that they now completely own the public square. This is late-stage McCarthyism.

This is how the Oz are reporting the (main??) criticism of Bell: she once made a decision with others on the HIGH COURT about environmental protest law bans (I remember covering those, draconian) that was later CITED by a different court to allow anti genocide protests to go ahead. My god.

Peter Fitzsimons out of the Adelaide Writers Weeks as well.

About as mainstream friendly as you can get (pretty much only books my dad reads).

We are on the side of the good and the majority.

Also good note re Louise Adler - she is very much being targeted by this. Zionists *want* her to resign
Tweet from Fitzsimons Jane said it with more eloquence than I could muster. I'm out, too. With extra love for the fine Festival Director, Dr Louise Adler.

If we are to make Australia a safe place to live in freedom and safety, we must be very careful about what freedoms we remove in pursuit of safety. History suggests removing the right of diverse voices to be heard does little to ensure safety or freedom of any of us.
